If you gained the power of Superman in the real world

But yeah, assuming it's not some watered down version, I'd go space-exploring. Full on Star Trek.

I'd probably be a pretty alright dude. Superman-esque with a much shorter temper maybe.

My issue is that that it'd be great for a while, but eventually you'd have to make a choice: Do you start righting the wrongs of the world? Because many would argue that not doing it would be morally wrong, especially given the level of power you'd possess. Or do you start going in to places like North Korea or Russia or large swathes of Africa or the Middle East? Even if you start off with good intentions, it would be VERY easy to become the kind of dictator you were trying to combat.

Then? Who knows.

Why would you steal money? With those powers, you could easily find diamonds, gold or treasures lost at sea.

I'd probably steer clear of politics and simply stick with basic necessities such as food, security, assistance during disasters, fighting diseases (I'd guess super intelligence would come with the six pack), destroying cartels and human trafficking etc. I'd be more of an immediate fix to problems, and a failsafe.

I would end wars and disarm all countries from nukes just to demonstrate how much above everyone else I am, though.

I am perfect (perfectly imperfect that is) which means I would live my life being
a human as i am now do some good, make some mistakes, ect. Other than that I would like to explore space and if possible go back in time.

I'd start wars tbh.

I’d annihilate all of you including earth and hopefully find life on another planet and do the same.

I'd paint my skin green, wear purple pants, and go smash things.

I'd use my super-intelligence to develop a serum which turns people into Hulk, then I'd give it to carver, and proceed to play soccer with his head every day just by using my left leg and super-breath.

Why? Nothing in reality would ever truly sastify you. Why buy a Lambo, when your top walking speeds demolish its best top speed? Superman in a real life setting would be insane.

I'd find a power company start-up and work for them. Run on a treadmill for 8 hours a day to provide power to a massive part of the country along with charging batteries for my off hours. Something low-key. At some point I would take a day or two off to go help our boys in any conflict.

Some people would call nuclear disarmament a kind of tyranny. Not me, mind you, but still.

I'm not saying I'd be much better, mind you. The temptation to beat up some bad guys would be very, very strong.

Morals are for the weak.

What would you do? No Kryptonite and only real world Science? What would you be?

Hero
Villian
God
Dictator
Mass Rapist and Muderer, how deranged would it get? You stay you inside mentally.

Extra points for a story, plan or narrative!

Real world science?

I'd probably burn my eyes out or something. No idea how real world science would work with those powers.

by real world science I mean the pens, everyone else. No plot devices available to be used against you here.

Ah.

In that case, see the end of Alan Moore's Miracleman/Marvel Man.

Basically, the main character creates a utopia on Earth, against the will of the population.

Hunger, disease, scarcity are all solved. People are even given the option of immortal super powered bodies, and can commune with the dead, which reinforces certain religions.

It's awesome.
