Super powers.........

[Kortney]

Able to turn on and off invisibility. You would be able to do anything.

 

[Marik2]

Power thats only limited by my imagination... and boy do I have loads of imagination

 

[Drake_Dercon]

Time travel. Hands down.
Being allowed to visit important events of the past and furture in the detail of actually being there would be amazing to say the least. Seeing human technology and culture at both its best and worst would give a good perspective (plus using that technology would be spectacular). Not to mention seeing our planet's life from beginning to end (with the proper equipment, of course), applying the same to our galaxy, the universe. It would be cool, to say the least. And rules? I do physics, I wouldn't be altering time in my original universe (unless, of course, I already had or already will), and given that it would happen anyway somewhere, I don't see how even major screw-ups could do anything but give me another chain of events to explore.

I'm assuming, of course, that immortality comes with the whole deal (and if I get to go anywhere in the future, it probabaly does). If it doesn't, then rules apply A LOT.

Also, I'd change my name to Jack. Jack Harkness.

 

[lacktheknack]

Complete indestructibility. Imagine the possibilities...

 

[hihiyo72]

Time travel without any aging to myself.

Imagine no 9/11. No levy break during Hurricane Katrina. John Lennon being alive and making subpar music, as all famous musicians eventually do. No Holocaust. No Jesus ever being crucified. No fear of depicting Muhammad. No AIDS. No cancer. Acceptance of homosexuals and blacks much earlier. No anti-science crusade.

*sighs*

sighs I so agree but what would the world be like now?

 

[More Lemon Pledge]

I would definitely choose the ability to control time(including time travel) if that wasnt an option would choose flight.

If I had the power I know there'd be alot more pet penquins in the world.

Though I would earn my money by writing a majority of hit songs and selling them to the artists that would've came up with them themselves.

 

[Cliff_m85]

I would have to say the Powers of the Avatar.

The power to be full of fail while in live-action form?

 

[Slenn]

Anything? Electromagnetism. Why? Let's see:

Electric Breakdown of Air into Plasma
Electrocution
Magnetic Fields
Lightning Bolts
High Energy Photons
Lasers

And so much more is included with the powers of Electromagnetism. I've seen heros and villains use electricity and magnetism as before, but I personally don't think they'd be knowledgable as I am about the topic of EM. After all, I dressed up as my OC EMily for Halloween. Seriously Magneto and Static Shock, give me a break. I could totally kick your butt in a battle of EM.

 

[BlastedTheWorm]

I'd love to be able to do a hadouken.

Is that a super power?

Ha thats funny that would be AWESOME

 

[Logic 0]

Perfect time control, then I can show up all of those uppity physicists that time control is possible.

 

[Spade Lead]

If I could have a super power, it would be the power to be Batman.

That was what made Batman so awesome. He didn't have any supernatural powers making him better than the average man, he was all natural, with just some technological advantages. Anyone with the right skills could wear the Bat Suit, and that makes him a much better superhero than say, Superman, who didn't break a sweat no matter what he was up against, because he is invincible.

 

[LogieBear]

Without being an enormous cheating douchebag id have either Shapeshifting (size included)
Or instant teleportation, that means I could use super fast speed and flying. And if it was teleportation, no noise or lightshow just *poof* as if I was there in the first place

 

[MajinDevil65]

Superspeed, so I don't need a lousy car to get around, also I can punch people so fast they don't realize I punched them. Also to stop crime and maybe cheat at cards.

You do realize that with no crucifixion and no Holocaust, the world would be a much worse place right? The casual and blatant racism against ALL non-whites in the early '40s and before was so bad that the Holocaust was inevitable. If it had never happened, the lax attitude towards racism would have continued probably even today. After all, we would have no example of why we SHOULDN'T be racist. Yes, the Holocaust was a truly despicable and atrocious act, but if it hadn't happened, the world would be far less accepting than it is today for any race.

Proof: Look at how the Japanese treated their prisoners of war in World War Two. Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler did Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and other minorities combined. American Survivors of World War Two have spoken about the mistreatment of Prisoners in Abu Ghraib. They said something along the lines of "Oh yeah, we used to do that to prisoners in World War Two as well." Then, of course, look at the lynchings in the south that took place all the way into the '60s, and to this day still occur sporadically. Men and women were hung, beaten, and burned simply for the crime of being caught being black in the wrong area at the wrong time.

You have to look at the bigger picture when you want to go around messing with time.

 

[manaman]

Isn't magic a superpower in both major comic universes? Yes, yes it is.

You could pretty much do anything with magic so why would you want other superpowers?

 

[captaincabbage]

The ability to transform into animals

Animorphs, eat your heart out.
Seriously, as far as transforming goes, animorphs has the perfect ability/disability toss up, since you can transform the last animal you touched, so something like a dog or cat is obvious and cool enough, but if you were trying to be a tiger or something, you'd have some trouble.

OT: I'd have to go with the power of freezing time, but as a side effect, I can only freeze it for a total of one hour per day.

 

[loc978]

Metahuman regenerative durability as described in the Marvel Super Heroes tabletop RPG
