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!

I'm a purist... give me invisibility and I'll be happy!

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.

I have no need for your pathetic mortal aspirations. I AM a super power.

Modest too.

Q:ish omnipotence.

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!"

Helped him pretty well, he could dodge bullets.

Hmm... Tough decision, but I'd like to be similar to Super Man. Or Spider Man. Or The Flash.

Damn you, indecisiveness!!

SUPER-modest!
So modest it's a superpower in it's own right!
:D

Ah, I understand now. I thought you meant predicting the future of everything.

:D

I didn't put "Big-Heads" in my nation name for no reason.

I'm a purist... give me invisibility and I'll be happy!

That would be a useful power.

Blackmail...voyuerism...corperate espionage... :D

...Wait...You don't intend to use this power for GOOD do you?!

Mind control over parrots

Damn invisibility was taken.

Being able to shrink on command...

x-ray vision...

unlimited strength...

Immortality...

Flight...

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.

Immortality...


Been there, done that. It's not all is cracked up to be.

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.

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.

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

The ability to get any woman to have sex with me by looking at them!

Thatd get quite dull after a while... plus youd find it really inconveiniant.

I call BS

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."

Priceless :D

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.

I'd probably want to have water abilities. Like...that Superfriend whose name I can't remember...><
That or the ability to fly. Flying looks like a whole lotta fun.

comment on the smilies:
:fluffle: This represents the seperation of the super continent Panagea!

What show is that from?
It's from a show, right? I thought I remembered something like that on some show...

May favorite Superpower was the Soviet Union.

..Wait a minute...

The power to control staples. I always hurt myself with those things.... Having them at my command would make the possiblities limitless. Ahh... Sweet thoughts....

hmmmm..... superpower, eh?


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!

The power to make things multiply.

Been there, done that. It's not all is cracked up to be.

Dang it!!

The power to make things multiply.


Like a rabbit?

The power to make things multiply.

Wouldn't that make you a rabbit? :D

any of these:

entering people's dreams.

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

give people mullets

Wouldn't that make you a rabbit? :D

You stole my idea. D:

Thatd get quite dull after a while... plus youd find it really inconveiniant.


No, when I gave them a certain look. ;)

I can generate electricity very well. Anytime I touch anything (and sometimes just by standing close to something without touching it) I get shocked. I guess I am just electrifying...haha...ha.......ha....yeah. :rolleyes:


:headbang:

super fighitng skills...

Wouldn't that make you a rabbit? :DTo multiply money would be sweet. $1, $2, $4, $8, $16, $32, $64, $128, $256 etc.

you're all thinking so typically.
Obviously, the best superpower in the world would be the power to make stupid people smart. think about it... we could actually have SMART world leaders!

I bet your avatar would have Einstien hair right? I mean...That's classic!

(Bzzzap)

Yeah, except for the life of me I can't figure out how to put it on there. :confused:

The ability to alter my cellular structure to any living form of my choosing.

The ability to rapidly regenerate all wounds, injuries and disease.

Instant teleportation, and the ability to create money out of thin air :D

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.

that one :D change forms..rob bank/store and escape if i get wounded i can heal
also i can eat my self and regenrate muhaha

Not certain of specifics, but definately something with some serious smiting action. Looking around, I could put it to good use!

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

The ability to stop and restart the passage of time at my convienence, while remaining unaffected by said ability.

That one was on my list, I didn't put it down, but that one I would have no grudge with having.

Physical immortality with regeneration

...Wait...You don't intend to use this power for GOOD do you?!

No, not in the slightest... I wasn't planning on voyeurism though, but now that you mention it... :)

The ability to stop and restart the passage of time at my convienence, while remaining unaffected by said ability.

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..

spidey senses

I would like the power to jump into alternate universes, like throgh photos and stuff.

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

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.

Either the ability to predict the future, or the ability to read others' minds.

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.

Mad skill at using Force-powers. Since it seems that they can be used for almost any purpose. (mind control, telekinesis, regeneration, etc.)

Oh, and immortality too if that's okay.

I see alot of Proffesor X wannabes and very few people like me who would rather be like Dr. Strange..

and yet in D&D magick is much more appreciated and accepted then psionics.

Something aint adding up.. :headbang:

Methinks you take this a wee bit too seriously.

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!

Regeneration or recovery, it would be cool to be able to recover from illness superfast or regrow arms or something.

I remember a thread just like this a while back. My answer hasn't changed since then.

I'd still go with the ability to cause spontaneous orgasms in any body, at any time. :D

I could make instant friends, make world leaders act like fools and incapacitate anybody who attacked me in a novel and non-lethal way. ;)

Awesome, just awesome. This is for you --> :fluffle:
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.
