Which herald would you call upon in the following situations?

1) Clean up massive oil spill near coastal areas - Surfer

2) Put out huge forest fire in California - Thor or Surfer

3) Rescue 100 hostages held by trained armed militia in South America (must minimize casualties) - Wally

4) Stop 10 nuclear warheads that have been launched simultaneously (ensure) minimal radiation fallout - GL or Surfer

5) Find the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden - sUPERMAN OR sURFER

6) Discover cures for AIDS and Cancer - None

7) Bring a rock sample from Pluto as fast as possible - Thor

8) Relocate 1 million people from one location to another location 100 miles away - Thor

9) Broker world peace through strictly diplomacy (no powers allowed) - Superman

10) Rebuild Tokyo after a devastating earthquake - Surfer

Really, you don't think any of these can find a cure for AIDs, even though I showed scans of Surfer spontaneously manifestings cures for diseases before?

Except for #9. 😎

I bet he could cure any disease instantaneously but that's another thing than providing a drug for this

Surfer all the way.

He created a universal antibody in another scan I showed.

well I was thinking he could reverse cancer or whatever but to create a serum or something that can be used for mass production lets say I don't know

He'd still be the best choice. Analyzes the virus with CA and synthtizes a molecule that acts as the best anti-retroviral drug ever. Or he makes everybody naturally immune to it. Cancer could be handled in similar lines, SS doesn't even need to really know what he's doing for the power cosmic to do what he wants it to.

And he's given people superpowers too, so eliminating the potential for the mutation that gives cancer cells immortality should be easy.

understood and I have no objection...but doing something because you have powers over matter and energy is different than finding a scientific treatment

6) Green Lantern (Info stored in the ring)

That's the beauty of the SS, he doesnt even need to know what the hell he is doing half the time.

which will be a solution but not a cure IMO

Surfer was a leading scientist on Zenn La, so intellect-wise, he should be able to understand what the Cosmic Awareness tells him would cure cancer.

List of heralds to choose from:

Silver Surfer
Superman
Thor
Green Lantern (Hal)
Nate Grey (Shaman)
Flash (Wally)

4) Stop 10 nuclear warheads that have been launched simultaneously (ensure) minimal radiation fallout - Surfer/Hal/Nate

5) Find the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden - Surfer/Nate

6) Discover cures for AIDS and Cancer - Surfer/Hal/Supes

7) Bring a rock sample from Pluto as fast as possible - Surfer/Supes

8) Relocate 1 million people from one location to another location 100 miles away - Thor/Surfer/Hal

9) Broker world peace through strictly diplomacy (no powers allowed) - Supes

Actually i'm thinking him for #9 as well... he is would motivate me a lot more than Superman I think, he always seeks peaceful solutions.

Originally posted by King Kandy
When was he said to be a leading scientist? I got no impression of that from seeing any of the scenes of him living there.

I remember his obsession (Too far?) with space and beyond being highlighted.

Never happened.

Okay. Sure.

👆 Old school...

Yes, I get it. Your old school but even if you went by only by Stan's take on the character, Thor would still be able to create storms etc. without having to tap the hammer on the ground.

Already? Well... I guess I'll accept it.

Post editing? You can do better.

That I can.

However, I believed it to be a mistake on your part as there was nothing for me to concede. Additionally, I had just finished reading your previous sentences where you flat out acknowledged, elaborated and justified the idea and logic behind my comment. It was almost as if you, yourself, were replying in my stead to yourself agreeing that further mention of said subject was all but meaningless.

Now, after reading this my hand touched my face. I remember it vividly, as it was only yesterday. That, and my left hand was quite cool from the opened can of Dr. Pepper soda I had grasped just moments before. My hand remained upon my face for either three or four seconds. Now, of which is truer I can not say, and I will not argue against myself such as you had done.

So, to make a long story short -- after I had just made it long, I corrected your mistake and accepted your concession and was on my way to emptying a can filled with the wonderful Dr. Pepper beverage. I must add however, I was mildly disappointing in the speed in which your concession was delivered, but no matter what's done is done.

Good day.
