You can choose one super power, what will it be?

[thirion1850]

Reality warping.

God is dead. This world is mine.

 

[Saidan]

Inmortality, complete with no aging, no degeneration, no diseases, no physical/mental limits, unable to be killed by any mean. This will grant me the time to top all my human skills, then I can search for ways to achieve other powers. Wanna be Vandal Savage, pretty much.

 

[Angelous Wang]

Invulnerability.

Think of all the awesome things I could do!

I could jump out of airplanes without a parachute.
I could run through traffic.
I could calmly walk through burning buildings.
I could rewire my house without turning off the electricity.
I'd never need to use oven mitts ever again.
I could go to Africa to pet the adorable lions.

I could do everything normal people are afraid of doing.

You could be locked into a stone coffin for centuries, slowly going insane in the dark, unable to end the torment...
You could watch everything you care about rot into dust...
Being safe yourself doesn't do much in my opinion unless it is also paired with the ability to act.

Invulnerability isn't immortality, it doesn't stop aging, so I would still die of old age.

Its a weird kind of invulnerability that would not protect from the kind of cellular degradation that marks aging of the body. Its just another source of physical harm.

Ageing is not cellular degradation, your cells do not degrade. Your cells are continuously destroyed (by your own body) and replaced with new-older versions, that is how humans age.

 

[theheroofaction]

The power to get new powers whenever I want.

This is the ultimate power.

 

[mysecondlife]

Ability to kill anyone just by thinking about them dying and clicking my finger.

What if you can't click?

the objective best superpower which is to be able to beatbox while kissing

What if you have no mouth?

Time manipulation. Like the one from Prince of Persia. I dream for it every time these threads come up.

What if you died before you were born?

I think I would remove my ability to become bored or depressed, then my life would just be fucking fantastic.

I like to follow Back to the Future's application of time travel.

 

[Zaldin]

Obviuosly, the power to grant infinite wishes.
Well ok, thats kinda cheating.

Chronokinesis. Complete control of time with me not being affected by time freezes. (As in aging as long as time is frozen, technically not being able to breathe when time is frozen, no hunger/sleep etc) Can take who/whatever I want into those timestops, they also drop out if I drop out of it.

Wait, so there is a technical term for something i wanted to write. not only i got ninja'd but also educated. DAMN.

Not sure if it's the technical term for it, I simply threw the terms for time (That being chronus) with the suffix of kinesis (for movement) So it's basically the 'movement' of time, and influencing that movement.

Its a real thing: http://psi.wikia.com/wiki/Chronokinesis
And its... similar.

I just usually call it "Time manipulation".

Also known as the Zack Morris "Time Out".

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Shape shifting, so then I could form my own body into weapons so I'd never be caught defenseless, and take any form I want.

 

[dementis]

Time manipulation all the way. If you slow down time and move at your usual speed everyone would perceive your movement as super fast, your reactions would appear amazingly quick and you could rectify any of your mistakes by rewinding time and trying again.

I can't see how anyone could really go up against someone who can control time.

 

[TallanKhan]

Imortality, can't be killed and won't die from old age (and in the not aging sense, rather than the in 300 years being a walking corpse but still alive sense).

 

[Johnny Impact]

Super speed.

I never seem to have enough time. Now I can get a full night's sleep in two seconds, do all my housework in less, read every book ever, maybe write a few dozen of my own, "hike" across America at mach 1......endless possibility.

 

[Artemicion]

Adjust probability of outcomes.

What's the probability I'll win the lottery? What's the probability your gun is going to misfire and blow your hand off? What's the probability Half Life 3 is announced within the hour?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'd go with flight, provided I could mentally control how fast I'm going and my body would be adapted to handle extreme accelerations.

 

[Robert Marrs]

Imortality, can't be killed and won't die from old age (and in the not aging sense, rather than the in 300 years being a walking corpse but still alive sense).

What if you get tired of living? I would imagine after a few thousand or even a few hundred years you might just be ready to go. What then?

 

[Queen Michael]

Teleportation, like Azazel in X-Men: First Class.

 

[Lunar Templar]

spiritual conduit :3

why have ONE super power when you can get SEVERAL from one source

 

[Madman123456]

Screwing around with the laws of physics would be fun.
I'd like to be able to stop time please.
Now if i only could figure out how not to destroy the universe...
I'f i where to stop time, air resistance would trap me in place because with time moving slower then i can perceive, air would move out of my way rather slowly. Even so, i'd drag a blastwave of compressed air behind me.
If i where to actually stop time, the tiniest movement would have me hit some particle outside of "me"; anything outside the magical field that would envelop my body, with unlimited speed.

I would be willing to take that chance. I have never really understood the whole tired of living thing, I mean, I get that someone very old and infirm might find themself ready to give up if their whole life is just a daily uphill struggle, but I can't imagine a point where I would fundamentally get tired of life.

There is a whole world to explore, not just to see, but to understand, and beyond. And I do not except the whole "what about when you have done/experienced everything?" premis, because the universe, and even our little world is changing and creating all the time, producing new things to see and offering up new experiences.

Plus, I want a an unimaginably huge, Scrooge McDuck style pile of money, and my rather competitive nature would demand it be bigger than anyone elses so i would imagine it might take me a few hundred years before I had even climbed that ladder and looked to move on to something else.

 

[DarkB]

Direct manipulation of the electromagnetic force.

Because who doesn't want to be god?

Yeah, Magneto has been wasting his life on cheap parlour tricks.
