Yet another fun poll, just for the heck of it. Would have had more options, but they wouldn't let me :(.

Probably telekinesis. I think I could have the most fun with it. :D

I'm thinking something along the lines of clairtangency. You know, the ability to visualize distant locations and manipulate objects there. Long range telekinesis. I could use it to give BackwoodSquatches an atomic wedgie. :lol:

Elemental. The more outrageous and flashier, the better. *thinks anime*

Would necromancy allow me have control over death? By which I mean, could I become a lich king?

*puts fantasy book down*

I think it is for the best.

Oooh, if only I was a necromancy I could use evil magicks to get this server working.

all...so...cool....
In the end I had to go with elemental...Telekinesis is almost like...too much power- I mean, I couldn't be Professor X. Then, while shapeshifting would be awesome...it doesn't really do a whole lot. Of course it allows to to spy on people, but so does invisibility. And invisibility has the added bonus of making it really easy for you to run away. Also it seems like shapeshifting makes you an easy target for chicanery* (thinking Wagner's Ring Cycle right now) And though invisibility is probably the safest...as a superhero...you don't really have the option of just running away all the time. So elemental. Either Fire or Wind I think. Depends on the terrain I guess. Fire will always kill someone, but wind will kill them faster if you're on top of a cliff or building.
As for necromancy, while it's really cool...Just creeps me out.

Necromancy, definitely.

My friend's idea for a super-power is probably best-totally convincing liar.

*someones about to shoot you dead*

"You don't want to shoot me"

"Neither I do..."

Kinda like a really effective Jedi Mind Trick...

However, I've always fancied telekinesis myself-I like the idea of picking people up and throwing them around with my brain...

Shapeshifting, i could be anything. Who needs invisibility when you can turn into a bug.

Psychic sounds really coolbut, Ill have to go with necromancy. There are so many things you could do with death or the lack of it. Besides raising a zombie army sounds like fun.

Who needs a superpower when you can just squash your enemy who just turned themselves into a bug?

My first choice would be something along the lines of Dragonball Z powers, the whole energy ball glowing style.

Being like Nightcrawler from the X-Men would be awesome as well.

Or telekinesis, even short range, like only works with stuff in my view, would be insane.
