If you could have any superpower, what would it be? I would want to be a shape shifter, or a mind reader.

100% accurate teleportation anywhere I can visualize.

I would take the super-power that allows me to stop time long enough to sleep a few extra hours everyday.

You can call me... Snooze-Man!

Shape shifting or safe instant teleportation would be nice. Super longevity would be my 'power' of choice though.

I always thought telepathy and telekinesis would be awesome.

But, then again, controlling a fundamental force of the universe is much more powerful, so I'd probably go for that. I'd be the female Magneto.

The power to violate Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle as often as I chose.

Every time I think about this kind of thing, the list just gets longer. Then, I end up as God. Then, I get bored, and wander off to some more interesting part of the galaxy.

Invisibility

I'd like to be able to know when people are going to sneeze seconds before they do..


I couldn't be doing with the pressure of having a worthwhile power..

Can we use these powers for good or for awesome?

Rapid regenarion!

I want the ability to phase in and out of existence, kinda like a ghost

I already do have certain powers, and that is good enough for me.

Gesundheit!

I already do have certain powers, and that is good enough for me.

How about Flying? That has to be the ultimate power.

I want to have the power . . . to have all the powers I want.

I use my power . . . to turn Kyle into a chicken!

Maheheheheheh now you are a chicken!

Trilby63;12531012']Gesundheit!

:eek: I didn't sneeze, but i have a runny nose...Close enough!

:eek: I didn't sneeze, but i have a runny nose...Close enough!

Yeah... I'll work on it..

The ability to stop and restart time at will!
Being able to otherwise control it; reverse it, slow it down, speed it up; would also be cool. And so thoroughly abusable 3:^D

The ability to kill with a glance, because it's two powers in one: the power to kill, and the power to know exactly when someone is going to die.

Clairtangency. Clairtangency is a fusion of clairvoyance and telekinesis that allows me to 'view' distant and remote locations and to manipulate objects at those locations.

Just imagine me being able to wedgie anyone...anywhere. :)

The ability to summon an army of squirrels no matter where I am. Or wherever I am not. And nobody would know it was me.

I suggest Pat Robertson, or Chris de Burgh.

I'd have to go with Time manipulation. Go to Vegas, win at roulette/poker/ blackjack/whatever. Then use the money to fund a project in which I irradiate myself with just the right sort of nuclear blast to give myself MORE super powers. And, if the experiment instead gives me some sort of lethal radiation sickness, I just reverse time and try again until it works! I keep doing this until I become God-like in power.

Matter Creation/Destruction.

So basically creating and destroying objects at will.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? I would want to be a shape shifter, or a mind reader.

The ability to convert myself into a spirit, and go out of my head, into other's, through walls, etc.

Unlimited ability to manipulate the space time continuum.

I just want to be able to express myself better. I have a tough time with words and I can't draw worth a damn, despite my vivid imagination. So, I suppose I want Super Creativity: able to learn any language, with extreme fluency, as well as draw, paint, and otherwise create art like a freaking Rembrandt or Michalangelo.

I want the ability to give people explosive diarrhea at will. It would be my escape move. If someone has a gun pointed at me, I just give them explosive diarrhea. Immediately, they grab their butt to see what's going on down there, allowing me to escape before they can react.

...

soo many choices...

Matter Creation = Food. ability to create any food item, cooked or raw. if it can be safely eaten, then I can create it.

Probability Control Good Luck or bad... it's all up to me.

Biological Manipulation can cause others to experience sensations of pain or pleasure with a thought

Omnipotence.

Hey, it IS a superpower!

The ability to instantly make any object would be nice.

100% accurate teleportation anywhere I can visualize.

Same.

Alchemy

Alchemy

You do know that alchemy, to an extent, is real, right? I mean sure, the stuff you see in Full Metal Alchemist isn't real, but there are other, less magical forms of alchemy which exist.

Point taken, but yeah, i so meant the Full Metal Alchemist kind ^.^

Omnipotence, and if I can't have that then power of time. Stopping and speeding up, but when it is stopped I want to be able to move at regular speed. That means I can do WHATVEVA I WANT!!... while time is stopped....:headbang: :upyours:

;) :p :p :p

The ability to control wave functions (aka probability control taken to its logical conclusion) would be very appealing to me. :)

telekinesis at the atomic level.

I'd be able to re-arrange matter to become whatever i want. control of magnetic fields, movement of matter (which means i could fly), etc..

;) :p :p :p

Soooo... New people still using smilies non-stop?

