What's your superpower..?

[Raddra]

Simple question that gets tossed around the more geeky circles a lot.

if you could have one superpower, what would it be?

For further thought exercise.

Why?

What would you do with it?

I would personally go for shapeshifting. Why? Its highly versatile. I could fly, I could get in where I wanted to go, I could mend injuries, I could simply stay young.

I would personally just use it to live freely and travel the world.

How about you? Remember, just one power.

Flight or laser vision.
For me the most fun requiring the least amount of mental exertion.

 

[Tartarga]

Is immortality a super power? If so, I would use it to freak people out. Maybe I throw myself in front of a bus, stand back up and just walk off like nothing happened. Anyone who saw that would be thoroughly confused.

 

[Ignuus66]

the ability to do anything, be anything,(EDIT know everything), and anything I want to happen happens

 

[gellert1984]

Summon any fictional superhero by speaking their name out loud.

Cos summoning the punisher jenny sparks and Kal'el seems like a good idea when aliens are invading.

Also it sort of bypasses the one power rule.

 

[Comrade_Beric]

I'd choose the Soviet Union.

Why? Because unlike everything else in this list, it really existed.
What would I do with it? Win this time (all villains say that though)

 

[Quaxar]

Scarlet Witch?

OT: To manipulate molecules. I'm a god, bitches!

 

[SckizoBoy]

I will take this opportunity to stroke my ego [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.279279-Telekinesis?page=1]

Anyway, despite that thread, I favour telepathy (mind reading, thought projection, thought/sensory manipulation etc.): 'cos I can fuck with people's heads all day long, it's shapeshifting of a sort (though not when cameras are concerned, but that's a price I'm willing to pay). And it offers the chance to go on a sudden death syndrome rampage.

EDIT:

the ability to do anything, be anything, and anything I want to happen happens

So, what you're saying is that you're in possession of an infinite improbability drive...

 

[Akytalusia]

i'd want the ability to tap into the akashic record at will. then i could figure out my purpose, serve it, and live the rest of my life with the peace of mind that i did good and die without any regrets.

Scarlet Witch?

nope, basically I would be an omnipotent entity (or a diety)

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Weapon Creation! XD

I see what you did there

 

[Chappy]

If anyone can define it i'll have whatever Commander Shepard has.

Failing that I'm going to go with Schrödinger's power from Hellsing to exist as long as I am aware of myself or as they describe it 'I think, therefore I am.'

See Heroes for the answer to your question

OT: I'd have to go with telekinesis and/or other telepathic powers. Simple reason is almost exactly what you said OP. The ability to live free, be able to fly, etc. Long as I didn't draw attention to myself, anyway...

 

[The Afrodactyl]

The inability to die (unless I so choose) or feel pain.

Other than that, I'd be a normal human, but not horrendously powerful in superhero terms; I'd still have to learn to fight or use a gun, or both.

 

[spectrenihlus]

Time Control.(with anti paradox abilities)

Literally nothing could stop me.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

I say it every time: the power to make anyone orgasm on touch. Imagine the film that would make, my nemesis would always have to be wearing a condom.

 

[Old Father Eternity]

Immortality with an infinite capacity to learn and memorize. Sure One'd be pretty darn insane by the end but it's not like One is all there to begin with.

 

[Aprilgold]

to be god, what? Thats wrong? No, not be a god, have the POWERS of a god, like being able to create, smite and control life, also the awesome ability to grow epic beards and float on a cloud. The nice benefit would also be immorality. Thats a power right there.

 

[Erana]

I'm gonna use a random power generator [http://www.springhole.net/generators/laboratory.htm]!

"You slowly swallow the pill and you observe that you are growing a pair of butterfly-like wings. When you wake up the next morning, you notice that your body slowly becomes more like plastic. You realize that you start to resemble a humanoid octopus. Just then, you realize that you have bird-like abilities."

Fuck.

Can I choose a different power? :/
