No because despite having these powers, you'd never know when something bad is about to happen
What about things like ongoing wars? Or when that cargo ship got stuck for days in the Suez canal?
well yeah duh i dont wanna be another lame homosexual 'evil' superman thats not cool anymore
Yeah, I would try atleast. but I would probably frick it up, doing some political and economical damage due to world being a complex system, not a black and white simple mechanism.
Also, all that absolute power corrupts is MOM I'M DAMAGED tier cringeposting.
Subtly and occasionally so as not to create dependencies or responsibilities
Same. Like, I'd probably desalinize a bunch of water and relocate it to places. I'd do a bunch of seed distribution and kill all the politicians.
homie, the Hyperclan were evil
I'd eliminate all modern technology outside of Europe; just wreck all the major power stations.
it's the only way to save the world.
I'd also salt the earth wherever you plant seeds because I know it would be third world shitholes that exist only to reproduce like bacteria and leech.
There is a Superman comic where he tries to help humanity by doing stuff like that and it doesn't go that well for him
No.
i'd rape fem*ales and elevate males
nope, salvation comes from within.
yeah I'd help them by crushing all political power into a single God king that make all decisions and those who dont like it simply die I'd be an all powerful count Vlad
The best way Superman could ‘help’ humanity would be to start a eugenics program by which millions of human women could give birth to his superhuman babies, but that would destroy the superhero conceit of an endless power fantasy where one being’s power and abilities eclipse all ordinary people in society he inhabits without substantially altering it in any way.
I'm writing a novel about a random guy getting superpowers and I theorize that if you decided to help out in such a situation, governments (especially ameriisraelite) would start taking advantage of you obviously and even blackmail and threaten your family and friends to keep you from going ballistic. A do gooder homosexual hero would be an insufferable leftist preachy homosexual nowadays or he'd be literal hitler, not much in between
then whats to stop me from vaporizing everyone who blackmails me.
Could i use my powers to cure cancer?
Yes but I'd ONLY help people I like.
If I had Superman's powers I would use them to learn the truth about history, religion, secret societies, occult shit... Basically everything that the top elites know about reality. Then I would either kill everyone who isn't white or just fly through the planet from one end to the other to destroy everything.
Woah
zased
Not a chance.
Only if I was fast enough to help every single person without fail. Otherwise the guilt is just too much. You have to engage in the trolley dilemma every hour.
Is working at your maximum limit not enough? You could still alleviate a tremendous amount of suffering by just tackling the bigger problems that couldn't be solved without your powers like geopolitical conflicts like Israel-Gaza and help weed out corruption in governments and the political sphere in general. You could force the rich into redistributing their wealth which you know they would otherwise never agree to. You could force society to actually divert focus and funds towards issues it couldn't be bothered to address otherwise like the homeless. You could do a LOT of good (that would be pretty much impossible without your powers) even if you might not be able to save every single soul.
indeed, helping them finish off gaza as quickly as possible, while also steamrolling the ukrainian puppet government would be the sensible thing to do
I had just the opposite in mind actually. I was aiming for acting like regular Superman you see, the one with morals and stuff. Unlike Homelander.
morals would be saving the world instead of making it worse.
the population of africa has been doubling every 20 years for the last century and will continue to do so for the next at least 80 years as projected by the UN.
not sure why you would want even more living there while you irrigate the whole continent and plant seeds.
you must have fallen for the "starving" meme. people who are starving don't go to 10x their population in a single century, that's a planet-killing locust swarm.
>let me help the israelite while also harming the israelites
Damn, too busy trying to be edgy instead of trying to make sense
>can only focus on israelites
think about the bigger picture
>bigger picture
Like even if you had powers, Israel has nukes pointed at all major civilizations and would nuke everything the moment you harm the hair on an immigrant black bipoc's head?
sounds like a mid-wing conspiracy fact.
