Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about the role of AI computers in superhero quests lately, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

We’ve seen a ton of examples in comics where AI plays a crucial role—whether it’s Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. helping the Avengers or Batman’s Batcomputer analyzing clues faster than any human could. But there’s always this lingering tension: can we truly trust AI in these high-stakes situations?

Imagine this scenario: A superhero team is sent on a critical mission to stop a global catastrophe, but their primary intel and strategic support come from an advanced AI. Suddenly, halfway through the quest, the AI seems to glitch—or worse, its programming is compromised by a villain. Do the heroes press forward, relying on their instincts, or do they take a detour to secure new intel, knowing it might cost precious time?

Would you trust an AI computer in your favorite superhero quest? Or do you think the risks of tampering, corruption, or miscalculation outweigh the potential benefits?

Bonus thought: If you had to design a foolproof AI for a superhero team, what features or safeguards would you include?

Looking forward to hearing your takes—this debate between human intuition and AI logic has me hooked! Let’s brainstorm some cool examples from comics too.
