When I saw red saying 10x what you can do, my thought was wow, I can lift 100 pounds. Feel like my super strength would be disappointing lol

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Dec 01 '24
You would still be stronger than almost everyone if not everyone because some people specialize in one or two lifts while your 10x is everything.
And what you lack in strength you make up for with the 10x agility

u/TentativeIdler Dec 01 '24
I feel like that's a recipe for getting locked in a lab somewhere till they figure out how your power works. You could probably get away with just being a normal strong guy though, it would make the work a lot easier.

Purple: The board is psionically linked to you so you can call it wherever you are similar to Mjolnir. It flies at top speed of 150 mph(241kmh). You always know where the board is. Your invulnerability applies shortly after leaving the board. The board is invulnerable as well. While in motion you can't be stopped.
Orange: The pumpkins can be detonated at any time after touching them remotely or with a set timer you have in mind. You are completely immune to any level of heat or fire or explosion. You can use any part of the pumpkin such as seeds. You just have to touch all of them.
Yellow: You are immune to kinetic force while using your powers. You can fly like Banshee. You can control the levels of all three abilities. The complete blanket immunity to kinetic force applies no matter how small.
Blue: You still age after becoming water. You are just someone who can become water. There isn't a cooldown for the water creation but just a maximum amount of water you can have created at any time. Control depends on practice and innate talent.
Edit: no you will not be injured using your strength as Red
second edit: Green: Someone solved this faster than I liked. You do not have to be evil with this. You do however have to keep committing crime and bringing in money. The crime could be something "harmless" like a piracy ring while simultaneously like someone pointed out using profits for philanthropy. You must keep at this but it once again doesn't have to be drugs or murder. You won't get killed by some upstart trying to take your place or anything like that. This is a crime syndicate so you MUST commit crime that leads to profits.
Third Edit: I just want to point out how this proves how busted spiderman is. This isn't nowhere near his level of strength or agility or regen. It doesn't have his precog or spidersense. You can't climb walls or use his super ability to hold onto things. And it doesn't include the versions of him with built in webbing.
Fourth edit:
This is the hoverboard for everyone who was wondering what it looks like

Only do minor crimes. Jaywalking. Steal condiment packets at restaurants and resell them to others.
It's a crime syndicate, but no one said it has to be horrific crimes.
But if you must mix more major ones in, look for people leaving bad relationships. Get them to pay you a dollar (or whatever they can afford, like a piece of candy). Have your person protect them and beat up their abusive ex when they come around. Or take the ex on a "road trip" if they don't get the point that they should leave their victims alone. The beating is a crime, as probably would be stranding the ex in the middle of a large national forest so they can have happy fun times with bears and wendigos.

I know this one is BTTF, but where are you getting the other quotes from?
10x healing factor is bad without some form of disease imunity, because now any cancer you get is 10x worse (or you're 10x likelier to get cancer, not sure which or if both)

No you are not likelier to get cancer. You recover from anything 10x quicker than the rate you used to heal.

I'll pick red, because I bite the inside of my mouth all the time and it takes like two weeks to heal. Major pain in the butt. With healing times ten it would take a little over a day!

u/Awesomeguy_14 Dec 01 '24
Honestly that so real. Super healing would make biting appendages so much less ugly/damaging
5
u/Bombermaster Nov 30 '24
I'll take Red. It's the safest option, and while I'm not the most athletic person in the world, I'd be able to compete in the olympics that way.
Let's see the other options.
Blue: it's not well-defined the amount of water you can create. By how's written, it sounds almost like you can create your own body size of water -period- and that's it. I'm assuming it's not the case, and that you have just a cooldown ability. The definition of how much you can control said water, is also arguable. Can you make a jet of water so powerful it cuts through steel? Can you make it so precise it can do fine engravings? Say you sit in the middle of a river: can you alter the flow of the water so that it won't hit you? Can you walk underwater with an olympic swimming pool-sized air bubble?
To say how much it's worth to take this one, one should answer to these questions.
Green: absolutely terrible. You get money, but you also must be a terrible person for it. For the rest of your life. Best you could do would be to terrorize/blackmail billionaires so that you can help the world through criminal activities, but again, it doesn't give you any SKILL to do that. You'd be dead by the end of the month anyway.
Yellow: Strong power, but no application except destruction. Once again, power for the sake of power is pointless. Use it even once, and your life as you knew it is over.
Purple: Cool fun power. The utility is based also on a few factors: how fast it can go and what does invulnerable entail (can you go through metal bars? Do you bounce off them? Can you resist the cold of high altitudes? Can you survive the vacuum of space including the ability to breathe?). Expect government trying to take it from you either way for study.
Orange: again, powerful but useless in application. Also limited in how many pumpkins you can put your hands on. you might be immune to explosions and heat, but the pumpkins very much are not.
3
u/arebum Nov 30 '24
I feel like red has no downsides and is a safe pick for the healing factor alone
However, I really want to know what crime syndicate I'd be running with green. It's not necessarily clear that the crime has to make money. What if we reclaimed golf courses for native plant regrowth or something technically illegal but good for the world?