It's not even much of a secret, look up the samson option
No, I'd slowly drive the world insane doing stuff I find funny at the moment like changing historical monuments from their places, destroying mountains, leaking nude photos of world leaders, etc. No mass genocide or anything just random shenanigans I come up with.
>what if random people were given supermans powers, and how would they manage their daily lives knowing everybody depended on them for help. would they finally understand what superman is going through?
youre stealing my shitpost, you homosexual frick
t RAD
depends on the power
https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Random
>https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Pestilence_Manipulation
I'd help humanity alright.
>https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Segmented_Wings
yup, it's over
Depends on how powerful. If I was Superman and no one else had powers then yeah I'd help. I'd kill lots of bad people who would normally be untouchable.
Secretly. Id basically Clark Kent it with fewer morals.
I've had fantasies where I take over at least parts of the world and then offer the local women to line up to try and be the one who gets my seed. You'll regret ghosting me then, stupid b***hes
At best I'd be a mixed blessing.
99% of The Boys is 2edgy4me but I'd be lying if this wasn't literally me right here
I didn't understand their logic why he couldn't hold up the plane. By that scene's logic he shouldn't be able to hold up stormfront while he's fricking her in the air but I guess maybe he's not strong enough to carry a plane
Planes are all aluminum foil except for a very intentionally designed frame made to support it only when all three tires hit a runway
A Boeing 747 weighs 200 tons which sounds like a lot except, say, a ship of the same dimensions would weigh 3,000 tons
It'll be like trying to lift 400 pounds using an aluminum foil wrap shell. You'll burst right through it!
Yeah but the excuse in the show was that he had nothing to support himself on or something. I don't remember the whole scene but I remember it didn't make much sense and they abandoned the "reddit science realism" parts of the show like that pretty quickly
I wouldn't have his patience. You talk even the remotest bit of shit to super-me and I'm eye lazering your face off. One thing I would do though is just fly around for fun, just doing loops and rolls and shit, would be so much fun. Dunno why flight is always shown as just "efficient transport" and no super heroes have fun with it.
patience comes from power, you'd know if you had any.
No it really doesn't. You can be an old cripple in a wheelchair and still be patient.
I didn't say it couldn't come from elsewhere.
“Get out there and lift it”
>Lift it HOW? It’s frickin’ air
they have a couple good keks in that first season
still doesn't make sense though. if he can generate the force to fly through buildings or travel at the speed of sound himself, he has the power to level out the plane to gift it natural lift.
as for the "he'd rip right through it" plebbitors, for reason they are so permanently stunted by wild sensationalism that they can't think outside of intense extremes - and are incapable of realising that gradually increased pressure does not cause things to explode instantly. he could just hold onto the front landing gear or spread his body out along a section of the front and gently ascend in stages.
the plane would stabilise.
if he wanted to reduce weight and hazard, he could laser the engines off and poke a hole in the fuel so there's no fire risk.
it was just a meme scene that plebbitors blindly took as fact without the slightest bit of thought
Nihilistic horseshit made by dumbshit millenial troons.
It's time to go back.
I would only help White people. My actions may also be interperated as villianous.
best post in thread and deserves dubbelz
yes but I'd also kill billions
i would just focus on making my small nation a heaven on earth, forbidding most foreigners to enter
ignore the rest of the world, except if it interferes with our little heaven
Humanity never helped me. Why should I show it mercy when it gave me none? If I had the power, they would regret what they did to me.
Thats a logical way to think about it. And regardless of whether the others in the thread will admit it who are talking about not trying to help anyone and just wreak havoc and serve their own interests, they're driven by the same logic. But just because something is logical doesn't mean its good or that you should do it. There's children out there who are just like you were once. Where you expected to be treated like you mattered but you weren't. If you adopt this mindset of tit for tat for humanity, you become the same person to those children that others were to you when you were also innocent like them. Thus perpetuating the never-ending cycle. This would be even something that needs to be said if society weren't so hell bent on forcing people to 'move on' and stop taking their traumas seriously. As this line of reasoning would occur naturally if the person sees what happened to them as being wrong and unacceptable rather than just 'meh' or 'whatever'. If something is objectively wrong, then you'll take steps to prevent it from happening to others as well. Whereas if you're told that its a 'you' problem, then the person is going to inevitably resort to thinking in terms of me, me, me and frick everyone else.
