    Default Would you live in the DC or Marvel universe?

    You get one of the following super powers and then you get sent into either the DC or Marvel universe. Which power do you choose, which universe do you choose to live in, and what do you do once you get there?

    Powers:

    Super Strength: ability to lift a mountain, and throw it high into the air

    Super Speed: ability to run at the speed of light, no time travel, and can perform any manner of tasks with the same speed

    Invisibility: cannot be detected, not even by machines or superhuman senses

    Teleportation: can go anywhere in the world instantly or even create portals large enough to drive a car through

    Telekinesis: can lift a skyscraper with your mind, and throw it high into the air

    Regeneration: can recover near-instantly from any injury and cannot be killed by anything short of absolute vaporization

    Teleportation easily. Good-bye gas bill. Oh, and DC. Marvel is mostly low to medium level heroes with really powerful villains while DC is mostly really powerful heroes with low to downright goofy low villains(with some notable exceptions to both verses).

    For teleportation ... why the hell would you even need a car?

    If I have super powers, I want to live in the universe that is less likely to organize muggle lynch mobs to toss me in jail/slave camps after the eighth time I save the world by punching an island into the sun, or something to that extent.

    To drop on the Joker, obviously.


    Edit: And if it wasn't obvious, yeah, I go with teleportation. Portals allowing me to fire pressurized magma/seawater at things is just a bonus. And, uh, I guess DC, if I can pick pre-flashpoint. I dunno what NuDC Earth is like. Marvel has S.H.I.E.L.D. freakin' everywhere, and that's honestly a bit creepy.

    Only invisibility and Teleportation look that good to me.

    Invisibility kinda skeeves me out. It feels like a power i would be too tempted abuse/break the law with. Teleportation means I have less travel time, and gas filling, and parking lot fees, and plane travel fees, and basically it's kinda awesome.

    That, and Marvel seems to be more... edgy and violent towards its heroes. I know Gotham is plenty edgy, but given Marvel's track record in the abuse their heroes go through...

    Technically, it's just a portal large enough to drive a car through. Nothing says it has to be your car, or that the owner would want to go through it, or that you have to wait for it to finish going through before you close it.

    OTOH, constantly driving cross country and using this power to send terrible drivers on involuntary road trips to the moon would inarguably make someone the best superhero of them all. They'd be called Gridluck, and a parade would be held in his or her honor, which will promptly be redirected into a volcano.

    This has nothing to do with the fact I spend around two hours a day for what should be a 40 minute round trip.

    Hey, that's what happens when you deal with traffic all day, myself, I would love teleportation to be able to finally bypass the worst mode of transportation on this, or any Earth...buses.

    Oh yeah, and to port people like Joker to the moon and play "catch the teleporter" with villains when I get bored.

    Pretty sure that would piss off some heroes that you don't want to piss off.
