You gain one of these abilities for 24hrs... What do you do?

Galan007
This is you as you are in the real world. You gain access to ONE of these abilities for 24hrs... Which do you choose and why? How would you use the selected ability?

1.) The speed of Quicksilver.
2.) The luck of Domino.
3.) The intelligence of Batman.
4.) The strength of Hulk.
5.) The TP of Xavier
6.) The Green Lantern ring of Hal Jordan.
7.) The technopathy of Hank Henshaw.
8.) The transmutational powers of Firestorm.


Stips:
*No time shenanigans or loopholes whatsoever. You have these abilities for 24 hours in real time and that's it.
*You don't have any prior knowledge of how to use the ability you've selected... You go into this 'dry' as it were, and have to learn as you go.

2 is all you need.

Because this is my goal:


Oo9buo9Mtos


Trouble is, I don't have any idea who the enemies of mankind even are. So the luck should hopefully take care of that


Go scorched earth, big 'ol killing spree of the decadent and rich and fat. Clean sweep on the old world order.

The luck will make sure I can do this, and do it right.


Then I'll just create a power vaccume, and murder anyone who tries to fill it. Forever.

Quicksilver.

Not gonna lie, I'd simply steal a lot of stuff laughing out loud

Xavier's TP. Can always make everyone forget everything and include massive mental blocks (like in Reed's case recently) to prevent them from ever remembering.

Then again... we're just learning to use these powers, so that makes it a shitty option, as mastery of tp takes years of practice and can be very overwhelming at first.

This is a great thread.

What would you do with technopathy, abhi?

Finally get yourself some fast Internet? stick out tongue

Technopathy for sure.

Just as good as luck because of stealing (as pointed out).

But also you could have 24 hours to learn anything about anything/anybody.

And if you were really efficient you could program systems to continue past the 24 hours.

You can sell it on the open market, just like with all precious metals. Sure, there's going to be taxes to worry about, but that's it. Just file it under crypto-currency trading.

It's a lot better than having your kneecaps broken in the basement of some casino, ending up in legal battles, or risking assassination attempts for stealing shit that doesn't belong to you.

Who do you think is watching me? If any of the World's governments had half the invigilation you suggest there'd be no narcotics trade. On top of that, precious metals aren't illegal to own or to sell.

DarkSaint85
The narcotics trade is pretty spread out across the globe, and has been entrenched for decades. In cases like N Korea and Afghanistan, it's even explicitly part of the governing bodies.

A single new player on the market? Not that the government has anything to gain, by the by. After all, as you say, it's not illegal. It's other players and parties that you'd need to be on the lookout for, especially if you're drop feeding the market over the course of a few years or whatever.

I just think it's far less risky to do all your actions in a single 24 hour period, then disappear.

"Hulk is Hulk" actually started in comics themselves, it's something Hulk likes repeating a lot, other than "Hulk smashes".

But I am not sure when exactly it started on KMC. Probably a good few years ago, when Carv wanted to make us stop differentiating between various Hulk incarnations.

Sorry, I wasn't more specific before.

What I meant is his version of 'Hulk is Hulk' not the comic books one. The latter is normal in fiction

StiltmanFTW
5 years ago, maybe?

Perhaps when Banner was Doc Green?

Maybe DS remembers, as Carv is basically his boyfriend.

with firestorms power you have to be intimately familiar with the molecular composition of what you're making or it will fail. doubt I could master that in 24 hours.

for me it would either be quicksilvers speed or dominos luck.. for personal gain. was thinking about henshaws power, but I don't think a human mind could process that much info, especially just starting out.

7.) The technopathy of Hank Henshaw.


Everything is digital now. Not only could you set up a fortune for yourself, but pull contacts resources, passports, properties etc..

Bentley
Given how data works and the fact you don't have previous knowledge on how to master your abilities I don't think you can reliably give yourself fortune, papers and properties without leaving a bunch of traces of manipulation. It's really not much better than selling rhodium in the black market.

StyleTime
Yeah, I was thinking the same. 24 hours is a small window when you're starting with absolutely zero practice or knowledge.

With technopathy, I'd be too afraid I couldn't hide everything I did in time. All my assets could be chalked up to system errors the next day, with everything being returned to the owner or otherwise corrected. Assuming I even get that far.

