If you had SUPERPOWERS, would you be a hero or a villian

[HappySilly4Doom]

For me, If I can have any power in the world it would be super agility (I think that would be cool)! & I would be a super villian causing mischief and chaos and stuff! You? ^_____^

*smiles*

[Shaman King]

Neither. I don't want the responsibility of being a hero, but I don't want to be a prick, either.

[Dr. Badman]

Someone offering you super powers and you saying "no thanks I dont want the responsibility lol" is being a prick.

I'd want tech power - Like Syndrome.

I'd be neutral/selfish - I wouldnt interfere with anything unless it was in my best interest...

[MST3Kakalina]

chaotic neutral FTW.

i'd want shapeshifting. definitely.

[Shaman King]

I wasn't offered shit. The question was, if I already had powers, which would I do? I don't think that just because I have some special ability doesn't mean I should feel obligated to put it to use for humanity's benefit.

[Dr. Badman]

The question is what power do you want and what would you do with it. You're like "no thx", which doesnt really answer it.

PS: Hey man want some super powers? I've got all that shit.

[MST3Kakalina]

way to be a dick, Chupa. just answer the question. :(

[Awesome McManly]

super saiya-jin

pretty much an unstoppable force with almost unlimited potential, and all manner of ways of manipulating your ki.

Goku coulda wiped the floor with superman's pansy ass.

[BreadObama69]

Yeah, I just want all kinds of telekinetic and psychic abilities.

Oh, and like mind reading. And I'd totally be evil.

[Dr. Badman]

Godzilla could beat Goku (which is the REAL discussion).

In one montage, Godzilla can beat up to 6 monsters. Goku, on the other hand, takes 6 episodes to charge a spirit bomb. Then he'll probably miss. It doesnt matter, really. He'd be Godzilla toe jam in seconds.

[Awesome McManly]

psh, nah. in movie 13, Goku and co fight a godzilla like creature, and goku fucks him up in super saiya-jin 3.

he doesn't normally take that long to charge up, but the cartoon seemed to have a really shitty budget.

[Dr. Badman]

THE Godzilla cant be beaten by man sized anime characters, let alone anything ever.

Besides, Mothra's got his back in case he gets tired of winning.

[tass]

if you believe in the heart of the cards and the power of friendship, anything is possible.

[HappySilly4Doom]

Neither. I don't want the responsibility of being a hero, but I don't want to be a prick, either.

Then what would you do with your super powers? (and what super powers would you have?)

*smiles*

[Nadine]

I agree with Koba; shapeshifting would be the best superpower.

I hate to be noncommittal, but I probably wouldn't be a hero or a villain. If I happened to have superpowers, I don't think I'd have the drive to fight crime, but I wouldn't want to be a criminal, either. I'd probably use my power for personal enjoyment/convenience or as a "party trick." If I had to choose, I'd be a hero, but I'd rather do good in more mundane ways.

If I wanted to be a villain, and I lived in a world where a decent number of people had superpowers, I think the best superpower would be "power swapping," since I'd have control over the individuals who had superpowers, and could have them do my bidding. Unfortunately, even if it would be a potentially powerful superpower, it wouldn't be a very "fun" one.

[Spleenazor]

I'd just want the ability to force-choke. I mean, come on, how much would that rock? Maybe force lightening too.

[Takker]

I'd just want to fly. why would I need all that other flashy stuff anyway? like Nadine said, I wouldn't go out and fight crime. I'd just float around in my backyard and have a good time

[Spleenazor]

yeah. also, forget superpowers. it would just be cooler to be a student at hogwarts.

[Takker]

agreed.

'I cast a spell on you!'

[Spleenazor]

EXPEEECTOOOO PAAAATROOONUUUUMMMMM

[Spleenazor]

I would remove my radius, and replace it with my wand. That way, it would look like the spells came out of my hands, and therefore it would be much cooler.

[implode]

way to be a dick, Chupa. just answer the question. :( he did answer the question. what a ridiculous reaction. he's a dick because he doesn't want superpowers?

anyway! i would be a hero! <i>feel-better man</i>, with the power to counsel anyone into any state of mind i wanted to. like mind control without the zombiesque features. and i would use it to make children feel better when their puppies were hit by cars and friends feel better when life is not everything they wished it would be.

