So you are going to run in and rob everyone blind enron style and expect it not to affect the remaining governments?
And I didn't say I'd patent anything. I said with my tech I wouldn't have to worry about anything... Noone can touch me and really I can turn the world into a giant socialism...
Nah, I believe you've misinterpreted my posts. OP explicitly states we have Superman's powers in our real world. In our society someone like Superman would be considered a threat to national security in practically every nation simply because of what he's capable of, and just about every military power would have multiple divisions dedicated to containing and eliminating Superman if the need arose, or if they simply wished to remove a possible/perceived threat to their power. If I had his powers I'd try to keep a relatively low profile. Robbing banks overseas at light speed (which would leave practically no evidence) is based on the fact that one of Superman's powers isn't being super wealthy and there are still material goods and a level of comfort I would want in life. Stealing pieces of essentially worthless paper doesn't actually hurt anyone. Money only has the value people associate with it. It's not intrinsic. The fact that people can't collectively move beyond this economic model is the issue.
Also, in our world, propaganda and social conditioning are more powerful than Superman. Providing technological innovations that will advance the populace will only do so much. Real change will only come about when the people, collectively, choose to change things. Sadly, People still choose to carry a yolk because that's all they know. I'd offer an alternative, but it still comes down to their choice.

Once you find away to immunize yourself to red solar radiation, you have nothing to fear. The military forces of the world couldn't do shit to you.
After I solved the red solar radiation problem, I'd go on a massive killing spree. I'd start with Starscream.
