Marvel and DC universe combine into one Universe and you are miraculously given the choice to choose out of these three powers and abilities. Whom abilities would you choose?

Thor
Silver Surfer
Superman
Hal

Your NOT that person, their powers are just transferred over to you.

Thor, of course.

Surfer. Thor is also good. I have shit imagination, though, and I don't like Super powerset.

1.Surfer...can do virtually anything

2. Thor...only I would be awesome ALL the time

3. Supes...but I would invent a suit to keep me permanently guarded against K and fully sun dipped charged.

4.Hal...I would "will" the ring to be permanently fully charged.

Surfer/Thor
GL
Superman

Virtual immortality and versatility is where it's at.

GL, no question. You all are imagining yourselves as comic characters, and nothing but. A GL ring would help you save the world and take out the trash while you're watching TV.

Having Superman's power set in any non-fictional setting would be a nightmare. Minimum, you'd slaughter hundreds and wreck buildings before getting your powers figured out to the extent that you could be a functional part of society. Same with Thor.

That leaves only Surfer and GL, and while Surfer's powers are versatile in a comic sense, like we enjoy thinking about in vs. battles, a GL's real-world versatility would be off the charts.

And if you're worried about immortality, the ring has enough history with that sort of thing - Alan Scott's functional immortality (albeit with a slightly different power sources), or any ring's molecular manipulation - that it could be figured out.

But I don't care about other people's lives.

Plus I'd be immortal.

Superman, easily.

Super-intelligence, immortality, speed etc.

Just with the super-intelligence + speed combo I'd be able to advance humanity to a ridiculous degree.

Superman

Surfer, natch'.

I'm worried about willpower.

I mean,I'd love to be able to speak five languages, finally learn the violin, get that 10 pack, fix that shelf etc.

But I have no will power. I'm eating cakes.

I'd be a shit ringslinger.

Surfer
Can do anything
Learn anything,fix anything with CA
Among others

Yeah but the GL ring is dependent on willpower. Are you sure you have enough willpower to actually do all the stuff you want?

Mm. Yeah, I guess that's an issue. At least you admit your weakness.

Have you ever done anything like quit smoking cold turkey to support such a notion lol

I mean I'd wager that Green Arrow has quite a bit of willpower by real world standards and from what I understand he had some issues operating a GL ring.

Do u really want a ring ure gonna have to constantly charge like a cell phone?

I say inexhaustible energy source for the win.

Honestly, I'd probably pick Superman. I suffer from pretty serious bouts of ennui so the idea of immortality is somewhat frightening to me. With Supes's powers I could have quite a bit of fun/excitement then just move to a world under a red sun to live out my life like normal when I got bored with the game and everyone I loved was dead.

Not quit smoking, since I never smoked in the first place. But I went cold turkey on soda after forming what was a reasonably strong addiction to it. Went two years before I allowed myself any slack, and even then it was a deliberate choice, not "giving in." For another example, I'm currently planning my 2018 budget, which includes, among other things, zero "stuff" purchases (excluding replacements for existing items breaking, lost, etc.), and zero alcohol in restaurants (grocery store only, and even then only for social gatherings, not day-to-day use). I have every expectation of being able to do both. Not Herculean feats, granted, but changes that will require ongoing use of will, surely.

We think of willpower as some magic innate trait because of how it's portrayed in things like comics. But the science behind it suggests it's more like a muscle that can get stronger with deliberate practice, and variables such as diet and sleep can directly impact it. I think I'm alright as-is, but would devote myself to it even more if I suddenly gained a ring capable of planetary-level force and versatility limited only by my imagination.

So yeah, I think I'd be fine as a GL. And frankly, I think a lot of people could learn to be good GLs. Not all, mind you, but some. I'm not claiming some special ability others don't have; I just genuinely think I'd maximize the **** out of a ring in ways the other power sets (particularly Superman and Thor) couldn't. Only Surfer's power cosmic is mildly tempting in comparison.

His will power,whilst strong, was too cynical.

Which sounds like Digi, tbh.

Superman easily. He gets actually more powerful as he ages and is effectively immortal.

I'd have to watch you, with that mindset. Id dawn the hammer just to keep Phil from ruling the world. The first thing I'd do is send the hammer to the Phantom Zone.

Surfer. This is a no brainer. Power cosmic can virtually do anything. It also doesn't have so many exploitable weaknesses.

Before or after I punch you to death at Superspeed?

Power cosmic rapes the people from Krypton.

Carver clearly meant that we get the powers of Hal. Not GL. Hal Jordan....

Dang!!! Didn't catch that. Rushing and typing at work.

None of the 4.
If the options of Dr Sttamge, or Fate, Arion, shaman (alpha flight) etc were there I'd pick one of those.

Magic is always my fave

GL is up there for me, period. Like, top 5 sub-Skyfather. Magic would be a good choice too, though.

Surfer can synthesize magic tho

depends--if by powers are transferred you mean i can use the ring as well as hal, i'd likely take the ring.

This is why i'm glad there are no super powers in the real world.

Magic has a mystique that surfer lacks.

Mystique = cool