They will all pay
No
Id get rid of like 70% of violent crime if you know what I mean, but beyond that I think society would heal itself and there'd be no need for me to use my powers for anything other than misogyny
I know what you mean, if you know what I mean
I love All Star Superman and DC keeps using the artwork for their new Gunn led DCU and I know they aren't going to even try to be as comfy as that story is.
I'd only help in situations I could fully understand and situation where the help needed is immediate and obvious. For instance a train fire or like a murder in progress or terror attack.
Unless part of my powers are drastically increased intelligence or mind powers I guess but if it's my current level of ignorance but with Supermans powers I have no doubt getting involved in more complicated affairs would only cause bad shit.
I'd play Dr Manhatten and unite the world against me.
My assumption is that if I have superpowers, then someone else probably has them too. Thinking this, I wouldn't want to announce such a power in case someone comes and tries to highlander me.
already on my way
>Would you help humanity if you had superpowers?
Actively trying to better society and help them? Probably not. I would probably be like Goku. Just enjoying life to the fullest with my powers. Still, I would help my family and loved ones.
I would help humanity by pushing the entire planet into the sun then stabbing myself in the heart with kryptonite
This place is a miserable shithole with no joy and cruel people
Euthanizing it would be a blessing
just starve all the problems to death and the world will improve overnight
No, I'd probably be like Hanwiener at the beginning of the movie.
If I had Superman's powers I'd slice down the Washington Monument with my laser eyes and make sure it didn't fall on anyone. Seems satisfying
I'd go help out with major natural disasters, basically superhuman power to counteract superhuman events.
But otherwise I'd provide energy. I don't really know if Supes' heat vision has a limit but he's basically running on solar power and can transfer that power efficiently. I think most of the worlds human scale problems can be solved by a clean source of energy.
If not that then the whole flying fast to create water funnels and just go around putting water up hydro electric lakes.
If not that then the giant concrete block towers that lower on pulleys and dynamo's to store energy. Except I put the blocks up.
I'd prefer a way that allows me to have breaks, but putting a days work solving humanity's energy needs would be good.
Probably just fly around in my spare time since flying is fun.
if you want to provide energy then you should help push for fission power and research fusion
with superman powers i would focus on boosting space colonization
help build a space elevator, bring things to the moon, etc.
itd probably be kinda hard to find crimes if im just flying around. i guess thats what the super hearing is for. yea. id fix up all the black towns with all the crime and everything. try and melt every gun over there in a week.
I helped humanity without super powers. It wasn't worth it.
I would but in a benevolent dictator sort of way where I shape the world for the better even when the people in charge try to resist. Once my vision is complete and people see that it is in fact now better, I will leave humanity to their own devices and disappear.
no
I would be a good goy that leaves all the pedo elites alone, I'd go after plebs only.
Yes, by purging specific ethnic groups.
I'd definitely not help certain countries and populations.
The only way to improve humanity with superpowers is to kill all billionaires and people making shit bad for the masses
We could be living like star trek today if it wasn't for corporate greed
the thing about superman is that he was raised with good parents and nice people so he will help humans
Like ozymandius. Just run it from the shadows and try to have people remain peaceful on their own volition
No, because humanity will inevitably exploit and destroy me over it. Better to keep acting like a powerless normie and maybe at best enjoy a small binge in secrecy.
Basically, Alex Mack had the right idea. Look at how fast everything went to pieces once somebody squealed on her in the last episode, and now due to the chemicals that gave her powers leaking into the sewers, her town is no doubt going to be filled with more superpowered mutates like her but with zero restraint.
Re-create the world in my image
