Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.
I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?
If I had the power to stop time I'd stop it, travel all around the world putting live grenades in the pockets of every type of evil greedy cunt I could find, then start it again and wait for the fireworks to ensue. Every time someone starts making psychopath money again? Suddenly a grenade appears in their pocket. Funding wars, poison and incarceration? Every person with a finger in haliburton or monsanto, turned into red mist at a board meeting. Shareholders, exploding in hot tubs, saudi princes splattered in their shitty lambos. Every jordan belfort wannabe fuckstick exquisitely morphed into charcuterie.
Grenade morality.
that would be extremely time consuming, imagine traveling around the world with every major transport frozen
and imagine the time It would take to actually find everyone who needs a pocket granade
I think one of the necessary secondary support powers would be for time to flow normally for anything you touch.
Otherwise air would be frozen and you'd suffocate.
Also if air were frozen, it wouldn't flow to move out of your way so you'd be locked in place.
How can you consume time if it is stopped?
Time is change. If you're not aging then you're not moving. Imagine destroying the universe by just stopping it.
I feel like after a while, and maybe with a few notes left behind, it would begin to have a chilling effect.
Would it really be time consuming? Depends on the ruleset of thw world I suppose. Do you age in this time frozen state?
I think you'd have to.
I think it can't work without the "things Im touching are exempt" rule.
If you can breathe and are not locked into your own clothes, you can surely use motor vehicles as well
The "Death Note" style of super powers lol
Big grenade diplomacy
I'd vote for ya
you paint a vivid mental image
I like that
You’d need both the ability to stop time, create a time pocket for yourself and the ability to fly on your own
