You are chosen to be protector of the world: Whose powers do you take?

Still flies much faster than anyone with a green lantern ring.

But practically all of these guys can get from one planet to another, and go about the world in seconds.

You know it's just cause I don't know much about the bio aura 🙂

😆

put simply, anyone superman can maintain a lot of physical contact with (like holding in his arms) that he doesn't want to hurt, won't get hurt. depends on the amount of physical contact, i'd say...

I still don't see why anybody would pick Superman's powerset over a green lantern ring. Barring the ridiculous inconsistencies in DC power-levels, there is no way that superhuman physique would trump the ability to do -anything-

there is the strain it could put on you. and of course, personal preference.

For me it would be likely a GL Ring, followed closely by Apocalypse's powers, and then the Thor/Mjolnir set (lower on my list due to carrying a big hammer around being so conspicuous). Apocalypse is probably the most practical choice due to the whole of his powerset being innate and not relying on artifacts which could be taken away (ring, hammer) or power sources which can be readily cutoff (sunlight), though he does have the shortcoming of his powers burning out the host bodies (which he can simply create as Stryfe was), though if for the intent of this thread we're granted the powers as if it were Nur's native body we wouldn't have that issue. There's a lot of applications for control of your entire atomic structure if you're smart.

Powerset wise id pick Apocalypse.

That's something I never understood, I mean the GL ring does everything you want right? It's only limited by your imagination and willpower to fuel it, so hypothetical it should be possible to create a miracle machine in form of a construct shouldn't it?

you need a power battery also

It should at least keep you from getting taken out by Ollie's trick arrows.

Superman

Thor

Juggernaut

Flash

Apocalypse

Green Lantern

As Flash, I would use my powers to Jay Garrick it but it's more probable that I'd spend my time trying to advance my powers, mostly for the ability to fly, instead of acquiring knowledge.

no speed force in marvel 😱 j/k

Juggernaut actually has a pretty cool power set, especially if you take into account the powers he has, but doesn't use. Like the energy orbs, the enhanced speed, the walking on air, punching through dimensions, all the powers that kid got when he found the gem. Like shooting concussive beams of force, animating objects, and sending communications across the world. Plus if he could punch through dimensions like Trion, then he could effectively teleport as well.

juggernaut lost all those extra magical powers of his.

I'd pick the GL ring assuming:

1- I can bring a Battery to recharge the ring

2- I still have access to the information in the Central Battery.

Can you imagine the patents you could pull out from guardian tech?

Plus having a supercomputer the size of a ring would definately allow you to play half life 2 at max settings.

Nope, he didn't lose them, they were just one of those obscure abilities he used one time, then never used them again.

Thor. I alway's wanted to call down thunder from the heavens!

besides fighting crime and all that symptomatic stuff, guys like GL and surfer are the best cause after you save the day, you have to keep the world happy to ensure they stay peaceful.

a green lantern ring and surfer could create safe energy sources for third world countries and help terraform landscapes too arid to sustain their populations. those two could solve the worlds major problems, not just beat up meta humans every other day.

Thor, definitely.

I think he's probably the most overall terrifyingly powerful hero there is, and certainly the most majestic. He's shown capable of killing basically anyone, can at least damage the Celestials and Galactus, and has shown the capacity to resurrect himself. With Odinforce, he's decapitated the Destroyer, rebuilt the moon, rebuilt Asgard, and done countless other amazing things.

And overall, I think Thor fills the "hero" role better than anyone else. He's bold, strong as all Hell, powerful, the ladies like him, he's justifiably arrogant, and yet he looks after the little guy and has a well balanced set of morals, codes, and principles. And he's skilled as all f*ck.

If I had Thor's power... I would destroy you. Yes, you.

*Looks around* Me? What did I do? 😕

Flash or Thor
