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

TBH,the most I worry about these world-changing things is there are so many factors you need to consider.

International relations, social structure, resource allocation etc. You can't make the world better by just simply doing one or two things. It maybe produces an opposite result actually.

I think the more moral way to use these abities is choosing Domino's luck power and making money. Then use said money to help your family, close friends etc

You sell part of it for a couple millions, and then you buy a secure storage for it and a few mines in the third world, and suddenly there's an excuse for why you're sitting on resources worth more than most countries.

You're not reallocating assets, you're creating it. Of course, storing a couple of hundred tons of precious metals can be a bit of a hassel, but you start of by stacking your basement with a strong foundation.

I was talking about something like stopping Russia or changing atmoshpere things. It will be great if you can handle it properly.

But there are many things to be considered and once you make some mistake. There is a good chance you will phuck the entire world up

Then I simply have to drive back and forth collecting about a ton at a time, put it in the basement. Sure it will take a few hundred trips, and it might take more than a day, but it's not like I'd have to worry about going back to work the next day.

Alternatively, if you're worried about the logistics, you just put on the water in the bath dub and you transmute the water. A bathtub full of water is about half a ton, and takes about 5 minutes to fill. That's 6 tons an hour, or 144 tons in 24 hours.

Drive out to the woods where no one goes. Transmute a small hill into precious metal bars. Done! That's all that I needed the powers for.

5) TP like Xavier so I can force people to come on this board and debate. Oh, and I'd make carver say "Hulk is weak!" dev

She's actually stated her true love might just be money.

So unless she's in the room where the lotto is drawn I don't see that helping much.

Your winnings as such would only be in maximum of hundreds of thousands within free time frame. Even that is being VERY generous.

Here's an example. She went treasure hunting over the ocean and located a quarter million in gold doubloons just by touching the water. Stuff like this is just a casual day off for her.

If goal was to gain finances then luck would be safest option (play lotto).

Using transmutation to gain finances could work but will come with a lot of problems (investigation in how you obtained materials). Note: it would be easy to make elements than compounds. Rh can be easily made just by knowing how many protons it has in each atom.

Using technopathy would be similar (investigation on how you obtained wealth). So that's risky too.

Using TP to gain wealth is extremely safe only if you gain a small amount (less than a million). Otherwise you should use that power only for having sex with anyone you see or meet.

I would go for luck or TP Tbh
Leaning TP because I get sex also lol

In the hopes of talking h1 out of being a serial rapist, winning money with your luck will also make it much easier to get laid.

And, you know, you won't have to become a rapist.

(Not that you could anyway, since you'd be convulsing from having Xavier's telepathy with no defenses to stop the influx of thoughts and emotions.)

Someone had to come out and say they'd use TP for rape. That's not cool, learn consent or go to therapy 😬

Technically, h1 goes to therapy 24/7 - he is living in an asylum and is not permitted to leave - ever.

Your pussy is safe, Bentley.

Play the lottery and you could earn millions. There's ways to earn crazy money in 24 hours.

Her luckbwouldnt work on the lottery. It's not in her straight line vision so not within the field of effect of her luck. She can only alter the probability of things she sees directly in front of her within a range. Watching a lotto draw on TV still has it done outside her field of effect.

She could go to a race track and bet on horses she can watch run. Pick long odds horses and use her luck. In 24 hours thats not likely to even make you a million dollars. It's not like there are a heap of 1000's:1 horses (or dogs) at the track every day. She could play at a casino again inn24 hours she isn't likely to get a million unless she has a good starting stake. I used to gamble a lot, I knew professional gamblers. You can win a million inba day but you have to start off with a 100,000 (or a few). You need to have decent money to stake to win that much. It's going to take several hours to even get a decent stake from the money I'd have to start with. I might get enough to clear the mortgage and take the family to Europe but definitely not get wealthy.. even the idea I had about the stock market wouldn't work for Domino, the things she'd need to affect to make shares rise aren't in her field of effect.

Those whose field of effects are large enough to become wealthy (like Longshot) can't use luck for personal gain.

Domino doesn't require line of sight.

So to prove her luck isn't localised you show scans of it localised. I' mean the water she was touching was in her direct presence. The pearl was a short swim below her.

Also how does a scan of her talking about Doubloons reference her finding pearls in oysters?

Not to mention the last scan shows she lost the 1/4 mill, so luck not all that good.

In the comics Domino actively uses her luck to attain wealth yet she's not wealthy. Given she's had them for years this sort of proves you can't possibly get wealthy with them in hours or even days or months

We don't know that.

Plenty of street level heroes and villains stockpile ridiculous amounts of money.

It's possible she was just being cheeky by calling them doubloons. It's pretty clear that is what she's referring to in-comic though.

She lost it in a fight with robots that were impervious to all her weapons. She used her luck to save herself while the robots and ship were destroyed. Her power does have limits, but we won't be fighting robots in real life while gambling.

It's actually been hinted that Domino is wealthy, multiple times. She is an extraordinarily greedy, thrillseeking person though, and would still generally pursue money regardless.

---------------------------------------------------
I was going to bring up Domino "summoning" a meteor to support the lotto idea, but it really doesn't matter. Let's throw the lotto ticket out.

There's progressive jackpot slot machines like The Megabucks that have minimum jackpots of 10,000,000$. There's several of these types around, with people winning even 40 million at a time.

Considering her powers can do this to slot machines, it shouldn't be too hard to take home a pretty big sum over 24 hours.

In the beatboks-universe, truck drives you!

I'm still mystified why being unlucky in love (if applicable; she seemed to do ok with Colossus) is an issue with beatboks. It's only for 24 hours, why would that matter?

Right. You’re worried about the ensuing investigation if you use your powers for wealth, but not if you have sex with everybody in sight.

Not with everyone in sight. Just a select few beauties.
Obviously there will be no investigation in that.

I'll use my monetary winnings to ensure KMC gets shut down permanently.
