Sambalina Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 The ability to focus ALL my mental attention on one thing for an hour a day.Obviously, I'd have to make sure I was in a super safe/secure place first, but imagine what I could do! Solve problems, write papers, paint/create amazing art. It'd be awesome.Why only an hour?

leadchipmunk Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 definitely "shape shifting", with the actual talent being able to diminish/increase total mass completely. think animorphs (does anyone else remember animorphs?) without having to go stroke the animals first. that or yeh, the jumper ability. that's just so fucking cool! and for why super powers kinda suck: http://www.cracked.com/video_18289_the-best-super-power-is-not-what-you-think.htmlMy first thought was "I love the animorphs!" Then I caught myself, it is the animaniacs that I love.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 This was a question on the nerd fitness moderator application. We had to say what and why.Mine would be to be able to connect into computer networks and instantly absorb and analyze all the information. I got the idea from Lobot, Landu Calrissian's Cloud City cyborg buddy, but it is also sort of like Neo from the Matrix. You'd be able to solve all kinds of problems by making connections no one ever thought of. Are there more useful ones on an individual level? Sure. I think this one would probably help soceity out the most though.

KAllen Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Psyhionic ability to control water. Like Pyro from X-Men but w/ water. Think of the power, both fun and dangerous, that could be. You could shut off the hot water to a shower w/out flushing the toilet. Plus you could make the water in a person's body stop functions. Of course invisibilty would be cool...cheerleader shower rooms would be fair game!!!

gymell Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would like the ability to converse with animals. I mean, really know they are thinking and have them understand me. It would help me a lot with my pets and also with the wild animals that I spend a lot of time around - mostly raptors and other birds. Plus I just think it would be really interesting to understand their perspective of the world.What is this hawk thinking? "I'm hungry!" "I'd like to bite your face off!" "I hate that owl shirt!"

faerywethyr Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Intangibility also known as phasing. Love me some Kitty Pryde. Someone asked about luck powers in the X-Man there is Longshot or kind of like DominoMy hubby always thinks these are the MOST powerful abilities. My question is what if it only changes your own luck..... so like your supposed to get shot but instead your best friend standing next to you does?I also read a book called Ringworld with a secret breeding program to make an incredibly lucky person but her luck tended to have detrimental consequences to those around her and honestly she did not seem all that lucky to me. In the end I believe her luck was taking a "larger picture" view of her well being. So the real question is what happens when your "luck" super power apparently becomes sentient?

You could shut off the hot water to a shower w/out flushing the toilet. Plus you could make the water in a person's body stop functions.With water control, you could technically control fire. You could put water under so much pressure that it heats up past the combustion points of hydrogen and oxygen, but remaining under pressure it stays a liquid. Once you release the pressure, it would instantly separate into hydrogen and oxygen and combust. You could turn almost anything into a bomb.

Rorschach Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I used to always say flight or super speed, which I guess I would pick still, if not for me wanting the ability to control people's emotions.

Fearkiller Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Super SavageryWhat's that?1) Time manipulation: I could take like 20000000000 years from a rock (like it never needs it back) and use it to become all of the things I ever wanted. Of course Slow-mo, having as much time as you want to think up an answer in a conversation, time travel, nigh-unkillable (only sniper from behind or similar instantly lethal what you don't see).Time travel would be a literal reset life-button!And Time Paradoxes would be really scary, or just pure awesome, can't decide.Time Paradox= If I go back and kill my grandfather, how could I have started the journey?UNIVERSE: BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! Hahaha!2) Never immortality! To see all your friends die one by one... And life is precious because it ends someday. And then when it would not...Well, unlimited life as a concept is intriquing...And what if you get a permanent and painful injury for the next 100000000000 years!Immortality with the option of being mortal when I become sick of it.Oh, there's already a solution! Beautiful!3) Maybe Unlimited amount of fairy magic (as in Artemis Fowl) Included eg. Auto-healing, mesmer (powerful hypnosis), shielding (invisible to naked eye by making your heart beat so fast you vibrate faster than the eye can follow you)...If no bunches are allowed, just one, I would pick Time Manipulation.PS. I hope I wasn't a party-pooper? EDIT: Meant I brought up many negative side effects which may down someinitially cool stuff...
