discussion You wake up tomorrow with a superpower

[Karamchad]

any time control shit
win the lottery
that is enough for me

 

[deffel]

I'd pick time stopping.

Uhhhhh not to be a party pooper, but if you actually stopped time except for yourself you would be disappointed and very dead

I would like me some mind control - that would be useful in all aspects of life

Invisibility

 

[Arachel]

Invisibility or teleportation, both for the same reason...Unrestricted motion. Or
Time-travel/ becoming timeless, for nothing but to actually fix my life from its basis and up.

If you were invisible you'd be blind realistically speaking as the human eyes need to refract light to be able to see and if you were invisible you wouldn't be able to do that.

Time-travel doesn't really work at the best of times you'd create a loop where if you "fix" something in the past you eliminate the need to go back to the past to fix it in the first place so you don't and then it happens so you do and it just repeats ad infinitum.

flying is up there, but as someone mentioned i would probably head straight into a mountain 4 minutes into the first try

Oxygen is a problem that is never addressed with flying. The higher up you go the less oxygen you have, the faster you go that also creates an issues with being able to breathe. Then you have the temperature issue, you could very well freeze to death flying too high or too fast.

I wake up tomorrow with a superpower? What's the Illuminati? Before any one accuses me of spam or some shit what you believe is on you, but I am also actually meaning that as in it would become past tense. What is would become what was. Also it could be anything, literally anything. It wouldn't matter if it was anything from acid piss to the Family Guy Meg shit of growing your finger nails.

 

[danzerino]

Invisibility would be my choice. Just sit and really think about how much you could do. The choice would be Good or Bad or Both.

 

[lewdlove]

I would like to be Gladstone Gander,lucky SOB and no worries win lottery and everything all the time.

 

[c0rkscr3w]

make people speak truthfully at all times.

 

[LordMu]

Power to change common sense, everything i do will be seen as common sense.

Within the visible spectrum, you're correct...But also

Spoiler

Yes, this indicates that there is a statement I omitted for you to figure out on your own

that's not the only mean of invisibility, theoretically a supradimensional structure can in fact transcend through our 3-dimenstional plane without ever being detected because its trajectory is outside our physical limits, but I'll give you that this way there is also a sense of invincibility that comes with it, or what can be called paranormal.

Time-travel doesn't really work at the best of times you'd create a loop where if you "fix" something in the past you eliminate the need to go back to the past to fix it in the first place so you don't and then it happens so you do and it just repeats ad infinitum.

The loop doesn't matter because you'll already be on a different timeline, also don't forget that on a quantum level "time" is an illusion with the veil between history-now-future being very blurred.
Also, the topic was about superpowers, so being realistic shouldn't even matter.

 

[Mythic Incubus]

The ability to live life like an RPG. Skills, stats, relationship, quests. Just a better way to live.

If you want to deny physics and assume that you don't need to see, there's also an issue with body heat, if you still exist you still give off heat and would show up on thermal images and people can detect variations in changes of surrounding temperatures as a sort of 6th sense that even if you're unaware consciously of it you can detect it. It's why you get that feeling that somebody is watching you when somebody is watching you.

A different timeline assumes multiverse theory where you're not actually "time traveling", but rather shifting to a different dimension where outcomes are minutely different and wouldn't change the course of the original time line so it wouldn't be "time travel".

The issues with chosen super powers is as much a valid discussion as simply throwing out what you want.

make people speak truthfully at all times.

Even if you could force people to speak truthfully, they could simply refuse to answer you or side step the question. "Where were you last night?" "None of your business that's where." answers the question, but not exactly a location either now is it?

Very autistic take (Yes, it's autistic to not be able to read between the lines)

 

[Clint Bobski]

Time Travel within the timeline is really good. The person who said that had one of the functionally best ideas. A Silver Age Green Lantern's powers would also do, because there was a lot of power mimicry stunts one could do, including mimicing the Atom's shrinking.
DC speed force would be fine, as you get super speed, super reflexes, fricitionless aura, vibrating through solid objects, time-travel, and super-speed thinking.
Although Telekinesis with enough practice/creativity gives you an insane amount of power stunts. Flight, simulated super-strength, forcefield/levels of invunerability by making force shields via TK, to name a few.

Very narcissistic take (Yes, it's narcissistic to think that on a message board you have absolute authority to determine what people care to post). I'm allowed to post issues with superpowers in the real world if I please unless somebody with actual authority says it's against the rules which you don't have need I remind you. It's covered by the given topic as it still discusses the superpower itself. As for "not being able to read between the lines" I chose to ignore your attempts to divert it and say I'm not allowed to poke holes in the superpowers because I don't care what you feel is the "spirit" of the thread. Basically I counter your claim of my being autistic with your clear delusions of adequacy.

Teleportation will be enough for me.

Shush please, the topic is about superpowers and you're here talking about laws of classical physics, you're doing nothing but embarrassing yourself.

 

[rednewtapple]

Easy: I can make any woman I want super horny for me. lol

 

[chazam]

The power to open portals as I want, I would love to just open a portal here and then another on the beach. But at the same time, I would love to be able to control them even more and make them dynamic, such as placing a portal in something that I can move and another in my girlfriend's panties... you know what follows.

 

[Annonx]

Mind Reading. I think it's the best way to manipulate people and get what you want.
