    I’d repair the bikes of people with broken bikes who need their bike fixed so they can get on their repaired bikes and cycle off on their bike.

      If there was such a demihuman bike god, I would ride my bicycle more often. I just don’t want to have to maintain it and waste time of my life again because some dumbass broke a beer bottle on the street.

    Fly into space and reverse the Earth’s rotation. This way we travel back in time. I will the use my knowledge of the future to become like Lex Luthor.

            That’s just something he can do. Earth’s yellow sun gives him super powers, one of which is the ability to turn time backwards by reversing the spin of the Earth’s rotation!

              I thought that the earth rotated in reverse because from his perspective that is what time did, run in reverse?

              lets face it, turning back time makes all of his other powers unnecessary.

              zod attacks? hi back to yesterday and tell louis to put some kryptonite in their exact landing site and let the local law police take care of them.

              A volcano blows up a city, go a week in the past and tell them to evacuate…

                I’m not a superman expert, but my understanding is that he only did that in one movie. If so, it is correct to say that it is canonically one of his powers, but that doesn’t mean all versions of him have that power. If people talk about time traveling Superman they’re talking about the one that can do that.

    Get a little area where I would actually want to live.

    Carve out mountains to channel water to more areas, basically accelerate what Egypt is doing to spread the green lush from the Nile River.

    Make ideal spots for some cities, get a lot of gold out of the ground to prepare to buy the land

    Pour all the foundations of the buildings, build lines of rails for public transit and trains. Make sewer system and areas to transport water

    Just make it super easier for people to come and build/live there, and if I own it all I can avoid big corporations coming and pushing out growing businesses

    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.

        I look at it like this: if you’ve accumulated that much money AND have had time to use it to help others, and haven’t? Glub glub time.

        If you’ve suddenly stumbled into ludicrous wealth because a psychotic demigod drowned one of your forebears? Well, it’ll take at least 48 hours for you to put that money to more philanthropic use. I figure we can give those folks at least that much of a grace period to decide to be better.

        The next Superman can handle them if that’s not enough to change their attitude.

        And realistically, this would create so many power vacuums all at once that civilization would probably collapse overnight, but you can only get so realistic with superpower hypotheticals.