[Awesome McManly]

there'd be a warrant out withen ten minutes after the first over protective mother was informed by her four year old that a man in a cape made him "feel better". =P

[Meat Load]

if i was allowed to have the amount of superpowers i'd like, i'd probably be on a plane higher than good and evil. i would be the one who DECIDES what is good and what is evil.

so basically i'd be god.

[implode]

ehehehe. but then i'd be all "i'm not the droid you're looking for" and the cop would be all "oh yeah i guess i don't need to see your papers" and. yeah. you know how it goes.

[Awesome McManly]

you'd certainly be popular at goth parties.

[exemplary citizen]

Oh man. I like Cory's idea. Can I just get you to be my live-in superhero if you ever come into posession of said superpowers? I pay in homemade lasagna and delicious soups.

[implode]

you'd certainly be popular at goth parties. pff. like i'm not already.

Oh man. I like Cory's idea. Can I just get you to be my live-in superhero if you ever come into posession of said superpowers? I pay in homemade lasagna and delicious soups. i don't really like lasagna. make it an espresso machine and you've got yourself a (meaningless) deal!

[exemplary citizen]

Okay, but we're a non-dairy household. You supply your own creamer.


And I fully realize that Justin is going to take that last sentence completely out of context 30 seconds after I hit the reply button.

[Awesome McManly]

well, I'd say that power falls into a natural talent of his anyways, even if its not supernaturally inhightend.

...

how the fuck do you spell "inhightend"?

[Awesome McManly]

hey now! give me some credit. I didn't take it out of context until you pointed it out.

...

but now you've just taken all the fun right out of it

[implode]

Okay, but we're a non-dairy household. You supply your own creamer.

okay the TV just said "dangerous drive-thru vasectomies" and i just wanted to ask you guys if you have ever heard about this before google shows me 100% more diagrams of penis than i asked for.

[exemplary citizen]

AHAHAHA. No. But please regale us with your google related horrors when you return.

[mcrandmuffins]

I would have a power that lets me have money come out of my hand so that way I can give money to poor people and let me buy all the veggie corn dogs I want. yumm :D

[t3]

I would have a power that lets me have money come out of my hand so that way I can give money to poor people and let me buy all the veggie corn dogs I want. yumm :D

Way to obliterate the economy, terrorist.

and i would use it to make children feel better when their puppies were hit by cars and friends feel better when life is not everything they wished it would be.

Yeah! You could, for example, make the kid you just doused with SCALDING WHITE-HOT COFFEE forget the fact that you scared them!

I'd either want to be able to become liquid, like the T-1000, or some kind of time-warping deal.

[mcrandmuffins]

I would never do that. :mad:
I would also buy a ranch and buy some animals and go there alot. :D

[BreadObama69]

the whole idea of ranch buying is very underrated in the superhero mythos.
Don Imus knows the power.

[mcrandmuffins]

Hmmm. Okay let me have two powers. The apility to be really strong whenever I want too cause then whenever I hit my sister she wont fly outta the house. :D

[Spleenazor]

thats a pretty stupid super power.

[BreadObama69]

some people have strange, simple needs.

[Takker]

he should have the power of good spelling

God knows he needs it.

[Forever Finite]

i think i'd go the way of the almighty implode. some kind of mind powers, such as telepathy or spooky hypno powers.

actually, teleportationm would be mighty swell. and echolocation would come in handy. i don't fucking know.

he did answer the question. what a ridiculous reaction. he's a dick because he doesn't want superpowers?

i'm just glad you beat me to it.

[Awesome McManly]

Rachel back me up here.

Would Goku kick the shit out of Godzilla?

[Forever Finite]

of fucking course. i completely passed up that argument because it's non-debatable.

[Takker]

it would take him 20+ episodes to do it though.

[Awesome McManly]

If worse came to worse, Goku could just vaporize the entire fucking planet, but he wouldn't cause he's a swell guy.

but you know...

It's the only way to be sure.

[implode]

wtf is a goku

[Awesome McManly]

the main character in dragonball.