Superpowers I already have include the power to confuse anyone and the power to predict when toast is going to be ready.
If I'm making toast, I'll always walk back into the kitchen and it'll pop, right there. One time, I even squwered (sp?) it in mid-air. Which was cool.
And it's not just toast, either. It works with anything you can put in a toaster. Even waffles.:cool: Right now, I'm working on extending my powers to work with microwaves and ovens. I can't seem to get the dryer though, that thing is conflicted... :p

Powers I would like? Must choose them carefully. Too good and I'll have too much responsibility. Has to be somewhat plausible...

Let's go with being able to see auras. That way I'll be able to literally see how people are feeling :)

Godhood. The ultimate superpower.

Any superpower? Well then I guess I'd have to go with Superman's original power: the ability to make up new powers as I needed or desired them. What? So it's cheap but he really used to do that. Super-friction, -weaving, -hypnosis, -baking, etc.

Actually I'd go with complete control over air. Then I could blow peoples brains out or take them on a little trip down the road in their cubicles or classrooms with frozen or high-pressure gas, make it look like suicide sans gun or razor. That would confuse the hell out of people. Another fun trick would be making blood boil out of every hole in the body by removing the air from around a person. i could make lungs explode or collapse at a whim. That would be a cool power.

Prep-Time.


Failing that, the power to kill a yak. From two hundred yards away. With mind bullets.

This will be useful in the coming Yak Revolution.

Does this power also work against super-dense media icons?

Does this power also work against super-dense media icons?
no, for he wanted the power to kill a yak... just one yak... nothing else. :p

Then I use my power.....to gain the power of silencing media icons who have no regards for the opinions of others!

Silence, Rosie O'Donnell!
Silence, Bill O'Reilly!
Silence, G-Dub!
Silence, Pat Robertson!

I win!

You do know that alchemy, to an extent, is real, right? I mean sure, the stuff you see in Full Metal Alchemist isn't real, but there are other, less magical forms of alchemy which exist.

well yeah, it's called "chemistry".

Or, if you define alchemy as not something broad as "changing one thing into another" and more specific as "turning one element into another" it is called nuclear fission/fusion.

The power to give people (including me) superpowers.
I cheated the system! I win!:) :p

I'd like something along the line of Green Lantern.

I want to have the power . . . to have all the powers I want.

I use my power . . . to turn Kyle into a chicken!

Maheheheheheh now you are a chicken!

And then rip out Butters's eye with a throwing star!

But... I guess selective indestructibility would be nice.

easy: the power to bend time and space (((>.<)))

The ability to kill with a glance, because it's two powers in one: the power to kill, and the power to know exactly when someone is going to die.

It's like King Midas all over again...

Personally, I would choose the power to completely wipe all of my internet browsing records.

Oh, and nerdism. The power to be the nerdiest nerd in the world!!;)

Too bad turning base metals into to gold isn't cost effective in real life.

Personally, I would choose the power to completely wipe all of my internet browsing records.

I don't even wanna know.

I always want the ability to freeze time and be able to unfreeve specifice people, objects, etc. 'Twould be a lot of fun stacking cars on each other in midair. Setting people I don't like on their heads in midair so when time is unfroven they drop on their head. And more not-so-violent things I don't wish to divulge.

My superpower of choice would be to make Captain America not die so he can save the world.

CAP RULES!!!!!!, thank God Stephen Colbert nominated ALfonso Gonzolez as next Cap ( Not because its gonzalaz but because theres a new cap.)

The power not to miss. Beating people with powers is simple, all you need is the right gear. But hitting them is the inherent problem and this one sorts it out. Case in point read Wanted.

but how about the power



to move you

I want the power to say a magic word and get the powers one random hero from this list:

Thor, Beast, Black Canary, Daredevil, Martian Manhunter, Jean Grey, Raven, Storn, Aquaman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Zatanna, Scarlet Witch, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, Atom, Hawkman, Invisible Woman, Colossus, Ghost Rider, Beast Boy, Cyclops, Wonder Woman, Wolverine, Captain Marvel, Gambit, Vision, the Flash, the Thing, Angel, Superman, Wonderman, Cyborg, the Hulk, the Human Torch, Plastic Man, Rogue, Starfire, Tempest, Wasp, Green Lantern, Iceman or Mr. Fantastic.

They last 24 hours and I don't get to choose whose powers I get.

I'd want to have the superpower that allows me to use science to resolve all my questions.

Mind you, Henry McCoy (http://www.marvel.com/universe/Beast) comes pretty darned close.

They last 24 hours and I don't get to choose whose powers I get.

It's nice that you include a limitation on your own powers. (So do I!)

Henry McCoy is awesome. Kelsey Grammar played him well.

Henry McCoy is awesome. Kelsey Grammar played him well.

I think so, too.

Super-flatulence! :D

To change the world around me the way that I saw fit.

