In Our World Today, If You Had The Chance, Would You Actually Be Spiderman?

It is every kid's dream to be Spiderman, but if you had his powers in today's society, would you actually be the iconic web slinger?

I would definitely accept the power.

The responsibility, however.....

**Xenon** · 09-09-2011, 11:30 PM

So...would I want to be super strong, super agile, precognition, and the ability to stick to things so I never drop anything else ever again?

Yes?

Bonus if you get the organic webbing, because I think swinging along like that would be amazing.

Superheroics are another matter entirely. The real reason no one's a vigilante in the real world is that there's simply not enough "important" crime to justify spending every night out looking for people to beat up. I'm not going waste five hours wandering the city looking for a guy that MIGHT get mugged. And most murders happen in the home! Can't find that. <_<

Not to mention, the whole vigilante thing? Highly illegal. Tony Stark was Right.

I'd rather not spend a good chunk of my life looking over my shoulder for the villain of the week to throw a loved one off a bridge.

**preppistonpav** · 09-10-2011, 06:56 AM

Um...yes please?

Essentially, I'd be getting the best powerset in all of comics - Superman can suck it - in a world in which NOBODY ELSE has super powers.

Where do I sign up?

-Pav, who would DEFINITELY use his great power responsibly.....and sometimes for personal gain as well....

Hell no. I wouldn't mind the power set. But unless you're referring to "early TV personality Spider-Man," absolutely no way. I have these things called a "life" and a "career" that I enjoy and would like to keep.

**Kevin Nichols** · 09-10-2011, 07:55 AM

Nope. Spidey is totally my favorite hero, but why take Spidey's power set when you could have Superman's?

**Mister Mets** · 09-10-2011, 01:14 PM

I would certainly accept the power.

And consider contributing to the economy in these difficult times to be my responsibility.

**carabas** · 09-10-2011, 01:19 PM

Eh, no. Even if I chose to become a superhero, I'd pick something less icky than "Spider-Man" to call myself.

**archash** · 09-10-2011, 01:44 PM

I would love to have the proportionate strength and speed of a spider.

I'd also like to gain the ability to attract super models/hot girls to be my wife/girlfriend. But I can already do that so just gimme that spider-power set!

**AXL** · 09-10-2011, 02:28 PM

I'd love to have his powers. Maybe I can visit New York for a second...

Anyway, yeah his power set would be cool to have. The constant villains & death threats to family & friends? Not so much.

**Jer** · 09-10-2011, 03:16 PM

The powers yes. Choosing to be a super hero however ... um no. I would use that power a much much better way, getting laid and getting lots and lots of money.

First you get the money, then you get the power then you get the girl. Words to live by.
