Mind reading. It's not so much that I can at the moment tell what people are thinking, but people open up to me...all the time, so I guess the best way to translate that into a power would be a knowledge of what they in the real world will eventually tell me anyway.

The Code said:
This is a question posed to me by a friend of mine earlier tonight, and I was wondering what my fellow Escapists would say in response. The question is:

If you were struck by some vague, non-specific twist of reality and given superpowers based on your personality, what would they be?

The Fantastic Four, as my friend pointed out, are one such example. Ben is strong, tough, and stubborn, Johnny is a cocky hotshot, etc. What about you, my fellow Escapists? What would your powers be? Mine would probably be color clones, control and manipulation over sound, luck, and exceptional skill and coordination with firearms and incendiary explosives.
Mind reading. I'm very good at reading body language and diction so it would have to be mind reading.

Superb analytical prowess and a mind blast a la Telepath Rpg, wherein I transmit the mad gibbering in my head into the minds of others to destroy their feeble connection to sanity.

Ah, hell... I don't know.

Maybe some ultra analysis powers. Mind reading for certain. I have this obsession for details and wanting to know why people do the things that they do. Uh... maybe my hair will change color depending on my mood. If I'm happy, it will glow yellow. If I'm said, then it'll glow blue.

Yeah, there's like nothing overly awesome about my personality I can think of at the moment besides all that.

Oh, oh! Maybe I can take fictional things and bring them into existence. Yeah... That would be bloody sweet and it's certainly up there with my creativity and love of all things fiction.

I'd gain the ability to turn invisible to the opposite sex especially. I just sorta blend into the crowds I am in already. Or I'd gain encyclopedic levels of useless knowledge.

Also whatever the ability to control animals and nature is. I'm good with animals and bad with people, so invisibility? (Actually camoflauge and the ability to blend in with nature sounds more appropriate)

I'd hope to get some form of flight with my naturey powers as well, I think I deserve that lol

But if not nature, then some form of mind control. That way I could make old rich people buy me stuff (the scroogy type, not the nice type).

Why is it that most people here believe their personality-based power would involve either extreme violence or manipulation/deception?

That doesn't really bode well for the Escapist community...

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.

Stir peanut butter with my mind. Definitely. Defeat my foes with excellent PB&J sammiches.

No, actually, I couldn't say. It would probably be something mental; something akin to my assorted and random knowledge.
