Originally posted by Blair Windpotential powersets are often better for run of the mill mutants if we're restrained to being human. I posted before Franklin Richards and Clyde Wyncham from Marquis of Death are both technically mutants and as such potential powers that I could gamble on having. Given the chances are almost nil for a broken set but one can dream can't they?
Why would you guys want to live in Marvel? Just curious is all. To me there seems to be more hate towards supers in Marvel - I mean that is the whole thing against mutants right?
Originally posted by Q99that's not the question. The OP asked which universe would you get powers faster; the events you brought up are isolated incidents that aren't likely to occur on a daily basis. Having a latent metahuman gene doesn't equate to having powers until the gene is activated...
That's just GLs, most supers aren't like GLs.Random metahumans are very common, as well as plenty of item/accident/etc. type supers.
Ever read the Invasion story arc? The Dominators activated the powers of many people (so many that Monel took them to colonize other worlds, and they became the source of the 'humans with powers' types that are so common in the Legion of Superheroes futurue). Or Bloodlines, where the attacks from the Bloodline alien triggered dozens for the same reason. Large number of people have a latent metagene.
And in 52, Luthor learned how to purposefully activate the metagene in the Everyman Project (with side-effects, but still).
Most people with powers aren't aliens, the metagene is by far the most common source.
And yes, most of the relevant heroes/villains that have powers in DC, are aliens.

Hatred dosen't bother me I get that in the real world. If I had powers the hatred would bother me even less. (even though in the real world there is hate laws for minorities. I don't believe the MU has hate laws to protect mutants so that is something to think about).
Besides DC has the OMAC project I believe?
To me the marvel Universe is the real world. I can imagine Spiderman, Thor, Ben Grimm. DC characters have never seemed like anything more than characters in a story to me.
I can move to New York City. I can never move to Metropolis, Gotham, Fawcett City, Bludhaven, Coast City etc
EDIT: I would rather not have powers and live in Marvel than to have powers and live in the DC Universe

I asked my question in reference to people stating they would rather go to Marvel because its Marvel

Marvel has more powers in a bottle IMO. SSS, Sentry formula, Radioactive spiders walking around, Terrigan Mists, cosmic radiation, beings capable of bestowing powers i.e. galactus/Odin/other higher being.
SSS would not work, nor sentry formula, terrigan mist would make you go mad, and might turn you into a freak.

If I did have super powers in the marvel universe and they were good super powers I would go after Sabertooth. I would punt that child women murdering cocky ass punk into outerspace.EDIT: I would also kick mister Hydes ass.

sabre-tooth dead, but I would not go after him if he was alive. Have you see some of the shit he done?
Yes that is why if I had class 10 or higher powers i would have to go after that scum.
I would have to be class 75 or higher to go after Mr. Hyde. That mofo is crazy
Not saying I would beat these guys but I would try.

Sabre-tooth is a lot more dangerous then Hyde.
I dont recommend going after Sabre-tooth with 10 ton strength, he would maul you.

In reality with 10 ton strength I would need additional powers like spiderman or reflexes like cap. Maybe some beams that shot out of my hands or eyes. I would need fighting skills.
You think Sabertooth is more dangerous than Hyde??? They are both pretty much mudering psychos. To me Hyde is scarier. Maybe becuase he is so big.
