With those 4 you could do absolutly anything
With those 4 you could do absolutly anything
1. Immortality, I think. Preferably of the sort that overlaps with invincibility, but perfect regeneration style is fine as well.
2. Demiurge. The ability to create ex-nihilo. This is absolutely critical in the extreme long run. Given the likely end of the universe, when everything has more or less burned out and you're left with an unbelievably huge, boring, frigid blackness with myself floating withing it, it would be very nice to be able to bring in new matter and energy that would prolong existence indefinitely.
3. Surpeme Mental Control. This would be useful against others, occasionally, but moreso myself. The ability to make myself more intelligent as needed to solve problems, to control my feelings and emotions would simplify life considerably. Mostly though, modification of memory. By installing mental "locks" that can be deactivated with pre-programed situations, I can lock away knowledge of my own abilities, allowing me to lead a normal life when I wish. The pre-programed situations would likely be something along the lines of "in grave danger" or "a situation my mundane skills are incapable of handling but is not particularly important". This also translates into a mental bullet time, allowing me to come up with plans, predictions etc. far faster than anything can reach me. Perfect memory as I want it is also good. Very versatile, although not so much as the 2nd power. Helps keep me sane while living forever.
4. Pseudo-Omniscience. To actually know everything and retain my mind MIGHT be possible with power 3, but I really don't WANT that. Sure, I like to be knowledgeable, but the occasional pleasant surprise would be nice. Thus, instead of being truly all-knowing, I'd prefer to have some means of learning what I want to know at any given moment.
I think that's about it. I like to think my eternity would be interesting.

Nope. But you're pretty mcuh dead on the inside at that point since there is no-one in the world you care about.chris11246 said:
Imortality/ Indestructibility: Because who doesn't want to live forever?
Shapeshifting: Because sometimes you want to be someone or something else.
Teleportation: Because I don't want to take the bus.
Infinite brain capacity. Because what good is immortality, shapeshifting and teleportation if you can't control it or remember anything.

I wish to have an ability that would allow me to use any ability I want at any time I want.
So yeah this topic is done.

Only one, and that would be the ability to manipulate reality at will.
You could have/do/be anything you wanted, anytime, anywhere.

I'd probably take up yoga alongside it.
waterbreathing would not really help since well.. your body could not handle you diving far down into water anyways.. ofcourse you could stay under water for along time, but i can't think of to manny uses. Also flying, when you fly fast and hit something (like a bird, dodging those at high speed would be a *****) you would probably get hurt.. alot.. : p and as earlier mentioned, invisibility would render you blind for it to work.imnotparanoid said:
also someone mentioned enchanced hearing? what if someone were to shout into your ear.. really loud?
you'd need an ability to filter out sounds that would damamge your ears.. : >
