If you had Superman's powers, would you take over the world?
- Thread starter guek

Yes. Absofuckinglutely . I would start by going between to factions fighting and fuck one side up destroying their equipment and shit (not taking lives), and when the others start cheering, fuck em up too, and then threaten all the governments in the world saying I'm am their new ruler and anything and everything has to go trough me first.
He can hear almost everything without having true godlike powers to intervene everywhree. It would be eternal torture and you'd never be able to do enough.
Taking over the world would be terrible and it's never worked out for him in any of the elseworlds where it happened.

wiping up the drink I spit everywhere when reading that part lol.

nope
but even if they did, just go Omni-man on all of them
Seems like busy work and a constant need for surveillance. I'd just want to live an easy life.
To me it's the same as buying a big house with a big pool and a yacht and whatnot if you get rich. Like, why? Keeping it all clean and intact is way more work. And sure, you could get like a maid and a gardener, but then you'd just have people running around your house. That's no way to live.

Frankly, no, and it's very likely that i wouldn't be a superhero either, i'd just use my powers to improve my quality of life.
Im don't think i am in a position to pass judgement on people of any kind.
Maybe i'd stop the easy to classify evil stuff, ya know, like stopping nazi rallies and KKK meetings, ya know, absolutely evil stuff, i definitely wouldn't mess with international politics tho.

Nah, I'd actually try doing the hero thing too. Though I'd probably just end up like Hancock after a while.
No, governance takes a lot more work than I'd want to deal with on a daily basis. I could see myself correcting certain universal wrongs though.
No, I'd be super rich doing some stunts for tv and live a somewhat normal life. If countries or leaders ask me to save them i'll just tell them fuck off.
I do have a question though. If I'm walking down the sidewalk and just feel lazy and I jump to the other side or fly somewhere what could possibly happen. Would you get arrested or get in trouble with the government? Wouldn't be doing anything illegally I think.

I have no interest in ruling the world. But it would be tempting not to use my power to circumvent the law in certain cases
No. Running an entire world would be a ton of work.
To be clear though I would still want the powers.

That's not how you do it. You scare the world into cooperation by threatening their extinction and they'll govern themselves. All you have to do is be a looming threat in the event that they stray from righteousness. Be the god everyone pretends they're afraid of.
I probably would. Wipe out everyone who is an asshole. Leave only kittens and puppies and good chefs.
No. But I'd be a total dick about it.
Chefs to cook the kitties and the puppers?

Bulletproof black guy... scary enough.
Would be too much effort though. Besides that, I'd want people to have free will. Maybe I'd just be a hero.

To anyone answering the world.
If you're from the USA or China or say Brazil.
You're world leader, tell me how you are going to tackle the problems facing say South Africa or New Zealand?
Economic inequality?
Racism?
Global warming?
Sexism?
There are a lot of problems that Superman can't just punch or blow away, so no I wouldn't take over the world and put the responsibility on solving all the world's problems on my shoulders.

This is exactly what I would do. Especially the wiping out those cheering.
Yup I'd rule as overlord and wipe out anyone who disagrees . World order would be created as one people who treat each other better than what has been going on for centuries
I wouldn't want to ever reveal myself in the first place, I don't want to be noticed when I just want some milk from the store.
Spider-Man can take his power responsible crap and shove it, I ain't helping you fucks. I'd eventually get sick of it and turn into injustice Superman anyway.
