If superpowered beings really existed
Would the real world be better or worse?
On one hand the superpowers could help society,but that depends on how many powers would end up in the right hands.
" it depends on what all superpowered beings existed... because if we are talking about massive Cosmic Enemies like Anti Monitor or Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet... unless we had someone to battled them that were good... this world probably wouldnt even exist... hell out universe may no longer exist... lmao "nonsense the presence would fully back us and intervene to stop a real life thanos.
" People don't even have super powers now and they are destroying the earth. If they did we'd be a galactic threat somehow!Maybe universal. "I agree, but then again at least i would have more hope of someone protecting us :P
" @King Saturn said:hopefully he would... but eh" it depends on what all superpowered beings existed... because if we are talking about massive Cosmic Enemies like Anti Monitor or Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet... unless we had someone to battled them that were good... this world probably wouldnt even exist... hell out universe may no longer exist... lmao "nonsense the presence would fully back us and intervene to stop a real life thanos. "
Worse.
Doesnt matter how many Super heroes we have. One Super villain could probably wipeout a city with a temper tantrum. and if there where no Supervillains, the whole "government wants to do experiments on you" idea becomes a reality. Now we either dont have heroes becuase the government killed them or locked them up, or science figures out how to MAKE things with the stuidies they took and now we have a world full of semi-powered soldiers and terrorist.
best case scenario, we get Something like Hancock. ONE super-person who nobody can touch who doesnt have any desire to do anything illegal. anymore and your looking at propaganda, science, politics, and egos getting in the way.
As long as there are good people, good will always win over evil not matter who has the power, it's a universal law.
" @War Killer said:Hey, everyone says it's going to be worse, and it will be if everyone thinks that way. If there were people with powers, then there would be heroes to stop the villains." As long as there are good people, good will always win over evil not matter who has the power, it's a universal law. "nah. just plot wank. "
im sure there would be good and bad guys but i highly doubt anyone would be out fighting crime for free, wed probably have super powered cops and soldiers along with super criminals the idea of a completely selfless person is nice but 99 times out 100 theres going to be some selfish motivation behind there behavior good or bad. its just our nature
I suspect it depends on power levels. If you read JMS's Rising Stars I think that is fairly accurate in the first couple of books, right up until they get organised that is.
it would be a 50/50 split some would always want to help others just because it's the right thing to while other may help to just get noticed for the fact that they have powers. some may want to be worshiped as a god beacause of there power and others would do nothing but bully others knowing that they can't be stopped by a regular human it just depends on who has powers
I reckon that al the heroes would eventually get ticked off, I bet for every earthquake or tsunami in which they were late, they would get stick, and most people would be jealous, it would encourage more people to turn into mad scientists, to try and be super. The army would create super soldiers. And well if I was a superhero I would be one of those who are scared that they may harm those which they love. (depending on what type of power it is of course.)
" @darkningdawn: I think it would be like Marvel's Civil War, if you had powers youd have to register with the government. Id hate to be someone who was stuck with a pretty crappy power or be someone who didnt have powers when everyone i knew had them haha "like the night glow kid from sky high?
" I'd like one superman. That's it. A boyscout good guy/girl who never kills kind of good. Just, nice one and that's it. "
it would be like x men. ppl would not like ppl with powers and the ppl with powers would think they were better than evry one else
but seriously i probably abandon helping certain countries and focus on helping more deserving ones...
All the altruistic hero types would be Fighting over who became Batman superman spider-man wolverine an so on untill someone dies because their trying to out do one another
Mean while the would be crims would go on a gang qeust to recruit peeps, gang warfare big pissing contests lots of cake or death
Yea I suppose some would just lead normal lives using their abilities to make a little cash on the way to pay bills stay hidden
Of course a few would go serial killer and start taking out all the people who they think did them wrong in their lives the bigger the crazy the bigger the list
A lot might go the entertainment stunt man path build an acting/singing/entertainment/Marvel comic hero impersonator for conventions or parties, movies, bands, reality shows famous for being famous
Some might go Vote for me honest John I have the power to get things done
Basically I can see the idea of people getting super powers going very wrong before it's gets any right
Still I have first dibs on the power of love cause I'm a guy & I think basic
