All Women Gain Super-strength/Healing Factor

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Power can, and almost certainly does, corrupt.

Not everybody just falls in line, which guarantees that those in power will need to exert force to get that opposition back in line, or strike them down. Whether a girlfriend takes it out on a former abusive boyfriend, or a woman gets even with her boss, or a radical feminist group goes guerilla against some patriarchal society, it can and will eventually lead to chaos.

Women are capable of just as much bad and evil as men, just like mutants and humans. Either side is capable of being evil, or corrupt. Prime example: X-Men. Two sides with similar advantages. One works for the good of the world as a whole, the other works for their own selfish advancement.

Simple as that.

Oh, yeah, and I'm pretty sure that sex with a high-powered superwoman would kill you. Quickly and painfully. Remember, the vagina is full of muscles. And beware the orgasm...

Ah.

Something I read from a book. Paraphrased:

"People who say the world would be a better place off if women were in charge don't know very many old women. The kind who give you nasty looks and spread awful rumors about you if you deviate even slightest from the social mores. At executions, it's always the little old ladies who sit up in front sucking on peppermints."

Now I'm not saying men are better.

I'm saying that either way, people are people. Women, men, whatever.

The ones who want power are rarely the ones who you want to have power.

Who decides who gets into office? Normally, that's the people. In this case, it would be whoever could seize power in the chaos..

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Basically, you'd have an X-Men/Heroes/Evolutionist's Stone scenario.

[Zaleramancer]

Huh.

Alright.

So, you think women are wonderful, compassionate moral things unless some things happen.

Please read this page.

[Zaleramancer]

Most of our current gender roles is cultural reinforcement.

Men are supposed to act one way, women another.

If the culture were to change, so would these roles.

So saying that women are somehow inherently nicer and more wonderful is silly.

I have lots of female friends. None of them are wonderful saint-like figures. Some are nice, some less so.

I know people from the 4.0 goodie-girl down to the junkie almost failing high school.

I don't judge. I never think people are somehow inherently bad. There are no bad or "Wicked" people.  There are people with problems that can be helped with.

That's something that burns my buns about so many things.

I hate those people who look down on people with personal problems. They're arrogant assholes.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Hate is a pretty strong word. And, pray tell, what made you bring up the thought of aforementioned types of people you hate?

I hope not my comment. Because my statement was, in no way, meant to imply that people are inherently evil or wicked creatures. I don't personally hold that belief, nor do I know of anyone I've encountered in the course of my life who holds such a belief (except maybe William Golding). Rather, I think that people can encounter influences that cause them to deviate into behavior which may be called wicked or morally bad.

Likewise, I agree, people can change. However, it's a matter of whether they have the desire to change, or make the necessary effort to change. And power rarely does something to help a person change.

Often, as you and I both well know, having power, without having proper knowledge of how to use it, does less to CHANGE who we are, as it does REVEAL who we are. And not just reveal our true nature, but reveal the worse parts of our true nature.

Just think about it. If you felt like you had been restricted your entire life, held down and oppressed, kept in this tight little box that kept you from what you viewed as true happiness, what would be the first thing you did when you felt like you saw a way out (ESPECIALLY a way out with no potential retaliation or backlash on you)? Rarely are people SO fearful of potential negative consequences, or SO traumatized by their former obligations, that they stay in line, even when they realize the power they possess over their own destiny.

And even more rarely, when people pursue that 'way out', will they simply leave, if an opportunity is presented to return at least a tiny portion of harm back on the party they view as the oppressor.

Maybe you wouldn't take the chance to get back at any bullies you had in your life, if you were offered a chance to finally get back at them, and then get away from them, but don't assume that other people are so good. Then again, who knows? Perhaps most people wouldn't take the chance to retaliation. But even in that, you've seen what a few bad apples can do.

All it takes is a few crazies, talented in their craft.

I highly doubt such things would reduced. The minds of men and women are much more similar than you'd believe. For instance, why would racism and homophobia be decreased; in high schools, what do the teenage girls (in some cases boys too, but we're talking about females here) do to each other? Talk trash and criticize minor differences.

Male homosexuals would be the worst off; there are many Christian extremists who are female and would be able to kill thousands of homosexuals (at least the males) as they do not have a member in the relationship able to fight on fair ground.

Relationships would be distorted more than most things, since many women subconsciously search for protection in a man; which wouldn't happen if they were so physically superior.

There are also weapons you must consider. Many biologists (possibly even me, the local biology nerd) would be capable of making weapons which could potentially kill thousands of females by exploiting their healing factor and leaving males unaffected. For instance, I could introduce a mutagen to target the regeneration and cause cancerous cells to be produced. Even if it works it out of their system, they would be engulfed by a cancerous mass in the meantime, possibly in mere seconds.

Besides, sexism goes both ways.

