What would happen if someone in our world just gained the ability to heal any human with a touch? Genetic disorders, missing limbs, cancer, mental disorders, severe blood loss, diseases, suffocation, and anything that isn't death. I'm world building for a supers game and the first superhuman ever discovered is a healer. The next superhuman doesn't make a public appearance for six months after this one.
>Political impact?
>Social impact?
>Will super secret organization kill everyone and kidnap the dude for experimentation?

Also supers general

>>49777831
Probably persuaded to spend all their time curing people.
>>
>>49777831
Probably would be contained or covered up by the government. If not that, probably the same but with a large corporation.
>>
>>49777831
Government that discovered it first would kidnap said person and either use for their own purposes, basically making them a slave, or if they feel confident, disect said person, and hail new "medical breakthrus" for their countries benefits, including their soldiers.

Then every other government in the world would espionage the shit out of them for the secrets or, failing that, outright attack them for them.

Can they cure homosexuality?

>>49777831
News media passes them off as just another faith healer, they inexpicably vanish a few days later.
>>
>>49777831
Wait, just healing? Yeah, probably kidnapping and experimentation. But if it's Panacea with crazy-ass touch-range complete biokinesis who's only using it for healing until she gets pushed too far, well, things get more interesting. Which could be a good way to start if you want to have supers hated and reviled. If you want to start on a more hopeful tone, you want to kick things off with a Superman or Alexandria.

>>49777831
Murdered for coming too late and letting little Jimmy die.
>>
>>49777831
Chances are this person would become way too well-known too quickly for any government to black bag them unless they're intentionally trying to remain hidden. Also there is little reason for experimentation or dissection as they'd get far more information from a living person.

Daisy, from Misfits (episode 6 of season 2)
she ends up being killed by cheese guy

Seems like this person could easily get shown over the entire internet in an afternoon if they came out right and making them immune to being disappeared.
Examples:
>They did it at a school during lunch and healed like two dozen people while on fifty different videos each sent to about 3 different sites.
>visits a few hospitals in one afternoon and empties them while bringing along a few patients.
>His healing touch returns a person to their "prime" which also means they'd rapidly shed excess fat cells through urination or just disappear.
>A celebrity see's it and decides to tweet it to their 1m+ followers.
>He goes to a wounded veterans support group and gets a very group of prior soldiers to keep him from disappearing overnight.

The last guy who would go around healing people with god-like powers ended kinda bad.
>>
>>49777831
>What would happen

They would be killed. If not by the religious people seeing them as an Antichrist/devil figure then by the scientists who want to dissect them. If not by the scientists then by the politicians who use them as a scape goat. If not by the politicians then by the pharma companies who see them as a threat to profits. If not by the the pharma companies then by Tumblr as soon as someone asks him/her to 'cure' gender dysphoria or homosexuality
>>
>>49780848
If not by Tumblr then by the government's fighting over controlling them. If not by governments then by a lone gunman looking to get famous. If not by a lone gunman then by the next super, who wants to be numero uno. If not by the next hero, then by the first villain. If not by the first villain, then by the aliens who caused all this in the first place.

I hope they can, purely to see the shitstorm that results from it. SJW would probably call him literally worse than Hitler even though he's curing cancer and regenerating limbs left and right.

>People who think a man with the power to heal anybody born in a first world nation would suddenly "disappear" in the middle of the night by some three-letter, spookfest agency.

I shiggy diggy.

You guys know how ridiculous that sounds? Do you know how much money, time, and effort would need to be put into abducting you from your home without risking massive collateral if some random, unpredictable act of God skewed all their plans?

What WOULD most likely happen is
>Govt finds out about your powers
>Either you use it in public, someone sees you using it, you get tattled on, the gov was spying on you
>They send you some sort of grant, or otherwise some other incentive to get you to work for them
>They make DAMN well sure you don't go to the Chinese or something by treating you very, very nicely
>They get you to do small, usually innocent tests ("I'm going to cut myself, now try and heal me through this lead-lined wall")
>Eventually, you'd have spent so much time with them and developed so many close bonds with these doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, etc, that it's only natural that you take up a job working for them when you're older
>You live life relatively "normally"
>You go shopping, you go on dates, you get stuck in traffic
>It's just that your 9/5 bleeds into your 24/7 quite regularly
>On your free time, you probably visit children's hospitals and spend some time with them; even the ones that you've already saved
>You follow firetrucks to make sure everybody's okay
>You do this, not because the government is literally forcing you to, but just because it's what you've grown up with, and it's who you've become
>Maybe you're even studying now
>You've decided to go into medicine

That's probably what would likely happen.

Shawn Ferrel is the exact character is talking about. In The 4400 people are abducted from their surroundings over the course of seven or eight decades, given powers via unlocking the production of a new neurotransmitter, and dumped on the shore of a lake in Washington by a big ball of light in 2003. Shawn is a normal, albeit handsome, high school student who gets sucked up into the schemes of an egomaniac member of the 4400 and subsequently becomes the leader of a third of the people with powers when the egomaniac dies/vanishes. He goes from being a bit of a dipshit to being a decent person to being an inexperienced, decent leader in a short span of time.

>Panacea, Alexandria

The fuck are you on about?
>>
>>49783066
I'm with this anon. You could have MIB's abduct and dissect the poor super if that's the kind of world you want to make, but I just don't see that grimdarkness. A healing super would probably be very well liked and in demand, unless they are a total asshole who demands enormous fees for their services or only heals KKK members. Certainly, a jerk healer leveraging their power to riches and celebrity could be fun.
>>
>>49783066
I'd say something like this. The government isn't just going to shadow you away into a black bag. You have magical powers, they're going to try and keep you content and working for them.

