Sylar?

 

[nonameo]

I think I'd take up enchanting.

 

[BurnItDwn]

The ability to not feel hungry after eating 2 or 3 quarter pounders. (currently, I usually eat 4 or 5 quarter pounders for lunch and I'm still not full.)
An attention span that lasts for more than 5 minutes would be cool.


Pretty much that's it, I wish my appetite was less, and that I would not feel hungry all the time even though I eat well over 3500 calories per day and that also my attention span was at least 10 times as long as it is.

I think I'd have to go with this.
Be good at investing, and you can hire people who are good at everything else.

I heard he started off in gay porn. Good luck with that.

I have a similar issue.

I'm damn good on defense. Good to the point where I can keep our 6'4" forward from scoring on me (I'm pushing 5'10") because I can "get big" when I need to. I'm also able to grab the rim with one hand, and I'm literally an inch away from being able to dunk. I can shoot and play post very well....

But I have no ball control. Whatsoever.... Like if I get the ball and can't post, I don't even dribble - PASS PASS PASS. lol

Intriguing what a little bit of altered context can do.

investments....real estate.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

expert on business valuation.

 

[racolvin]

I would want the ability to predict the weather with frightening accuracy. Like being able to say "tomorrow at 3:19pm it will rain for 48 minutes 37 seconds on the corner of Elm and Main street" or to say "at 1:28:33 a bolt of lighting will strike the following location during a thunderstorm.."

Being lucky would be nice.

 

[Howard]

Charisma (in front of any type of group)

Being lucky would be nice.

Can that really be a skill or just a characteristic?

 

[Pantoot]

I would go for the skill to pick up new skills instantaneously.

Boo-urns!

You already got beat to the punch. I'd prefer the Peter variation of this skill, not Sylar's or Papa Petrelli's.

I'm not sure but, I believe 'giving' is a skill so, being lucky may be the flip side?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Math. That's a skill I'd add. I'm into programming, but most/all jobs involving programming also require good math skills. If I had that, I could probably have a chance at getting into a programming related job. Maybe not like Microsoft or Google or anything as those pretty much require to be a genius and be "out of this world" smart, but a smaller company maybe.

 

[FDF12389]

Comedy, Im good at it but better would be nice

 

[SociallyChallenged]

I'd like to be autoconditioned, meaning being in superior physical condition without having to train anything to stay that way.

Its actually kind of a bitch being able to manipulate people.

No, more like telling you to jump off a building w/ my mind.

Here just put on the Nikes and drink this Kool Aid...

 

[SsupernovaE]

How about the power to move you?

 

[clamum]

Singing. I can play guitar but cannot sing. Fuck.

 

[nitsuj3580]

to be able to throw Mariano Rivera's cut fastball at 96-100 mph every time. The guy has that one pitch and has made millions playing my favorite sport.

If you suddenly got the analytical power that would let you really understand the world around you, would life be as fun anymore, when it's just a bunch of interconnected cogs and dice? Sure, you can function more effectively, but it's quite the Faustian deal.

And unfortunately it's gonna be guys like Warren Buffet who already had a metric assload of money anyway. What's a metric assload + a shit-ton equal to anyway? Are there even numbers that big?

Warren Buffet's initial investment capital came from his paper route, which he invested into pinball machines. He truly is a self-made man.




Personally, I'd go with master-level intrapersonal skills, the ability to put myself at ease or motivate myself and other similar stuff. If you have a total grip on yourself, there's not much you can't do.
