Tiami is cool.
Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

Where does he say they don't exist in this scenario?
If I recall... he states..
Nightkill the Emperor wrote:Basically, here's this.

If Superman, Batman (Justice League) and Iron Man existed and all just went nuts, and decided to cooperate and kill everyone, could today's militaries take them down? And how many causalities would occur before they can be?

I believe we could take them down eventually, but the number of dead would be somewhere in the millions. Superman is insanely powerful and quite intelligent, Batman is Batman, and Iron Man has a lot of power behind him. Several countries would be laid to waste, but we could eventually beat them.

What say you?


Hmmm..
*scans OP's scenario several times*
I don't see it. :eyebrow:

Wow. :meh: I...I don't even know what to say. I don't think I've ever encountered someone so woefully blind.

Alright now we are back! All three are killed after causeing say, five billion plus deaths. The ragged remains of humanity revert to tribalism. Megacities form and Judges uphold the law.
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!

Except he couldn't. The OP stated that they were the end results of those origin stories, not that every single piece of those stories was intact. Do you people not understand hypothetical situations?
