Ok before I hit the hay. You can turn into an animal at will. Your clothes and such won’t turn with you but mass is not conserved so you can turn into something much bigger or smaller. It has to be a real creature that does or has existed and I guess if you want a plant that would be fair game. For me its an albatross. could travel around the world. might even manage to carry something that is not to large if packaged right. I am a bit torn though as the ocean is large so maybe a sea creature would be better. like a killer whale. of course then its not great for getting somewhere inland.
I remember reading something (might have been xkcd) that said Superman could do the objectively most “good” by simply powering a massive generator and providing free energy to the world. It would benefit the most people at one time, and provide a larger affect than simply beating up bad guys. So, in the same vein, your sacrifice will be remembered.
Edit: it was SMBC, not xkcd.
Like those cats with buttered toast strapped to their backs.

He’s an alien being capable of freely traveling the universe that is itself filled with hyper advanced societies and advanced technology. He could literally just go pick up an asteroid of solid gold, go to a planet of hyper tech, and buy an advanced tech to Bing back to Earth.
He’s also a god like being, he could just personally deal with each individual that currently contributes to a complex systemic issue in an afternoon.
Reminded me of this video optimizing flash. You basically en slave one person so everyone else can live easy life.
“Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”
it’s Saturday morning breakfast cereal but my 5 minutes ddg couldn’t find the source. there’s a (urgh) reddit post about it that added some repeating flashes for the powerplant superman had to operate.
Yup! That’s it, good find.
