Personality-Based Superpowers. What are yours?

[Iwana Humpalot]

I swear i have seen this thread before, but here it goes..

Well, I'm very quiet and shy, so I'd probably get invisibility.

Either that, or I could heal others, because I like to help people.

In my opinion, both would be pretty kick-ass abilities.

Why not to have both? I would personally have exacly these powers.

 

[Shellsh0cker]

Probably the "mental exemplar" package. For those of you not familiar with the Whateley Universe [http://crystalhall.org/], basically eidetic memory, savant-level mental calculation, and the ability to pick up new skills and grasp new concepts very quickly.

 

[GLo Jones]

Invulnerability, and the ability to let moving objects phase through me (eg: landslide, bus, rain). Generally a disconnection from external influences.

 

[R1CK_D0M]

Personality based? I'd be able to freely control doors, reflecting my laziness level that is so high that I don't even want to have to open a door.

 

[T0MINATOR]

I would have power over all atoms, because it is the most awesome power, and I'm a pretty awesome guy

 

[IronStorm9]

The ability to induce apathy and the urge to procrastinate in those around me. I would be called Iwastoolazytothinkupaname Man!

 

[Vidiot]

I'd have some kind of temporal control. I tent to procrastinate on important projects, then through some miracle, get 16 hours of work done in the 4 hours before it's due. I guess I'd be able to stop and slow time to allow myself to get shit done *just* before the deadline.

Oh, yeah, and I suppose that would let me save people and stuff too.

 

[robincb]

Yeah some mind power is probably most likely, i am a very persuasive person, i love to have discussions about stuff. I am also the one who asks philosophic questions and over analyzes everything, im the one that gets asked questions because i like random facts.

But im also very lazy so control over time might just be possible as well

(more time to chill)

 

[plugav]

My laziness would give me the power to slow down time.
Slight social awkwarness would grant me invisibility.
And my helpfulness would spawn the ironic ability to heal others at the expense or my own health.

Oh, and sometimes the powers would "reverse." I'd be superfast, awe inspiring and able to suck the life out of people.

I'd be able to start random musical numbers. In real life. On the fly

There was a demon who sort of did that in one episode of Buffy. Of course, his victims burst into flames...

 

[Baldry]

Looks like I have loads of powers, I can...
Read minds
Go invisible
Travel through time and space
Use my hair to do stuff
Kill anyone instantly
Ninja skills
I can screw gravity
The ability to love everyone
And others I'd say...

 

[mrdude2010]

either invisibility or the ability to teleport only to isolated areas

 

[JokerCrowe]

I already have a superpower I call "Empathy", so I guess if things were to go the extreme, maybe control people's emotions? Or maybe read minds?

Although I would like to have Telekinesis.

EDIT: Or, since I have very vivid imagination and what some would call a "loose" grip on reality - I might be able to create alternate realities or maybe pull people into fictional realities. Like videogames.
Mess with me and I'll give you Amnesia. >

 

[Arrogancy]

I'm an arrogant jackass who looks down on everyone else. So my power would be generating fields of energy and loosing them at will.

 

[Crimson King]

The power of invisiblity via complete inconspicuousness.

 

[BKtheKITTY]

Personality based superpowers would just be a recipe for villainy... And also pretending you're super hot an sexually active on the internet? I would get super great at buying cheap DVDs, and going to bed early. My weakness would be CAPTCHA'S, and my catchphrase: "-The hell does that say?"

 

[Chromanin]

I'd be able to kill people just with my hatred of them.

Good thing I don't have that power or I think most of the escapist forums would be wiped out by now.

Edit: Actually scratch that, most of the planet would.

I think you and I would have the same power.

Either that or I'd have kind of a Hulk thing(Ha! A Hulk-Thing). I'm kind of bipolar(figuratively) in that I can go from being competely calm and passive to raging demon with very little provocation. So I'd probaby have super-strength directly linked to my aggression.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

If I could be a superhero,
I would be Awesome Man!
I'd fly around the world fighting crime,
according to my Awesome plan.
And if I saw criminals trying to lie,
hurting other people and making them cry.
I'd haul them off to jail in my Awesome Van.
Because I would be Awesome Man.




Maybe I should just be regular.....don't like where this is going.

Nice Stephen Lynch reference. Such an awesome song =p

OT: Since I'm quite shy with lowish self-esteem, I would most likely have invisibility.
I don't like seeing others hurt (mentally or physically) so maybe empath and healer.
I like to role-play alot and make up different characters so shape-shifting is probably there.
And my incredible laziness means I would probably have telekinesis so I'd never have to get up.
Also my love of animals probably means I'd be able to communicate with them.
Man that's alot of epic powers.

 

[Nyerion]

I asked some friends and they all agreed that I would be something like Toad, that guy from X-men...

I guess they think the only way I could be creepier was I could crawl across the ceiling. That or they were really impressed when I showed them that I can lick my own elbow.

 

[moosek]

I'm fairly snide and deadpan, but I'm also pretty creative. I'm guessing some energy-manipulation somewhat like green lantern. Only the green lantern's outfit is stupid, so I'd wear something more casual.

 

[WanderingFool]

Well, in truth, I dont typically go looking for fights, I try to avoid trouble and seek compromises (though also I try to seek a compromise in my favor.)Im also pretty organize for the most part, planning how things will go down, whether its an outline for a school report, planning travel for the least amount of time and money wasted, or a strategy for dealing with a level in a videogame.

So I would have some kind of stealth power, charm/persuade or mind control, and/or the ability to foresee how a particular action or choice will affect the overall outcome of a particular event. Hell, most of these are basically psychic powers (the stealth could be simply me mentally telling another persons mind im not there.)
