If you were Superman/Supergirl

    If you suddenly gained all of the powers of Superman or Supergirl, what would be the first thing you would do?

    I think it's fair to say that everybody would have a bit of fun first where they fly around the place, time travel and punch mountains back into the ground but after this what would be your next step?

    Would you try to do good or evil or nothing?

    I would tell nobody and try to live my life as it is now. **** the world. I'm selfish.
    I'd use my new super powers discreetly and try to have nobody find out but if they eventually did, I'd try to 'save' the world. I'd bitch and moan about it all day, every day though.
    And if anybody complained about my performance, I would give them the sorest possible dead arm without doing permanent damage, the pricks.

    TL;DR - Superhero, Supervillain, Supersecret?

    Probably evil


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭Gulliver


    I'd probably try to stop all wars, go insane because people are d*cks by nature and find different ways to hurt/kill each other, kill a bunch of them because I figure they can't be redeemed and become the very thing I tried to stop in the first place.

    EDIT: 666th post..... NOT a good sign!

    Start a cult and use my superpowers to prove that God has blessed me. Then get my follows to make donations. Oh and build a throne made of bones and declare myself the Antipope.

    What do you mean 'after' all the flying around the place, time travel and mountain punching. There is no after, that would take up the entirety of existence. While flying around though I'd be a prick to base jumpers and laugh at them and their parachutes, cut the ropes, laugh at them falling to their death and then stop them dying. At least a couple of times. That and general flying stuff.

    That's exactly what I was going for with my answer...I was day dreaming and I came up with the same idea as a Hollywood blockbuster (Dunno how well it done but surely it was a success? Looks awesome!!). If I actually apply myself to making movies, then who knows.

    Actually starts off good but gets very crap very quick....In my opinion.

    I would probably be like Superman in Superman 3 when he is in the bar flicking peanuts breaking the bottles getting all angry with people, that's the proper thing to do i reckon.

    I'd wear my underwear correctly.

    **** it. Wear it on the outside.

    1) no-one will **** with you after the first time you use your super hearing to hear someone snickering and then kick their ass.

    2) no-one will recognise you when you take-off your glasses. So you could walk around bollock naked if you wanted.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭TheUsual


    If you are Superman then surely the Spider would break it's teeth before it could bite you.

    Me, I wouldn't tell anyone and win all the boxing and UFC titles Worldwide.

    Nope. Hancock is a greek God whos superpower was a preexisting condition so to speak. He just turned into a slob and couldn't be arsed any more.

    This Film is closer to the OP's question

    Everyone who looked at me cock eyed would be thrown to the sun!

    No seriously no matter how stong or fast you are it wont change the innate human nature to covet what others have, thus wars would always be fought.

    If anyone has seen watchmen the solkution to world problems is not to try and help each nation, its to give them a common cause to be worried about.
