Poll: Does this world need superpower people?

[Sniper Team 4]

No. A thousand times, no. I'm unnerved by how many people I know that chose the evil ending in Infamous 2, and you can bet that that is how the real world would end up. Those that have, and those that don't.

I would love the ability to fly though. That would be awesome.

Man, it would suck, every few months the world would need to be rebooted again...

Spoiler: Remember that time the sun turned off for like a week?

But heres the scary thought, how would you know the world hadn't already been rebooted?

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

No, it really doesn't. The reason is simple enough: I think if most of us were honest with ourselves, were we given superpowers we wouldn't be playing the role of super hero. The only thing that keeps most of us from villainy is the threat of some sort of repercussion.

To you have any idea how much this crazy paranoid person genuinely worries about that every day? Seriously, it explains deja vu and everything...

Do these hypothetical heroes share my beliefs about everything?

I mean, suppose they were all keen on justice and freedom and all those other nice sounding vagaries...but that they were convinced homosexuality was a threat to humanity. Or that there was only one true religion and everyone should abide by it. Or that their race was superior to all others.

You get those kind of moral crusaders and/or psycho vigilantes already. With superpowers and nothing to stop them? Um...

Poll monster eats polls.

I think it would definitely add the right amount of fun in my life to know powers existed...and then get a mad-scientist to give me one.

Nothing would really change. Oh sure, for a few years there would be chaos. "Superheroes", "Supervillains", and normal humans would fight each other for a couple years, but eventually we would adapt. That's humanities most dominant trait, our adaptation. We adapted to guns, we adapted to nukes, we would eventually adapt to super-powered humans.

However, "Superheroes" wouldn't help the world, either. With every action, opposite forces would try to rebel against them, causing more chaos.

At least, that's my opinion.

Fuck no! I've watched the trailer to DC Universe Online. I wouldn't want the world to be some distopian pro-wresting ring where attention whoring jocks knock all our shit down every other week. And people are already willing to blow shit up based on the comic book writings of ancient text written my ignorant, desert dwelling cow herders. If they witnessed super power assholes flying around and defying the laws of physics, they would totally lose their shit and make it worse.
