  • alright so we go back in time kidnap baby hitler and keep him on an island in a lake in an island in a lake in the the Philippines with baby stalin and baby pol pot. And the best part, we call it the evil baby orphanage!

  • well technically Superman CAN travel in time. didn't he at one point fly around the earth so fast that he travelled several years into the future?

  • I guess I will write my opinion about killing baby Hitler: I'm a huge history nerd and I know that baby Hitler wasn't a national socialist. He was inspired to become a nazi when he was a teenager/young adult and therefore killing baby Hitler would be wrong, even though it would stop him from becoming a leader. He was after all technically not a bad person until his young adult years.

  • the ability to take away ppls powers for ur self prently

  • watching them all

  • Superman CAN travel in time! When Lois Lane was killed by the robot Doomsday, he flew backwards around the Earth and killed Doomsday, thus saving Lois! DFTBA!

  • I love superhero questions too! DFTBA!

  • According to the Doctor, there are fixed and flux points in history that you can change. Some of them you can't alter, and some you can.

  • I was gonna say........ The Doctor...

  • a day befor my birthday <|=D

  • In Superman I Supes time travels to save Lois though...

  • So I'm rewatching Brotherhood 2.0 after 3 years and I've finally gotten around to watching Doctor Who. I listen to Hank and start giggling to myself "hehe he's basically talking about Doctor Who!" Scroll down to the comments section: Doctor Who related top comments.

    I LOVE NERDFIGHTERIA!!

  • Yeah, I'm born on may 11th (1996)!!.

    Personally, I think you can't kill baby Hitler.

    'Cause then he would've never started WW2. And people wouldn't learn from those things. Imagine; all the wars, accidents and other stuff would be prevented, we'd make those faults again.

    You've gotta learn from your mistakes.

    But ofcourse you can go and save all the jews!

    NERDFIGHTERS!! <3

    I'm a girl, I'm from freaking holland, and I'm a nerdfighter since an hour ago.

    For this vid, I'm from the future

  • No, no. We don't kill baby Hitler. We lock him in a closet and disregard it for the rest of the episode.

  • @thisiscateliot Lol, I bloody love that comment (--doctor who!!)

  • watching them all!

  • any1 else going back and watching all the episodes?

  • @poentasticgurl I am!

  • @poentasticgurl Me! I just started last Friday :) u?

  • superman can time travel because he can just travel faster than the speed of light. SUPERMAN IS OVERPOWERED!!!!!

  • @randomlyfresh23

    Her doctor was the one who persuaded her to not have an abortion so it is his fault Hitler was alive.

  • With enough preparation batman can defeat any other super hero.

  • It would be okay to kill baby Hitler because he tortured animals even as a kid.

    Messed. Up. Dude.

  • No need to kill Hitler. Just shove him in the closet.

  • Oh, goodness. All I can think about is how perfectly Hank is describing the Doctor... Without even realizing it... Even with the Hitler thing.

  • umm... superman did travel in time... in the first movie ???

  • Sounds like the prelude to the Evil Baby Orphanage =D

  • @mythman1995 What about bacon flavoured candy?

  • I asked people who were "pro-life", (most of them were guys) if they would go back in time and convince Hitler's mother to get an abortion.

  • @randomlyfresh23 and what was the result?

  • @em85m

    They were dumbfounded, but their opinions are totally irrelevant when it comes to abortion. The dont have vaginas, and theyll never know how guilty youll feel afterward, or the 'what if's' and 'shouldve, couldve, woudve's'.

  • i have been on an epic quest to find the origin of the evil baby orphanage and i have just found it. i feel made of awesome. 

  • Best super power ever; either being to shoot various forms of candy out of you hands or being able to shoot bacon out of your hands

  • No, killing him as a baby would not be fine... He hadn't made the choices to fuck up the lives of 100s of millions of people until much later in his life. So, just wait until he's in his 20s, then kill him.

    Also, I think Stalin and Mussolini should be on that list of people to kill in their 20s as well.

