Interesting superpower questions

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I stand by my theory.

[Mik_Hael]

And I by mine.

Whatever...

More people means more supers.
And higher chance a super would find a non-super partner.

But small communities tend to be more interwoven and caring for each other, which might enhance the life/life-span.

Both have a point and I now rule this argument as finished.
You're only gonna irritate each others and others, without swaying each other's opinions.

[Mik_Hael]

caring wasn't my point.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

We already ended it.

[Myself]

Shall we post another question?

[WonderDrow]

The answer is : Yes, we shall.

[WonderDrow]

If it was possible in real life, then how far would you go to obtain the power you want?

For Example:  
There's a company that creates a one-of-a-kind serum.
Consuming this serum each month will grant you the power you want. (100% certainty)
But each vial of serum is created from the spinal cord fluids extracted from 12 children while they are still alive.
Those children were killed in the process to obtain those fluids.
Would you order the vials? (assuming you got the money for it)

I'd only need the first month with Power of Imagination. I'd use it to gain my Penultimate powers and what powers I made here on SPL  (MythPowers, etc). Then I'd create bring forth the start of the events of New Beginning, and never have to worry about the serum again.

For a chance at that, I might well rob a bank.

I'd even repay all the world's robbed banks, and restore the lives of all the children harmed in the process.

[Zaleramancer]

...

No.

[Myself]

Actually, that would be wise; otherwise, other people would still be hurting them. If you did this, despite supporting it temporarily, you would eventually bring an end to the suffering. The end may actually justify the means in this case.

Nice answer Wulfie.

Yes. Earth-Fire-Water-Air

[WonderDrow]

If it comes with the obligation to save the world? Then no.
I would only mess that up.
And there's all that funky acrobatic kung-fu stuff going on in the series.
I would need to shape up...  I'll pass.

If not then Earth,Water,Air,Fire

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I would. I think, with time, I'd get used to the idea of being charged with the safety of the world. Especially if I could start off with Airbending. I greatly value agility, dexterity and flexibility.

And for my own special airbending technique to qualify me as a master, I'd try to become the first master of SOUNDBENDING. Sonic Scream and other sonic attacks, sonic barrier/wall, sonic-repulsion flight, and sound cancellation (for inaudible, ninja-like movement), etc.

Either that or I'd take a clue from the first Bloodbending master, Hama, and invent BREATHBENDING. Hold my breath longer (even indefinitely), vortex-like inhalation, gale-force exhalation, and even stealing the breath of foes to suffocate them, or expanding their breath to explode their lungs.

[Philote]

I wouldn't, Its not worth 12 lives much less one.

As for the Avatar thing, I'd love to be the Avatar, but isn't the cycle: Air - Water - Earth - Fire?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Water-Earth-Fire-Air, if my recollection of the Avatar seasons, and the ATLA introduction is any indication.
