discussion You wake up tomorrow with a superpower

[Lliiam]

The power to control probability, you can essentially do what ever you want.

I'm not sure being a mod is technically classed as a superpower

But there are mods out there who think that way.


On-Topic:
Don't forget, if you get some superpower, someone else might have gotten some too.
So you neither are alone with it nor you can do as you want, because you will only cause attention from them, who might have even more powerful or evil powers.

Telekinesis.

I want to snap a finger and kill all mosquitoes and flies in a 1km radius

I can feel you! I think there is no single day in summer without a mosquito bite!!

Become the king of the world

 

[Degen Man]

I'd pick time stopping.

Total mind control is the best, and I have said it many times, but besides that… Maybe the power to be completely forgotten, but only when I will it, the power to be undetectable.

I could walk anywhere, take anything, do anything with no repercussions. Of course it is mainly good if I can do it even while those people are looking at me, and also it has to work through cameras and sound recordings. I would have to be unrecognizable by AI too (All of this only when I will it, otherwise it would be sort of a curse too).

How it would change my life? Well I could live anywhere, do anything, take anything. I could be nefarious with it, or I could just live my life. All of this could also be achieved with mind control, but this is a pretty good variant with different applications.

universal translator.
as in being able to speak/read/write every language fluently

Well this is the fourth thread about this topic now.

Since I wont be an ass this time, lets just say telepathy.

Controlling peoples minds and reading their thoughts would get you far in life.

There are a lot of people in many places. I would advise to include the prevision to only read the thoughts of someone you choose at the current moment. Otherwise... wow, that's hell on Earth--everyone screaming all of their darkest thoughts all at once, forever.

To have the capacity to create safe points in my current time line and go back to them as in a video game. That will a safe variation of eternal young + premonition XD So in that way is possible to life as many lives as one want and be able to change the future.

This is interesting. Peter Hamilton's "water walker" in the second Commonwealth series had something like this, but every time the character used it, a void at the center of the galaxy would swallow more of the radius around it. Consequences....

For me........ I'm going to say "safe teleportation." That is, if someplace I wanted to teleport to would kill me, it wouldn't go: teleporting into solid matter or an unbreathable atmosphere, for instance.

Clairvoyance, I can soon know everyone dirty little secrets.

 

[Arachel]

Immortality. Too much shits to do, can't die before.

Technically Immortal means you don't die from natural causes like aging or disease, but a truck to the face would still do the trick.

 

[azathoth]

Good Fortune/Incredible luck.

 

[korochan48]

Mystique shapeshift ability

 

[Ribaso]

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.

The anime Re:Zero is something like that, but less powerful. Each time the MC dies, he goes back to a safe point back in his recent past, but he can't change/choose the safe point. The safe point changes alone as he surpasses the critical point. In Summertime Render the MC jumps back in the recent past but each time the distance from the capacity to rollback gets shorter and shorter.

shapeshifting seems like it would be a lot of fun. The first thing I would change into is a horse.

Now imagine you have an amazing life and accidentally reverse to a checkpoint from many years ago because you were happy enough to state and why the heck do I need them.

 

[chummyduchess]

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

 

[dereguedeixe]

Going invisible, stopping time or going to the past/future.

Its not for what you are thinking, i could just do whatever i want or get the stuff i need without any problems

 

[ccxvidonaferens]

I would probably have to go with 'Spankman'
