What's your superpower?

If you were a superhero, or villain, what would your superpower be?

I suppose I'd take flight, that way when I retired my power would still be useful in everyday life...

Hmm. Super-intellect. That way I could invent a battlesuit. And I value intelligence over most other things anyway. BUT, the single most FUN power combination would be: Invisibility + X-Ray Vision

The power to cloud men's minds! I would call myself The Shadow! Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The SHADOW knows! Mwahahahahahahahaha!

I'd have the power to write invisibly.

teleportation...

I'd like the power to know why this thread is reincarnated every other week. I have a feeling that understanding that question would allow me to understand something fundamental about the nature of the Universe.

Probably X-Ray vision. Works great in a locker room. ;)

Because I'm an idiot...

the power that Molecule man has.


total control over everything.

Turn garbage into gold... litterally, or fuel... he he he...

What powers you ask? I dunno, how 'bout the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation holmes.
How 'bout the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.
How 'bout the power, to move you?

Omnipotence

Probably X-Ray vision. Works great in a locker room. ;)

that gave me an idea for another superpower. the power to be irresistible to women! :D

because people get tired with the same old religous, anti policitial, bash the ____ of the week threads out there.

Flying would be at the top of the list, if we could pick only one.
Talk about the ultimate freedom! And save a fortune in fuel/travel costs. No more tolls.

Being able to become invisible at will would be pretty cool too.

Reading minds would be excellent, but evil-also-you might wind up knowing a lot of things you were better off NOT knowing.

Shape-shifting! That way I can look like anything or anyone I want!

Though, I'm already so great looking that I don't need to shape-shift :D

that gave me an idea for another superpower. the power to be irresistible to women! :D
One better... the power of suggestion. mind control!

I'm telling you guys, Invisibility and X-ray vision!

My superpower is either the US or superpower07.

¬_¬

Because I'm an idiot...
I wanted to here something I didn't already know. And now that I know the answer, the power is no longer super, so I'll go with the first answer I gave when this thread came up:
I want the power bat man has: unlimited, undeserved wealth. I want a bottomless well of resources that come with no strings attached whatsoever. I want to be able to rest on my ass, mooching off the profits of my ancestors, and never even have to think about money, simply because I've got so much of it.
I always want to great when covered head to toe in skin tight leather.

Although the power to DESTROY ALL HUMANS is tempting, I would have to say "the ability to manipulate time".

My chosen Superpower would be the USSR.

That or flying/x-ray vision/invisiblness/superspeed/....:sniper:

Omnipotence

Looks at own signature... shakes head in disbelief... I always knew I was retarded...

Although the power to DESTROY ALL HUMANS is tempting
That would be the stupidest power possible. Think about it, how are you going to use it in anyway that is useful?
You: You must all give me money, or else I will DESTROY ALL HUMANS.
World Leaders: You're crazy, prove it.
You: FINE! *destroys all humans*
World Leaders: Looks like he wasn't crazy *are destroyed*
And then you're just back to being a normal guy, with nothing special going for you at all. You'll sit around with various anthropmorphic animals that have evolved to fulfill the niche that humans left behind, and annoy the crap out of them.
You: Hey, remember that time that I DESTROYED ALL HUMANS?
Animals: Yes, Nation 2110, we do. We remember it from the last 456 times this week that you've reminded us. Why don't you go away?

HAHAHA... animals talking! Surely you jest;)

How 'bout the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.

Do I know you? I remember having that exact conversation with someone a few weeks back...

Anyways, to my power. Omnisience. Cause with all knowledge, I can do anything I wish, because I know how. Ha!
.

Kinda makes omnisience synonymous with omnipotence, doesn't it? If you're all-knowing, you can do anything, and if you're all powerfull, you'd have the power to know everything... and you'd need to know everything if you can do everything...

damn, i was gunna say that :p

okay, i'd have the power to move-really-fast-like-superman so i can get stuff done really quickly. or maybe mind control to instil revolutionary fervour in people and see what happened.

HAHAHA... animals talking! Surely you jest;)
Obviously not. Whenever something destroys all humans, animals (generally mice, for reasons that I can only call stupid) decide to suddenly start excercising that hidden talent for walking and verbal communication they've all got. They also become '80s rockers with lots of angst and invent the VW Beetle, but that is neither here nor there.

indeed...

Probably X-Ray vision. Works great in a locker room. ;)

why would you want X-ray vision in a locker room of your sex?

my power would be the ability to be a regular Joe that way I could avoid the complications of being a superhero/villain yet still somehow get the girl of my dreams

the power to make any woman i choose find me completely irrestible, oh yeah!

not that i'm pug ugly anyway, but to be able to land the 10's out there with as much ease as the two-baggers.

and it'd be fun to turn up at, say, the Oscars, and get Charlize Theron all wet whilst she's making her acceptance speech...

Oh, I thought Skeletor would want to kill He-man... but hey, we've all got priorities.

I would like the super power of Luck. No matter what I do I'd get Lucky.

The Power of immortality would be fun.
:rolleyes: :mp5:

that gave me an idea for another superpower. the power to be irresistible to women! :D
That could be the Kryptonite to your superpower. :p

I'm telling you guys, Invisibility and X-ray vision!
not enough. you also need intangiability. phasing ala Kitty Pryde. what good is being invisible if people /things can still bump into you. now, walking through the walls into the room... while invisible... :D

My ultimate superpower:

Superpower generation. I would have the power to give myself and anybody else I deem worthy superpowers.