  • @iluvme4never Yes but with the evil baby orphanage he would maybe save lives

  • Good to know that Doctor Who can now be known as the greatest superhero. :D

  • WHat about a time-stopping lady? *cough* Virginia from PoPS *cough*

  • I enjoyed this video very much. ^_^ going through this playlist for the first time.. I'm trying to decide whether I'm nerdfighter material. Maybe not, but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy Hank's awesomeness!

  • @JibertyKataangisLove If you want to be a nerdfighter, you are one :)

  • Doctor Who!!! :D

  • The Batman V. Superman thing has been handled in continuity of Superman/Batman.

    They both lose.

  • @missiworld I was thinking the same thing

  • "Who would win in a fight between Mighty Mouse and Superman?"

    "Superman. Because Superman is a real person, and Mighty Mouse is just a character."

  • @prettyhippie865 but superman is a character too

  • Going through my first B2.0 marathon. ^__^

    This is incredible! :D

  • So... DOCTOR WHO.

  • Trek bikes rock! Also, thank you for wearing a helmet. Helmets decrease world suck in the form of people getting head injuries. DFTBA

  • You wouldn't directly kill baby Hitler, you would instead convince his mom to get that abortion after all, despite what her doctor said.

  • haha flex in front of katherine and random ppl? thats hilarious!!!

  • I loved how he talked about Timetravel, cause I'm obsessed with Dr. Who right now.

  • Oh my god, the killing baby Hitler concept was in an episode of the Twilight Zone. :0

  • adopted muscle memory would be an awsome super power

  • 1. Give Baby Hitler to some Jewish nuns or something.

    2. Doctor Who states that there are fixed moments in time that shouldn't be meddled with.

    3. Ah, hello SMALLVILLE had like 5 seasons before they moved to Metropolis. Montana needs a super hero, you can be that hero. Hank Green this is your calling.

  • go by the rules of the Doctor in terms of Time Travel.

  • @Okayiranga I was just thinking that!

  • The flexing part is both adorable and hilarious. :D

  • I laughed so much in this video - Hank is hilarious. I mean, all vlogbrothers videos are awesome, but this one just made me lol a lot.

  • You never mess with time on other news im writing (kinda) a book about i time travler who killed hitler and all the bad things that happened because he messed with time

  • Didn't Superman travel in time in the Superman movie when he turned the world backwards to save Lois Lane?

  • Um..I want a tardis

  • 'd flex a lot

    I'd flex at Katherine

    these are sentences that I am not forget

  • NerdFighters<3

  • Who would win The Doctor or Superman?

  • @nillie1234 Um The Doctor...By far

  • I would want a tardis....

  • This video even being 3.5 years old decreased my snow day suck! Thanks for that. As for killing baby Hitler: Why not just change his life for the better. Maybe adopt him and then adult Hitler might not have been such a douche...

  • I would probably go for sticking a needle in baby Hitler's eye. But the Doctor would be with me and even though he doesn't like Hitler either, he'd say that this might be a fix point in time. And, you know, you can't mess around with fixed points.

  • Is it just me, or did anyone else think of The Platoon of Power Squadron while Hank was talking about not having many people to save and working part time at a taco shop? I mean, that's pretty much Donald's character from 3:05 to 3:22

  • wasn't there a TV episode about killing baby's in The Outer Limits series? cause this video sounds awfully familiar..... : )

  • Also veiwer 50,000. Sorry bro.

  • French the Llama, I'm viewer 50,000. winkitty. killing baby hitler? no. give him a toy. something to believe in.

  • 10 people don't want to kill baby Hitler

  • I like telekinesis for a power.

  • aqua man vs namor

  • I probably exist because of Hitler and so does one of my best friends. It's weird that I have to be thankful for the life that he in a way gave to me, when his life resulted in many other people dying.

  • You wouldn't even have to kill baby Hitler, just kidnap him and raise him differently. But then there is the eternal problem of the fact that The Universe will find somebody to replace him to keep the flow of time regular...

  • No It's Not ok. And Watch Doctor Who and that will Answer Your Qeustion

  • i woulden't kill hitler, like pooping, everybody dies (in your pants).

