Which pill do you choose?

Is there anyone in the real world that is comic book level intelligent? Lex Luthor made a time machine out out of a can, string, a light bulb, and some Sunny D. Real World applications that shit isn't going to fly which is why I made a distinction between my real world choices and my comic book choices. In our world, regardless of how smart you might be, there are going to be issues with resources and access. You can't learn all of the real world's sciences and make a Cosmic Cube out of a Samsung Galaxy S4.

I still stand by my choice of grey (technopath)

If I want power: send earth back to the dark ages the world would be at my command if I chose who got energy and who doesn't (if you've read articles on what would happen if earth lost its power sources this makes sense)

If I want money: hit up a casino and rake in massive amounts on the machines. Or "rig" the lottery.

If I want fame: simply expose my powers as the first superhuman.

I don't think it would happen to me. I'm a natural pragmatist and patient.

But you could unquestionably make scientific advancements that aren't possible right now because there is so much that even the most intelligent minds in the world today still don't know.

You're saving kittens in trees and kids from getting hit by cars, I'm creating clean, free energy and curing down's syndrome.

Blue

Orange would be second

I'd go dance around in the sun while my clothes get burned off

You're smashing models and investing your money, I'm creating clean, free energy and curing down's syndrome that you'll profit from by investing in the firms that manufacture my advances, seeing it happen before it occurs.

Fixed.

And I'll be dancing on Marwash's face as he's dreaming about his advancements

Edit: good luck even finding me. Earth is so dependant on tech we wouldnt know what to do without it.

so you want to be a super villain?

No ... but I'm just saying it would certainly be possible.

just read Grey again.

are you assuming it gives you that ability on a mass scale? It's doesn't read that way.

I would teleport in and throw sun matter at you

You could make advancements in any field because you can draw from an unlimited amount of knowledge. Sometimes an advancement from one field simply needs knowledge from another - but no one knows or realizes that until someone has the idea of putting those two things together. Synergistic knowledge all in one individual.

I see the case for both options, I just see precog being a power that would lead to Dreamy (LoSH) like symptoms where sometimes you don't know if you are in reality or in your head + going through all the various futures finding the right course of action would, IMO, lead you to be like the alien from MIB 3.

Yellow and read the mind of whoever made the rest of the pills.

Even with the yellow world domination is at hand but still vulnerable

This is why I added the stipulation of choosing black only on the condition that it's an "at will" power. Not something that I didn't have precise control of. Grey has lot's of potential. As does orange.

And let's not even get into a discussion of causation, where everything I decide to change in my relative/immediate future causes all kinds of complex alterations which I would then have to counter ad nauseum. That would be a phucking nightmare.

It'll also be a trip when you inevitably see the day of your death.
