18 Again: Another Time Travelling Thought Experiment

Imagine, if you will, that you could go back in time to when you were 18. It would be the same year you were originally 18, and you'd be physically 18 again, you retain all of your memories, and you can look like anyone you want to. You can bring with you the following:

• A sum of money functionally indistinguishable from infinite (In the form of a bank card that works on ATMs in the past)
• One personal possession you now own, as long as you are able to carry it in one hand. Note that any containers will arrive in the past empty. This means any papers, hard disks, flash, magnetic, or optical media etc. will arrive blank. Be sure to memorize the PIN for your infiBank card before you leave. You can still write down whatever future events you remember upon your arrival in the past.
• One superpower used by an existing fictional character who was written at any point prior to May 4, 2013 00:00 GMT

Here's the catch: If you interact with, or influence the lives of, your past self or anyone you presently know before time catches up with the present, you will thereby destroy the universe. As such, you are able to control the location in the past in which you will arrive in order that you can avoid creating a universe-destroying paradox by blundering into someone you know.

My questions are as follows:

• Who or what do you look like?
• Where do you land?
• What year was it when you were 18?
• What superpower do you have?
• What personal possession do you take?
• What celebrity do you attempt to smurf?

Feel free to fill in anything else you'd do but I don't actually care about anything that's not on the list.

Please note that this thread will have one and only one winner.

EDIT: Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: When you arrive in the past, you will be permanently transformed into a centaur. You can't use your superpower to change your shape, it won't work, not even temporarily. Any superpower use that doesn't involve de-centaur-ising yourself is still valid. Also, you're immortal.

EDIT2: Whoops, this was supposed to be in EoEO.

- I would look the same just taller, because I got tired of people referring to me as the short one all throughout school minus college. I don't actually mind being 5'1'', but I hate being labeled as anything. Part of the reason why I like being racially indistinguishable is because no one can label me as anything because they're not even sure. Good, keep it that way.

-I'd land in some place hot and tropical. I don't even care where it just needs to not be cold ever.

-2008 which was a horrid year of awkwardness and uncertainty.

Oh wait never mind I see that I'd be immortal there is no way I'd ever choose being immortally 18. smurf that noise.

But being a centaur forever is fine?

Yeah sure, why not. I can stomp people with my hooves.

No, I don't want to be a centaur forever. What the smurf is this trout Bleys?

Bleys go home you're drunk

But you'd look majestic and hooves!

Dude, you're totally drunk.

So, you can look exactly like anyone you want to as long as that person looks exactly like a centaur?

Stopped reading at forever a centaur

this is a dumb experiment

This was actually kind of cool, and I was gonna play along.


Until I read I'd be a smurfing centaur.

I thought I'd be the only one who couldn't take this thread seriously because of the centaur thing :monster:

If I was going to be forced to be a centaur forever why the hell would I look like anyone I like? "Oh I know I'm going to look like Orlando Bloom if he had a horses body..." wtf.

That being said Bleys, I wouldn't smurf a celebrity, even if I could, being a centaur with a massive horses member I would presently find yourself, and teach you exactly why this thread was a bad idea.