1, 2, and 3 seem like the only viable options in my view. And even Batman's intelligence is iffy, as you don't have the resources to actually make use of it.

Then again, I'm thinking from a lazy person's perspective.

But the way Hank does it, he just....asks a computer to do it, iirc. He doesn't actually understand how the Source Wall works, for example.

So if I went to an ATM, I could just ask it to give me money and erase all record of it, for example. Obviously think bigger - rigging share/commodity prices (so Astner gets nothing for his rhodium), title deeds, new identities etc etc.

Hank has been using that ability for years though.

brainwave Jnr has planetary level TP but in the issues showing his youth and his inexperience he still was only bombarded with local minds.

the same is true for most other inexperienced telepaths in fiction. the power level they show after they develop their power isn't what they are capable of when they first start using it. its like a muscle you have to develop its ability to do the stronger things.

inexperienced in the first 24 hours of having Xavier's TP you wouldn't even have city level capability. You haven't worked out that TP ability enough to hae developed it

Yeah, I also thought it was Xavier's current powers. Not his powers as they were when he was a child or something.

We've seen Charles's reaction when he's lost and regained his telepathy before. It's torture until he reigns the power in, and he's only able to do that due to decades of using it.

I'd be genuinely surprised if people made it out of their bedroom in 24 hours honestly. I reckon you'd get 30 seconds in and start hoping for death.

Much of TP power level comes down to learned control. I dont think Xavier is anymore powerful now than earlier he's just more adept in its use. My own thought process is quite weird with random thoughts often popping into my head out of nowhere (I don't have the most stable mind) so figured I'd be a little pre disposed to deal with it.

Bottom line I just see myself being able to deal with TP to only pick up on thoughts ablot quicker than any other choice. No way am I likely to be able to effectively use a GL ring, technopathy or firestorms transmutation in less than a week. The othersbjust sound boring

The middle page panel is pretty much me now without TP. That's why I figured it would be the easiest one for me to adapt to (not much of a change from my normal state of a 1000 or so random unconnected thoughts every minute). I mean while I've been typing to the sentence before this one I've had thoughts about 5 ps games, two of my kids sports and, my sister, a few work friends, my home loan and the recently risen interest rate and 8 things I didn't get done at work a renovation were starting soon and 5 projects I have around the home(all intermixed)

Where as if I had
Quicksilver speed wouldn't do me much good when I have no cartridges in both knees and just walking is painful.

Firestorm transmutation would require knowledge I've not been up on for over 40 years since I did high school science

Technopathy would require knowledge outside my areas of expertise to even use effectively

Batman intelligence without his wealth and resources would be pretty useless

What the hell would I want with Hulk strength?

No other power choice is even usable for me within 2 weeks to a month. At least TP I have a chance of getting something useful from in the time frame

EcstaticGrace

You can easily look that up.

Parmaniac
Rhodium is an element like carbon or oxygen. Probably the easiest thing to do with matter manipulation.

DarkSaint85
Also depends on the Firestorm.

Jason could also create complex machines, for example.

But with technopathy, you could manipulate commodity prices so that something as simple as coal or oil is as expensive/cheap as you want. Then just trade without actually needing to handle the physical item.

Precious metals have intrinsic value because of their usefulness and scarcity. So once your 24 hours are up, and the market infrastructure corrected the market-value will return.

And the thing about precious metals is that they're very compact. A ton of rhodium is 2.85 cubic feet, so the bars that you're making are not going to take up a lot of space.

The best part about the transmutation powers over technopathy is that you don't have to worry about the legal battles that follow from physical documention and testimonies.

sure you could google a pic of the molecular composition of rhodium, but that doesnt mean anything if you don't know how to use your powers in that way.

StiltmanFTW
Yes.

Even technopathy takes time to master.



If we take this rule literally, then most powers in the OP are quite useless, tbh.

Even Hulk's strength would be problematic, as we wouldn't have Bruce's mental blocks allowing us to hold back and shit. For all we know, a gentle touch of our pinkie could pulverize Sin's anus.

If goal was to gain finances then luck would be safest option (play lotto).

Using transmutation to gain finances could work but will come with a lot of problems (investigation in how you obtained materials). Note: it would be easy to make elements than compounds. Rh can be easily made just by knowing how many protons it has in each atom.

