I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


At least they're smarter than the fuckers on Smallville who use abilities like super-gardening to vengefully murder people who didn't really do anything.

I know that's the first thing I'd do if I could magically make crops grow in like 30 seconds.

Can I just mention how I love that Ghost Rider doesn't even actually punish the guy? He just splashes him with his own water demon and peels out laughing.

Also that looks like it's from one of the Essential Ghost Rider collections, can't say which one though.

Being completely fair if you couldn't defend yourself publicly revealing that you can grow crops is a one-way ticket to the bottom of a G-Men bunker growing an inexhaustible supply chain for our boys overseas.

More superhero comics should end with the hero just clowning the villain and then leaving while they feel sorry for themselves.

Honestly if you could make any plant or fungus grow at super speeds you'd already have a defense mechanism right there, human beings are constantly in a wash of different fungal spores depending on the environment around them. All it would take is the right bloom in somebody's lungs and they're down. If you could stimulate the growth of yeast and food bacteria cultures it would be even worse (also you could make a killing in the cheese and yogurt industry).

Or you could go down to Brazil and make the jungle regrow right underneath the bulldozers. That would kick rear end, especially if you could make the trees grow fast enough to launch the dozers.

On the list of comic book cliches to deconstruct, has anyone done a plot where the government wants to take someone in for their mysterious powers and the person in question is patriotic and takes the long view so the underground bunker project actually works out, resulting in some huge new breakthrough or advantage? Modern-day conspiracy plots feature destroyed secret labs so often that it'd be refreshing for even one such project to actually work out, and a rescue attempt that ends in the prisoner saying "What? No, harnessing my plant-growing abilities to revitalize domestic agriculture is for the greater good" might also be nice.

nah, generally if the government gets ahold of someone with super powers they always try to make them into a weapon. i can't say that's terribly implausible, either.

In Rising Stars, there was a lady who had telekinesis, but could only use it on very small things. So she had a career assassinating people by squeezing their blood vessels shut. Then as a last grand gesture, she :handwave::handwave::handwave: made the Middle East fertile instead of a desert, and I think that caused everybody to like each other.

Strong Female Protagonist had a girl with a healing factor who decided that becoming a permanent organ donor was a better use of her talents than getting in fights with costumed lunatics. Unfortunately her healing factor also neutralized any anesthetics used during the operations.
