If you woke up one day and you had all of Superman's powers, how would you use them? I would use them for fame and fortune. I'd love to fight crime but that wouldn't be legal. As soon as I strike a criminal I void any court case against them. Plus I doubt I could pull my punches enough not to seriously injure them. I'd also visit all the places on Earth that I've wanted to go. The USA, the north pole, Mongolia and the Baltic countries. I'd probably try to lend a hand with natural disasters too. |

Which Superman ? Anyways I'd probably rule over the world. I think even the weakest version of Superman could rule the earth with an iron fist. |

The weakest Superman is barely faster than a car. I wouldn't do nothing since that'll make me a target. I'll just live life |

I'd find some way to make money from it so I didn't have to work. Then I'd just try and find inconspicuous ways to help the world so I could do good without drawing the eyes of government officials. |

Assuming I did have his powers, I don't see why I wouldn't use it to help out whenever I can. Most of the reason people don't help others in dangerous situations is because of fear, without that fear, well. It becomes a hell of a lot easier lol. |

Depending on how powerful I was I'd take over the world. Or at least kind of police it in a way, I wouldn't want the responsibility or the attention associated with being King of Everything but like if people were starting wars and s*** I'd swoop in and destroy all their weapons and either kill both sides or just the most volatile one. Like I wouldn't want to be sitting on a throne being fed grapes by hot women all day but I'd still command how the world functions. Well, maybe the hot women bit. And then after war becomes futile I'd make world leaders make peace among themselves when issues arise. I'd like to be heroic but it wouldn't exactly be challenging, real life is pretty dull. Maybe I'd get carried away with the hot women and my kids would have my powers and they'd try to overthrow their evil father but my God people would realize how much better it was when I was around. |

I would be Injustice Superman and install law and order across the globe. I'd start by making every nation give up their weapons while I destroy them. If they don't comply, I will eliminate that nation. I'd usher in a new era of peace under direct fear. |

I'd also help with scientific developments, like building stuff in space or phasing through matter to do stuff if I could. That'd be way cool. Maybe even ferry people to Mars if I was fast enough. Odd how superheroes don't get involved in that kind of stuff more, unless a villain is doing stuff and it becomes necessary. |

It usually tends to be that if they do, a government is more likely to try and use them for anything other than war purposes. And they usually employ some super intelligent people or other super powerful people to attempt to do such and such. |

At least if I was Superman, the government could do nothing to force me to fight their wars for them. Having said that, I'd quite happily help out with North Korea. |

I mean, let's be serious for a moment. Would we really want to rule the world, when most government could find one of your weaknesses and exploit it ? Most of us would just use it to enhance our daily lives; "Oh, I have to be in this place in 1 hour? Nah, I could reach it within few minutes", or you could be a famous stunt actor if you want to be popular. You can't really say install order across the world, millions, possibly billions of people tried that to no avail. Sure we're getting somewhere, but 1 superhuman can't succeed in what millions of regular people failed to do. |

I'm human, I likely wouldn't use it for good. Most of us would fall corrupted by the immense power within us, only a sellect few would use it for good. Now, assuming we're not overwhelmed with too much power and learn to control it rather well (something that needed to be said in this thread but I don't see anyone mentioning it), a good enough dude could use it to help others whenever he needs, but not as much as Superman himself who puts his job as a hero above all else. If that were me, my job would come first. Our ideologies would get in the way, and we'd use our powers to do stuff we couldn't before. We hold a power nothing on this Earth can rival, who's there to say no to our actions? Of course, the weaker Supermen could be killed or weakened by manmade weapons but I imagine Pelador meant your standard Superman akin to how he is now. ![]()
Actually, they do, but not in the movies. Like, Reed Richards in the movies is pretty goddamn worthless. In the comics science wouldn't have advanced so far in such little time if it wasn't for him. Same goes for the many other brilliant people behind him.
Those used by the government tend to be villains. A recent example would be the russian team 'The Annihilation Brigade' ![]()
That's assuming there's somehow kryptonite in the world. Speaking of, just HOW would they figure out it's our weakness? It emits radiation, any scientist would figure it out just by looking at it and analyzing it, they'd try to contain it or get rid of it. Its effects would weaken us if unprepared, but many questions pop up in this moment. Are we aware whose powers we have? More than likely. Would we not recognize kryptonite as being our weakness unlike Superman when he first came across it? Another thing you need to understand is that no one in our time has the technology, as far as we're aware, to use kryptonite against us in an offensive way. They could somehow turn it into kryptonite dust and put it in a nuke or something, but that would be too damn risky. Putting it in a tank and use it as a shell? We're gonna stop that projectile rather easily. The only Superman who was wuss enough to fall over like a little b*** whenever kryptonite was around was the DCAU one, the others took it and resisted it rather well, feeling mildly unconvenienced and at most getting headaches. VERY few times have I seen him getting killed by it, and it's either through short or prolonged exposures depending on the chunk. But yeah, no actual Superman weaknesses in our world, sooo... We're free to go!
You forget this is bleeping Superman, right? He's fairly above the likes of any dictator from the past few centuries. |

Yeah the genius ones sure but you don't often see others taking part like that right? Like do they ever get the Flash to help make buildings since he's super fast about it or phase through people to perform medical procedures? I know he can do that and probably does but I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually visit hospitals to specifically do that. I wouldn't care much for using my powers to enhance my daily life because it would just become worthless anyway, why would I bother going to work when I can do so much more now? I do feel like it'd get super boring after a while though, maybe it'd be fun to have people build giant robots and try to challenge you. Otherwise it'd be like being One Punch Man. As for being attacked I doubt much would happen there since real people aren't subject to plot induced stupidity. In reality someone with super speed seeing a nuke flying at them wouldn't just be like "What the-!?" and get hit they'd fly away, unless they were slow as heck. Railguns are basically the only realistic threat, again dependent on how strong you are. |

The stronger ones do help with all the heavy lifting, but they're rarely needed, plus their duties lie in very specific sectors. You can't expect The Thing to go around helping construction sites, he already does that at the Baxter building. He rarely goes outside unless he wants to play cards, gamble or visit his old childhood street.
He's helped people repair buildings in a flash (heh) and takes on some supervillains that are too fast for others to deal with. We all know supervillains are everywhere, and superheroes are there to take them down. In a world without supervillains, sure, Flash would have more time to do that sort of thing, helping regular people. Plenty of other heroes have gone to hospitals to help people though, inspiring them or keeping them strong. I'm sure any of us would do the same, if we wanted.
We have Superman's powers, a railgun ain't gonna scratch us

I'd frankly abuse my power in the name of good, even if that means having to become a symbol of evil to do so. It would be similar to Kira from Death Note, where so much fear and pressure is put on the people that they don't want to screw up. Of course fear alone isn't enough to change anything so I want to make sure to enact other plans to progress the world. It's basically the same thing Rockman said. I'd be the guy to go to North Korea and say... "Listen, let me help you with your country and your people and actually make it a reasonable place. But the only real "god" here is me and if you don't start treating your country and people with respect, I'm going to handle it and fry your dictator brains with my heat vision." Or I'd go to Gun Control and say. "Hey! Let's see if we can get a compromise where we can have proper regulation and control without having to completely take your rights away. You get to keep some of your guns while simultaneously making for safer protocol...and if that's not good enough for you, I will melt all your guns and shove the 2nd Amendment up your a***." I'd want to be a fair god, but this is not a democracy. In the words of Judge Dredd. "I am the law." |
