If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

[waggy]

So, a few billion years from now, when the sun goes red giant, you'd be pretty bored sitting there watching solar flares and stuff.

I thought about that. what would you do say a huge meteor hits the earth and it explodes? drift throughout space? a Zombie apocalypse and you are the only human left? a nuke war?

Better bored than dead.

Who knows, with that kind of time and isolation the human mind might eventually be able to achieve some really interesting states of thought and consciousness, control over your own dreams, etc.

Ideally this invincibility would include invincibility against going outright insane too, but perhaps that's unreasonable to ask 🙂

Mind control.

Every other imaginable super power is dumb and is a waste of imagination.

We live in a social world. You have the power to control anyone that means....

1. You are now the richest man on earth
2. Go anywhere, travel anywhere, do anything.
3. You are now the most POWERFUL man on earth- politics, corporations, all the presidents & organizations of your world bow at your bidding. Do whatever the HELL you want- build a house on top of a pyramid, sauna at north pole, visit the Marina trenches. You can do everything that money couldn't buy. This means you can do ANYTHING now. Go to space, whatever.
4. You can be with anyone, sleep with anyone, obtain ANYONE. You think that'll ruin your attraction? Mind control them just slightly to be interested in you but rest of their personality stays intact.

Or just get trapped falling down a well. Buried in an avalanche.

If I could have only one super power I'd want invincibility. It isn't all that useful on its own, because it wouldn't confer any extra strength or real power... but I should be clear: the type of invincibility I'm talking about would mean you would be truly unchanging and unchangeable. So immortality would be part of it.

No aging, no ability to gain or lose weight, just locked permanently for eternity in your current state of being.

That's what I'd choose.

Really short sighted if you think about it.

You get to live like what, 50 years until the jig is up? You look like 25 at 65, you'll be at the world's spot light. You NEVER want publicity with your superpowers.

Soon you are an outcast, never live life the way you want, or become a mediocre celebrity. In time you'll be begged to be (if not forced) used for medical research and end up as your govt's pet.

The beauty of life is to enjoy it as you age along with rest of your friends and family.

I would like to take amphetamines without getting hella constipated.

I would want the powers of bester from babylon 5.

So I can eat 10 pizzas a day and not get fat. I like :awe:

I'd like the power to forgive sins and drop kick folks into heaven. Chicks would be like washing my feet with their hair and shit.

You are invincible. How exactly are they going to force you to do anything?

 

[Newell Steamer]

Make any woman I want, go cat in heat crazy for me.

 

[Zeze]

You live in this society, world. What are You going to do? You are just one feeble average man- politically and financial weak as your neighbor.

What's the point of being physically immortal/invincible once you are outcast or governments/media come down on you?

See mind control above.

The contradiction should be obvious. :awe:

You really don't get it? Enjoy being invicible and being treated as a freakshow. You are still the same- still gotta pay that rent. What a terrible waste of superpower.

Mind control = the world is your oyster.

Within a month:

-I just liberated a dictatorship and saved millions of lives.

-The world is at peace and advancing towards betterment of mankind as one.

-Ate all the finest cuisines of the world

-I spent my time in most luxurious penthouse of NYC, SF, amazing lakehouse in Lake Tahoe, and travelled everywhere.

-Haven't masturbated once because I had 2000 women all giving me BJ at my whim.

What did you accomplish, invincible man?

 

[Newell Steamer]

See mind control above.

I wouldn't want to plant ANY ideas or thoughts into a woman's head.

I want her to feel that spark & drive of needing to get her bones jumped by me, badly. Just raw, wild & passionate screwing.

Sort of like one night stands, but, with out having to be at a bar/concert/bus stop at the right time with the right amount of booze in you.

I see a lady I like. I walk up to her, start talking and we're bumping uglies within a couple of hours.

Didn't you just get married? :hmm:

Also, are you saying we'd be better off as ants?

If you had a nice supply of big dick pills, you could do this to any woman.

And in 100 years you will be dead and the world goes back to crap.

Mind control is pretty clearly the 2nd best super power after immortality admittedly.

Care to ACTUALLY elaborate your life once you got immortality?

What will you be doing today?
tomorrow?
1 year from now?
30 years?
50?
1000?
10 millenia?
5 eons?

You are just one weak man.

What difference did you make to society? What differnence did you make for yourself?

I imagine that due the power of compound interest(perhaps the greatest super power of all 😉) in 1000 years I will be fabulously wealthy.

Then I can get all the women I want anyway. Money is a pretty great form of mind control.

What difference did you make to society?

Not really important to me.

What differnence did you make for yourself?

I won't be dead 😛

 

[Zeze]

lol, now you got put and are just trolling.

Why would I want to live past 100 years after I've done and accomplished everything I wanted in this world/galaxy?

Good day. Be thankful I taught you to think better if we ever magically get granted 1 wish.
