Which would you rather have? Parker's spidey sense, MurdockMurdock's radar sense (but normal vision) or Domino's subconscious probability manipulation?

With either Spider-Sense or probability manipulation I'd head to Vegas immediately.

In order
Probability manipulation
(like Parmaniac alluded, its a money making power)
Radar sense
(Its on all the time, and would be cool)
Spider sense
(I dont get into enough dangerous situations to need/want this above the others)

Spider sense
(I dont get into enough dangerous situations to need/want this above the others) Spider-Sense helps with gambling too.

All good answers. I'm surprised everyone opted for dominos powers. Thought it would've been spidey sense for sure but i would definetly get a lotto stub or hit the slots with dominos abilit2

How exactly would you feel things by Radar then? Is it fine tuned at all? Because technically I can still detect mechanisms inside slotmachines and know which cards someone has in their hand if my senses are fine enough. What are the limitations of this radar?

As someone who has an addiction to gambling (though havent for 12 years). I'd definitely take probability manipulation

Wouldnt that ruin the challenge of gambling though? It's the competitive part that makes gambling fun but if you know you're going to win every single time, what fun is that? You'll get bored fast.

Dude when you suffer from an addiction to gampling its no longer about a challenge its avout thinking you can win back all you lost. With probability manip I actually could.
The buzz comes from the win that feeds the addiction not the challenge that got you started. When you still only enjoy the competition your not yet addicted.

This. Followed by Spidey sense. Radar last.
I don't see a reason for any other ordering.

Domino's powers fuk with her accordig to her latest series. Also, it's fortune on behalf of somebody else's misfortune.
Spidey sense all the way. Will get rich very fast in Vegas. Also, a built in danger sense. Should be useful even without the super speed, it's not like i'm fighting super villains all day.

Are you sure you're not confusing her with Black Cat...?
Or you mean that's the latest development?

Yeah, from the latest series. Tbh I wasn't paying too much attention to the story, but there was a guy who'd get screwed throughout his whole life every time her powers saved her. Sounds funny, but it's a pretty dark issue.

Still not seeing how that would work.
It senses danger; i dont think the dealer having 21 qualifies.

It's a hax power, it sense whatever the hell Pete needs it to it. Sadly, not many writers explore it. Weirdly enough he's used it to kill at Black Jack. I'm sure Parm is familiar with the scene, maybe he'll have the scan, I can't find it.

It warns him against bad decisions:

And does so subconsciously, so he only attempts the webswings that he can make:

And last, but not least, it can ALSO work as....a radar sense:

I thought DDs radar sense works like echo loacation hax. the sounds create a 3d image of the world around him, so in fact he does see more than a regular person.
domino's power only works if she's in danger too if im not mistaken.
I'd go with DD's since its not fear or danger based.

Desmond, the guy her powers were hurting, is dead now. Inez caved his face in when she hit him mid-teleport. The luck is back to being guilt-free....albeit Domino has that childhood trauma attached to it.

Well, Domino has had the ability to control the power since childhood.

She's also consciously brought down a lightning bolt, a low probability event, during a fight.
https://postimg.cc/dhRx6c2K
Unfortunately, she was a tortured experiment of a child. She didn't really receive formal training like your more conventional X-Men, so it wasn't reliable in the past. Her recent training/flirting with Shang-Chi gave her conscious control over it though.
https://postimg.cc/dDmwhpfg
https://postimg.cc/QHfDb5hb
It was revealed her emotional state causes it to flare up, which is why it's so often associated with danger. Her training with Shang also cleared this up though.

Yeah, it's her solo series, like ol' Sammy said. I was thinking about starting a thread for it in the X-Forums, just to hear thoughts. Gail Simone is writing it.

I can't blame him for splooging at Batgirl.
I wonder was that an intentional thing from the artist. Sliding a sly sexual innuendo in there.

Yes, it does whatever writers want it to do, basically. It changes from one story to the next.
Sometimes it's foolproof, sometimes it's not. Mainly detecs danger, but some writers have it warn Pete of any movement in his vicinity, regardless of its intent.

One of the craziest and coolest thing I've seen spider sense do was save ben reilly from committing suicide. He jumped off the bridge with his eyes closed but his arm stretched out and attached him to the wall. I think he stared up cursing his spider sense
riv6672
^^^Thats amazing, no pun intended.
Scarlet315
^^^ I thought so too. Another thing the spider sense did, again for Ben was when he was walking to his motel room and his spider sense went off. He kicked open the door to find his roomate with a gun in his mouth about to pull the trigger. Reilly of course dove in to grab the gun and crush it like an empty soda can.