Using technopathy would be similar (investigation on how you obtained wealth). So that's risky too.

Using TP to gain wealth is extremely safe only if you gain a small amount (less than a million). Otherwise you should use that power only for having sex with anyone you see or meet.

I would go for luck or TP Tbh

It's kind of disturbing that so many of us would choose to be villains with these powers. Theft is one thing, but rape too?

It's because you're all immoral pieces of shit who'd rather redistribute assets at the determent of others to benefit yourselves rather than garnering wealth by benefiting society at large when given the opportunity.

Nah, Its just selfishness which everyone has. But not immoral per se

Edit

Well, the rape one is immoral

Maybe. But, you're still only dealing with one person's thoughts and emotions. Even just stacking 10 more people on top of that would be maddening. It'd be like Xavier almost going insane during the Korean War. https://postimg.cc/CZFBBXC5

It's not just the convenient, useful thoughts you'll receive. Everything is on the table here: an abused child's fear, anxiety disorders, orgasms, in addition to all the mundane thoughts. You'll have no way to filter any of it.

Sure, you're not in a war zone, but you'll have Xavier's sensitivity without any psychic defenses. It'll be a nightmare.

Domino's luck only works on her straight line of sight. It's quite localised.
So unless she's in the room where the lotto is drawn I don't see that helping much.

Your winnings as such would only be in maximum of hundreds of thousands within free time frame. Even that is being VERY generous.

Even if we presuppose this is the case, why would you choose a few millions, when you could stack your house with precious metals worth trillions?

If you have a rhodium bars occupying the space of a cube with the sides 6 feet, that's worth $4.41 trillion.

Then you could make some ruthenium, iridum, gold, platinum, and so on. They're all widely used for their physical properties: corrosion reisstance, conductivity and radiation absorbtion, and they're all in short supply.

Fair enough. But how would you pocket the money?

If you suddently have a couple of billion dollars in your account what that means is the the bank owes you this money, right? And if there's no transaction data, I don't think they'd let you keep it. And given the circumstances I don't think you'd have much of a legal case again them.

TBH,the most I worry about these world-changing things is there are so many factors you need to consider.

International relations, social structure, resource allocation etc. You can't make the world better by just simply doing one or two things. It maybe produces an opposite result actually.

I think the more moral way to use these abities is choosing Domino's luck power and making money. Then use said money to help your family, close friends etc

You're not reallocating assets, you're creating it. Of course, storing a couple of hundred tons of precious metals can be a bit of a hassel, but you start of by stacking your basement with a strong foundation.

You sell part of it for a couple millions, and then you buy a secure storage for it and a few mines in the third world, and suddenly there's an excuse for why you're sitting on resources worth more than most countries.

I was talking about something like stopping Russia or changing atmoshpere things. It will be great if you can handle it properly.

Drive out to the woods where no one goes. Transmute a small hill into precious metal bars. Done! That's all that I needed the powers for.

Then I simply have to drive back and forth collecting about a ton at a time, put it in the basement. Sure it will take a few hundred trips, and it might take more than a day, but it's not like I'd have to worry about going back to work the next day.

Alternatively, if you're worried about the logistics, you just put on the water in the bath dub and you transmute the water. A bathtub full of water is about half a ton, and takes about 5 minutes to fill. That's 6 tons an hour, or 144 tons in 24 hours.

Domino's luck doesn't have any real downsides, unlike some others. Her love life is the standard comic mercenary love life, but that's a personality based thing.

She's actually stated her true love might just be money.

Domino doesn't require line of sight.

Here's an example. She went treasure hunting over the ocean and located a quarter million in gold doubloons just by touching the water. Stuff like this is just a casual day off for her.

In the hopes of talking h1 out of being a serial rapist, winning money with your luck will also make it much easier to get laid.

And, you know, you won't have to become a rapist.

(Not that you could anyway, since you'd be convulsing from having Xavier's telepathy with no defenses to stop the influx of thoughts and emotions.)

Her luckbwouldnt work on the lottery. It's not in her straight line vision so not within the field of effect of her luck. She can only alter the probability of things she sees directly in front of her within a range. Watching a lotto draw on TV still has it done outside her field of effect.