[Takker]

Implode isn't with it

[MST3Kakalina]

you kids and your dragonball wtf.

[Forever Finite]

it would take him 20+ episodes to do it though.
uh, excuse me takker, i do believe the question was whether or not goku could whoop godzilla. the answer is yes, regardless of the number of episodes (roughly 32 to be exact).

[HappySilly4Doom]

I use to watch dragonball all the time! But then I got bored!

*smiles & shrugs*

[Dr. Badman]

Godzilla beats anything between 1 and 2 hours AT MOST. Goku's demands on time will be his downfall.

You people need to actually watch Godzilla.

I sure as hell wont be watching Dragonball, though...

[Awesome McManly]

don't watch it, read the manga.

There is no waiting 25 books for powering up. It's one or two panels max.

besides there's a difference if its a movie. In the movies it only takes Goku 45 minutes to trash whatever he comes accross.

[MST3Kakalina]

i vote for Godzilla because Dragonball is kinda shit.

[Awesome McManly]

And of course Godzilla is the pinnacle of modern cinema.

[MST3Kakalina]

uh, duh =P


i posed the question to a panel of experts on such hypothetical situations. i will let you know what their vote is when they've decided.

[Awesome McManly]

see, but this argument is pointless anyways. Regardless of what you like better, it doesn't change the fact that their isn't a super hero/villian or sci-fi creature alive that could take out a super saiya-jin. they're ridiculous in their power. they're capable of reducing entire solar systems to dust without breaking a sweat. Only other dragonaball characters pose a threat to them.

...

and MAYBE cosmic spiderman.

[Forever Finite]

also, tim allen's character in galaxy quest.

[mcrandmuffins]

Uhhh J.T. :mad: :mad:
That sig of yours got me in trouble. My mom saw that.
:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Awesome McManly]

also, tim allen's character in galaxy quest.

Tim Allen's acting in general is cuase for concern no matter how powerful you are.

[BreadObama69]

also, tim allen's character in galaxy quest.
you go to hell for bringing shit like that up.

[Awesome McManly]

Uhhh J.T. :mad: :mad:

:mad: :mad: :mad:

ha ha!

sucker.

[Dr. Badman]

They played "Shaggy Dog" on the plane trip there.

And again on the way back. :C

Destroying a galaxy without breaking a sweat? Every attack charge sees bulging veins and a near prolapse. Godzilla just walks forward until he wins. Energy attacks make him stronger. In a battle that doesnt involve destroying the world, Goku's only chance is to fly/blink away until Godzilla gets bored.

[Awesome McManly]

because their power is based on anger. And energy attacks are not all they're capable of. Godzilla could step on Goku all he likes, he won't be able to crush him. Goku would just stand there with his hand up. Super saiya-jins have incredible Hulk level strength. they can tear through tanks like paper towels.

[KLEIN]

JT, my mom saw your post and thinks you're a gigantic nerd.

I AM IN SUCH BIG TROUBLE IT IS NOT FUNNY. MY NAME IS MCRANDNOOBINS AND I AM IN DEEP SHIT.

JT, Drgon ball Z does not have enough literary merit. You may not discuss it. "destroy a solar system" is stupid anyway. Godzilla wins by default.

[Anne]

Really Justin, you've begun to corrupt yet another generation to your sinful swearing ways. Tsk tsk.

I've always been partial to time freezing, just because you'd be able to accomplish so much. As far as good an evil goes, I think I would mostly be motivated by my own wants and needs, so I have no idea if I'd be good or evil. One hopes good, but I will admit that I would probably not pass up a good 'oh, a moustache has magically appeared to be drawn on your face in permanent marker. tragic' moment.

the irony is killing me!

What fucking literary merit does Godzilla have?

[KLEIN]

Is "it doesn't suck horse testicles" meritous enough?

[Meat Load]

Godzilla was originally a poignant metaphor for the devestating effects of the atom bomb on Japan.

Whereas Dragonball Z is dog shit in anime form.

You see how this works.

[Awesome McManly]

NO!

Godzilla is like ten times more painful for me to watch than Dragonball.