  • I just climbed out from under my rock a few days ago to finally discover you guys... took me long enough. I am only to May 2007 in the never ending amount of videos there are.

    Anyway, I just wanted to inform you that Superman CAN time travel. He flies around the world in the direction opposite of its natural orbital spin and somehow that allows him to go back in time... but he can't go forward in time... I think.

  • Not ok to kill baby Hitler cuz WW2 helped us get out of the depression cuz it created jobs!

  • i would hate to be a time-travelling superhero. Maybe with me saving everyone and all, overpopulation would take place. And we would all have to resort to cannibalism. And as DELICIOUS as that sounds (not really) I wouldn't want to get addicted to human flesh then start eating my best friend just because I got really hungry... Yeah... Let's not have time-controlling superheroes.

  • Yeah, if I went back in time and stopped the Holocaust I'd almost certainly not exist. (I've thought about this stuff too much) I'm Jewish on my mom's side, and my grandma came to the US because of the Holocaust... So basically, she probably wouldn't have met my grandfather, and my mother wouldn't even exist, so I definitely wouldn't.

  • ...I think I love you.

  • LOL swing back and forth between the two builds, ...hike a lot

  • You live near a highway 22? I live near a highway 22! (Alberta)

    Highway 22 for the win!

  • Erm.... People on the fence about this should really watch Dr. Who

  • have you seen the twilight zone episode were a women goes back in time and poses as a new nanny for baby hitler and then she kills the baby but the real permenant nanny freaks out and steals a homeless women's baby and that is the baby that actually becomes hitler! Because the big thing is that you can't change the past for real because what ever you are planning to do you have techniquely already done it!

  • Just re-educate baby Hitler!

  • I always used to daydream about magneto turning colossus into different shapes while colossus was in his metal form or whatever you call it. my favorite was when he turned him into a teapot and served coffee out of him to the brotherhood of evil members.

  • my only thought is, if you travel back in time... DON'T GET INVOLVED IN BIG HISTORICAL EVENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Doctor Who... PLEASE TELL ME U LIKE THAT SHOW?!?!?! i'm a who Nerdfighter!

  • FLYING

  • I would want Jean Grey's superpowers. Although I would NOT want to have that whole 'Phoenix' thing.

  • AAAAHHH! So your thing about a time travelling super hero... you should watch Doctor Who!!! It's the best show in existence! I mean he isn't really a super hero, but it's the same sort of time travelling concept, & it's awesome!!!

  • kill him!

  • I love how you basically summed up the character development of Hiro from Heroes throughout the series.

  • Why kill baby Hitler, you could try to raise him and see how it goes, and if he still end up bad you travel back in time and keep him father away from his mother, and hey! No Hitler without actually killing anything! I meant anyone!

  • what would happen if rin-ne (rumiko takahashi's new manga) vs inuyasha

  • Did anyone bring up the fact that even though killing baby Hitler sounds like a good idea (except for the baby part,) that in trying to reduce the world's suck levels there is a good chance we would increase them? Just like the steam engine example. Perhaps we needed WWII & all of those horrible things to happen to be in the semi-decent state that it is in today (i.e. more democracies, the UN, ect.) Maybe if Hitler didn't come along, someone worse would have & we would royally screwed right now.

  • *nerdsnort* But Superman can travel through time, my goodness, and you call yourself a nerd! Hah!

  • @masterohumans i call my self a nerd but hate spiderman, superman, batman, xmen, ect. i like heros like inuyasha, rinne, ect.

  • i think that killing baby hitler wouldn't be good. but i feel that i could possibly condone killing a 10-year-old hitler if he exhibits any signs of evil. for instance: stealing cookies from a person who really wanted the cookies is a sure sign of evil

  • ah, but you must remember that Superman can fly so fast that it acctualy reverses time so he does have Time Travel. He just tries not to complicated it by using it :/ yup . . . (^-')b

  • The birth of EBO!

  • i would kidnap baby hitler and give him to a nice happy family

  • wait, did he say it was his birthday on may 11th? mine too!