She could go to a race track and bet on horses she can watch run. Pick long odds horses and use her luck. In 24 hours thats not likely to even make you a million dollars. It's not like there are a heap of 1000's:1 horses (or dogs) at the track every day. She could play at a casino again inn24 hours she isn't likely to get a million unless she has a good starting stake. I used to gamble a lot, I knew professional gamblers. You can win a million inba day but you have to start off with a 100,000 (or a few). You need to have decent money to stake to win that much. It's going to take several hours to even get a decent stake from the money I'd have to start with. I might get enough to clear the mortgage and take the family to Europe but definitely not get wealthy.. even the idea I had about the stock market wouldn't work for Domino, the things she'd need to affect to make shares rise aren't in her field of effect.

Those whose field of effects are large enough to become wealthy (like Longshot) can't use luck for personal gain.

So to prove her luck isn't localised you show scans of it localised. I' mean the water she was touching was in her direct presence. The pearl was a short swim below her.

Also how does a scan of her talking about Doubloons reference her finding pearls in oysters?

Not to mention the last scan shows she lost the 1/4 mill, so luck not all that good.

In the comics Domino actively uses her luck to attain wealth yet she's not wealthy. Given she's had them for years this sort of proves you can't possibly get wealthy with them in hours or even days or months

You said it was line of sight. It's not, which is why I posted that. And there's still more examples of that.

It's possible she was just being cheeky by calling them doubloons. It's pretty clear that is what she's referring to in-comic though.

She lost it in a fight with robots that were impervious to all her weapons. She used her luck to save herself while the robots and ship were destroyed. Her power does have limits, but we won't be fighting robots in real life while gambling.

It's actually been hinted that Domino is wealthy, multiple times. She is an extraordinarily greedy, thrillseeking person though, and would still generally pursue money regardless.

---------------------------------------------------
I was going to bring up Domino "summoning" a meteor to support the lotto idea, but it really doesn't matter. Let's throw the lotto ticket out.

There's progressive jackpot slot machines like The Megabucks that have minimum jackpots of 10,000,000$. There's several of these types around, with people winning even 40 million at a time.

Considering her powers can do this to slot machines, it shouldn't be too hard to take home a pretty big sum over 24 hours.

How about away from her?

Progressive line slots are linked machines over multiple locations. The game supplier might have linked machines in a dozen sites each taking 3% of what is waged to add to the total jackpot. Her luckbwould have to effect more than the machine she sees to get said jackpot. It's outside the range of her powers to accomplish that. Your scan of her affecting slot machines isn't a progressive line one.

It's another example of her luck having limitations. Its not all encompassing, it has falibilities. Shit goes wrong for Domino as often as it goes right. Let's take for example her 3 issue mini from 97 (only one I could lay my hands on quickly). In issue one she's attacked by a guy in jesters costume with energy whips. Jerbluck allows her to dodge and bail. As she's heading to the rooftops she's thinking unless that guy has stilts for legs I'm clear. Whatta u know, the guy has stilts.out of sight her luck was bad it then turns around again while she's facingnhim. In issue 2 she uses a pin pad to access a facility but can't get in, why didn't her luck just make the code she keyed correct. She fights Ldy Deathstrikee and the battle turns either way a fee times. She throws some grenades at Lady DS that she knocks away. Dominoblostbsight but when she regained they bounced back and lander under deathstrike. Domino just looks down at them as they explode and luckily gets shielded from the blast by Deathstrike. It goes back and fourth this way several times. Dominoes luck isn't a no limits fallacy. It has limits that have been shown over and over.

I like how we all assume Xaviers power needs time to get used to but Dominoes luck doesn't. No, instead with that power we know how to control right off the bat.

so play high stakes table games instead. you'll win every time.

the caveat is that the casino will 100% ask you to leave (ie ban you) after you hit a few major jackpots, so you'd ideally need to be in a place where you could bounce from casino to casino, like vegas or atlantic city.

that would be a very easy way to become a multi millionaire in a day. for instance even dana white made $7 million in one night by playing blackjack in vegas. with domino's powers you'd be able to easily do the same, and faster.

Plus, what constitutes 'line of sight'is pretty ill-defined, I reckoned.

What if she sat in front of a computer watching stock trades? Or a betting website with global sports?