Fuck, all of these opinions of it are based of the show. The show was horrible. Watch some of the movies. They’re still not as good as the manga, but there the best you're gonna get as far as anything animated dragonball related goes.

The series was never meant to be overly plot oriented anyways. It started off as an adventure comedy. It's never taken itself seriously; it's always just been a fun little romp.

Besides, this was never a popularity contest, it was an argument on which was more powerful.

[Meat Load]

if a large-eyed humanoid with glowing yellow hair is more powerful than a 2000-ft tall radioactive death lizard then

well I don't think I need to make a comparison at this point because HUUUURGH

[Awesome McManly]

I think poignant is a little generous. Unless you're talking about how physically painful it is to watch.

[Awesome McManly]

if a large-eyed humanoid with glowing yellow hair is more powerful than a 2000-ft tall radioactive death lizard then


that's exactly what I'm saying.

haven't you learned anything? size isn't everything.

at least...

at least that's what vanessa keeps telling me. :(

[Meat Load]

I think poignant is a little generous. Unless you're talking about how physically painful it is to watch.The country had just emerged from losing not only a war and their status as a world power but also thousands of lives in one instant. And Japan was a very proud country. Every last citizen was prepared to fight to the death.

Imagine trying to express the pain of that loss, both on a national and a personal level.


That's Godzilla.

[deadish]

hahaha i likes the cut of your jib, anne.

and you boys are just SILLY.
..and while i do love some of toriyama's stuff, dragonballZ is just.. blah. (what i've read of dragonball is DELIGHTFUL though)

as for MINEOWNSELF, i'd just want total ultimate to the XTREEM mind powers.
levitation/flying? dawg. telekinesis? worrrrrd up. telepathy? ain't no thang but a chicken wang. the ability to make my internal organs work properly and process sugar? awwwww schniznoze. timestables? you a bad mothafuckah.

maybe i'd just be like dr. manhattan from 'the watchmen'.

[Awesome McManly]

um... with a 200 foot radioactive lizard?

that's beautiful man.

see, but super saiyajins are capable of ALL that.

um... except for the sugar thing. that's up to god.

see, that's why I chose them. regardless of the opinions of the anime, as a super hero they're unmatched in just about everything. So I'd go with that. It's as close to the God choice that Zach was going for, without actually being a god.

[Awesome McManly]

Okay, this just getting redundant.

Do I have to explain the whole hulk like strength thing again?

[Takker]

cell could win against everyone because he was the only cool villan and Gohan can't kill him because he's a weenienerd.

Why thankee deadish.

Meanwhile, dinosaurs in general do tend to be awesome. I mean, Jurassic Park, <a href="http://www.qwantz.com/">T-Rex</a>, even that one in King Kong (which I haven't actually seen, cause it looked really boring, and yes, I know King Kong kicks heis ass, but still). Godzilla ftw.

[Mecha Wolf]

btw... Grey Hulk is a bit hard to beat, if you've read the story arch where Spider-Man becomes Captain Universe you know what I mean. He'd teabag Godzilla without getting so much as a scratch.

[t3]

Hmmm.... well, Godzilla HAS resulted in not one, but two reportedly hilarious MST3K episodes. Sadly, I have seen neither one of them, so I can't say for sure.
However, Justin. You are making a critical miscalculation in terms of anime geekery: even saiyajins would be hard-pressed to defeat the plants from Trigun in a fight. They are super-strong, capable of destroying an entire planet, have psychic powers, AND they're really good at math. Beat THAT.

[deadish]

PLUS
once they've grown, they don't age.. and apparently live forevers?


and no gross musculature. <3

[Shadowfox]

You guys. You're missing the bigger picture here. Heroes (traditionally) get to pummel faces, break expensive machinery and knock down buildings <i>with no consequence</i>. They're fully justified in any and all actions that can logically be attributed to "making the world safer" by virtue of being heroes. And being as a bit of creative reasoning can logically attribute almost anything to "making the world safer", as long as one retains the hero status, one has essentially a carte blanche for doing anything at all. In fact, you'll probably be THANKED for it. Hero is the way to go, guys.

Or you could all be bad guys and I'll just thwart you.
