Poll: If you could bend one element, what would it be?

[Glerken]

Air simply because I'd be able to fly.
And some other fun things.
Like a misdirected gust of wind under a skirt.

 

[LINKXIII]

Air without it you just die

 

[demonsaber]

Fire. I would go on a rampage destroying the entire city until someone finally takes me out. (I would of course be keeping enough fire around me to melt any bullets that should come my way)

Why does everyone seem to think that just because the bullet has melted it's harmless?! It's the bane of my star wars arguments! Lightsabres don't stop them just because they might melt them!

You're still getting hit by 1200+mph Blobs of Molten metal. They're still going in, except now they'll burn you, too!

/rant

I choose water!

Assuming I have the unholy power to shoot fire from my hands, we could also assume that I could heat the metal enough to separate the compounds that make it up and thus I get hit with molecules as opposed to solid (or liquid) material.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Probably earth cause somebody's probably just gonna die if i could control fire.

 

[martin's a madman]

Uranium....owned

 

[Jonny The Kay]

oh I dunno to use any of em would be cool but I guess if i had to pick... Water?

 

[xxDarlenexx]

Water - because it can be both nourishing AND destructive. Good for any occasion!

 

[cptjack42]

Air. It's all around us. That and you can increase the air pressure around someone and crush them (not necessarily to death) for fun.

And for this Tenacious D quote:

"What powers you ask?
How about the power of flight?
That's levitation, Holmes.
How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...
With mind bullets!"

 

[philosophicalbastard]

I'm going with air for the unbelievably large increase in agility and the ability to fly.

Yes, molecules of Iron(Fe) or Lead(Pb).

Oxygen, so that I could draw it out of areas in order to suffocate masses of people through slow, horrific suffocation.

 

[hagaya]

I would like to bend the element of surprise.

 

[Alucarde666]

for me it goes
1. Water
2. Air
3. Fire
4. Earth
Water is everywhere and most useful and very versatile (attack, defense, healing, and for water to drink and live in dry places like deserts.) of them. then air it is also everywhere and has many uses as well. fire is 3rd because I'm a pyromaniac and earth is therefor last.

 

[BlackKraken]

My immature side is in hysterics about the constant mention of "bending".

I want to be a bender.

XD
(Might just be funny to me from UK as "bender" has a.... certain meaning)

 

[Dorian]

Air. What on Earth is more fun than flying around and sneezing yourself 10+ feet in the air?!? Also. A thought just came. What happens when wind breaks?

 

[sokka14]

earth benders are the hardest easily, but if bloodbending was possible all the time (rather than just on a full moon) waterbenders would rule.

for every day life i'd still choose earth, there's so much you could manipulate around yourself, it would be amazing.

that's telekinesis kyle.
you see, even TD couldn't think of anything beyond flying.

 

[mocruz1200]

i chose fire, because it gets the added bonus of electricity
EDIT:and if you could control electricity, you could theoredically make magnetic fields with it, making bullets shot at you basically useless

 

[Xrysthos]

Time/space would definitely be the ultimate option, but I'll have to go with Earth, as it seams to be superior to say fire in terms of everyday usage.

 

[TheTygerfire]

The lack of a HEART! option saddens me.
