If there was a 'superman' would you kill him?

Assuming a superman-type person emerges and you have the chance to dispose of him (highly hypothetical) would you? Also assume there are no repercussions for the murder and you only have a day to decide so you can't see how the superman acts. Would you kill it in order to save humanity from a potentially indestructible killing machine? Or instead hope it turns into a good guy and benefits the world? The decision is yours... So what would you do?

Yes, I would

If I had I chance to, sure. If someone who is more advanced than I could ever be has the power to control my life and/or take over the world, killing him would be the best option. For one thing, he would suceptible to manipulation, so evil could influence him. Second, I would feel threatened to know that someone is out there who is technically above the law and therefore free to do whatever he wants.

Side: Yes, I would

Why take the risk of destruction of humanity? You can't miss what you never had anyway, so the thought of "What if" would fizzle out rather quickly. Plus, how awesome would it be to say you killed Superman? You'd be like Chuck Norris on Red Bull.

I'm not sure where I could get my hands on some kryptonite. Even if I could, I'd probably be to lazy to leave my library to kill him.

I would not kill him. I would tell him that he needs to be a hero in the city and needs to protect the city from crime and not destroy it.

But what are the chances of him actually taking your advice and listening to you?

Side: Yes, I would

No I wouldn't and I also would not expect him nor want him to register or be part of an organization. If you read comics, I was anti-registration in the Marvel civil war. When you are part of an organization too much politics/corruption can get involved. As freelance, it's all about what you believe is right. Now yes, Superman CAN go evil, but that's why there's kryptonite. Weaponize it, then take him down should he ever choose evil, but as long as he fights for good, let him do his job unfettered by politics. But as far as killing him right off the bat as a pre-emptive strike because of "what if" scenarios I think that is strongly unneccessary.

Side: No, I wouldn't

Why would you want to do that for? But that would be interesting..

Side: No, I wouldn't

I would not want to kill anyone. I am an optimist and I think a Superman can do plenty of good.

Side: No, I wouldn't
