(I was a history major...time and space field trips anyone?)Man...remember that show? Remember when it didn't suck?I was going to say that! The first season of Heroes is epic. Second less so, third it goes downhill, then beyond that it's even further downhill (stopped watching halfway through fourth I think)Definitely time-space manipulation, which is what Hiro Nakamura can do. (Basically teleport, stop time, slow time, etc)Or, assuming other people have superpowers, Peter Petrelli's: super power mimicry! All in one, yay!Telekinesis sounds cool too. Wouldn't telekinesis technically allow for immortality, somehow? Like... controlling the movement of your DNA/telomeres?

Like... controlling the movement of your DNA/telomeres?i don't think that would work because it would but at a severally small scale that you couldn't see it with your eyes.mine would have to be teleportation (with my clothes, nightcrawler style). i'd love to never have to use a car again, and i could travel ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!

blindasutsutsu Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Time travel. I love the idea of making a mistake learning from said mistake then repeating what I had just done and trying something new. Also it would be easy to become successful monetarily, which isn't everything but of course is always nice. I mean it would be like having the sports almanac like Biff.

Artinum Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I was going to say that! The first season of Heroes is epic. Second less so, third it goes downhill, then beyond that it's even further downhill (stopped watching halfway through fourth I think)I gave up somewhere in the second series. It was slow, unfocused and surprisingly miserable. Hiro was the only one who actually worked as a character; everyone else seemed to hate their powers, while he was exploring them and developed a great deal over the series. The lack of humour was the main problem, as far as I can tell.I'm in favour of mental manipulation - being able to read and control the thoughts of other people. If you can do that, you don't need most other powers - you can make people think you already do. But failing that, I'd love to have Magneto's powers. He can even use them to fly!

Bekah Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 damn...just one? The ability to fly.

Fearkiller Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 You know the feeling that all the best ideas come always too late?Possibly a good superpower to have would be to get all the good ideas when they would've been needed?Immensely frustrating btw, because I would get the good idea for what to wish for a superpower after picking this?Also overlaps with time paradoxes.And this would also kinda erase itself, if it wasn't the best power to pick at the moment.

Tocho Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Another one!If everyone had superpowers, I'd say 'immunity' to superpowers would be quite a good one to have.

Fearkiller Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 For example in Rome as well in Creece they had specific gods for everything. Ares, god of war, Juppiter was the Big Boss and Minerva a goddess of wisdom and so on. Anyway, to be a god of something? I would pick a God of 'Cool' Virtually everything can be considered cool by someone -being an good parent, owning neat (and expensive) stuff, action heroes, looking good, plain nice personality and being excited about things... would I be forced to pick something and never change it or how the God of Superpowers (a big loophole right there, don't you think? Again all possible superpowers.) would make me do it? And would I have to answer prayers all the time or be forced to have followers?

Jakob Kopfeld Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Definately OmniPresence/Teleportation (like the guy in jumper)or Time Control. But so many people said that it's not even cool anymore.So I'm going with teleportation, because therese no risk of destroying the world by altering history. Also no weird paradoxes I need to wrap my head around. (sidenote: Grandfather-paradox easy solution: you kill him AFTER he fathers your father DUH!)