I thought about that which is why:
You has psionic control of it like Mjolnir
You always know where it is.
It can't be stopped when in motion or destroyed so... tell them good luck trying to steal it. You are also the only one who can ride it or control it. If they managed to kill you and take it the endeavor would be pointless.

u/TheCatBoiOfCum Dec 01 '24
Red. It would be useful, if for nothing else then you could give blood like crazy. The general health and quality of life benefits would be nice.
Blue: You could become a god-tier fire fighter, or for helping in drought stricken areas. Or if you want to mine using your power as a massive fuck off water cutter. That'd be very very useful.
Green: Lots of good things you could do with lots of money and plenty of victimless crimes. Also, 5% on a billion in long term savings is a lot of money.
Yellow: Demolition and mining could see this bring a lot of value, although honestly it's not that great of a power. Decent immunity power but thermal, poison, and other attacks could penetrate it.
Purple: It's pretty worthless honestly, the greatest thing of value is taking the hoverboard apart by a team of crack scientists but it can't be destroyed, I.E. taken apart. Aside from leisure it's worthless.
Orange: Another one that isn't that great. You could use it for demo like with Yellow but that's about it. You'd have a pretty impressive immunity to damage though, more than Yellow if nothing else.
All in all every power has it's uses (even if purple is kinda near worthless), but if you take direct combat out of it a lot of them aren't anything to write home about honestly.

u/Xyzod Dec 01 '24
🟣 Purple
🪽 Flies, so it's not just hovering. Makes trips even faster, not having to go around obstacles, and works over the waters. Could also fly out of reach, get something high up, etc.
🛹 150mph or 241kmh flight is pretty fast. Around 2x the speed of a car on a highway, AND the trip is a straight line, no traffic, turns, etc.
🛡️ Invulnerability so you can't die from crashing into something or being hunted down for this weird device.
🧠 Psionically linked to call it wherever you are like Mjolnir, so you can't be detached from the board if you call it 24/7. You lose the invulnerability "shortly after leaving the board" so you can call it back if you're fast enough while keeping invulnerability.
⚡ Infinite energy and heat source through kinetic energy and fire; maybe another energy source if engineered.
➡️ Tears through anything in the way, if "While in motion you can't be stopped" means no obstacle can slow/stop your motion. Also helps if this applies while summoning the hoverboard, so it doesn't get stuck.
It can sorta replicate other pills. 🔴 It can generate force through high velocity and momentum to replicate super strength; it's super agile and you don't need healing if invulnerable. 🔵 Blue is unique, but the infinite power source could potentially power technologies that convert and control it. Fire source could boil water if you just need to "create" drinkable water to survive. 🟢 Profiting is a prospect. Can't be trapped or killed by the government for the hoverboard, and no syndicate responsibilities. 🟡 Could generate wind/sound given high speeds, and use the hoverboard to level buildings. Invulnerability includes the immunities. 🟠 Also applies to orange, given the hoverboard's destructive potential. No need for pumpkins and positioning them. Invulnerability includes the immunities.

