So you've just been told......

[Riku'sTwilight]

That you're a superman (note, not THE Superman of DC Comics fame, just a superman.)

You can fly, emit energy from your body, palms, eyes etc and you're virtually indestructible while you're the only superman out there. Your offspring also possess your superhuman powers (if you choose to have any) and you only have one weakness - you need to sleep every 8 hours for a whole day to regain your powers.

What would you do?

let's see... punch people in the face, punch other people in the face, walk around with a huge wad of cash in dark alleys waiting for muggers, then kill them, and fly everywhere, because walking's for losers who can't fly.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

Jump around like an idiot xD

 

[Athol]

What do I do? What ever the hell I want.

 

[132635]

act casual and natural for as long as i can, never disguising myself and never doing anything unless it was happening near me. no point in wasting my entire life however infinite it would be, by flying to and fro helping old ladies cross a street

 

[MartianWarMachine]

Get a surgeon to remove the part of my brain that gives me emotions, fly to Mars, nuke the Earth, and watch the fireworks.

 

[StellarViking]

Being able to fly would shave some serious time off of my commute. Also, beat up muggers and stuff.

Edit: Hey, that's one hundred posts.

Waaaiiit a second here. I think I need some clarification. Do you mean you have to sleep for eight straight hours within a twenty-four hour period, or that you are only awake for eight hours and have to sleep for twenty-four hours to get your powers back?

Well, in either case, I'd be rubbish. I sleep for two-to-four hours and am awake for about the same amount of time and longer, so that's no good.

But, for the sake of playing along...

Nothing would change. Sad to say, but my friends and co-workers already think I'm some kind of god on earth. Adding flight and emitting energy... just sounds like showing off.

Now if I had tits and was on fire, that WOULD be something to brag about! Being a woman, you'd think I'd have the first part down pat, but, well, yeah... Let's just say I'm in no danger of hurting myself jump-roping....

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Hesitantly test his claim. I'd hate for a Vampire's Kiss situation to come up.

 

[DevilWolf47]

If that's the case i've already lost the powers. I'm lucky to get six hours of sleep every thirty hours on a work "Day."

 

[Dango]

Become a superhero. Seems like the obvious, unoriginal choice. At least I can do some good that way.

 

[Phlakes]

Stay cool for a bit, then use it to get laid. Maybe screw someone flying above the city. Or on a really tall roof. Then try not to let anyone else know about it until the right time.

 

[Necrofudge]

Well assuming I'm still superman when I'm asleep, I don't think thats as much of a weakness as it is a setback.

I'd probably just name myself ruler of the world then sit back and let everything go on as normal. I would, of course, get anything I want for free.

Then after a while I'd get bored and fly into the sun or something.

 

[The Night Shade]

Blow stuff sky high

 

[Robot n.o 9124791234]

Tell the person who said I am a superman to go away (stupid retard) then lose my temper and kill the guy with my superpowers anyway. After realizing he was telling the truth I would then kill all the members of all the governments in the world and declare myself:

EMPEROR OF THE UNIVERSE

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I wouldn't use them, I'm already dangling precariously from a cliff over Pariah-gorge...I don't need a push.

 

[katsumoto03]

The world.

It is now my *****.

And it is time...

...For...

Flying through the air completely naked blasting morning talk-show hosts with my heat vision.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I can't die? I guess there's no real limits to the things I could do then... I would try to save the world, in any way I can.

 

[Drakmorg]

I'd do whatever the hell I want. It's not like anybody can stop me.
In the end I'd probably wind up just holding the world hostage. Work out some kind of "You give me everything I ask for, and I allow you to continue existing" agreement with the rest of the world.
