Now lets say, through science, magic, or Divine intervention, nothing can contain you, or cause you permanent or crippling injury. No other powers or abilities. You may Use only modern-day technology to augment yourself.

You are the most powerful human being on the face of the planet because you can't be gotten rid of.


Build castles in the air! Criticize each other! "Borrow" from each other!

Use your invulnerability to change the world as much or as little as you want. Tell us how you would do so!

Rule the world! Contemplate life from the bottom of the sea!

How is this a debate? Someone is bound to Disagree with what you do or how you do it.

I hope this will be rather fun.
Make all of your responses polite.

I'm rather frazzled from making the rules of this exercise. I've got a few notions. I will think of something later.

Hmmm... sound sorta like "The Juggernaut."

I guess I wouldn't do all that much. I would walk right into the White House, go into the Oval Office, sit down on one of the sofa's, eat one of the little candy's on the silver platter, and tell the President "Sign me up for all the top-secret-human-DNA-altering-super-solder experiments that the government "doesn't" have!" All without even stopping to react to the CIA/FBI/Secret Service guys shooting at me.

Laugh maniacally and use my abilities to single-handedly create a pseudo-nazi dictatorship which dominates the entire earth and live out the remainder of my days as supreme exalted overlord of the world and all I survey... Except Scotland, all-powerful being don't frighten the scottish...

It would be quite fun to walk up to the white house and proclaim my self King of The United States of America! They try to arrest me and the handcuffs would just fall off. They would grab me and I would always be able to slip free.

Personally I would like every weapon to inexplicably break or jam each and every time someone tried to use one on me. It would be more impressive, and the looks of disbelief would be priceless. Put me in a cell, and the hinges fall off, or the lock, or the latch just won't catch. If they chose to ignore me I'm sure I could find a job easily; clearing mine fields, the bomb squad, ambassador to a hostile country. Once I had enough money I could do what ever I want. I could also be Robin Hood if I chose. Though I would need tools for safe cracking since my "power" only works to get me out of places, not into places.

So, nothing can contain me, and nothing can harm me?

So what that means is no one can tie me up, arrest me, attack me and harm me; huh, not bad.

I suppose one useful thing I could do would be to go to neighborhoods with high rates of crime and try and aid the police forces there. Or I could apply to enter the National Guard so that I could help those trapped in earthquakes, as nothing could trap or harm me.

Basically, what leaps to mind is a lot of bodyguard-type ideas.

Looking back this specific set of powers provides a great personal freedom. One is immune to the most harsh punishments in this case. Thinking about it, how far would it go, in the way that I have worded things? The no harm clause might mean you didn't need shelter or clothing at all.
Further, would you be capable of starving to death? Does eating then become a luxury? Remember nothing can cause you harm your own body wouldn't be allowed to absorb muscle past a certain point otherwise the both clauses kick in. On the other hand my previous post made both clauses sound like having permanent good fortune(health wise), in which case you would always find enough food to keep going.

Well, the power of "no harm" is very vague and is basically a combination of "anti-age", "steel skin", "breath all", "regeneration", or "extreme luck." Of course, "no harm" can be defined as having your body stay in the same state that it is in when you receive the power, that is that you can't build/lose any muscle mass, nor become hungry/full, thirsty/quenched, or have any new tattoos/piercings.

In that light, one could enter, say, volcanoes, tornadoes, and bring back valuable data that scientists might not have been able to gather.

If you're this indestructible you wouldn't feel pain, and if you feel no pain, would it really be masochism?



I personally feel that I would want to rob a bank movie-style just for the experience. I'd just break-in to see the vault...like a forced guided tour...and then I'd steal one of those pens tied up to the counters, because it's something I've never been able to do.

This would probably lead to me becoming the world's most famous trespasser. I wouldn't take anything, but I'd break into the Louvre just because...and the Vatican...and the white house. Just sit at the end of the bed...president wakes up...pinch his cheeks and tell him he's cute and then leave. I think that these events would lead people to question what the hell is wrong with me and that would be more amusing then buying stuff with stolen money.

I think one may not ever learn to have humility about some things. Some types of relaxation that only a normal human can have. To know you are weak against others but still have faith. Its a very different position to be in. Not necessarily worse or less enjoyable to be just human. I mean what if we do not want to care about what others think about our powers. How exciting will life be if we can just always run away or had nothing to harm us? Where is the sense of adventure? Isn't that a more boring life?

I think I would try to keep what I could do to myself. And use what I have to help people, in positive ways that I can mimic, by watching others. When I see someone doing something good, I would try to do something good for that person.

Or just try to do what I could to make the world a better place, but try not to let it go to my head. And of course anyone could say that they would do that, but hey this is my response.

My career learning right now is learning how small children learn and seeing the world through their eyes. Perhaps I could use the way they see things to form the environment for others, try to have it change, as there is seasons. Try to make things explorable, but always new and inspiring to their senses.

How would I do that? Well, the same way that I learn from children now, and I suppose I'd have a more in depth answer, if I had those abilities and could actually put said challenge into effect.

That would be cool...

I think I would... reform the Misfits from the 77-83 lineups, form a band and go on tour with Lordi, Misfits, Rammstein, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian Manowar and a few others... Hmm... Do some Boondock Saints styled stuff... I think spend some time in monastaries learning how to sing in the seven note scales of Gregorian chanting... Nothing necessarily too detrimental to mankind I wouldn't think.

Go and see the world; climb Mt. Everest naked, throw a super bouncy ball off the pyramids, box a kangaroo, jump off the Empire State Building, eat pop-rocks and coke at the same time. Stuff like that.