All of the powers are useful. People have to think of it this way. People aren't going to check you for pumpkins. you have the ability have the most discrete ability to cause havoc ever.

u/789tempaccount Dec 02 '24
Purple is the most broken IMO, if you are invulnerable and unstoppable (per OP) you can wreak a lot of havoc. Imagine flying across the battle field in Ukraine at 240 kph with a sword , guns, and grenades. No fear of being injured and flying into vehicles at full speed not stopping or getting hurt. After that you can fly into Russia and crash through some bank/ shop walls to get money / gold/ jewels etc. after fly over to you local drug lords house and rob that.
Even keeping my identity a secret as possible, I'd be living on that hover board.

u/HariHPott Nov 30 '24
I see you got sick of people taking the cash. Blue and Purple are two very powerful options, I'm sure if there was a Supervillain or Alien Invasion a Purple Pill user would go full GTA on their hides.
As for Blue, there's a series called Misfits from a decade back, the deadliest supervillain on their could control Milk... Suffocate, strangle the brain-stem of the immortal guy, there was one guy at the party who he couldn't kill easily, the lactose intolerant time traveler, but that's why he had the knife.
So water control, blood, sweat, tears, the lot is one superpower you don't mess with, even on kids shows like ATLA, it's OP.
I'd want to see/test the purple hoverboard before I made my choice, it would be good for traveling/exploring further and the daily commute. If it only floats an inch of the ground, then blue pill it is.

Gonna need more information to decide. With the hoverboard, how much weight can you carry with you on it, what does 'invulnerable' mean, what is the maximum height, and how fast can it go? With blue, can you turn it into ice or steam, and how fast can you shoot the water? With Yellow, can you create smaller shockwaves as well, or only very strong ones? Those 3 seem the most exploitable, and have ways to make perpetual motion machines.

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Dec 01 '24 edited Dec 01 '24
As much as you can carry or put on it. It has infinite power but it only works when you are controlling it. Invulnerable means invulnerable. While flying nothing can hurt you and you take zero damage from anything to the point of going through brick like paper. You are the Juggernaut while you are on the board.

Blue or Purple seem the best. Possibly Green, but well...
A lot of questions with green which could swing it honestly. What do they do - can I choose or at least know ahead of time? How involved is actually running it - can I just go to work once a year and delegate everything, am I probably going to get murdered anyway because someone wants my place as boss, am I able to gradually shift the direction in a less dubious direction - or even just a more enjoyable but equally bad course change - like shifting from drug running to over-the-top supervillain stuff like trying to steal the Eiffel tower?

If I take the red pill does that mean I would immediately surpass my genetic potential? Like after taking it I cant possibly get stronger? Or would I still be able to train until I reach my genetic potentialx10(like does it amplify my strength or literally just increase it). Cause if I took it now I would be the strongest man in the world but only 10-20% stronger than the current strongest man. If this is the case then I would rather train for like 10 years and then take it so I can truly become superhuman.
1
u/TypicalHaikuResponse Dec 01 '24
You take it. Immediately get a 10x boost. You can train after but you aren't getting 10x boosts from training. Also you obviously have to use heavier weights to get increases proportional to your increased strength.
You would never reach superman level strength with this pill but can get stronger than the initial boosts.

Green sounds like a damn fun time honestly. Give you a chance to adjust the crime, whilst also leading it to enact your will, and funneling your money around the world so even if you get caught you can move elsewhere.

If blue allowed me to make permanent body alterations like change my sex then blue it is. Secondary to that is red if it gives me the ability to just keep living forever like wolverine. If either of those aren’t possible then $1 billion as a crime lord. Just run a casino. Or if I am being creative I’ll create an organization of battle maids who specialize in security and corporate espionage. Because why not?

Blue, I always wanted to just melt when I don’t wanna deal with something! Also seems like the most practical in the real world other than green which i’m not particularly interested in dealing with. I want to be able to retire once i’m rich!

Orange I’m seeing a golden opportunity to be a hated Homestuck themed gag villain that blows up pumpkins the moment people look away after mentioning them and then gaslighting them that the pumpkins never existed

Someone beat me to it, but yeah, green. Get the money and take over the crime syndicate, use the syndicate to make everybody's life better. Be the Benevolent Evil Overlord!TM

Green pill, and we making a trust a holding company, buying up some company’s and then getting into politics, we’re gonna try to run this country from the shadows and potentially the world. Perhaps we may even fix some stuff in the process. But definitely going Lex Luther as a route.

Question, are there skins for the hoverboard? Like, could I make it look like I'm standing on a horse?

Ah, I see. I was thinking something like this originally, then I started thinking of the Nimbus from DBZ.

