discussion You wake up tomorrow with a superpower

[elfieeven]

What I can't understand about Western culture (or rather, popular culture) is the overpopulation of superhumans endowed with superpowers. Since my teenage years, when I had the misfortune to watch Superman. This “masterpiece” caused me nothing but laughter. Yes, there were a couple of stylish productions on Batman - with Nickleson and other good actors, but the feeling of watching some kind of traveling circus, never left. About 10 years ago I put a strict taboo on this topic - there is nothing to waste precious minutes of life on different nonsense, and my romance with superhumans from (movie)comics was safely ended. But I sincerely can't understand how mature adults can discuss it?

Yet.. you found the time to write all that out?

Reset the last 30 minutes of time.

 

[azbest2k]

easy - mind control

Time Manipulation. And if I don't like it, I can just go back in time and choose another one.

 

[Bangcoaches]

Invisibility. It would be so fun to go to certain places without getting caught hehehe.

 

[dweeb213]

i was thinking of invisibility, but imma go with time stop instead. i think i would have alot more thing to do with it than invisibility

Something I think about every once in a while. You wake up in the morning with a superpower (just the one, no Supermans powerset cheating nonsense)
Everything else about your life and the world is the same.
Whats your super power, how does it change your life and do you let people know about it or do you hide it to avoid becoming a guinea pig or designated
public enemy No. 1

Personally I'd go with telekinesis and never tell anyone. I'd have some extremely lucky roulette streaks in vegas and never get stuck behind someone
who is camping in the overtaking lane ever again.

Is it a superpower to have a body that always returns to your ideal form? Maybe shapeshifting.... Removing health problems and the need to shower or get haircuts and etc because you can change your body. Maybe even remove the need for sleep because you can change your brain. You can look like what any sexual partner wants. Save a lot of time and money and worry. Make easy money modeling or streaming and no one recognizes you IRL. Be any kind of athlete you want. Ideal IRL power. I wouldn't let anyone know unless I trusted them with my life, and then I would still lie about things like needing x hours per week to go in a vat to restore my powers or something, so that if they were tortured they would have wrong information.

If that is too overpowered then probably telekinesis because that would also mean no showers, easy moving things, seeming better at activities, etc. I wouldn't tell anyone at all.

invisibility of course

Hard to look past time manipulation as the GOAT ability

 

[kama77]

I'd like to travel back in time to relive moments in my life and making different choices. (Have sex with those girls I didn't realize wanted to, for instance.)
BUT... be able to return to current real life without having changed timeline. So basically live previous moments in life a perfect simulation with no repercussions.

I have actually thought about this a lot. I would want the power to manipulate how a person sees reality. Not ACTUALLY manipulate reality because that would be OP. But to change what a person is seeing. Like if they had a machine gun I could make them think they were holding a snake. Or if they were trying to catch someone I could make them think they were suddenly enveloped in a dense fog. Etc

I would love the power of mind control you could get so much out of it

 

[wintercoat]

I'm gonna echo the time manipulation love. It's either that or invisibility. Just being able to have some form of anonymity in real life to be able to go about my business, whatever that business may be, without anyone knowing would be so freeing and open up so many opportunities

 

[indipiccalilli]

I've always wanted to fly, but I guess if I can't be invincible then I'd probably die on my first time out with my new powers.

I like the Telekinesis one - a bit safer

If you had telekinesis, could you not just pick yourself up? Then you can fly too?

 

[MasterShifufff]

Would love to be able to teleport

 

[zakarmmusa832]

I'd love the power to insta-ban people who create topics we already have. That fucking search button in the top right corner is no decoration.

Imagine wasting your one superpower wish on being an internet janitor.

I wanna stop time.

Lol, that was my sixth answer for otherwise identical topics in less then a week ^^
Instead of a single power, i'd prefer to turn into a succubus...surviving by only eating pussys, gaining power(s) through orgasms and making every single girl i want horny enough to drag me to the next bed would suit me much better then anything else
...and it would be nice to manipulate peoples sexuality, every guy in sight turning gay would reduce my workload immensely and turning all the girls into lesbians would improve my hunting grounds as well...

 

[Deleted member 123057]

i would want a power that wasn't obvious enough to get me hunted by the government like super luck or something

 

[IFF01]

Toss up between Mind control and Invisibility

There was a book I read years ago called The Legend of Nightfall. The MC could minipulate his density to make himself light as a feather or an immovable force. I always thought it would be funny for a thin guy to dominate dudes twice his size in the sport/activity of their choice.
