How would you react?
« on: September 28, 2012, 05:13:04 AM »
Watching the film Chronicle got me thinking, what if we really did get superpowers.....how would we use them and how would we change?
The film mostly deals with the psychological changes that the main character (Andrew) undergoes while using (and abusing) the power of telekinesis. However, it is told in a less than cheerful light.

I won't spoil the movie for those who wish to watch it, and I do recommend it. However, what I was trying to say is, if you obtained the power to manipulate everything around you and practically became the next step in human evolution....how would you REALLY react to the situation? It's something to consider, would you keep it to yourself and try to live normally, or would you develop the powers.....would you use them for personal gain or maybe to hurt the ones that hurt you?

I personally thought to myself that we all have a dark side, that given the chance I probably would use the powers to hurt people, especially if angered. Even the nicest of people can break under the pressure....and when given power....even history can tell you how people can change dramatically when given power and influence. So, thoughts?

I'd probably try to wreck the system while trying to stay anonymous.
After that, you can call me kira-sama or kami-sama.

Personal gain and a bit of revenge is a definite, if anybody says they wouldn't they are lying. I wouldn't go too far though and I wouldn't bring attention to myself, just steal enough from a bank to buy a big house with large gym and games room, then live normally. I don't go around beating people up because I can, and I don't spend more than what I allow myself each week even though I have a fair bit saved up in the bank. I just like to do the things I do, I don't want more.

I would first rob a bank. I would grab enough money to buy a house (not too luxurious, wouldn't want anybody getting suspicious), and support a 5 member family for the rest of my life. I would then reveal my secret to my 2 closest friends and help them with their lives. Then I would live normally, occasionally going off on a vigilante crime hunt to blow off some steam.

Now what I would actually do.
I would leave my country and wander the world. Do some street performance magic show every now and then for food.
Go around the world helping people and countries in need.

Evil beings can't wander this world for a long time. We must gain before we can sustain.

True, but evil is necessary for heroes to be heroes, even if they are hated they give select individuals the opportunity to be remembered. I think in that sense, we actually need evil beings in this world.

Regardless, I know for a fact that in my weak mental state, I would turn "evil" and cause havok with any form of supernatural power, power is only for the strong of will and mind.

Exactly, I want to help yet want to kill too. I'm strong of will and mind. And also evil.

Try and simulate a blowjob with psychokinesis.

Everything else comes after that.

Someone put FiST's posts in the hall of fame.

Anyway, I'd probably go on living normally. Though I would use my powers to maybe steal something or another, something I want...like, oh look a cool game from a store that wouldn't mind if a single one was stolen...I'll get it. Or something. Also I'd walk without worrying from home to place and places to home 'cuz if anyone tries something funny, BANG! Psychic headshot to the face!
...or something.
