New Pill comes out that has 50/50 shot of giving you a super power or outright killing you. Would you take it?

Would you do it?

I dabbled with making it 70/30 give powers or kill you, but thought let's just make it an even spread. Would you take the risk?

The powers you got would be guaranteed to be a good one: Flight, invisibility, immortality, etc. Nothing like: the power of perfect breath always or some bullshit like that.

You pop the pill you either get permanent powers or death. Would you risk it? I would go with yes.
 
I've done more for promises of less

I doubt many people with kids would take the chance.

Now if we were talking 8 years ago? Sure why not. Throw a big party the day before, tell everyone I love them. Then I either had one hell of a send off or I have some cool new ability.
 
Probably not. 50% of death is a pretty big drawback.

Honestly, only reason I would want to risk that would probably be in the event that the people with super powers were evil fuckers, and you basically needed some form of super power as a means of self defense
 
Thinking about this it would create a very fucked scenario because you'd realistically not be a first adopter so there would already be several people going about with thier super powers. A divide and hierarchy would form and any people that don't have powers would be at the bottom. So basically you'd be forced into taking the coin flip so you're not a second class citizen.

It's kind of like how most used to die at childbirth or while an infant. The pill would be the new birthing filter. Basically if you survive the pill you've passed childbirth. The ones that die from the pill would be seen similarly to how we view a miscarriage or stillborn.
 
Someone watched Project Power.

I'd take it at 40. I feel I would have experienced most of the things life has to offer by then. No loss then.
I hope I become Flash, Thor or Spiderman.
 
China would just send 50.000 people to take the pill to create a superhuman army and then attack other countries.

Western countries would be like "Are you stupid, why should i risk my life?"

I would take the pill. Life sucks anyway and maybe i get a power that lets me change the whole world. ;)

Is it called the "THANOS PILL"?

I kinda risk my life or life changing injuries during some work operations with a shitty payout already, i would probably try this magic pill.

But the powers pool has to be good, stuff like super strenght or speed or telecynesis or invisibility, not stuff like "he can produce glue from his hands" et similia.

I read the fine print. There's a 95% chance you just gain a tentacle penis.
 
I pressed nah, meant yes though.

Hopefully death is immediate and painless if that's the result. I'd prefer a superpower though. Is intangibility pr something similar a possibility??
 
If there was just one pill in existence then no. But assuming this is available to everyone then not taking the pill and living in a world as a normal person with 1000s of assholes with super powers would be a death sentence anyway, may as well roll the dice.
 
Saw this on Netflix the other day. So in your scenario, are superpowers permanent or temporary?

And yes, I'd take it. All I'm doing is working and waiting to die anyway. I figure if I don't have to work another 30 years it's a win/win either way.
 
I'd attempt to destroy every last one of those pills as anyone who's insane enough to take those chances is not to be trusted with their powers.
edit: to do good.
edit2: I'd expect The Boys' type of situation with a steady stream of unchecked "supers".