  • I'm sure this has already been said... and probably done, but a superhero in a small town forced to only be super part time due to a lack of crime sounds like it could be a really great, hilarious comic.

  • The rating is 666 spooky! lol

  • cough cough doctor who

  • Why do people underestimate the importance of mind control! The brain is everything! If I could control minds than I would be so powerful. I mean it would work for good guys and bad guys too.

  • yeah, I don't think we should kill baby Hitler. Cause think about it, the holocaust killed eleven million people, the world is already over populated, do you know how much worse it would be if it weren't for the holocaust? The world would probably like... end. So, as awful as the holocaust was, maybe it was somewhat neccasary.

  • What if you trying to kill baby Hitler, made him become the evil mass murderer that he eventually became. Then you only hurt the future instead.

  • It would be bad to kill baby Hitler because that would kinda destroy the world and make an alternate universe and we probably wouldn't exist and it would be a paradox! :S

    And I would like to... shapeshift! Muggle Animagus :P

  • superman would totally win...

  • Ugh I hate spiderman! Batman so pwns!

  • spiderman is my favorite super hero

  • Batman is awesome. Spiderman is whingy. Superman... meh, awesome powers, though.

    I personally like telekenisis.

  • Batman > Superman

  • first of all, pinapplemicrophone, is is spelled J'onn J'onzz. Also, he doesn't go intangable, he changes his density. Second, Hank, you can beat Superman for superpowers. Look at Dr. Manhattan. He has Superman-esque powers, and he doesn't experience time linerarly. He has both super powers, and super brains! Dr. Manhattan for the win!

  • I want the power to control electricity

  • I know that it might be bad to say but... I don't think doing anything to Hitler would be good because he is like the main reson that Canada is an independent country today.

  • So you think that the fact that canada is an independent country is so good that it doesn't really matter that millions of people was killed and their familie's lives was destroyed???!!!!

    OMG

  • Well, Superman is part- time, and he lives in Metropolis, a city that's bigger than Mazula. What about Batman? Playboy by day, crime fighter by night. But I see your point.

    I appreciate the vid on superheros. They aren't as popular as Harry Potter, and they are just as awesome.

    Oh, and i say kill baby Hitler. xDD

  • wouldn't do it if i didn't!! :)

  • this is where i'm up to in watching all these videos.

  • ik im trying to catch up!!

  • haha this is going to take like the rest of my life

  • very true but i luv them!!

  • Um, Hank? You ARE a superhero. You are a Vlogbrother. And you hae saved many nerdfighter's lives with interesting videos.

    DDDon't kill Hitler. If you kill Hitler as a baby, I'm sure someone who loved him sooner or later would be heartbroken. I think everything happens exactly as it should. And yeah, where would you draw the line? If you stopped the Vikings coming to Ireland and raping and murdering a lot of Celts, some of my friends wouldn't even have been born. Or maybe they would. IDK!! Grr

  • John Jones aka the martian manhunter's powers could beat supes coz jj just goes intangible or whatever and then uses kryptonite :D but i still <3 superman

  • its not okay to kill baby Hitler. its not okay to kill any baby.

    but teenage Hitler, now that i could live with. :DDD

  • You don't kill it, you put it in the Evil Baby Orphanage! XD

    DFTBA

  • Mr. Hiro Nakamura equals JOKES!

  • if baby hitler has a hitler stache like adult hitler...then no..if he doesent...yes..

  • I love superheroes!!! And my mom...

  • "You know what I love? MY MOM. But I also love questions about superheroes."

  • I dont think it would be right to kill baby Hitler. You would be killing an innocent person. Sure, he had the potential to kill millions of people, but all of us have that potential. I think it would be alright to KIDNAP baby Hitler

    You think spider man would be bored there? The tallest building in my town has 4 stories -_-

    I would love the power to manipulate solid objects then you could, like, fly (by making myself (a soid object) go up into the air. Or just flying would be good.

  • My friend told me that Hitler originally wanted to be an artist but then he got kicked out or rejected from artist school. So maybe you could just go back and time and have him be an artist??

