It&#8217;s only on ep 6 or so, but it&#8217;s superhero\/power based. Anything about that topic draws me in, so Maybe I&#8217;m biased.<\/p>\n<p>One of the characters is Hiro (pun intended) has the ability to bend space and time. He&#8217;s my favorite character because he&#8217;s well written, and because these are the powers I would choose, if I Could choose. But if I had his abilities&#8230; what would I DO?<\/p>\n<p>Would I go back just a few years and win the lottery? Would I go back at all? What if going back, meant losing the powers? After all, if the powers were caused by an internal mutation, by going back in time, and becoming temporally younger biologically, I could LOSE the powers&#8230; and if the actions I take in the past change the future, I may never reGAIN the powers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So what would I do? Would I go back and do more research in University so I could obtain my goals? Would I go back to High School and be a better student, to get into a better University? Perhaps I should go back to Junior High, and be less of a prick, a better son&#8230; I could go younger and be a better brother.<\/p>\n<p>But what if this meant that my Aunt never met my Uncle, and thus my Cousin was never born?<\/p>\n<p>I could go back and prevent 9\/11, or try.. but why stop there? Should I go back and stop WWII? or I? or should I go back and stop slavery? The amount of wrongs I could try and go back and put right would Never end. Also, as anyone that reads about time travel knows, attempts to right the past end up simply causing the same thing to occur, or worse!<\/p>\n<p>So in fact I would Never go back in time before the day I actually obtained the power. Any days beyond That however, are fair game.<\/p>\n<p>I would constantly keep a 5 minute look ahead to prevent my death. While the timestream should fluctuate exponentially the farther you look, I expect a 5 minute view to have at least in the upper 90th %ile.<\/p>\n<p>Next I would travel into the future and get technology unknown in our times. Weapons, medicines, computer&#8230; a wide assortment of things. Coming back into our time, I would begin by taking out drug lords and major but untouchable criminals.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you that have read\/seen Deathnote (a GREAT manga) I would be similar to Light. By stopping time it would be Quite simple to assassinate the people that are evil (imo). So long as I knew where they would be at some point, I would be able to simply assassinate them in an untraceable method. Also, being able to destroy drug factories as I found them would be a benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Of course traveling around with time frozen and &#8220;people maps&#8221; would be tedious and hard work. If possible, I would put together a group of people to help me.<\/p>\n<p>At no point would I tell anyone the truth about How I&#8217;m stopping time. I would explain the temporal manipulation as a technology that I developed. I would carry an odd looking remote control looking device, that I would manipulate whenever using my power. This performance and misdirection would be for my own safety. If any of my team was looking for the source of my power, they wouldn&#8217;t look to kidnap me before simply attempting to steal the device&#8230; or so I could hope.<\/p>\n<p>Tracking down Osama Bin Laden would be fun. Not for the reasons you might assume. Finding him will be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the people I want to get to would be hard to find&#8230; but the location of Everyone, is known by someone. I would start with the American intelligence agencies. I would leave notes on the desk of the heads of FBI, CIA, NSA and the President.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a moment where you look at your desk and a note is there offering death to your enemies if you simply make a map of where they are. All of these criminals have enemies that know where they are, but simply can&#8217;t reach them. I would give them the access they need.<\/p>\n<p>So after finding and killing all these criminals, what next?<\/p>\n<p>Only the future will tell, but the future tech that I brought back: the cures, the computers&#8230; the cars&#8230; I&#8217;d put it use.<\/p>\n<p>Btw, Osama Bin Laden? I&#8217;d interview him first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The show Heroes that has begun this season is quite good so far.