Total control over time!

fast forward, slow down, instant replay, pause, play etc.

I select the power of Verbal Infallibility.

Essentially, whatever I say...IS.

I can change myself in any way imaginable, and back again.
I can give myself any superpower, change my age, race, gender, etc.
I can change others in the same fashion.
I can travel to anywhere at any time, I can alter the flow of time (slower or faster).
I can even travel to fictional places.
I can eliminate my need for sleep or food.

I can do anything else...so long as I can form the concept into words.

I could even tell myself to not be bored, and I wouldn't be bored anymore.

The first thing I would do with this power would be to make myself into an incarnation of evil, amass myself an unbeatable sci-fi dream team army, and conquer the universe.

I could do it with simply a spoken word, but the old fashioned way is more fun...and I can't lose. :D

So well thought out . . . I can't argue with that. Although, I'd have to say that Batman's superpower would be the shit.

The ability to speed my mind up ad infinitum. From there, all other things can be found. Plus, I can prevent the existence of Pun Pun the Kobold.

My favorite superpower is rather insane: I want instant understanding of the infrastructure behind every object I touch.

Alternatively, the ability to get online with only the powers of my mind. :)

could be very dangerous....
You would have to be careful with what you say.

Imaging you forget to do something and you say "DAMN I'm such a twat" or something similar. Sure could be fun and a great party trick, but if you have´nt got vocal cords you'll be stuck like that...

I think time travel would be cool.

Time travel is great but cheap. Force lightning would be cool.

Explosive murder. I can explode at any time and then respawn unharmed. There are sooooo many ways this could be used.
For example:
Jumpt off a skyscraper and explode just before I hit the ground. It would look like I hit the ground, exploded and then stood up unharmed.

Also, I could do a Mr. Creosote.

This topic again?

My answer still hasn't changed.

I want to be able to cause spontaneous orgasms in others at will.

You win the thread.

You'd have people lining up to be the first to die via excessive orgasm.

You could charge them a significant fee...it's not like they'll need the money. :p

Monetary gain is insignificant. I'd rule the world. No politician would be safe (I could make any look like a gibbering idiot during the most serious speech or debate), make instant friends with anyone, disable any attacker (think about it... you think you could care out an attack at that critical moment?) and distract anyone enough for me to get away with about anything I wanted.

All while harming no one... in fact quite the opposite.:cool:

I would take the super-power that allows me to stop time long enough to sleep a few extra hours everyday.

You can call me... Snooze-Man!

Of course, from everyone else's perspective you'd age incredibly fast.

The ability to turn Super Saiyan. :D

Ability to open dimensional doors to other places within and outside this universe. Not the same as teleporting, in that I'd be able not only to step through them, but also to make something "fall" on someone else, or, if in a fight with some really troublesome villain, open up a door to the bottom of the ocean right above him (crushed by water pressure on land). Plus, ability to go to other universes would make me able to drink the Holy Grail, or use other literature, especially fantasy, to my advantage.

I would have invisibility, or maybe a cowl-of-the-gray-fox kinda thing, and telekinesis. Uber-thief, steal things without touching them :cool:

I would have invisibility and telekinesis. Uber-thief, steal things without touching them :cool:

I could TELEPORT stuff into my hand. Valuable stuff. Without risking getting caught in infra-red. ;)

I'll go with the guy who said Superman's original power, plus I want to be immune to kryptonite.:p

I'd want the ability to rewind time 1-2 hours, but with the knowledge I have gained in that time. Think of all the good I could do.

Also, imagine how often I could win Powerball. :D

My superpower of choice would be to make Captain America not die so he can save the world.

CAP RULES!!!!!!, thank God Stephen Colbert nominated ALfonso Gonzolez as next Cap ( Not because its gonzalaz but because theres a new cap.)

There's already a new Captain America.

The ability to steal other peoples powers?

The ability to locally change the Planck length in a target at will.

The ability to steal other peoples powers?

Sylar, you evil bastard! Stop sawing off people's heads!

I want the power to change my form at will and back again.

Upgradability!

Immortality + eternal youth. Maybe with shapeshifting thrown in. I think that fits the theme.

In all of my dreams, I can use telekinesis requiring hand motions, and I can fly. In some dreams I can resurrect people. In some dreams I'm all strong enough to grab people by the legs and swing them back and forth like Bam Bam, hitting the person's head on the ground.

The power to violate Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle as often as I chose.

Good choice!

There's too many pages to read and for me to say what (at this time), but i'll say it has to do with electrostatic repulsion.

Upgradability!

Doomed.

The ability to remotely vaporize other posters on Internet forums, so that wherever they are, they turn into a set of smoking footprints in front of their family members or co-workers.