    And who knows? Sure, none of us would have ever been born, but think where the world could be! Heck, had Hitler not killed all those people, we (as in the human race, not we as in us because we probably wouldn't be here as we are today) could be living on the moon right now!

  • If killing baby Hitler negated our existence as well as Hank's then Hank wouldn't be here to use his time traveling super powers to go back and kill baby Hitler in the first place. Oh noes, a paradox!

  • yes it ok to kill baby hitler and the best super power ever is the power to have any super power.

  • you can refer to a twilight zone episode to answer that question. a woman goes back in time and kidnaps and kills baby hitler, and when hitlers dad asks where he is, baby hitlers care taker, fearing her own life, goes out side and buys a baby off of a gypsy. so i would not say that you sould not kill baby hitler P.S im refering to the inferior 21 century version of the twilight zone

  • I totally saw that episode. strange episode but still good.

  • if you killed him, history wouldnt happen the same and so you and I most likely would not exist. and that would suck.

  • Artemis Fowl says thats not possible.

  • Artemis Fowl means nothing to me.

  • well if the great depression didnt happen i think hitler wouldnt be so corrupt

  • Kill baby hitler!!!

  • I think that you could just kidnapp baby Hitler then raise him very nicely.

  • I would end up negating my own existence the very first time I went back in time and wouldn't even get to enjoy the powers.

  • Please, hank. Flex away.

  • i would not kill baby hitler because of the paradoxal results which would negate my reason to go back and kill hitler which would mean he would live which would mean i would kill him and so on

  • u should change the course of baby hitlers life

  • This is my birthday video.

    Makes me happy.

  • You don't need super powers you just need a blue phone box, a sonic screwdriver and some big hair :D... it's Doctor Who...

  • Agree 100%

  • "Would it be okay to kill baby Hitler?" Aha! That made me crack up!

  • Also, Stephen Fry wrote a book in which Hitler never existed...one of the characters sends a contraceptive pill back in time, to the well that Hitler's would-be father drinks from. Very cool book.

  • If I was a time traveling superhero, I'm sure I would accidentally screw up the space-time continuum and negate my own existence...but then...I'd never exist, so I would never go back in time and negate my existence in the first place...so then I would exist, and BAH. Paradoxes are lovely, confusing things.

  • you couldn't kill baby hitler. as horrible as he and the things he did were, they shaped the world as we know it. there would be no way of predicting the consequences of getting rod of him. it could, in the words of your brother, potentially go very wrong.

  • Don't kill hitler as a baby... or at least read stephen fry's 'Making History' before you do ...

  • Is Katherine his sister?

  • Katherine is his wife.

  • why would he flex at his sister that would be weird

  • his wife...

  • actually i was replying to a comment where someone thought that Catharine was his sister and i was like why would he flex at his sister cause thats weird

  • Flexing at random people- whew that really made me laugh.

  • hitler was supposed to be an abortion. his mom thought about it, quite seriously. so i'd go back and try to convince her to actually abort him.

  • If you go to the future, and you go back to the present, technically, you can still change the future.

  • That's why Clark Kent moved to Metropolis from Smallville. Even though the show makes Smallville look pretty darn exciting.

  • remember in that smallville episode where superman goes back in time to prevent lana from dying, succeeds, but then his father dies instead? that's why you can't kill baby hitler, because the universe will just find another way to balance itself... given that there is only a single timeline, of course.

  • glad to find another smallville fan :D

  • batman has a kryptonite gun, so ya hed definitely win over superman

  • Batman... because Superman is feminine and lame.

  • Doctor Who can travel time. Youtube search it. Doctor Who.

  • superman traveled back in time

  • as for the batman/superman

    they'd both lose to Alf.

    because he had the best comic!

  • well gee chuck Norris wins.

  • i just want to say, superman could (and did frequently) travel in time. do your hero research... otherwise, im addicted to these vlogs good job

  • yea didn't he just go faster

    than the speed of light

    or something to do that?

  • Ha I was thinking that the whole time. He can obviously fly fast enough to break the time barrier...check the comics Hank!

    :D

  • there is way too many things connected to hitler and messing with him will mess with everything
