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

hmm i forgot about immortality. id have to pick thor then.

Thor is not immortal but long lived. He refers to humans as mortals because he is a dumbass. Olympians are truly immortal.

If I can use GL's ring to alter my dna to be kryptonian then I chose GL.
But if not then I chose Superman. With Superman I will sundip for years and come out immortal with no weaknesses.

Straight from wikipedia no doubt.

im sure if he did he wouldnt have used the word Dumb@$$. dont think wiki would post it. 😉

Well however they live, ragnarok ensures they repeat their damn lives over and over

If you're just getting their powers/experience, you wouldn't necessarily have to fight in Ragnarok, nor would you be King or Prince of Asgard or have free access to the golden apples that keep the Asgard folk youthful.

Superman

Thor

Juggernaut

Flash

Apocalypse

Green Lantern

thor

Apocalypse. When I take over a host I can say. " come on baby. It's for the good of the world."

Nope thor took care of that no more ragnarok.

Well yah current versions only live "once" now. Though I doubt a pesky thing like death will keep an asgardian truly down for long.

No. From comics. The Norse Gods depends on the golden apples of Iduns to not age. As proof look at how old Odin looks. Surely he ages but slowly.

Apocalypse.
I mean, i can just convert a hundred or so of random dudes in my Horseman, and then just sit at home chilling. And in case of major threat, prepare tech solutions based on data abtained while said threat is massacring horsemen.
Also, immortality sure helps.

Apocalypse as well. With all his knowledge, tech and every single power he has ever displayed over the years, he'd be nigh unstoppable without pis and cis.

Of course only if you can infinitely recharge it.

Squirrel agility and Galactus is my b!tch.

A lantern ring would cover that too imo.

And that's its main limitation right there. If they had limitless power supply they could steamroll almost anyone.

But more than that, I think poccy's knowledge base and tech could go a longer way than a ring and average expertise in its use.

The power and tech to remake others and give them superpowers is already massive in itself. Why does the moron stay bound to a christian myth making 4 horsemen instead of an army of thousands? Why doesn't he take more powerfull beings as prime matter to begin with? With his powerset and a different moral compass and mentality I'd recruit likeminded individuals from all over the world and make a horde to defend it (as a I see fit). Plus, he has spaceships, some timetravelling tech and is immortal.

And that is why my pick is apocalypse

Thor. Mjolnir might not be as open ended as a GL ring, but damn, it's already bordering on plot device as a weapon. It's a well rounded power/skill set, with the ability to deal with virtually any threat in your weight class and with no glaring weaknesses, either.

Apocalypse.

Flash....his powerset makes him hard to beat unless it's some planet stomping threat. Besies his powers are freakin kool, although you'd have to learn to be patient.
