    Bottom.

    Killing one person for every real number implies there’s a way to count all real numbers one by one. This is a contradiction, because real numbers are uncountable. By principle of explosion, I’m Superman, which means I can stop the train by my super powers. QED

      Also, almost all real numbers are undefinable. (Unless you’re using a model, that makes them countable.)

      So that means, if they are all different, than almost all the “humans” on the bottom track are something we can not even imagine in principle. Wouldn’t be surprised, if infinite Superman’s were among them.

      Wait until your league of super heroes is up against the axis of choice.
