Spiral Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 What would your ONE super power be and why? Mine would be Telekinesis with Fine Manipulation and affects porous. I sure would get a lot of stuff done, but I guess I will have to make do with my remotes for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stompwaterjack Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power I would like Flight so I can be above the world and look done upon it like and angel sent from Heaven.

TheRavenIs Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power I would want total and complete Life Support. Yes it means living forever and wacthing all those that I know and love die, but to see what the future would be would worth the loss.

wagnern Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Ok, if you can be twinkie it is simple SUPER BRAINS!! I want to fly. Ok, invent personal jetpack I want to be strong. Ok, invent practical powerd skeletion I want to . . . . But if the whole 'wishing for wishes' of super intelect is outlawed, I guess that Flight would be the most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power I would like to be able to speak and read any language (I guess practically that means all of them). I'd really love to be able to communicate with anyone I meet. Flight would be a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power First instinct is flight or teleportation. True freedom of movement has great appeal to me. I would be happy just buying off some of these damn disads, really. Are Wealth or Luck allowed...?

Naked Advantage: Variable Advantage (+1/2) O end, Increased range, explosions, +2 levels of ammo clips, double knockback, so many great things.... <>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinanju Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Mine would be Cumulative Transfrom (Any target into anything).

Publius Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Shape shift (all senses, 0 END persistant or inherent) It would help so much in... Getting money: "Are you sure you would you like us to give that to you that in cash Mr. Gates?" Getting chicks: "Wow, you're like my favorite (film/rock/porn) star, of course I'll <1.2 Meg deleted for sake of decency> for you." Getting thin: "You look taller..." Longevity would be really nice (and runner up for second power) but it doesn't help my cash outlay, my looks or my weight directly. Mind Control would accomplish everything but the last but its just kind of... mean. Flight wouldn't get me any of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Wow... Ideas that come to mind are: a Variable Advantage Teleporation (Safe Teleport would almost be a default) Transform anything to Anything... I can create diamonds from coal, help a friend lose weight, and so on. if I get jumped by a would be mugger... I guess some new statues will be collecting pigeon droppings. Last on the list?

fwcain Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power FLIGHT!!! No doubt about it, Flight's the power for me! To soar like an eagle (or like an angel, to borrow someone else's idea)! Get wherever I'm going faster and easier, because of NO MORE TRAFFIC JAMS!! Of course, I'll need to update my eyeglass prescription, and get goggles (two sets: one of them with darkened lenses, the goggle-equivalent of sunglasses). Hmmm.... How many Active Points are we allowed? Franklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveZilla Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Clairsentience with the ability to see/hear/etc. events anywhere, at any time in the past or present (regardless of illumination present). I'd use it to track down all missing persons, find wanted people and give anonymous tips on their whereabouts, and get the absolute truth as to what really happened at any point in history. I'd want it to be a targeting sense as well. That way, if I got a second power, I could use it to target things I was viewing in the present. A close third would be the ability to record on videotape/DVD/whatever what I was viewing/hearing/perceiving with the Clairsentience. And if I got that first power and it became known, my life would be over in less than a day. No large organization on Earth that keeps secrets, or is illegal, would want me around. But I'd still want that power regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenixcrest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Can it be a compound power, like Armor with PD and ED? If so, that's what I want. I don't care about immortality- I just want to be impossible to hurt, unless I want it to happen (i.e., I can turn it off briefly to get vaccinations and whatnot). Imagine how useful that would be- I'm a computer programmer, but in a pinch I could be the ultimate fire-rescue guy. They could send me into enemy territory to just confuse enemy gunmen with my unkillability. I could walk the streets of any major city at night without fear. I could go parachute-less skydiving. I'm not too interested in getting chlorine-bombed by some dictator, though, so I'd probably stick to the skydiving and part time fire-rescue. Of course, I wouldn't have any Knockback resistance- maybe it's best to avoid situations where I'd be hit by a bus, or shot with a missile. Also, no Life Support, by this thread's condition, so I hope nobody gets mad enough at me to use biological or chemical weapons on me, or hurl me into the freezing vacuum of space.

Lxndr Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power At first I thought about Mind Control.

Spectrum Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Gah! Everytime a question like this I feel like Brodie in Mallrats when he was asked that question "There's so many to choose from."

Amused Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power at first thought it was invisibilty (but I'm a teenage girl, that's expected ) but what I'd really want teleportation with no endurance (and the one that allows you to bring people along and teleport out of a moving car without going splat, I can't remember their names ) This is mostly because I'm lazying and don't like walking places.

However if it gets out that you are immortal it could get difficult with the authorities and other people. If you try to hide, in this day and age with documentation and the like you would have to illegally reinvent yourself. Then there is the whole humanity dieing from large space objects, the sun blowing up, or some universe destruction thing, leaving you utterly alone forever. Or somehow you get buried real deep and get stuck somewhere for a long time. At the very least being able to turn it off would be a must. Add teleportation and time travel to imortality would be sweet, when something really bad happens to you, you can get out of it. When humanity dies off, you can go back to the dawn of civ and give it another go. And considering the odds are you are bound to get into some sort of accident, I would love to get some rPD/rED and healing. I could live with that, no real need to have the ability to do things, just don't like the whole death thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Nytstar Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power First thing that came to mind was Duplication. That way I can go to work and get paid for doing twice as much as I normally do with a piece rate salary. Or rob a bank and have an airtight alibi. Others on my list include telekinesis with fine control, flight, regeneration, and mind control - only affects computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
