What maketh us

i was recently watching this program

i was left with many questions and themes

the episode was called planet of doom for any of you out there who would like to check the source

and aside from touching on time travel
and the implications
and the nit pickings of said mode of transport


it got me thinking on what maketh us

and it was explored through the medium of possible worlds
but it got me thinking what makes us
and without going to much into the butterfly effect

 how much would or could an effect have on us
like imagine if we went to different schools lived in an adjacent house
or area
how profound might that be

but also another thing that was brought up
was that knowledge is power
though many people think it is money
but yes knowledge is power
and
in the episode doom

who has turned the statue of liberty into a statue of himself in this other time stream
has gone back in time
and used his fore knowledge
to make sure the hulk never becomes so
and tony stark never becomes iron man
and he has them actually working for him to have dominion over the world


and he surmises that the power maketh the man not the man maketh the powers
and without their powers they are just human

and his worry is thor one because he has power but he also has the same knowledge as he
since he was outside of the time reversal

but he has been preparing for him

and if we step outside of the marvel universe for a minute

might that be perhaps a similar scenario for us
not the time travel bit
but being uprooted from knowledge
and therefore our power

and without knowledge we can see the scales could be turned
like lions being synonymous with coward
or africa with a dearth of history knowledge or wealth

and even in the episode
you saw doom wearing a modified suit made for him by iron man
yet iron man did not have a suit

and he made bruce banner
fear the element that would make him the powerful hulk


and that knowledge is power he even was present at some of the scenes of their victories
or gaining powers
and he stepped in as if he was saving them but it was quite the opposite

and it made me want to study history
but also question how else i could of ended up

for like captain america he kept him in the ice he was frozen in as a sculpture above his throne
akin to the story of damocles

but with the avengers who were not in servitude they were renegades
but muted to an extent

such as spider man was named slinger and he had no spider powers
but used machinery
and falcon was still a tech genius but his design was different
and hawkeye was the same but more serious than comedic

in the end the surmised the man maketh the powers

i will leave that for our deliberation
