Not long ago at work a had discussion with someone over that. the whole paper shit would bust your cover in no long time (15-30 years) if you go for another ID card because your current is outdated and other shit. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would call the cops, not necessarily because they think you're immortal simply because they think you're faking IDs and other shit.

Unless you decide to live in a 3rd world country time will bust your cover anyways.

He's got plenty of strength feats without it. His strength is from his feral nature, the Adamantium just lets him pull off stuff without breaking his bones in the process.

And because of its additional weight his muscles got stronger.

Why would people want to live a long and painful life instead of a short one filled with pleasure its beyond me 131

It doesn't really have to be painful.

This entirely depends on what kind of person someone is.

But you really don't have any guarantees, do you?

Although I choose healing factor I can certainly see the atraction abilities as being tempting. Here's why it's superior to Wayne's cash.

A multi billionaire has zero anonymity. You'd be getting harassed by boards, government officials, organizations asking for donations et al. With the powers of persuasion you could have billionaires on speed dial awaiting your every suggestion. You have everyone's ear, but at the same time you could remain in the shadows if you so choose. Get in the right ears, you pretty much run the world.

For some people a short life of nothing but hedonism is painful because it's ultimately vain.

That's why I added the smiley. Ultimately, you could do more amazing stuff with Starfox's ability imo, but if someone you managed to use the Healing Factor for medical proposes it could eventually be an interesting thing. Many implications would depend on how your powers actually work.

I'd just like to throw out that I had an "anti-negative public reaction" clause in mine. Having the appearance and physical abilities of a 29 year old while being the oldest human in history will put you under serious scrutiny and possibly endanger you.

....but the thread kinda gets pointless then. Wayne's money suddenly appearing in your account would set off all kinds of red flags too. Most would likely just go with Starfox's ability.

If it's under ideal circumstances though? Healing Factor. All day.

I'd take Starfox's powers. I don't want to live forever, and mo' money, mo' problems. But being able to smash any chick whenever I wished for the rest of my natural life regardless of my financial status or appearance, as well as basically emotionally con men and women into taking care of me? Sign me up. I'd be roommates with Dania Ramirez and Rosa Acosta by the end of the day, with Bill Gates bankrolling it because I'm his new bestfriend.

Logan Healing factor.

Not only would I be able to maintain my physical prime for what? 100 plus years. I can indulge myself with unprotected sex, and let my immune system beat any STD.

Your overconfidence amuses me.

Let the hunt begin.

HF definately, mainly because of extended life span.

Money second.

I can stimulate pleasure pretty well without powers 😄

😂 😂 😂 👆

On topic, not sure id like to live that long. Other than that HF is the best choice. I could make a fortune betting rich idiots that i can survive a shot in the head. Money is second.

And I think with prior knowledge, a person could come up with a way to figure out how to survive without people realizing how old they are.

And yeah, Sam, you could make a mint in any number of ways. Fighting since your HF keeps you from getting ko'd by any human, and you're strong enough to knock out just about anybody.

Russian Roulette.

Anything dangerous really.

You'd just have to get used to the pain.

SamZED Senior Member

Now that you mentioned it Pro fighting is the best choice. Way better than blowing your brains out for money and less unwanted attention.

KingD19 Shai-Gen's Enigmatic Wong

Lol. This guy has been shot in the face about 17 times. Why is he still walking around?

But yeah, boxing or MMA would get you big bucks. And with your powers, you wouldn't even need to get in shape.

SamZED Senior Member

Only problem.. Imagine youre fighting say Mayweather... Good luck dropping him before the final bell. No point trying to win by referee decision and people might notice your cuts are healing in midfight..
