well if you can cast spells you can cast a spell to give you all those other super powers so it wins by default.

sometimes not as useful as having it naturally

No. NOT immortality. I used to think this, but remember the story of Prometheus? Immortality landed him in a world of dog doo, because he would get his business chewed by some vulture every day, yet he wouldn't die. Imagine being hit by a train, splatted into oblivion, yet still being alive??? Boo!

I came up with the best superpower ever. Its a long read, but definitly the best superpower.

The ability to go back to any exact point in your life and keep all memories. This isn't time travel, but instead your mind and soul going back to your body of the past. You'd be ALL knowing. You could know everything about everything. The possabilities of this superpower is almost endless. First of all, you could ALWAYS be right on any question. You'd have 100% odds at gambling or even childrens games. You could reroll dice, repick strategies, redo bets, etc. You could invent anything you wanted at the ripe age of 4. You could technically write every single popular song that ever existed after birth. The key problem to this superpower would be overwriting or erasing to much history. You'd have to be careful staggering your warp backs, but it'd be worth it. Like the first time you warp back you go back to the age of 10 years old and do something noteworthy, then live out your full life doing minor time warps back just a few minutes hours or days untill you get to about 50 years old, then warp back to 10 years and 1 day, erasing everything you've done thusfar except for that noteworthy event that you did at the age of 10 years, and do something noteworthy at the age of 10 years and 1 day, live to 50, go back to 10 years, and 2 days, etc, etc, etc. You could also use this superpower to do illegal things, and then erase what you've done. You could also be a very charismatic person, because if you ever said the wrong thing you could just correct yourself. The ultimate amendment to this power I decided that if you died, you'd get the option to reset to a certain age, or the option to die and be done. Although i think it would take hundreds of full lifetimes as well as thousands of smaller ones to ever get bored of everything you could possibly do. And if you ever get in a hard spot such as torture or jail, you just go back a little bit.

The best standard superpower would be teleportation. You could do quite a bit with teleportation.

LOL....:D wuts the superlotto numbers this week..?


I dont know right now.. but what state you lookin for? It'll cost a small fortune, but i'll tell you. Hell I'll make it easier and just deposit some cash in your bank account since I already know your passwords.

I was going to suggest this, total omniscience past present and future. you would already know everything that happened, is happening, and is going to happen. You'd be able to predict every outcome of every move you make so you would pretty much be unbeatable in any way

What? And freeze your butt off at 30K feet, or get flies in your teeth? No thanks.:p

Yes..cause flying means you are only able to travel at 30k feet :roll:. And if you have a problem with bugs, get a helmet. Problem solved.

The Force is the most versitale, because you can do essentially anything Lucas dreams up. You don't need Xray vision because you can use a mind trick to get a girl naked. You have limited flight capability. You can shoot lightning bolts from your fingers. You have control over everything around you. You have superspeed. And you dont even really die. That seems like the best deal IMO.