Of course, I would have to keep that a well guarded secret. :p

so, can I have mine? please? pleasepleasepleaseplease...
of course, we at NS won't stoop so low... right LG?

Superpower deletion would have to come with that. If you can't make that, DO NOT GET DRUNK!

why would you want X-ray vision in a locker room of your sex?
Think about it. :rolleyes:

Being omnipotent, omniscient, almighty, and all-powerful in every other way, I need no other superpowers.
Think about it. :rolleyes:
Not everyone has the omniscience I am fortunately equipped with as the Ruler of the Multiverse, so not everyone understands your sexual preferences.

...the power to DESTROY ALL HUMANS...
That would be stupid for a very obvious reason—in destroying all humans, you would also destroy yourself, as you are a human (which I know with my powers of omniscience of course).

;)

Okay, Mr. God. What color underwear am I wearing?

yeah, else' you'd be pestered by eveyone wanting powers.

I'd tell all of you. You seem like the kind of people that can keep a secret. :p

I can answer that!


*stares* Umm...

Flesh colored... wait.... AAAHHHH!!! :eek:

Shows what you know, the guy is quite obviously a fruit. Just last week I saw him leafing through a Playgirl.

Time manipulation would be my preferred choice. Failing that, an unlimited stamina would do me fine.

Okay, Mr. God. What color underwear am I wearing?
Fah, I am not so insecure in my greatness that I must take these inane 'tests' to prove it to myself, for indeed no-one else would believe me in that case! ;)

Once I get my fingers on one of those rings that don't need any recharge ever all things are set and ready to go! I've got the imagination to handle that. http://www.planetdreamcast.com/dcvmuicons/images/GREENLAN.gif
(And in no way am I influenced negatively by yellow or anything else!)

Other than that - I'd be happy if I knew the ways of the Force... Bzzt!http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/sithlord.gifCrackle!

Dryness vision, hands down. You look at something and its suddenly dry, how cool is that?

Bugger all use if you're going down on someone, tbh.

Prophet of Fenrir, or some cool title like that.

Have the ability to turn into a wolf like demon with claws and fangs. Maybe a big sword, but who cares when you have a name like that.

i have a super power i can transform oxygen in to carbon dioxide

i have a super power i can transform oxygen in to carbon dioxide
Oh my God! He's like some sort of backwards-plant-thing! KILL IT, KILL IT!

Pre-cognition all the way, but then again I’m biased. I already have my own hero all worked out. :D

Making people happy.
I don't think I would need more...

I can't decide between flying and shape-shifting. I guess I could choose shape-shifting and then shift into something with wings to get the best of both worlds.

A portable Universal Constuctor!

A Make-anything-out-out-anything machine for people that haven't played Deus Ex.

the power to have many super powers.

being able to walk through walls and become a shadow, or being able to turn into a werwolf, hoyeah, and no, my name would not be the shadow. Stop steriotypeing me damnit!!!
Dissagree with me? Too bad, read my sig.

drink without getting drunk

I'd have the ability to change whatever signs I wanted. I -don't like a business - bam - it's advertising it's free murder evidence disposal service or whatever.

The power to be able to use super powers?

drink without getting drunk
Nah man, you've got that all wrong. Get reasonably drunk off one pint, then stay that way throughout the time you're drinking. You stay drunk for the rest of the night and wake up hangover free, safe in the knowledge that you didn't make a tit of yourself the night before. ;)

I wanna be able to speak every language on the planet(is that a superpower?)

drink without getting drunk

I am suddenly reminded of the old cliche that sometimes the worst thing that can happen is to get what you want.

Me, I'd just want to be a Kryptonian. That way, I get a lot more bang for the buck.

Amen

i wud love the power to read minds as then you can know what everyone is thinkin all the time.

I wud also like to freeze time - ooo just think of the things that you cud do...

I wanna be able to speak every language on the planet(is that a superpower?)

I would say so.

For me, the ultimate power would be the ability to manipulate the nerochemistry of others without the use of drugs... just imagine..... cause the penial gland to dump a full load of DMT into circulation in others or yourself at will....or cause spontanious orgasms....among a vast array of other effects....of corse...a power like that would have to be kept on the downlow lest you be murdered by government officials...or hounded by junkies forever....although....getting the whole world high at once would be well worth the hassle.....create massive doses of thc and OH-DMT (psilicybin) in the briains of every person on every battlefied....not many would die that day :) what a wonderfull world....


Failing that...if i was to be a fighter of evil...it would be the power to make people feel the full impact of thier actions on others, completely feeling the pain and suffering (or pleasure and joy) they have triggered in other people, animals, plants, the enviroment etc as if it were happening to them without end....kind of the power to turn on what we have disconnected from as a species...universial corsican brothers or something....and it would be a hella fun party trick for porno conventions....Arora Snow in a 24 hour orgasm would be even more fun to watch then her videos...hehehe :) and mabey the Slaphappy guys would change thier filmmakeing techinques too eh? Too bad it would have very little impact on politicians the majority being sociopaths or outright psychopaths already, and such an experence would olny bring them pleasure...but it would be a good way to weed out who should be executed:)

VIVA LA REVALUTION!

*stares at screen*

how long have you been thinking about this?

Me, I'd just want to be a Kryptonian. That way, I get a lot more bang for the buck.

problem: if you accept being a kryptonian, there logically must be a krypton, meaning there's kryptonite. kinda a pain in the ass. go for kryptonian abilities, without actually being kryptonian.

What's your superpower?

If you were a superhero, or villain, what would your superpower be?
Omnipotency. Or is that cheating?
