why did you pick that one

#2 Posted by YoggSaron (812 posts) - 11 months, 24 days ago - Show Bio

A superhero, as long as I have a decent power set. I'm perfectly fine with being only moderately wealthy.

If you have a decent power set you can easily become rich.

@mr.obvious: you could but you would not have real super powers no offence Batman and Iron man fans they are real super heros because of the phisical awesomeness

I'd much rather be a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist...

#29 Posted by Strider92 (11320 posts) - 11 months, 23 days ago - Show Bio

Depends on what level power. If its only street level then i'd pick Taskmaster's power. A few minutes of watching Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Jimmy Hendrix i'll be the best damn guitar player ever then the money comes! Or I could just a ton of martial arts films and become an assassin......there's so many ways that power could be used to make tons of money......

To be rich, so I could hire a lot of engeniers and become... wait for it... Iron Man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MII3ns2KTBc

If I am Superman but without weaknesses, then I'd go for being a superhero. I can get rich as a superhero. and when you're a superhero, you look very attractive too. : )

Anyone can get rich, not everyone can be a superhero.

#39 Posted by Recoil1985 (521 posts) - 11 months, 23 days ago - Show Bio

Assuming I can only have one, I'd opt for the super hero. Money might be able to buy happiness and sure, you could donate to charities; but being a hero gives the first-hand satisfaction of knowing you did everything you could to make a positive impact on this world and hopefully served as an inspiration.

Superhero, so long as I know I'm actually helping to make the world a better place.

Of course, if I was rich I could similarly use the wealth to support the world in a similar manner... ooh, this was easy a moment ago... I guess I'll stick with superhero.
