Pick a Power: Survive the Jungle Edition
You're thrown into a wild South American jungle. There are no humans, and a mystical barrier 25 miles outside the center of the jungle, so you can't leave.
You have to survive for one year....meaning you have to fend off dangerous animals (this jungle has lions and hyenas), survive the elements, and provide food.
Which power do you pick and why?:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gambit's kinetic charge ability (limited to 3 charges per day) and adamantium staff
Spider-Man's leaping ability and 12 web cartridges
Wolverine's senses and an adamantium sword
Captain America's strength and his Shield
Bullseye's aim and a pair of admantium daggers

Bullseye's aim and the daggers. I'd have all I' realistically need to defend myself and feed myself too (Anaconda kebabs???).
the rest would quickly become useless, imo.

Why not give him his regular shield?

guys, think big picture...its not just fending off against deadly creatures
its also about hunting food, making fire, making shelter, etc...dealing with night time darkness and weather mayhem

you really wouldn't need to be. his aim plus some daggers is going to do more than keep any decently fit human being alive for a year...

And that is all something that comes by the man and his knowledge of the wilderness. Bullseyes powers give me the one thing I'd lack with no resources: the ability to use anything as a weapon to kill animals for food. The rest is up to me. Building a shelter, making a fire, etc etc are not something the other powers will help with anyway.

gambit can make a fire...by causing an explosion near dry wood

and there are still trees, thereby eliminating that danger.

1) fire scares animals
2) how would trees eliminate that danger? if you have bullseyes aim, you still will have tough time climbing trees...esp in an emergency

Bullseye's aim would buy me dinner every night. just throw a freshly carved (with the daggers) dart up at a nearby toucan (Toucan pie ) or throw a sharp-edged rock at a charging boar ... meat on tap.
the only problem would be sleeping amidst the infinite army of poisonous creatures, but then none of the other powers are of any use there either (unless you have Wolverine's stamina + hf).
the best Bullseye can achieve on this front, imo, would be to kill off the bigger predators (snakes, big cats, boars, reptiles) and construct some sort of raised platform in the tree-tops to avoid much of the ground slithering and crawling harbingers of death.

i can build a fire without gambit's powers.
by using the daggers as picks.
with bullseye's powers, i can take care of food, warmth and predators at the same time. throwing explosive branches is pretty much useless to me.