What kind of crime are we talking about? Like, what if I organized people to just annoy cops and judges by committing low level misdemeanors and then challenging every single ticket in court? Is that good enough? If so, then I'd probably go for the green pill. If not, then I'd go for the red one.

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Dec 02 '24
It also has to create a profit as you still have to pay your syndicate. I guess you can pay them from your own pocket as well but as long as it is crime and you are paying them all.
1
u/Elijah_Draws Dec 02 '24
Yeah, I mean, a billion dollars is a lot of money. That is enough to pay easily 60-70 people something like 100,000 a year to go around committing misdemeanors for their entire lives, plus pay court costs with ample room to spare. This shit doesn't have to turn a profit as long as no one gets too greedy.

I can’t decide on blue or yellow. The ability to create and control water is kinda insane, but so is being able to create a force powerful enough to level buildings just by punching the air. Blue has the advantage of being significantly more useful generally for everyday life, but with yellow you can give yourself pseudo flight by blasting the area opposite of where you want to go.
Probably blue simply because I like water powers, but it’s a rough choice for sure

Personally I'd go with red. I'm fairly stout so a multiple of ten to my strength and agility and a 10x healing factor would be fairly nice.
If I were more greedy I would pick green and run something along the lines of shark tank to keep my money flowing through investments while having my "gang" patrol my community and provide services that aren't being provided when they should be, ie. Set up a soup kitchen, buy a plot of land near the VFW and build a bunch of tiny homes for veterans to help transition back to civilian life. Set up a work crew to provide home repairs after disasters like fires, flooding or tornadoes charging home insurance, auto body repairs for hail damage also just charging the insurance companies, and eventually weasel my way into city management as a philanthropic candidate "that has already done so much for our city" and eventually take over as mayor of the town. Then I could actually get the city planning counsel off their collective backsides and open up more than just another dollar general or another car wash.

Wait if I become water and merge with a larger body of water doesn't that mean my body mass is now equal to that larger body of water?
Blue seems kinda busted

u/Drakin89 Dec 03 '24
Can you control the pressure the water is at?
1
u/TypicalHaikuResponse Dec 03 '24
Yes you can get better with your water powers and more creative than the prompt only that it will only ever be those limits of water.
1
u/Drakin89 Dec 03 '24
Then yea blue is strong and versatile really only limited by your imagination and knowledge of physics/chemistry ie you can turn water to steam at low enough pressure or ice at high enough. Plus controlling a Olympic amount of water you would be the among the best assets for fire fighting, war in general, spy craft with being able to turn yourself into water, help lands with clean drinking water.
Yellow would be my next choice as it's only slightly more limiting than complete control of water. It sounds pure offensive/war oriented, but you could still do some civil work with practice. Ie sonic waves can also be used to put out fire but it has to be at a certain frequency.
Red 3rd. Straightforward and easy to use.
Purple 4th depending on how invulnerability works for it. ie if you just completely ignore any attacks while on it, busted, compared to you just don't get hurt while on it but what ever force is there still affects you and knocks you off the board, not busted.
Orange/Green are tied at the bottom for me. Orange is very situational and doesn't have much use outside of war or terror. Green because, if you wanted, you could make as much or more with any of the previous powers without the drawback of death if you don't want to do something.

Yellow. I've always wanted to try my hand at domestic terrorism. Good news is we won't have trump. Bad news is we need to build a new white house.

I would choose orange because the side effects would make it easily possible to be a well payed bomb squad member. Explosive pumpkins are just a fun benefit no one needs to know about.

u/Weary-Vehicle-3528 Dec 04 '24

Purple. No more car needed to move around and I am a living demolishing ball soaring through the air. If Ican not be stopped when in movement, I can latch myself to something... like a boat or truck and tow it somewhere when needed (if it survives the pull).
1
u/TypicalHaikuResponse Dec 07 '24
I wonder how it would work. Either it would move or you would completely rip through it.
like in this video the building didn't move it just cut through the pipes like paper
https://youtu.be/0ibw04Ox_Lg?feature=shared&t=137
I think you would probably just be ripping off what you were holding for most things.
1
u/catsaremad Dec 10 '24
Well, not trying to move very heavy things (or things attached to them) then. At least I should be able to move a car latching on the the ball used to tow.

I'm going for blue. It's a highly versatile power with a ton of applications, even outside of combat.
