Can you do the trick from the movie and turn back time?
You can, but you turn back time to before you were Superman, but still moving that speed, so you just atomize.
That still has a lot of possibilities :). Just rinse and repeat til you get everything right. A groundhog Day with superman powers hmmm.
Enact land reform and nationalisation of resources in countries that want it.
Help with infra development.
If super intellect is available, then fusion, vaccines and similar stuff. Also setting up some cheap manufacturing of medicines.
Stop wars non violently by disarming all parties involved. I know, they'll arm up again after the 48 hours but all I need to do to protect myself is get a haircut and fake glasses.
Fly everywhere. I'm having breakfast in Paris, lunch in Cairo, and dinner in Kyoto, and checking out a bunch of other places in between. Also doing approximately all of the cocaine so I can stay awake for the whole thing.
Put my dog on my back and fly around the world with her!
(then when she's sleeping happily I start punching billionaires)
Figure out if I’d be more haunted by my actions as a temporary world superpower, and watching the status quo return very quickly afterward, or more haunted by all the things I could have done and didn’t. Sit pondering that for 48 hours.
Lemmy has some good ideas.
I'll finish my house, clear out the old tree debris, and complete all the physical work I've planned for years to come.
-
Use x-ray vision to microwave a hot pocket
-
Fly to work to avoid traffic
-
Use super strength to pull lawnmower start cord since its always such a pain to start
Probably watch a bunch of tv shows and fall asleep, if it lands on a weekend.
Probably do some miracles on national tv and populated areas, then create a new book club. Create sanctuaries for book study groups. Assign leaders across the world from those who protect the people.
This time the book is written using formal logic so it’s impossible to misunderstand and pick and choose what you want to follow. It only provides a logic framework of being kind and empathetic to others, respecting their rights(and what rights are), and consent, etc. This time the book will be timeless with no contradictions.
Then kindly “convince” a couple of billionaires and world leaders to donate 99.9% of their wealth to the new cause. 48 hours are too short to change the world for good. But you can kickstart a brilliant process towards a great future.
You know that one scene in season 1 of invincible where Omni man is on that alien planet? Basically that.
I'm already going to a kid amusement park tomorrow, so I guess I would just be the coolest dad there.
I'd sleep the two days, nobody would mess with me.
I have some rewrites I'd like to make to the US constitution.
Oh, bless your heart. Thinking that the Constitution has any sway whatsoever in 2025.
That's where I'll need to flex my con artist muscles.