If you reveal it in public on a grand scale or otherwise, you're probably going to end up with a big government check for just staying in the country and treating the terminally ill, rather than going to china and curing all the lung disease or something.

They won't risk you in a combat site. You might get a bodyguard or something to make sure you aren't killed, though with healing powers as long as you keep a hand on yourself at all times that's going to be tricky since most things won't kill you instantly.

The government doesn't have much motive to keep you a total secret, and even if they do they will want to stay on your good side, since they have no way of knowing if your sudden healing powers will be able to somehow turn into or be used as killing powers.

Better to have the superpowered weirdo content and friendly rather than holding a grudge.

That's only if every scientist acts like a coldly calculating tool. Which, if you knew anything about modern science, is so far outside the norm that they're generally considered psychopaths if they do that.

Start a cult?
Seriously you could say you are Jesus and lead an entire religion of zealots. With six months and a healing ability I could create a nice little religion and maybe get some shit straightened out.

I don't understand. Ask any group of 100 citizens from any nation-state, and you'll find that 20-30 distrust or hate their governments. So why are Anarchist political parties so rare and, when they exist, ineffectual? At most, it's just Socialists or Communists advocating for greater state control and what-not. I just don't get it.
>>
>>49789089
m8, these people distrust the *current* government and just want other people in charge.
>>
>>49789161
But everyone, always, distrusts the *current* government is the issue. Even in the 20s-80s people had issues with their government on a wide variety of issues. Has there ever been a people who felt satisfied by those representing them?
>>
>>49789089
>So why are Anarchist political parties so rare and, when they exist, ineffectual?
Because most people realise that anarchism can't function on the national level.

I imagine this would have a /lot/ of negative continuations, depending and what you process the healing takes.

>>49785964
Its from a superhero web serial called Worm.
Alexandria is basically a Superman expy.
Panacea can manipulate biology, but since biokinetics are feared in the setting, she just tells everyone she has healing hands and spends most of her time in a hospital.
>>
We would most likely nail them to a cross.

More than likely you would get black bagged and thrown into solitary and used as a lab rat. You would be forced to cure rich billionaires of their terminal illness and they would try to find a way to use you to make them immortal.

They wouldn't want you curing cancer or aids when people are willing to spend billions on treatments that only prolong their life.

You might end up having to do sick shit like heal a little girls hymen or internal bleeding after she got raped.

The world hates a freak.
>>
>>49791226
congratulations.

You can no longer trust anybody. Every stranger is a potential threat, every friend a potential informant. Most people are too scared to follow you or disobey the law and most would rather rat you out than spend a single minute in prison.
>>
Just an FYI, your healer would be
-Super strong. The healer can go beyond human limits. If a bone breaks, he can repair it instantly. He can easily reduce the cooldown time on working out to nil, he'd he able to compress a week's work of exercise in one day.
-Incredibly intelligent. Imagine the ability to never have your brain tire out. Imagine being able to study
-Almost immortal. Self-applied powers duh. And given that he can cure cancer, he doesn't have to worry about genetic aberrations at all, so no degenerative power
-Would always be ravenously hungry. The flesh to re-heal to come from somewhere. Although if he can respawn limbs, fuck having material to work with. So I guess he'd be massively ripped
-Be able to produce energy without respiration
-Be able to produce an infinite supply of oxygen
-Do fucking everything that Crazy Diamond can

Healing isn't just healing bro.

You have taken your first step on becoming the Man your warrior ancestors hoped you would become when they razed the inferior people they met. I have no more quarrel with you, not to the point of seeking you, and when we met we will fight and one of us will fall and die, but we will do so as warriors.
Go on, keep walking this path, burn all that you owns and weights you, abandon all those who convinced you that you needed them for they parasite you, do not care for those who refuse to care for themselves. Reach Heaven through Violence.

You're truly a symbol of the decadency and feminisation of our fallen world. You must be the kind of faggot who lays with women. Were I a lesser Man, I would seek to release you from your existence, but I just know you wouldn't survive long enough for me to reach you anyway, for you're weak, frail and unprepared for the Real World.
>>
>>49798630
So you only lay with men?
>>
>>49799261
Ideally, one shall lay with anyone, period. Real White Men of True Warrior Ethic have an immortal soul, which means they actually live for ever. Mortality is a lie and sin inflicted on us by the (((Jews))) with their False Testament of False Christianity and CIA MK-ULTRA mind-influence techniques. When you accept (((Lies))), you become mortal and require reproduction. Real Men live for ever as long as they follow a true warrior ethic, and engaging in the sin of reproduction is the first step to mortality.

Of course, real White Men with a true soul and so a potential for eternity are rarer and rarer as they are mingled with animals and alien invaders (like black "people", asian "people", "natives", (((Jews))), Muslims and Walloons), reproduction is all but inevitable for most "people", I guess. In which case, it is extremely preferable to practice it between Men of signifiant manliness to not let oneself being tainted by femininity. Plus, it pisses off the (((Jews))) and (((SJW))) that you don't buy into their psycho-linguistic lie that "women" are anything more than a Tumblr gender that was declared "equal" to Manliness in 1985. Women have always been a mere genetic anomaly, a minor disease of the blood that represent at best 10% of humanity, not the claimed 51%. They never were necessary for reproduction.
