How would civilization react if 35% of the world's population gained superpowers?

On a side note does anyone read "The Wild Card" series?!?!

I read the older ones myself, it kinda tailed off after the first couple of books.

there are a couple of interesting superpower animes- the To Aru series and Zettai Karen Children each deal with a Wild Cards-like world in some ways, but are less dark.

Pretty useful one right there, though it's guaranteed to result in a short lifespan.

Every single person here interested in "realistic" superheroes needs to read THE BOYS By Garth Ennis.

Note that it's not for the squeamish if blood and sex and violence worry you.

It's about what the real world would be like if superpowers existed.

Click for big for all of these, the thumbnailed ones are nws:

It's a dark, cynically REAL take on powers:


Doing Super-coke:

Super-harems:

Super-therapy visits:


Super-religious crises:


Super-crossovers!


And doing lots of other Super things because who can stop them?

Basically it's a depiction of what Superheroes would REALLY be like if they existed: Super-Celebrities.
 
Lol since I got it first and would obviously have better control of it than you would, I'd kill you before you got strong enough to kill me haaha

Biatch I control magnetism you control electromagnetism. I'm Magneto and you're Static Shock nuff said, you'll be lucky if I let you serve me breakfast in bed.
 
Too bad most people assume people with top tier powers would be grateful or even kind. Imagine someone like Rick Santorum with mind control? We'd all be having gay sex! Oh wait... that's not so bad~

I got "Powered Form" pretty awesome consider how much I like the mahou shoujo genre.

Go to the Superpower Wiki and hit random page. No cheating, first result is what you'll get.

I got Ground Liquification, fucking lame!

I got Time Jump ... Is a power where the user travels through time after jumping or falling from a height. A partial form of Time Travel.

Ok, not too shabby, could have some fun with that, could have been better. Like Dr Who, without a Tardis... How high do I have to jump? Can I just have a tanty and stamp my feet and time travel?

I think they may be mistaking "being damn sexy, baby" for having a superpower.
 
The top 10% would unite together and take over the world.
This and then a civil war among themselves on who controls what. What territory is theirs. A couple in the 10% would try to divide and conquer their adversaries so they can take it all for themselves. World would be destroyed as we know it due to greed and lust for more power. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
