Marvel 's writers picking up next super power

Clbull ,

2 and 3 without question.

You’d make ludicrous money from the construction industry with an unlimited supply of gravel, while being able to teleport 7 inches would be useful for break-ins.

Halvdan ,

My thoughts exactly. God-tier talents, both of them. But if you got #2 you don’t really need to steal. I would use #3 to undress. Easily saves 5-10 seconds at bedtime. Or become the naked burglar of course.

HauntedCupcake ,

The teleport for break-ins only works if you and the object you want to go through are less than 7 inches thick. I’m not sure you could do anything with it

kolastor ,

Most doors and fences are, in fact, less than 7 inches thick. You probably couldn’t get into a vault, but simple B&E would be trivial.

maniclucky ,

Yes, but how thick are you? If you are 7.1 inches thick, your back will move forward into the thing you’re trying to avoid.

kolastor ,

Ah, I figured it was measuring front to back, not center to center. I’d say they’re both valid interpretations.

It depends. Is 7" measured from the center of my body to the next location? Or is it measured from the tip of the front of my body and the back of my body will end up 7" away from that position? Because the former would likely be useless for breaking into places. My body would make up the majority of the travel distance. I basically would only have 1"-3" or teleport distance to work with. Most walls wouldn’t even work.

As someone else said, if I could spam the teleport command, then it would be great. Then I could travel across oceans and such. But I’d have to be careful to not transport myself inside of a boat’s hull and get spliced.

The gravel would be great though. With an unlimited supply, I’d just create a turbine which is turned by an unlimited amount of gravel pouring over it. The gravel would have to end up somewhere… Can’t just leave it on earth. So I would ask countries - in exchange for the free energy - to build a space elevator/launching mechanism. The gravel would be launched into space towards the sun. This would be a problem in a few million or billion years. I’d accelerate the death of the sun by increasing its mass or maybe my gravel would add too many sunspots. Idk. But who cares. By then we will be space faring. One major issue is I’ll die in 50 years give or take. So I’ll need to spend most of my time spawning a surplus of gravel somewhere so the governments of the world can continue turning the turbine? Idk. That’s a big problem.

Maybe I’d just start a construction company.

Clbull ,

Another thing to consider, if you miss your mark, do you blink as close as possible to the object you’re trying to go through or does it impale/telefrag you?

captainjaneway ,
@captainjaneway@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely impale

captainjaneway ,
@captainjaneway@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely impale

NeonWoofGenesis ,
@NeonWoofGenesis@l.henlo.fi avatar

Well then the air molecules will also impale your whole body

captainjaneway ,
@captainjaneway@lemmy.world avatar

Oh that’s true. I guess we have to allow for displacement. If that’s the case, yeah I want this power 100%. Spam teleport. I could destroy anything in the world just with displacement. I could punch a hole through tanks just by teleporting. And if I have no “cool down” when teleporting I could level entire armies. I could teleport once every nanosecond even bullets that are timed to hit me down to the nanosecond would only penetrate my body a small amount before I teleport and displace them.

Clbull ,

Well option 3 suddenly sucks a lot more.

Maybe it’ll be a neat party trick.

Arthur_Leywin ,

1 and 2. The gravel to sell and the oysters to get a sense of how communications with other animals work. If I can communicate with an oyster, my understanding of communication could potentially extrapolate to higher animals.

SCB ,

Free gravel for life. Just become a gravel wholesaler. Corner the market instantly.

Wogi ,

The price of gravel has plummeted. You now have a mountain of gravel and no one willing to buy it for more than what it would cost to transport it.

SCB ,

So what you’re saying is, I have a ton of free rocks!

Let’s goooooo

Rediphile ,

That fine, I’ll take the loss for now and later raise prices again once all the other gravel suppliers die out.

OrteilGenou ,

3 and 7 no contest

Siegfried ,

3, 7 in is enough to travel through a few mm thick steel wall

7, being able to see through the walls of an actual container can save some time while robbing them

Also,

5, controlling a toaster with your mind is like controlling a pretty impractical relay. Combine it with amateur arduino skills and you can actually control any electro mechanical device with your mind. In that case i would pick 5 and 2. Selling the gravel will pay for the expensive hobby

EvokerKing ,

Can save some time while robbing what? The container is empty

Undeltog ,

Don’t waste time opening empty containers. Anything you can’t see inside must have something inside it.

felbane ,

Shit, this box is full of gravel!

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

You don’t have to go check the empty ones

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I pick 5 to make infinite money.

Step 1 - Buy some used toasters

Step 2 - Rebrand and sell those toasters

Step 3 - Make every toaster that isn’t mine fail catastrophically

Step 4 - PROFIT!

EvokerKing ,

Or just sell the gravel

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Nah, I’ll have to deal with low prices and undercutting competition, not to mention the huge volumes of space needed. No, my friend, full monopoly on toasters is where it’s at!

Corkyskog ,

I am going to use the oysters to predict the stock market. They probably know when peoples coke wore off and when they last took their prozac.

SkyJuice ,

Wasn’t this a bit in the Tiger King saga?

Rhllor ,

5 If you want to see the world burn

AeonFelis ,

If you pick 7, 1 becomes redundant.

adaveinthelife ,

2 and 7, obviously. Good luck anyone carrying an empty box within my vicinity.

hydrospanner ,

Agreed.

With 2, I build a fortune in the construction supply industry.

7 is just gravy at that point. A minor convenience.

    Deal or No Deal wouldn’t work as the briefcases all have something inside of them: a placard with a dollar amount

    MTK ,

    2 for money

    3 for everything else. Think about it! Assuming you can teleport in any direction as fast as you can think then you can fly, move super fast, dodge any attack, pass through thin barriers (such as fences, thin walls, etc) swim super fast and depending on the rules of this power maybe you can poop really fast by teleporting away but leaving your poop behind!

    rutenl ,

    If you fly by teleportation you’d still accelerate towards the ground from gravity and when you land you’ll splat

    otter ,

    What if we teleport upside down temporarily? Would we accelerate ‘Up’ for a moment, thus decelerating?

    abbotsbury ,
    @abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

    No, you’re teleporting, you instantly appear 7 inches away. In the time it takes you to teleporting again, no matter how short, you will start falling and gaining velocity.

    isolatedscotch ,

    does the teleporting retain the velocity?

    MightyGalhupo ,

    But does teleporting reset momentum?

    abbotsbury ,
    @abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

    Unless otherwise stated, I assume all relative inertia is preserved.

    debil ,

    Plot twist: the act of teleportation is extremely tasking both physically and mentally. Even the most capable persons haven’t been able to teleport more than twice a day.

    Gloomy ,
    @Gloomy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    What is this, lost earth?

    AgentGrimstone ,

    7 can be useful. With 6 I can keep repeating it to be a lot younger, 10 hours at a time.

    EunieIsTheBus ,

    Question: Are pants and underwear considered as a container?

    “Officer I swear I just wanted to see which phone causes such a big bulge in his pockets! How could I know that the pills grant X Ray vision!”

    DillyDaily ,

    But if someone is wearing the pants, I’d argue they don’t count as empty.

    bitwaba ,

    1 and 2.

    Endless Pearls.
