Superman for a day

[daemon37]

What would you do if you had all of Superman's powers, but only for 24 hours? You are not in the comic universe. You are still you, but now you have all of Superman's powers.

The first thing I would do is write my name in the Moon in really big letters so that everyone can see it. Next I would fly all around the planet, and under the sea, just looking at stuff and taking photos (note: I'd get a very durable camera). Along the way if I saw some criminal/wartime activitiy worth getting involved in I would fly down and "thwart some evildoers". Also, if I had enough time I would try to help fix environmental problems (ie. oil spills, the Japanese nuclear power plant, etc.), but I wouldn't spend all my time doing this stuff, I'd just lend a hand for a short while.

If I had more time I would've liked to also visit Mars, and other planets in the solar system.

[Just_A_Glitch]

Hmm... I'll take you through a day as Superman.

"Quit my job! (Like a boss)
Rob a bank! (Like a boss)
Blow shit up! (Like a boss)
Destroy Utah! (Like a boss)

X-Ray vision! (Like a boss)
Harassment lawsuit! (Like a boss)
Leave the planet! (Like a boss)
Fight some asteroids! (Like a boss)

Find a new world! (Like a boss)
Become its ruler! (Like a boss)
Lead an invasion! (Like a boss)
Fuck the Earth! (Like a boss)"

Or something like that.

 

[SilverHammerMan]

I choose to interpret this as referring to Silver-Age Supes powers, ie. Whatever he felt like, so I'd just apply my Super intelligence and A)figure out how to keep my powers or B) Build Iron Man armor.
If that's not an option I'd probably just goof off/figure out my powers, then do some humanitarian stuff (disarming rogue nations, helping refugees, etc.) Then I'd get myself some money using the classic Superma method, crush coal into diamonds for my personal use, after that, probably help out with science by putting some space probes in place and taking my camera with me. After that, I'd probably lightly vandalize the moon with a self-portrait and then explore the world, just do the amazing stuff, y'know. And at the end of the day, I might just fly into the sun, because frankly my life would have succinctly peaked.

 

[lady man lady]

i would be kind of afraid of leaving earth and then running out of superman powers. that would suck.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

I would sell the rights to analyse my case to the first that pays me a brazillion bucks. Then i would take a piss out of every religion that believes in some kind of godly avatar or messia and tell them i am all of them at once.
no need for ??? ,pure profit

 

[Teh Jammah]

Take over the world. Then spend the next 23 hrs 55 minutes getting drunk and boning whores. to death. with my super penis (see mallrats for details)

 

[Cap'n Ninja]

Weep because I'm not Adam West Batman.
/thread.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Basically own the world, then spend a bit of time to turn back the world so that the day never truly ends, but the world stays my slave.

talk about some major profit.

You, good sir, officially win

and I think i would fuck some shit up destroy everything I don't like then fly really fast around the world to turn back time, that when I lose the powers people won't want me dead anymore

 

[wulfy42]

I'd use my x-ray powers to find some mondo diamonds, lost ships in sea etc and stockpile a ton of stuff for after/if I ever lost my powers.

I would probably try and grab all the nukes in the world and throw them into the sun.

I'd spend a few hours playing real world minecraft somewhere.

At the end of the day when I have an hour or so left I'd fly around the planet super fast and turn back time so I had the whole day to do over again. If that worked I would just keep doing that every day until I finally got bored (stockpiling information each time so I could use the day with super powers to the fullest before settling on the best outcome and sticking to it).

If my 24 hour period is not extendable by reversing time.....I'd just be happy with the wealth and security (and minecraft created fortress) I made while Supersized.

Fear we both posted the turn back time thing within a minute of each other. Strange minds think alike I guess

Hurray! I'm part of something! XD

 

[Leemaster777]

Oh, that's easy.

Go to the middle east. Use my super-hearing plus X-Ray vision to find Osama Ben Laden.

Kidnap him.

Drop him directly into the center of New York City.

Watch the fun.

 

[Viewtiful Dan]

Cook the perfect steak with my lazer eyes.

 

[jumjalalabash]

Put on a disguise and rob banks.

 

[twistedmic]

I'd fly to the other end of the country and break into video game and electronics stores (while wearing a ski mask/disguise) and stock up on all my movie, gaming and t.v. needs. Then I'd rob a bank, take all of the cash/bearer bonds/whatever, fly to Switzerland and personally open up a Swiss bank account.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Go to a coal mine. Use super strength and heat vision to make my own diamonds. Repeat until I have enough to set me for life. That should take about 4 hours...

Go to the Middle East and parts of Africa, use X-Ray vision and super speed to scan around. Disarm any terrorist group. Should take maybe 12 hours.

Go to the Moon. Use my Laser Vision to carve my name on the moon big enough so that at certain points, people can see it. Should take about 3 hours...

Go to two big name news studios. Show off that I have these incredible powers by rapidly flying from one end to the other live. Should take about an hour.

Ust the remaining 4 hours dicking around. Not much else to do. I've secured my financial future, my legacy for the short term, my good reputation and my long term lasting impression. I'll live in luxury, loved by all...

 

[BabySinclair]

Turn in as many bounties for wanted terrorists and criminals, live off the money for the rest of my life. Make sure the government pays me cash and my identity is hidden while letting them know it's a one time deal.

 

[Wilbot666]

Spend an hour at least flicking pennies through high-rises.
