Rocketed to Earth as an infant from the doomed planet of Krypton, young Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland.

If I Were Superman In The DC Universe...

1. I would wear a lead suit to keep out the kryptonite radiation and dtich the cape. That way anybody that thought to use that green stuff would find it useless.

2. I would date some superpowered woman, I dunno know who, I got waaay to many choices. The list just goes on and on. Not WW, she's too macho. I would probably go with I dunno...I would say Powergirl or Supergirl but they are my cousins so that would be GROSS. I would likely have to settle for lois or one the New Gods from New Genesis. Too many domimatrixes in the DC universe seriously!

3. I would capture Luthor. I don't care if people don't like it. Then I would ship him off to some alien planet to do slave labor, or at least drop him on a world far away so as not to cause me problems.

4. If any foe tried to kill me I would just end it, period. No punching mind you, I would spam heat vison...BIG time. I would not mess around.

5. I would leave Earth and explore the galaxy, Batman and the JL would be fine without out me for a while. I would only return when they called me. : )

6. Now how about you guys?

Pretty sure you wouldn't be Superman if you acted like that, you'd just be some tyrannical, misogynistic vigilante with superpowers.

I would:

  • Become a hero for hire.
  • Wear a lead costume (not my idea, but I like the OP's thoughts)
  • Hook up with some other female hero. Too many to choose from. Probably Wonder Woman, but I wouldn't have a problem at all with Power Girl or Supergirl. Big Barda would also be nice.
  • Take Lex Luthor and put him in a prison somewhere where it's impossible for him to escape from. On the moon maybe?
  • Rip the head off of anyone who got in my way.

All I can think of right now.

I would try to be a image of hope(hey I'm a blue lantern I can't help myself :D). I would also become Earth's champion. I would spend 2 days a week in the sun(only to leave when danger threatened the planet).

I would also travel to other planets taking down there evil leaders. I would also on 1 day every 2 weeks hire myself out as a handyman for the price the average worker would get and make millions of dollars in a day(by using my super speed of course). That way I can buy a place for a mansion to put up superheroes and buy all the stocks for LexCorp(really why hasn't anyone thought of that before?).

That is all I can think of for now.

Just noticing how nu52 Superman's armor glows when he uses heat vision.

1) Destroy all kryptonite on earth, it gives off a certain radiation. I can heat vision it from a long range and do the same for idle chunks of kryptonite floating in space. (Not wearing some hot lead suit everywhere I go)

2) Since Im faster than a speeding bullet I would become a track star as my civilian career. And slowly dominate all other fields to gain favoritism from people.

3)Go to a woman's soccer team and use X-ray vision on them while they practice. (Would go to Themiscyra but Wonder Woman would try to kill me)

4)I'd use the fortress of solitude as a prison for my rogue gallery with superman robots as guards (so they can see my pretty face everyday for trying to kill me)

5)I'd discretely disarm all the nukes in the world while they are still in their missile silo. That way countries still think they have them and won't be quick to go to war.

6)I'd force all soldiers and terrorist to stop fighting. And put all the leaders giving order on the battlefield since they want minions killing each other so bad.

7)Push the world of Apokolips into the nearest star

8)Stop petty crime when I'm in the mood

9)Get drunk at a bar as a civilian and fly around the building saying the alcohol gave me flight powers and people should try it. Then laugh as drunk people jump up expecting to fly just to fall on their faces.

10)Cause a tornado at the home of every ex-girlfriend except one

11)Bring a toilet to the side of a plane and go there right on one of the wings

12)Use super voice to make it seem like the president is farting at every conference addressing the country

13)Go to every drug house to shut them down so I can steal their products for myself and dance away ganam style

14)falcon punch justin beiber while dressed as batman

15)flirt with Alicia Keys

16)Carve 'Money grows on tree here' on saturn to mess with astronomers that star gaze

17)Draw moustaches on all the faces of the 'Source Wall'

18)Grow my hair out, put on a robe then go walk on water in Jerusalem, then let myself fall in the water and appear to drown after enough people gather around

19)Gather a bunch of birds and lead them into the batcave after batman gets through washing the batmobile

20)Go bathing in the sun to super charge my powers at the end of every day

Bad move. He'll return stronger than he was and equipped with alien technology. That's Lex Luthor we are talking about.

Ehh....the thing is, Lex doesn't has any superpowers, the only power he's got is his Superhuman Intelligence. Which means, he would somehow know what you're up to, and he will kills you 1st. Cool thread though.

Nah, Supes goes easy on Lex, the only reason Lex ever stands a chance is because Supes allows him to. Supes rarely ever goes all out. If he did no one could even punch him. Faster than a speeding bullet? Yeah right...he can but hardly EVER does.

No if I was behind the wheel Lex would be in his office talking about how he was gonna own me with his goons and there would be a whoosh of air. Then he would hear, "Ahem...you were saying?" I would be standing behind him wearing an armored lead suit and be holding a gun to boot.

If he was actually crafty enough to use a weapon to destroy my suit he would be a dead man. Heat vision for the win.

I would try to be kind to Luthor but if he tries to kill me when I have the upper hand I won't be nice at ALL.

I'd probably act the same way he does with a few exceptions.

Firstly I am not a good choice to be given those powers. I would never be like him. A sneak peek for what would happen?

  • I would brutally kill some bad guys in front of cameras. So that everyone would see what happens when you cross the line
  • I wouldn't be on duty all the time. I would only get in big problems. Also I wouldn't help only one country to avoid looking like a weapon or savior of a country.
  • I would probably wear a mask because I wouldn't act like clark when I'm off-duty
  • Time to time I would show myself on screens so that people would be aware of the fact that I'm not gonna show mercy to bad guys.
  • As seen I wouldn't become a savior and hope of mankind. I would rather be fear of bad guys
  • Lex Luthor may not be my enemy cause I am not the great man everyone looks up to but if he would and still making himself like a good person he would be found dead in his bed with no evidence. For a guy who can run faster than a bullet it wouldn't be so hard
  • Other than that I would be just me and do whatever I like. Having breakfast at paris and launch at italy ^^

I'd be a scientist and inventor like my father, Jor-El. There's plenty of Kyptonian technology that would improve the lives of human beings, perhaps even more so than mere heroics. I'd explain Quantum Gravity and the Theory of Everything; I'd usher in the Singularity in the safest and most beneficial manner possible.

With the billions of dollars I make on my patents I would then also become the greatest philanthropist in human history.

Additionally I'd be a philosopher, building on hundreds of thousands of years of Kryptionian ethics and metaphysics to bring moral development and existential meaning to human lives.

Finally, I'd adopt a costumed hero persona, albeit one who is a vocal activist for worthy causes in addition to saving lives and fighting villains.
