You gain one of these abilities for 24hrs... What do you do?

Changing my vote.

Firestorm powers. Can transmute a bunch of platinum for myself, make a gold house to live in, remove all tumors and medical diseases from my body.

Firestorm's powers can't cure you, Todd.

Even if someone actually competent with them was wielding them, like Galan .

You are dying.

Can't he transmute a new body or something? 😱

Like Lex did with a clone body to fix his Green K cancer.

He likely could. Stilt just doesn't want him to, because he's a dick like that.

Then why he fights bank robbers in tights instead of curing terminal patients?

Todd is destined to die before one of us loses his patience and strangles him.

even local minds would be too much, I reckon. I can't even do more than 2 conversations at once, let alone 5 or 10 or 30 unfiltered thoughts all simultaneously.

Yeah, I also thought it was Xavier's current powers. Not his powers as they were when he was a child or something.

We've seen Charles's reaction when he's lost and regained his telepathy before. It's torture until he reigns the power in, and he's only able to do that due to decades of using it.

I'd be genuinely surprised if people made it out of their bedroom in 24 hours honestly. I reckon you'd get 30 seconds in and start hoping for death.

We both know the answer to that: For the same reason most superheroes that can solve all the world's ills don't.

Or maybe he just sucks and earns his living from OnlyFans, which Galan subscribes to.

This is you as you are in the real world. You gain access to ONE of these abilities for 24hrs... Which do you choose and why? How would you use the selected ability?

1.) The speed of Quicksilver.
2.) The luck of Domino.
3.) The intelligence of Batman.
4.) The strength of Hulk.
5.) The TP of Xavier
6.) The Green Lantern ring of Hal Jordan.
7.) The technopathy of Hank Henshaw.
8.) The transmutational powers of Firestorm.

Stips:
*No time shenanigans or loopholes whatsoever. You have these abilities for 24 hours in real time and that's it.
*You don't have any prior knowledge of how to use the ability you've selected... You go into this 'dry' as it were, and have to learn as you go.

7 for me. I’d switch my bank account with Elon Musk’s, and legally take control of Tesla.

No. I don't want to imagine any of you ****ers having an onlyfans. No.

Much of TP power level comes down to learned control. I dont think Xavier is anymore powerful now than earlier he's just more adept in its use. My own thought process is quite weird with random thoughts often popping into my head out of nowhere (I don't have the most stable mind) so figured I'd be a little pre disposed to deal with it.

Bottom line I just see myself being able to deal with TP to only pick up on thoughts ablot quicker than any other choice. No way am I likely to be able to effectively use a GL ring, technopathy or firestorms transmutation in less than a week. The othersbjust sound boring

This will be beatboks 13 seconds after the telepathy activates.

😆 😆 😆

The middle page panel is pretty much me now without TP. That's why I figured it would be the easiest one for me to adapt to (not much of a change from my normal state of a 1000 or so random unconnected thoughts every minute). I mean while I've been typing to the sentence before this one I've had thoughts about 5 ps games, two of my kids sports and, my sister, a few work friends, my home loan and the recently risen interest rate and 8 things I didn't get done at work a renovation were starting soon and 5 projects I have around the home(all intermixed)

Where as if I had
Quicksilver speed wouldn't do me much good when I have no cartridges in both knees and just walking is painful.

Firestorm transmutation would require knowledge I've not been up on for over 40 years since I did high school science

Technopathy would require knowledge outside my areas of expertise to even use effectively

Batman intelligence without his wealth and resources would be pretty useless

What the hell would I want with Hulk strength?

No other power choice is even usable for me within 2 weeks to a month. At least TP I have a chance of getting something useful from in the time frame

Firestorms ability to transmute rocks into gold...or even better, rhodium. A ton of rhodium is worth $58 billion in today's market.

Don’t you have to know the chemical composition of what your transmuting for Firestorm’s power to work?

You can easily look that up.

Rhodium is an element like carbon or oxygen. Probably the easiest thing to do with matter manipulation.

Also depends on the Firestorm.

Jason could also create complex machines, for example.

But with technopathy, you could manipulate commodity prices so that something as simple as coal or oil is as expensive/cheap as you want. Then just trade without actually needing to handle the physical item.

There's no way you'll have control, even minimal with Xavier level TP. You can't be serious.

Sounds like your mind is the exact opposite of mine. I'll get fixated on one thought, and nothing will shake me from it.
