IF you were a SUPERHERO

[Anonymous 14]

And you had the choice of THREE superpowers. What would they be?

You can choose THREE so choose wisely. Also you can add a couple more as special mentions.

Mine would be:

1. MIND CONTROL: The power to read and influence thoughts and action. 🙂
2. FLIGHT: Hell yeah..who wouldn’t? 😛
3. INVULNERABILITY: Don’t even get me started on this one. Suffice to say if don’t gots teh boob and teh vag you need this cuz the boobs and the vags can set mobs on you with one tiny flash. 🙁

As Special Mentions:

• HEALING: I would really love the power to heal and save lives. This one I would gladly trade for FLIGHT.
• SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH/SPEED: Comes in handy but slightly redundant when you have MIND CONTROL. Why do it yourself when you can get some dumb shmuck to do it for you.

What about you guys? Remember this is just for fun so don’t get too serious, seriously. 😉

Good topic

Regeneration – Always liked that about Wolverine, inbuilt immortality (am aware he CAN be killed ie. decapitation pre-adamantium)

Invisibility – I just like being left the f~~~ alone, my introversion was rated about 85-90% and I dont like people

Teleportation – Like Nightcrawler but ideally longer range

 

Dishonourable mention to Flight cause goddamn I hate heights, lol

I’d have one and only one thing. A highly advanced MIND.
Then, through my mind, I could easily have the following powers
– Telepathy (knowing other people’s thoughts, suggesting them actions i.e. mind slaves)
– Telekinesis (controlling things, corporeal as well as incorporeal with my mind)
– Teleportation (instantaneous transmission through time, space, or both)

These are only the tip of the iceberg ^
I’d be invincible.

Apparently, you seem to have already developed precognition because that’s what I was going to say.

Guess great minds think alike. A highly evolved mind renders each and every other power either auxiliary or useless.
For e.g. FLIGHT = We can fly too, just by using our telekinetic ability to fling our own body into the air.
INVULNERABILITY = There can be no such thing (not scientifically at least) but we’d still be invulnerable because a villain could kill our bodies, but because consciousness doesn’t die with the body, we’d just bend time to go back to our healthy bodies and prevent ourselves from being killed in the first place.
HEALING/REGENERATION = Due to a highly evolved mind, we control our involuntary processes too, which means we can heal ourselves quite quickly by proper bodily resource allocation.
SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH = Useless for us, because rather than lifting a ton with our arms, we’ll just life a 1000 ton train with our mind and bash the villain with it.
INVISIBILITY = Useless for us, because if we want to, we can make ourselves invisible to any amount of people by telepathy. It’s actually better than normal invisibility because we won’t be detected in heat scans or other such technology.

I always prefer the bad guys to the good guys so I’d use my powers to be a Super-Villain rather than a Super-Hero.

One guy that comes to mind is Cyborg Superman.

According to DC Wiki: “Cyborg Superman, also known as Hank Henshaw, is an evil supervillain who resembles a cybernetic version of Superman. He has all of Superman’s powers as well as the ability to control and manipulate all forms of machinery and technology”

As you can see he has many superpowers but the three I’d choose first would be:

1. Immortality

2. Superhuman Strength

3. Genius-Level Intellect

I am fully aware and acknowledge the fact that I’d basically be out to use my powers for me first and everyone else whenever.

[Darth SinParticipant 576]

If I was a superhero the superpowers that I would like to have are Time Manipulation, Mind Control and Matter Shifting.

If I could only have one superpower, it would be Time Manipulation.

If I could be any comic book hero, I would be Rip Hunter or Metron from DC Comics.

Tsk tsk..now I’m really disappointed in you guys. None of you even touched on the concept of superhuman speed!? Its really awesome I tell you!

Think of it in this way. A speed f~~~ sans all the female BS. Sounds brilliant right?

I mean you hook up with someone, decide to sleep or maybe a one nighter with someone you met at a party(fully consensual of course) and then you go fast and furious on her vag and leave the spot before she gets to exercise her special feminine crafts like guilt trip shaming tactics, conspiring for a pregnancy trap, “I love you and want to be with you forever” etc.

Somewhat like the sex in Rocknrolla 😉

Damn..this girl Thandie Newton looked really good in this movie..and that hair(style) damn!

[Darth SinParticipant 576]

Triklops :- With Time Manipulation I could slow down time to almost a standstill, f~~~ a bunch of bitches, be on my merry way and no one would be any the wiser. I could also go back in time and f~~~ bitches in the past and get away with it.

Superspeed is nice but the ability to manipulate time has got to be one of the strongest superpower.

[ElamshinParticipant 30]

Probably similar to Dr. Manhattan; the advantages that come with the intelligence and ability to fully control matter at subatomic level are too good to pass up.

