I would have started way earlier. Would have more time to plan things and look out for opportunities to get more powers

I'd probably use that high intelligence to soak up all available knowledge in libraries and online. Also read up on thesis and lookup patents for inspirations.

Use that knowledge to build a super computer, it's own OS and a non sentient AI. Use that to hack into companies and acquire, research centres to acquire knowledge that is not freely available online.

Build myself a armour suit, something of a cross between Ironman and black panther. Although I don't know unique metals like vibranium and adamantium etc in DC. I know Nth metal but don't know anyway to acquire it as easily as vibranium can be acquired in Marvel.

Etcetera

Mainly do things to acquire more knowledge. Because knowledge is power.

Also maybe keep an eye on future speedsters and try to emulate how they get the speed force. Or directly snatch their opportunities.

Although I'd go for emulating, because stopping them from getting their powers mught result in devastating consequences.

Might also try using the Speed force formula.

Hope u update soon :(

Oh I heard Magic Man, and I thought of Adventure Time...

Hope you add more

Murphy's law is in every universe

I love saving the world for his own self preservation

Love them laughing at his name

Interesting plan

Interesting

This is very well done, I can't wait for more :)

This story reeks of self-righteousness. After all the bravo in first chapter painting the protagonist as a truly grey character. Now he's completely heroic, no doubt about it - not even in the slightest tinge of anti-hero about him either. Whilst erratic characterisation should be expected in SI stories, this is a little too much.

If Superhuman Constitution puts you on Badmoms/Deathstrokes level you got scammed
Batmoms whole stick is being an unenhanced standard human and by superpower standards Deathstrokes "strength enhancement" is so minor it doesnt matter at all...
Those 2 characters are "supers" because of their skills not some nonexistent "Superhuman Constitution"

exactly the same situation i often see in Captain America stories while hes called a "supersoldier",
it is explicitly stated the the serum puts him at PEAK human in every measurable way NOT superhuman
hes "super" because hes as strong as the strongest man in the world WHILE being as fast as the fastest man in the world WHILE being as smart as the smartest man in the world WHILE...

Great story.

I like the chosen set of characters and the time setting. I like the theme and the tone of the story very much.

I love the character portrayals, the little details into keeping things consistent and referring the already established DC Universe.

I find the way Magic Man deals with his problems and his attitude towards other people nice to read.

Shame you've lost your muse though. What is troubling you?

I'd love to say things that would actually help you write better, but I can't find any. Thank you for writing all these ideas in one story.

Bad? No, I love this story
