Pick your Power! Race edition

You and 4 friends of equal skills/knowledge/abilities are dropped in the middle of a HUGE jungle (about the size of Texas of pure jungle) and given NO Survival gear or any kind of rations/water. You are then required to find your way out of the jungle by any means necessary. The first one out gets to live and the last 3 die horrible, painful deaths.

To assist you in this race, you will be given the specific powers that you're allowed to use in whatever way you wish to get out. You are made to select one out of 4 different powers and the powers you don't select are given to your 3 other friends.

As luck would have it, you get to choose first.

Choices:

Spider-Powers (web, spider strength/endurance, spider sense, spider agility, slight healing factor).

Wolverine Powers (adamantium claws, feral senses, healing factor, increased stats).

Toad Powers (leaping, toad tongue, toad food menu, toad strength/agility/endurance)

Colossus Powers (Metal Body, Super Strength)

You keep your existing skills/abilities/knowledge and you are simply given the time you have in the jungle to familiarize yourself with your power.

Definitly not toad.

I'd go with Logan. If any of the other people tried to attack me I could take them down and i'd be good at hunting.

if its a race spidey. he can cover crazy long distance on jumps and can web up toad and logan. colossus to slow in a straight race.

Collossus.

Im invincible and self sustaining. I give the jungle the finger.

i guess colossus..

i he could just toss me out of the jungle and being organic metal i be fine we get out 1st..

logically if he possessed the 100 ton strength we should be able to leap vast distances as well..

You don't have him with you. You get his powers but not his skills/knowledge.

You're allowed to hinder/stop your fellow racers to win. Spidey can slow em down thru webbing, harrassing them when they're hunting, etc.

Jungle has giant redwoods all over the place and a 200 foot high canopy.

Yeah, Colossus. Just pick a direction and run in it. Nothing's going to be able to harm you.

Don't forget that you can get lost just as easily in a jungle. This is a VAST jungle. Getting lost is easily a problem here. Plus your fellow racers can try and hinder/slow you down.

Colossus.

I'd simply jump out.

Well, there best bet would be to follow the Colossus person's lead. A near invulnerable CL100 with near limitless stamina when not exerting himself in combat with a superior being versus a jungle? I mean, come on. You could just pull a Juggernaut and bulldoze your way out. Falling off cliffs and what not would have no effect. The main issue would be the character with Spiderman's powers webbing you up to be a dick (no homo).

Except that without some sort of directional sense or compass, u stand a good chance of making a wrong turn (believe it or not, walking straight usually ends up in you walking in circles due to leg preference, etc.) and ending up getting lost. 🙂

Not saying it'll happen. But it's a possibility.

Jumping out is a risk, too. Landing is always chaotic and you might end up losing your heading with each landing.

Also, if I chose Spider powers, I'd actually try and hinder him by webbing him in the eye at long range every chance i get.

I'd still pick logan. I can just cut everyone else up.

wolverine. best hunter, you get food. the end

The thing about Colossus though is that despite no healing factor, his stamina is basically unlimited, and he doesn't need food, sleep, or water. And while you might usually walk in circles, this is circumvented by the literal path of destruction someone like him would leave in his wake. You leave a path of fallen trees behind you, it's pretty easy to realize you're still going in a straight line. A guy running 8-12mph at a dead run, nonstop for days on end will get out first. He'll even leave a nifty trail for the others to follow.

I'm choosing the tin man.

Spidey.

that was easy.

So when Spidey exhausts his webs after swinging for so long, and has to eat, and find water, and sleep, and rest.

While Colossus and Wolverine are still going.....is it still easy?

Besides his powers, Spidey's a normal guy, and still needs food, water, and sleep on a normal basis.
