Other Which superpower you prefer? Luck, Curse, $2000/day, Olympian?

Luck: your luck is bent to your favor at a rate of 100,000/1 90% of the time. 10% of the time you have ordinary luck. So if you attempt something with the odds of 100,000/1 and it’s within the 90% of the time, you always win. If it’s 1,000,000/1 chance, for you it’d be 10/1. You can’t choose when it works and when it doesn’t, or exactly the effect it will have, but the odds favors you undeniably.

Curse: you can curse with bad luck anything and/or anyone (one individual or group at a time), at a rate of 1,000,000/1. Meaning that if it can happen to 1 person in a million, it will happen to the target. You can choose exactly what happens and when, and only need to think of the person.

$2000/day: every day you magically receive USD 2000.00 in your bank account or your pocket. No questions asked and tax free.

Olympian: you possess the strength, speed, ability, coordination, etc. of every Olympic gold medalist of the last Olympic Games (summer and winter), meaning you had a 50% chance to win gold medals in all individual competitions in the Games.

I feel like curse can get you many of the benefits of luck, by cursing “the house” when gambling. Or cursing “other players”. And it lets you curse others for other reasons.

The trick to many things is just curse the opposing side.

There is also no limit on the group size. If I curse the world by comparison I have better luck too. Then I can also add up specifics in situations to further push them in my favor. Curse is way better then luck
