If you could have one superpower. . . .

The nice thing about telekinesis, is that it is overwhelmingly powerful. If you can lift a paper cup, you can do just about anything that modifies the properties of matter and gravity, moderated only by distance. With a single thought I could make a sandwich from across the room (which would be most of my usage), or crack the Moon in half (if I have the range).
 
If you went to sleep for 8 hours every night but only a few minutes passed in real time you would be aging 8 hours faster a day than everyone else. After a decade or so people would start commenting on how crap you looked.

Or they'd be amazed at how awesome I look because of how much more sleep I get than everyone else!

Actually, you would age even faster, cause you would sleep 2-3 times a day instead if just once. Your lifespan would be cut in half. There would be nothing gained.

You are the ruiner of fun.
 
Thanks for your participation! I have gathered data from 17 forums about what super power they want and got a total of 204 total superpowers and 155 powers are different from each other! Now that I have a list of all theses powers, I have decided to give them back to you in the form of a random chance gumball machine!

If you care to take a chance at the random power gumball machine say you do and I shall put all 204 powers into a random list sorter and you shall gain that power!



I only have 204 powers so there are only 21 slots available so sign up fast!

Lift a X-wing fighter out of a swamp? :p
 
Cryokinesis.


Well, at least your drinks would be cold and you'd never have to pay for A/C again.

You'd just have to make sure you don't accidentally freeze something off.

I'd have to see the list first before picking a gumball. The last thing I want is the power to crap cheese or something.
 
My superpower would be to make all people happy.
If everyone were happy, there wouldn't be any wars or crime, no bullying or quarreling. And that'd make me happy.
LOL my supervice is propably a good dose of egoism :D

The highest power probability is Flight. There are no cheese powers on the list. There is a crapping money power.

There are 189 powers left and no one got flight yet which has 18 votes

Lift a X-wing fighter out of a swamp? :p
Indeed, except Luke, for a while anyway, never seemed to grasp the whole concept around lifting the X-Wing with his mind while no longer worrying about the mass of the object.
 
Because X-Wings are so tough to move.

Teleportation- ability to beam anywhere. One minute, I'm here here the hills west of Boston. The next, I'm ordering lunch in a Turkish village.
But does that include the ability to teleport unnoticed? Because then we're getting into telepathy. And what if you teleport into where someone's standing, ripping them, and maybe you, apart? Can you "see" where you're about to appear? Because that's an additional extra-sensory power, also.
 
I would be a shapeshifter. Though honestly, I wouldn't be super extreme with it. I'd use to make myself look more buff and occasionally grow my hair out. :p
 
The ability to fly would be cool.
Except that, by itself with no other powers, it would probably get you shot dead by Bubba out hunting in the corn field you're flying over, or by civil air defense, or....

I think teleportation is a better option - even if it probably isn't quite as much fun to actually do, if used properly it would allow you to survive to have the fun that can be had at the places you'd teleport to.
The ability to send myself one message/thought at the end of each week back in time to the start of said week. That way, I could save friends and loved ones from accidents, foil terror plots via anonymous tips, and win a huge-ass lottery, so I could go to film school and have other adventures without worrying about being a financial basket case the rest of my life.
This should be the plot of an hour-long weekly TV dramedy.
Stupid trekkie forgot or perhaps did not know ( :lol: ) that latinum is worthless in our era.
How do you know? We don't really know what properties latinum might have that would make it incredibly valuable (and as rare as Kilana2 chooses to keep it ;) ). About the only thing we really know is that it is a liquid at room temperature, so if she's pulling it out from people's ears, it is either pouring (ick) or it is pressed in gold - which would be valuable regardless of the latinum.

On the other hand, this all sounds like a setup for someone to kidnap Kilana2 and force her to produce gold and latinum. Not a power I would want unless I was very careful to keep where the stuff was coming from a secret. ;)
I already have a superpower: I can put bricks to sleep, via hypnosis.
I already have touch telekinesis. : picks up a brick, moves it around in the air all spooky-like : :D
What if he wanted a Direct Current? :p
Given their performance lately, it would probably be better not go to that, to leave it a Marvel to behold. ;)
 
That's a tough one. It comes down to either the ability to fly (unadied, just taking off like Superman) or invisibility.


I'd have to go with flying, but I have to be able to control the speeds. It's no good if I get up there and can only go five miles an hour.

I pick it for multiple reasons:

Saving money on gas (if it's not raining, too hot, or too cold).

Exercise. I'll assume you burn calories.

The ability to not be pinned down. Good for avoiding unwanted confrontations. Yeah, good luck getting my money, thugbag.

Helping others. Rescuing cats from trees, people in flooded areas, people up in buildings on fire, etc.

Complete and total avoidance of the TSA. Fuck the lot of you.

And an alternative source of income. Who wouldnm't pay the only man in the world with the ability to fly, to take you up?
 
I wonder if, even on a clear day, you could spot a commercial airplane in time to dodge it. A 747 flying cross-country regularly hits, what, 600mph? You'd have to keep your head on a swivel for sure...
