What Would You Really Do If You Were Superman?

Alas, not all of us would be as beneficial to society as Superman.

Here are some of the things we might do if we were Superman!

Remember, having pretty much unlimited power would eventually (and probably sooner than later) become enormously boring. With this said, the greatest struggle a real superman would face would be to somehow stay entertained!

And so here is a list of things one could do to alleviate the tedium!

1. Go to Chicago dressed as Batman and fight crime.

He does, after all, have a much better costume.

2. Late one night sneak into the Natural History museum and re-arrange all the fossils.

Just to see if anyone notices.

3. Resign from the Daily Planet and get a job at Burger King.

There is much that can be learned about base human nature here, plus the layers of grease that will soon accumulate on your skin will provide a great deal of protection against both kryptonite and mosquitoes.

4. Offer piggy-back rides for $1 to kids in the park.

A fantastic revenue generator! One week New York, the next London: your fame will spread fast and you could easily rake in $10 – $20 a day!

5. Express a desire to star in the next Superman movie, as Lex Luthor.

It would be an interesting twist. Though in truth this could only really damage your reputation: Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey are hard acts to follow!

6. Order a pizza.

Simple sounding, but do this from the Fortress of Solitude. Time the delivery and just generally be one awkward customer. The major disadvantage to this is that you would have to give out your address, which would somewhat weaken the secrecy of your abode. You could always kill the delivery boy…

7. Declare your birthday an international holiday.

Everyone must have a day off work on this day, which you would tirelessly enforce… and so work extra hard yourself (is there perhaps a flaw to this plan?).

8. Graffiti on the International Space Station.

No need to write anything obscene, just “Superman was here” or something similar. Perhaps you should spell “here” wrong (or even your own name), to better reflect the mental prowess of the typical graffitist.

9. Buy a pet.

A goldfish is a good idea as you can bring this with you wherever you go. Don’t be afraid to talk to it in public: fish thrive with attention and love.

10. Create a few crop circles here and there.

Just to keep the UFO people on their toes. Nothing like some cryptic messages in rural spots to perplex easily perplexed people! This could also spark a new series of Sci-Fi films, and we all know that for every hundred made there tends to be one or two worth watching, you would be doing a service.

    Haha, fantastic. I’d dress up as God and make people worship me, then when they really believe he’s real I’ll tell them I was kidding and that there isn’t a God.
