EDIT: For the thread, I pick Mimic. And like always I try to reshape to world in my view smile

King Castle
can we add Ms. Marvel?

any mods out there?

@pharmacy


why?
what would you do?

Parmaniac
These people are not powerful enough for my intentions, the IG would be good or a pre retcon MM or Beyonder.

Mimic, probably...

I'd pick Superboy. I'd become a professional athlete with an extended career, accumulate vast wealth (from playing and endorsements), and spend the subsequent centuries creating a financial empire to provide for my family and friends through the years (altering my appearance and identity so as to not raise any suspicions about why I am so long lived), and I'd commit thefts of gold, cash, etc overseas to subsidize my earnings (only if necessary).

I'd also spend a lot of time in Brazil sun bathing and having my way with the women as I'd be immune to any and all Earth diseases.

My choice of Superboy's abilities is based on his being the least conspicuous. As Thunderstrike I have to carry around a mace, and as Mimic there's the becoming metallic via Colossus which is far to obvious. I'd prefer keeping my abilities under wraps.

King Castle
how long lived do you think superboy is?

illadelph12
Depends.

If we're using Kon-El/Connor, I'd say with regular sunlight he can get at least a few millenia of life under his belt if not more considering he was genetically engineered to not age and his progenitor Kal El is pretty much immortal (Connor's template being based on Kal's Kryptonian genes).

Using the Kal El Superboy, on the other hand, I'd be immortal.

And then there's Prime...

Lunacyde
Superboy easy.

And then there's Prime... i dont recall a single bit of that being mention in his comic run.. erm

that's more like massive assumptions for the most part.

Hmm, IIRC, it was explained a short time after his genetic structure began to break down and they had to use his girlfriend as a template. He was also stuck at the growth level of being a 16 for a while due to it. That may have been retconned though. I don't have all of his comics committed to memory.

King Castle
i do and i am fully aware of what it is you are referencing.

his DNA crafting locked his genetic code at the age he was.

it simply meant he would never grow old not die or immortality.

later when Klarion used his magic it took superboy a while to be effected and age to an adult.

Superboy now ages normally the magic science of klarion and numbnuts whatever his name was fixed the DNA lock he was in prior to the sins of youth.

So does he age at the rate of a regular human or as a Kryptonian (because his genes are based on Superman's)?

*edit

Or somewhere in-between?

King Castle
originally his DNA was based to Mimic Superman's powers and abilities not actually Krpytonian.

Superboy's original DNA was human a double Helix while Superman's DNA is Triple Helix.

there was no Alien DNA in connor.. his DNA was Pseudo replicated using human DNA only.


that is why he was able to be genetically crafted with Guardian's DNA and Roxy's.

he probably would have lived a robust long life but nowhere near immortality.

now his DNA in the Retcon is Lex Luther and Superman which is ghey and doesnt fit any of the history.

but that just means he can just as easily age as a human as well..

your assumption that he is immortal or long lived are not based on any hard evidence.

the clone of Connor in the teen future storyline had him with a receding hairline an aging marker if i ever saw one.

he has half the strength of Colossus and probably supplemented by Northstar, Wolverine, DP's powers to above half to some extend.

How far into the future did that storyline take place?

King Castle
less then a decade i wager or maybe slightly above a decade but it wasnt too far ahead.

it wasn't a receding hailine. he just had a buzz-cut imo.

yes it does. you not liking it doesn't invalidate it.

Am I the only one who thinks mimic power in are world, would be an utter waste? I mean he have no one to mimic, it be utter waste of a power.

i think people were assuming they'd have the five standard powers that the exiles one has.

Yea that would make more senses.

What are his powers? I recall them being colossus, wolverine, north star and then I forget the rest.

Q99
I go with Mimic (EXiles). He had a nice variety of powers that gives flexibility in approaches, though I'd prefer the version where he had Beast powers instead of Deadpool's.

and cyclops too i think.

Dum Dum Dugan
I would pick mimic then.

Q99
His powers:
Colossus (always)
Cyclops (always)
Wolverine (always)
A flight power- briefly started out as Angel, but quickly replaced with Northstar
Another physical power- Beast for most of the run, but towards the end replaced with Deadpool.

So his power set for 80%~ of his appearances is Cyc, Wolv, Colos, North, and Beast.


I'll note that his Northstar/Angel powers don't work very well when armored up, but he can swap back and forth at will so he's pretty well set.

---

All of them are at 'half the strength' of the original, though they stack, and Colossus's power is 'turn into certain alloy' so I'd say he's about as tough as Colossus too (he once beat a Namor in melee).

illadelph12
Wait, so if CURRENT Superboy has the genes of Superman and Lex Luthor, does he age like a human or like a Kryptonian, or somewhere inbetween (being that he's a bioengineered hybrid)? Also, if he doesn't "grow old" by design, how would his body decay by aging in order for him to die? Immortality doesn't necessarily mean he can't be killed in so much as if he doesn't receive a fatal injury (like decapitation, atomization, etc.) he'd live a really long time. Like Thor or Superman, for example. Was Superboy designed with a short shelf life? I thought the whole point of his creation was to create a duplicate of Superman in every way possible?

yes it does. you not liking it doesn't invalidate it. actually it really doesnt. i dont know how you can say it does, i can point out repeated gaps in SB history to make the point.

Colossus-Big C
any scans of mimic using the xmen powers?

rotiart
? You mean the exiles mimc or the original?
Original mimic had powers of the classic five xmen...

and i can point out all the superboy/titans stories that are richer as a result of the retcon.

that, and how richer and deeper the character is...
