That's stupid. If I can fuck with time and I mess up then I'd just go back and not do what I did. Doy.Spade Lead said:You do realize that with no crucifixion and no Holocaust, the world would be a much worse place right? The casual and blatant racism against ALL non-whites in the early '40s and before was so bad that the Holocaust was inevitable. If it had never happened, the lax attitude towards racism would have continued probably even today. After all, we would have no example of why we SHOULDN'T be racist. Yes, the Holocaust was a truly despicable and atrocious act, but if it hadn't happened, the world would be far less accepting than it is today for any race.Cliff_m85 said:Time travel without any aging to myself.
Imagine no 9/11. No levy break during Hurricane Katrina. John Lennon being alive and making subpar music, as all famous musicians eventually do. No Holocaust. No Jesus ever being crucified. No fear of depicting Muhammad. No AIDS. No cancer. Acceptance of homosexuals and blacks much earlier. No anti-science crusade.

Proof: Look at how the Japanese treated their prisoners of war in World War Two. Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler did Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and other minorities combined. American Survivors of World War Two have spoken about the mistreatment of Prisoners in Abu Ghraib. They said something along the lines of "Oh yeah, we used to do that to prisoners in World War Two as well." Then, of course, look at the lynchings in the south that took place all the way into the '60s, and to this day still occur sporadically. Men and women were hung, beaten, and burned simply for the crime of being caught being black in the wrong area at the wrong time.
You have to look at the bigger picture when you want to go around messing with time.
Then, when I travel back to the future, I'd NOTICE that and go back and put something awesome there for the dude to use.

This will be easy to explain, it's called the butterfly effect. Maybe you are traveled back in time and are in Europe somewhere in the 800s. While exploring, you find this neat looking rock. It fits in your hand and is quite sharp. You take it with you and continue your journey. Soon, you get back home, and everything is changed. I don't know what has changed, but something DID change.
Well, lets just say that stone that you liked so much should have saved the life of some man who got in a tussle with a soldier. Lets just say this man is Alfred the Great.
Now, in a battle, let's just say Alfred got in a tussle with a Danish soldier, and they both ended up disarmed and fighting hand to hand. The Danish soldier took a swing at Alfred and knocked him down to the ground. Right next to where that stone WOULD be. But its not, he could of used that stone to kill the danish man, but he didn't. Instead, the Danish man got to his sword and stabbed Alfred.
Alfred should have went on to sign a treaty with the danes and have england separated, but because he died, all of his soldiers retreated. Without their great king, the Wessex empire fell and the whole world would change. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worse. That should not be a decision that a man could make.
There's an X-man called Darwin with a power a bit like that. He evolves to survive the situation at hand, so if there's fire he becomes temporary fireproof, if he's underwater he grows temporary gills. The only catch is sometime it's not the effects he wants, but the ones his body thinks is necessary for surivial, so when he was in a fight with the Hulk, instead of growing or letting him asborb gamma radiations, it simply teleported him miles away to safety.kouriichi said:My super power could be evolution!
I can rapidly evolve or devolve my body depending on the situations. If i need to chase a crook down, i could evolve wings, and fly down upon him from above.
Or if im in a fight with a man larger then me, i could evolve something resembeling bear arms, and maul the f*cker. Ugh, That came out mean.
Rapid Evolution is a power not many people think about. Most "mutants" are just evolved humans, hence theyer powers. So what if my power, is being able to control evolution?
I mean, i cant full on beast-mode like Mystique, but more along the lines of growing to transform. You know, i cant turn into a cat like she could, because its to small. But something large like a bear, tiger, or deer ((or any combination of those)) wouldent be out of my reach.
And yes, i could go Manbearpig on someone if i think the situations requires it.