[treelville..miamiParticipant 893]

Gotta have flight, ability to control and manipulate s~~~ without effort telekinesis and a combo between supermans, cyclops and Apocalypses heat vision.

That is only good in theory. Say you pause the time for everyone around you, it only means that time has stopped for the people around you but not you. It means you cells are decaying and you’re aging while everyone’s is in a kind of time capsule. Do it too often and you’ll start to look 80 in your 30s. However, pair it with immortality and you’ve got yourself some kickass power.

Really good stand alone power. Beats time manipulation. You’re experiencing time but because you’re so fast you can do things in minutes which will take ages for people to complete. Every minute is a lifetime. Your life will be very well lived. But I’d rather experience time in its own pace with my immortality. Also, don’t go running with your superspeed or you’ll notice that your whole body’s wreathed in fire. It’s the friction of your body rubbing against a whole bunch of air molecules.

A very fine choice indeed, but you still lack the power to control incorporeal forces like fire, water, and electricity. But then again, Dr Manhattan’s powers have no known limits, maybe you can in the future.

A very impractical choice. Your eyes are tricky little devils. Even when you think your gaze is rock-solid steady, it’s jumping around. Your eyes are constantly making tiny motions called microsaccades. These motions are completely involuntary, and can change your line of sight by up to a full degree. That may seem like an insignificant number, but it adds up over distance. So, if you wanna hit something far away, you’ll not only miss it, you’ll miss it by a mile. Don’t even get me started about the range. An off-the-shelf laser pointer has a range of around 2.2 miles, nothing compared to Superman’s vision. That means every time you fire your badass eye beams, your natural eye movements cause you to gouge 2-mile flaming swaths out of the landscape.

mine would be

Power of the spoken word- Be able to literally speak things into existence and cause things to happen whenever I will it to

Super intellect- have all wisdom

shape shifting- be able to take on any form

special mentions: be able to completely control any animal and get them to do my bidding so I could literally have my own beastly army assembled at any given time!

Hey, that’s cheating! You can’t make yourself God.

coolsideofthepillow wrote:

Do you mean intellect? or Do you mean all wisdom (Omniscience)? or both?

[coolsideofthepillowParticipant 190]

@lordvats Hey I can turn myself into God if I want no one made any rules!  lol and by all intellect with all wisdom its kind of the same thing because intellect= knowledge and wisdom= the ability to apply knowlegde.   So if you had all super intellect wisdom would definitely come with that, just wanted to throw it in to be more descriptive.

[Mango IngawayParticipant 2264]

I’d take:
-making things explode just by thinking
-mind reading
-teleportation

It is a common failing of childhood to think that if one makes a hero out of a demon the demon will be satisfied.

[Lord VatsParticipant 379]

@coolsideofthepillow
Then, you win. Everyone of our powers are useless against you. Say if we fight, then all you have to do is to say that I don’t have any  superpowers and I’m back to a normal human being. Of course, if I use stealth and carve out your tongue, then you have nothing!
Intellect and Wisdom are not the same thing. Let me explain it this way, I program one computer to solve tough mathematical problems and feed another with zetabyes of data. Former is intelligent, latter is wise.
Just because you can use your brain to solve problems doesn’t mean that you know everything there is to know about this universe. Conversely, if you know everything about this universe doesn’t mean that you’ll find creative solutions to challenging problems.
My question still stands, Omniscience or Hyperintellect?

Aha, nice to see a guy giving a thought before choosing powers. You’ll make a worthy opponent!

To the rest of gentlemen, I hope I did not sound condescending in my earlier posts demonstrating the uselessness of superpowers in the real world. All I wanted was to show how you can have any superpower, but still be slapped on the face with Newton’s dick. To quote myself: “I’d be unstoppable, if not for Physics and Law Enforcement”.

[coolsideofthepillowParticipant 190]

well I didnt mean to say they were the same thing but that with super intellect the two would go hand in hand. I think of it like this…intellect is like a guy that just graduated college to go into his field of whatever…he has all the knowledge he needs to go into his job, but when he gets there the older guy thats been working there for 20 years already has put that same knowledge into practice for years so he has wisdom to actually use his intellect properly and get things accomplished. The new guy has all the knowledge without the wisdom to properly apply it…..BUT if you had SUPER intellect I would think wisdom would kind of come with the package since you could bypass years of gained experience with the unlimited processing power of your mind. Think of it like the guy that took the brain pill in that movie limitless.

[Zuberi TauParticipant 10606]

I’d rather be an anti hero.

Super strength, Invulnerability, Super speed, Genius level intellect and reality warping capabilities.
