If you could be a superhero.

[The_Killing_Name]

I would have two powers. One, to bypass all rules, including the ones on this thread. And, two, omnipotence ^_^

 

[Darknys]

Precog would be the way i would go, being able to see everything before it happens and see all possible outcomes, pretty much covers all bases. Add alot of hard work to maintain the endurance and strength needed to combat the situations that you see.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Telekinesis. Not only can you kick the crap out of other supers without lifting a finger, you can do so very many other fun things with it. Including flying.

Best power ever. If when 2012 comes and everyone ends up getting superpowers, I'm praying to get telekinesis.

 

[CakeDragon]

Meat vision-
With one look lasers shoot out my eyes and turn an object to meat.

I don't know how I could solve crime, but heck, I'd love to turn random things into bacon.

 

[zauxz]

I think bulseye had the most awesome powers ever.

 

[twistedidiot241]

If I could be a Superhero,
I would be Awesome Man.
I'd fly around the world fighting crime
According to my Awesome Plan.
And if I saw criminals trying to lie
Hurting other people and making them cry
I'd haul them off to jail in my Awesome Van.
Because I would be Awesome Man.

 

[TheLivingDaylights]

Power that Nicholas Cage had in "Next". 2-minute clairvoyance = awesome on every level.

If I wanted to ba a pro basketball player, I could make buzzer-beater style cross-court 3-pointers every time.

I could be a crack shot sniper at a mile away with nothing but a handgun.

Ultimate ninja on people's funny forum posts. Nobody would ever tell a good joke other than me.

Would never have any pent-up rage. If I were mad, I could break everything around me in clairvoyance until I feel better.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I would have the power to excrete diamonds =P

MONEY! =)

 

[RichardEdwards]

Although its probably been said, I'd go for the ability to control time every time.

Fast forward, Rewind, Pause. Things like that. This would include the ability to control specific pockets of time, or people's perception of time.

 

[Sethzard]

I would be Awesomeman, I'd fly around the world fighting crime, according to my awesome plan.

I'd be immigration dude. I'd send all the foreigners back to their homes, for eating up all of our food. XD

I would be Drug free boy telling the world of the evils of drugs and all of the lives they destroy

 

[JoshasorousRex]

I'd be MultiMan. I'd be able to create blank slates, kinda like those manakins, and mold them to any shape humanly possible (face, muscle mass blah blah blah). I would also be able to take any experience they gain i.e learning guitar, other languages, not having to go to school to learn stuff and getting into shape. They would work out I would get stronger. What I'm wearing or have on me is what they will be wearing like t-shirt and jeans.

I would have them get jobs to fund my crime fighting (or otherwise). With a huge workforce I would be able to get things like pepper spray, kevlar ect. I would also get tons of stuff for myself as well. A lot of them would be roaming the streets looking for criminal activities and I would try to get one of those police radios. As well my guys would go to the police station to look at wanted posters.

As for not getting captured I would mold all their faces differently and even if I did get captured I would spam so many guys they would get overwhelmed by my Multi-Men.

The only problems I could see is controlling them all with my mind. This means they are all loyal to what I say but how am I to control them while asleep... And while sleeping I get a nightmare and my Multi-Men kill people, or even me.

 

[Nova Tendril]

I would be Search Bar man. I would move throughout the internet and yell at people who neglect the search function. I would destroy repeat offenders by cutting into their skin with razor sharp punctuation.

 

[Hangman's Prize]

I'd be a Pre-Cog, something like Paul Atreides in Dune. I'd see most if not all possible futures and realities, without my mind blowing up or melting, and know which to take and when. No lines of best fit with I'm a Pre-Cog. If you could see crimes before they're actually commited you can get there before it starts. From there on in it's you knowing exactly whats gonna happen next and how to advert it or what paths to follow. Plus with good connections, like in the police force or paramedics, you'd have better access to intel that could help you.
Would I need an outfit? Maybe something simple like the shirt Multiple-Man has from the X-Factor, something with my symbol on it. I'd strick out from the sidelines, not the shadows, and manipulate situations so they come out with a favourable end result.

If I couldn't be a Pre-Cog... I'd be the guy from Scanners who can make peoples heads explode or Rollo from Code Geass 2 and make people perceive time standing still for short burst while it's not, enabling me to do just about whatever I wanted.

 

[Mr. Purple]

i would be a shape shifter. I think I would call myself unstable-man or sumthing. :/
Oh and I wouldnt fight crime. I'd ignore it.
I would shape shift myself into a pterodactyl and fly me and my girlfriend to Australia.

 

[traceur_]

I would be the HIGH FIVER. I'd go around giving people high fives and making them have an awesome day

haha that sounds awesome and I'd give free hugs too

 

[asinann]

Control of gravity. I would be able to make the criminals weigh too much to run away or just crush them.

 

[traceur_]

I wouldn't mind the powers... But actually bothering enough to be a super hero? Why... Waste of time and not enough revenue -_-

If mind control is out of the question (Oh all the villainous, heroic and just plain neutral things that could be made possible with it...), there is always invisiblity. But again, full invisibility makes no sense - since if your whole body is completely invisible, so are your eyes which detect light in the first place... and if it just goes right through, you're effectively blind. And invisible. But being blind really makes the whole invisibility aspect not fun. And if you could make your eyes not turn invisible, someone would notice flying eyeballs.

Same with flight, really. High speed flight = really cold and easy to hit stuff. No thanks.

I guess Telekinesis would be a good choice. You could provide protection to yourself by stopping the bullets (or, alternatively, if they are too fast, holding up thick sheets of kelvar or whatever bullet-unbreakable metal/substance all around yourself with your mind. )

And you would be able to control any object, at least in your eyesight or in some limited range. Even if the size of the object is limited to something small and rather light, it would still be useful since you could just easily disarm people instantly or jam the weapons somehow. And if there is less of a limit on how much weight can you move, telepathically, then you can also fly on top of a freaking armchair at high speeds with the POWER OF YOUR MIND ALONE!

But then again, it'd better to be a villain then a hero. Better work ethic and higher income, overall.

Oh, and P.S.

IF A 200 LBS MAN SHAPESHIFTS INTO A I DUNNO, 20 LBS SQUIRREL, WHERE DOES THE OTHER 180 LBS OF ORGANS, BONES AND MEAT GO!?!?!?

the extra mass waits patiently in valhalla until it is needed, as for revenue, no one said you couldn't dabble in evil
