Your Superpower?

I know it sounds juvenile, but we need some fun around here. And this seems like a good way.

If you had the choice, what kind of superpower would you have?

My ultimate superpower: psychic sight, the ability to peer into another's mind, and see things before they happen. It's the most advantageous in my humble opinion.

Second Choice: Psychokenisis, the ability to move stuff with my mind!

How would that help you see the future? All it would show you was the actions they intended to do, I would think. Still damn useful though.



I would probably pick psyschokinesis or teleportation.

If I may pull a quote from Psycho Mantis from "Metal Gear Solid"

"It's useless! I told you (Snake), I can read your every thought!"

Damn you, indecisiveness!!

Superpower eh? Well America's the only one left so...

*rereads thread*

Oh! THAT kind of super-power. I'd totally take gravity manipulation. If someone is pissing me off, I'd use gravity to curve space around them so that they get trapped in a pocket universe encapsulated in our own. I would then straighten out space so that said pocket universe is condensed into a zero-dimensional point, effectively squishing the person.

Telekenisis - The power of TK is almost limitless, just think about it.

Dont need another power, ive got flight and everything now... and i certainly dont need teleoprtation. Teleportation = death.

11-03-2005, 01:10
Ah, I understand now. I thought you meant predicting the future of everything.

Okay, so what I want to be able to do is peer into the minds of a person, and extract EVERYTHING from them; surface thoughts, their pasts, unconcious emotions...and yes, what they plan to do in the future.

I would totally PWN!!!

I wouldn't be able to look into the future and predict the winner of the next hockey game or when WW3 was going to break out. The people who do that are prophets and clairvoyants...a whole different union.

Only the scientifically allowed kind.
If you can break the laws of reality it's a bit more appealing.

According to some quiz thingy I took a while back online, my superpower should be to turn kinetic energy into HTML.

It also said my superhero name should be "Astro Chef."

Hey, I'm a superpower! :D
My choice would probably be to become a Coordinator with SEED Mode - Coordinators are genetically enhanced humans, but they still have their limits.

SEED Mode is the fun part here - if you push me hard enough in battle, it'll trigger SEED Mode which is basically a berserker state.

That or the ability to fly. Flying looks like a whole lotta fun.

What superpower is it that Galactus has? He so kicks arse.

hmmm.... without Galactus powers to choose from, I'm limited....
I'd have to go for limitless shapeashifting capability.... then you'd be invincible. and I'd use my powers for ruthlessly extorting the plebs. Go me!

any of these:

to have flamethrowers for eyes

to be in control of a skeletal zombie minion

to be able to re-arrange electrons and protons and thus being able to transform anything into anything else

The ability to shut my bodies vital functions down on will, (AKA Heart beat, breathing, etc) but still being able to control my body.

The ability to see longer distances

Thats all I can see myself really wanting. I would hate to be immortal, just too much. Telekenesis sounds interesting, but not really something I would like. Superhuman strength would be fun, but I enjoy working out enough to where I would rather work at it. Stopping bullets like superman? that would be usefull, but I think I would prefer to deal with the pain.

Even though i'd never publicaly show this fan-peice as i think it sucks, I write a fan based comic series based off myself called "A World Without a Superman". (I got the idea when Christopher Reeves died.)

It's about a young sorcerer who makes pacts with the devil and crap and is bestowed with magick to boot. And as we all know Superman really was only scared of two things: magick and kryptonite. Well Supes dies in my comic and don't come back. So naturaly this one time villain feels sorry for Metropolis and takes it upon himself to become it's new hero. Which may or may not be a good thing. Seeing as children begin looking into the occult to idiolize him. (Small children..) he flirts with a widow Lois Lane, makes vulger gestures/comments at president Luthor several times, and has Batman charged with pedophilia (He does hang around little boys a little too often..) because Batman kept hasseling him for his inhumane treatment of the badguys. Yep, your typical anti-hero book.. And we all know how sales of those go. :p

I concur, there's nothing that can't be done with this ability. I'd also add a capacity to slow time also, it would make things more convinient I think.

Naturally, being able to go back/forth in time would be a plus, but that's just being unrealistic :)

I suppose overall, complete control of time would be better. I can't really see a time when slowing time would be preferable to stopping it, but going forward or backwards would be nice.

...Where is the use in that?

Can you change the choices made by an individual in this cosmic reset? Or are you going for some sort of Sandman like crap here intending to "reset time untill one of these days all life DOESN'T SEICE"?

I had a dream about adding differant characters to my fan-comic but the edge was so dark it would HAVE to be converted to a Vertigo title. The sorcerer begin having rivals.

One would play "devil games" that put him and his opponent's life and soul on the line. He didn't see himself worthy to use Satan's power without the risk.

Another cut himself with a razor and made rune scars. Green mana would flow from said runes to show his innate power.

The last was annerexic because he "needed room for the devil".

I have a very morbid mind..

Yes, it is ME! I know, I know, everybody clap. :rolleyes: (i never post on the forums anywhere so this is a rare occurance...)

Superpower? Hmm. I know. Maximus Attractimuminus. :D

for real this time:

1.) Flight (even tho im afraid of heights.. ah, tragic irony.)

2.) Control over light (photokinesis...) You could basically use that to make camoflouge, mirages, invisibility, darkness to confuse the bad guys...

3.) everybody was kung-fu fightiing! *insert little tune here* cough.

4.) and, your basic everything-K. which is the ability to utilize any type of kinesis the moment somebody thinks it up.

Dude: I've got it! BURGER KINESIS!
Me: *causes burgers to start popping up everywhere*
Dude: You suck. I wish I had Everything-Kinesis.
Me: Don't we all?

Best combo ever.

Three other good superpowers would be...

1. Not exactly a superpower, per se, but having everything enhanced. Sight, smell, reflexes, strength, everything. You'd be truly "superhuman".

2. Oddly specific; the ability to control electronic devices with your mind. Muhaha...I could launch nuclear missiles just by wistiling into a cell phone!

2. A D&D skill, also my character's skill; necromancy. You'd have an unlimited army at your disposal, an army that would only get bigger after each battle!

Anyhow, I would want mind control and be able to read minds. I always what wonder what people are really thinking. The human mind boggles me and the the mind contorl would be just for shits and giggles.
