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

[UberNeuman]

I've been thinking a lot about this. The ability to fly would be nice. Having X-ray vision would be even better, especially outside the ladies' locker room.

The power I'd really like is the ability to hurdle people into the sun. Get in front of me with 50 items in a 12 item check-lane - to the sun you go!

Bring your crying child to the movies and then refuse to take them out or quiet them - Mom and Dad - you get a free trip to the sun.... I'll send Junior along as well, won't him to grow up without parents. And hey, people on their cell phones that won't shut the fuck up! Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes!

Speed by me and cut into my lane in the 40 zone when I'm going 50 to just to then turn at the next corner. Guess what, chum - you've won an all paid first class trip to... that's right, you guessed it! The Sun!

\I just want this one power. Is that too much to ask for?
\\and if I receive this power - I promise not to abuse it.

 

[Zorander]

I prefer mind control over hurling people physically. Nothing beats having jerks perform conspicuous acts outside while you go about your everyday business. :whiste:

This thread didn't turn out so hot last time, if I remember correctly.

B

wait..what?

you want to hurdle people into the sun?



i would like invisiblity or the ability to change shape. Mystique i think is one of the most powerful in the marvel universe.

At least they won't have worry about getting to ER in time to save their child run over by some idiot that wants superpowers.

Guess what you've won. I won't tell you. It's a secret.

\lighten up.

 

[JulesMaximus]

The power of persuasion.

You think YOU have spent a lot of time thinking about this?

If I were to pick any superpower, I'd take omniscience. Failing that, I'd take the ability to control the movement of thermal energy. Then I'd contract myself out to a power company, a bit like this, except I'd have the contract written so that I own about 10% of the planet by the time I retire.

Now, if X-Men has taught us anything, it's that superpowers are bullshit. To name just two, Magneto and Phoenix gain new expressions of their usual powers every time they show up, and they pull energy from the fucking aether at will. If I were to pick any superpower that isn't exploitably vague, and that doesn't flip the bird to physics... there would be no superpowers to choose from, except maybe growing my nails quickly, so I guess I'd settle for that one.

 

[Markbnj]

The power to grant myself any power.

 

[AMCRambler]

Wonder Twin powers combine! Form of Scarlet Johannson's bra!

 

[Paratus]

I'll take the U.S.

 

[CrimsonWolf]

I'll see everything.

 

[nickbits]

Cure any disease. I could monitize that and use it on myself and live forever.

 

[Humpy]

I would want the power to make people shit themselves.

 

[IronWing]

I'd like the power to immobilize stuff. Being a jerky jerk driver? Guess what, your car isn't going anywhere ever again. That's a sweet $50 bill on the ground there. Guess where it is staying? Yeah, I parked illegally, so tow me, hehe.

 

[circusslaughter]

Invisibility. So I can find OCD people and ruin their lives but rearranging all their furniture.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I like accelerated healing a la wolverine. It automatically comes with disease resistance, longevity, and physical fitness.

I also like the idea of being able to form my limbs and body into any shape or material I want. Like, I could turn my arms into bladed weapons or extend pseudopod tentacles from my body and stuff. I wouldn't get much chance to use that one without going on a murderous rampage of some sort though. Still always thought it was a cool power.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Overall, omniscience. Best of course. 2nd, controlling time to its most basic form. Back. And forth, keep memories. Basically self-powered dr who.

 

[akahoovy]

The ability to create big dick pills at will. I'll play villain and end the human race because no man will be able to resist taking them until they can't reproduce.

 

[darkswordsman17]

Punch people through the internet.

 

[skyking]

Punch people through the internet.

oh yeah, on that theme.
Reach out and cook the server rack a spammer/hacker is operating from. Just melt it down. he gets in another space, melt that one too. Pretty soon hosting crooks is not so profitable.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Superpower to make this world a better place?

Let's face it, we have WAY too much poverty, war, crime, corruption, greed, and complete stupidity throughout this entire planet.

As amazing as human kind might be is as backwards and pathetic we truly are.

And big dick pills can end all of that, because of man's own greed and vanity.

 

[sandorski]

Telekinesis, so nothing would be just out of my reach again. Also, I wouldn't even need a remote control!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Ability to change the world, end corruption, etc. Not sure physically which superpower would be best for that, maybe some kind of mind control. Full root access, so if I want to just stop someone's heart, or make them say stuff, I could.