That is a problem not usually thought about. They would also crush their bones when they try to exercise their strength, if only temporarily, as they lack the associated durability.

[Zaleramancer]

Not you.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 You replied to my post...*confused*

[cer1992]

Well, how corrupting is only having super-strength can be, comparing it to energy blasts or telekinesis or all of Superman's powers? I mean, people can have a lot of strength in real life. Who's heard of Mark henry? He moved a tank with his bare hands, but I'm sure he hasn't killed anyone. And as for the strength level, it's just a little above Spider-Man's physical strength but much, much well below superman or wonder woman or the hulk. But a women can, however, toss Mark Hernry to another country, though. That black guy is the world's strongest bodybuider in the world and still is.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

See now you're changing up your original parameters. Or at least defining them differently. Because what you just described isn't super strength, that's just increased strength. Super strength is above the normal human capacity of strength.

[cer1992]

Don't you know how powerful Spider-Man is? he can web-sling a car like nothing. That's how strong he is, and the all the women in the world in thise scenario are stronger than he is. So, I haven't changed anything. the strength level was never anywhere close to superman or wonder woman in the first place. but the healing factor level is on wolverine's, though, but strength somewhere between superman and spiderman. And is this corrupting as heat vison, telekinesis, etc.?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

It's defiantly as corrupting...being unable to die is defiantly a very corrupting influence. You don't have to fear anybody and can make your own rules.

By the way, Spiderman cannot web sling a car, he can move one through centrifugal force and the use of his knowledge of physics but the original Spiderman was defined as having increased human parameters, not super strength.

[cer1992]

Oh, these women CAN die all right. They're not indestructible. Just cut off their heads, shoot them multiple times to kill them before they can even get to heal, cut a fatal artery, or stab them directly in the heart, preferably the first option is the best. They cannot grow back limbs or anything severed. These women are strong, but not invincible. The best way to come after them is when they're sleep, though. Just be careful not to wake them up.

By the way, they'll also eventually die of natural causes. I never stated they were unable to die. Just they're aging rate had become slower than normal (i.e., superwoman's 100 years old = normal woman's 55 years old)

When a newborn girl is born, her strength and healing develops with age. At a teenager, she would be able to only tilt a car off the ground and wouldn't be able to fully pick it up with ease until she's around 24 or 25. From this point on, the woman grows stronger and stronger, and at around her late 50s to early 60s, her strength begins to weaken and healing factor starts becoming slower.

Therefore, in my scenario, the new life expectancy for women will now be somewhere between 135-150.

Crazy, I know. But it's what it is.

I'm telling you guys. This world may be imbalanced, but it isn't as scary as people keep making it out to be. I mean, I can survive in this new world. So what if all women are stronger than i am. There's plenty of them who are stronger than me now. Basically, what's there to be scared of? Huh?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Hey, you asked a question on opinion. You can't get mad at us for our opinions differing from yours. We all agree that superpowers on that massive a scale would bring chaos.

Besides, you already said they're regeneration was on par with Wolverine, who cannot die (except under extreme and very specific circumstances) due to his potent regeneration abilities, even a shot to the head won't kill him. Again, you've changed the parameters of your scenario.

*SCIENCE MODE: ACTIVATE*

I would like to know the effects of ionizing radiation on these enhanced females.

[cer1992]

My bad. I hardly knew much about Wolverine, since I prefer DC over Marvel, in which the latter I don't like at all. The point is, these women can die like I said. Yes, they have Super-Strength and the ability to heal from wounds in minutes. They may be able to heal, but decapitated them , shoot them in the head, cut their throat, or whatver you do fatally. Resuurection isn't one of their powers. Once these women are dead, they're dead permanently. Again, I haven't changed anything. I just naive when it comes to marvel and it's characters, cause i like dc. and i wasn't getting made, by the way. i just explained my point that despite these women's powers, they can still be killed. The best way to do it is in their sleep, though, or sneak up on them. I wouldn't wanna kill a woman, super or not, but if the bad women should going around attackig a man, he can, if he has a gun or knife on him, kill her. The way the healing factor works is that, let's say they get shot in the leg, you take the bullet out and then the wound would be closed in minutes or so. But if she gets shot in the head and dies immediately, there's no healing factor to save her.

When I first posted this, I knew good well this scenario would cause a lot of choas. I posted it for the hell of it. Call me a masochist, but I wouldn't mind being manhandled whatsoever by a female, as long as she keeps me alive or don't permenantly paralyze me. Wonder Woman's my dream super-date!!!

Hmm, next time you may wish to check facts before spouting "info" about Marvel characters to a Marvel aficionado such as myself. (and by myself I mean me, not the user named Myself)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Oh, don't blame him, Marv. He can's help himself. He's one of those types who prefers DC over Marvel. They know not what they do...
