Probably DC Comics. And it depends what my role in this universe would be. But knowing my luck I'd just be a random civilian that gets wiped out during the latest rampage by Atomic Skull or something. But at least everything gets reset every few years, so that I could live again to be super villain fodder another day.

Hard to say my favorite fictional verse, but let's say Mega Man.

Since I'm not a robot, let alone say Mega Man or Zero or other protagonist, I'm pretty much either going to live a boring ordinary life or I'm going to live an interesting life in a bad way.

Unfortunately if that were the case we are still many years from discovering the Epstein drive. Still having to deal with the oligarchy and shit conditions unless you are the 1%

My favorite fiction still isn't good for most people, Hard Sci Fi.

If only he'd had a little more time to continue his research.

is a regular joe on the dead planet of "consider phlebas" pre-extinction;
dies of the plague that wipes out the entire life of the planet, never getting to know about the culture.

For selfish reasons, I'd pick Love and Deepspace so I can frolick through time and space with 5 (soon to be 6) different boyfriends, hunting wanderers with superpowers.

Spira would be okay as long as I avoid living anywhere Sin would attack.

Love to be governed by an undead theocracy that persists through the deliberate cycling of apocolyptic events, because they've got 3D underwater volleyball in the capital.

You know, I definitely didn't even think about that.

Showing up in Midgard just in time for the Plate in Sector 7 to collapse on my head.

40K is actually a brighter universe than our real life one. The Emperor might just win and make some sort of heaven on Terra for humanity, becoming a techpriest can make you immortal, there is an actual afterlife and source of free energy.

Meanwhile, we are doomed to be captured and tortured by Rocko's Basilisk in real life, and the universe is doomed to repeat in cruel cycles.

We have been here before.
