That doesn't need super power. Only questionable hygiene.

For me, Telekinesis:
-Force push
-Force pull
-Flight
-Manipulation of mechanical objects with my mind

The ability to destroy "If" threads with my thoughts.

(Yes I understand the irony, thank you.)
I like that idea, or even destroy threads that have been done a fuck load of times even.
The power to detroy Deja nazi's, you know how fun that would be?


All jokes aside, pyrokinesis would be amusing provided I could burn myself. I would probably honestly go for telekinesis though, moving objects with my mind. It would be amusing to say the least.

I can't imagine the number of people who love nothing more than to tie you to a chair with your feet in a bucket of water giving you a haircut every now and again.

I would like to create physical object "X" in front of me at any given time. :)
shallow and materialistic maybe, But it would be fun.

Immortality. It'd probably fuck me up mentally over time, but the look on peoples' faces as I take a clip of ammo and continue to walk towards them with an insane grin on my face would be worth it.
That and I'm lazy. all that extra time strikes me as necessary to get anything done.

I'd be like Peter Petrelli from Heroes. I'd steal everyone else's powers.

Failing that, telekinesis. The one power I want above all others, 'cause it's awesome and allows me to fly.

The problem with Immortality is that you may be around forever while the Earth may not be. At some point is could be destroyed and you would be left floating in endless darkness until you were pulled into some known planets orbit. With my luck, it would be some desolate moon or something.

I'll take the ability to manipulate liquid. And once I have this ability, I trust everyone would like to give me a tenner?

Manipulating one thing is all well and good, but telekinesis gives you the ability to manipulate all things. Why cause a global flood, when you can make the continents fly into space and rearrange themselves into the words FUCK YOU, GOD? (On a massive scale, of course, that is. At least on a smaller scale I can make your large intestine choke your brain as though you were Grunthos the Flatulent.)

Take your pick...
Reality warping!!

I could make all your heads turn into squids.
How do you know we aren't already all squids? That could be our superpowers...
You mean... your superpower is being a creature made in 90% of water, floating on more water, eating, stinging other things and mating for few months?
Not really, if you notice my first post on this thread was to absorb other people's abilities (like Rogue, Sylar or Peter Petrelli). Therefore, that would be somebody else's power that I would then take...

That said, you surely realise that as this thread grows, I will increase in power exponentially (I'm sure the Maths geeks will realise the horror of that rate of increase...).

Time control. This applies to aging as well. And also, anyone I happen to be in direct physical contact with is also affected by my powers. In addition, I'd also be able to affect the person I'm in physical contact with while not affecting myself.

So I'd have the power to move time (in general, but also being able to move it for everyone except me and the people I'm in contact with) forward, backward and pause; I could stop, speed up, or reverse my aging (giving myself longer, shorter, or unlimited life); and I could stop, speed up or reverse other people's aging so long as I am in direct contact with them (then I could keep my girl young forever, and I could tackle people I dont like and cause them to become so old they turn to dust).

Plus, I could leave my enemies frozen in time forever. Or pause time for everyone but myself occasionally to mess with people's heads.
Oh yeah. Mischief aside, I'd probably spend my life by pausing time and defusing suicide bombers before they explode or going back and preventing 9/11. I could make it so that WWII never happened.

And actually it occurred to me that if I stop my own aging, I cannot get closer to death. So if I got shot while my aging was paused I couldnt die because to die would be to reach the end of my life. If I pause my aging at a point before death, there is no possible way I could die because I haven't gotten any closer to the end of my life. So I could not die. On the other hand, this situation could instead just cause a paradox that destroys the universe. I'll try to refrain from using that power...
You do realise that you can't alter the past or create paradoxes at all, simply because the universe is self correcting? According to the latest research, by altering time it will always revert back to what it would have been anyway. Here in the present, we can alter what will happen in the future, but if we alter it further through the medium of time travel (or a similar method), then the universe will self correect and any changes simply won't happen.

P.S. Sorry for the double post...

To all those who say immortality:
See: The Nameless One.
And the inability to feel pain is actually a disorder; it's not as cool as one might think. Without pain, we have no way of telling how much pressure we exert when we move.

All that said, I'd like to be a Waterbender or a Mage or Garou a la oWoD. Those would be my choices.

That is only true, if the vary process of time travel doesn't create a tangent timeline, (or escentially a new universe) where the said changes 'could' happen.
To put it in the way steven hawking said that black holes are able to have any and all information in it, never escape, is that in another universe, that black hole doesn't exist, thusly so in 'that' universe the information isn't lost, basically balancing out the equation...
(of course, there are so many theories about black holes, one being that black holes will escentially die slowly spitting out the matter in them (which would technically make them the mystical white hole....)

The problem is, there are so many different branches of Mathematics and Physics, and they all depend on each other and yet different theories seem to cancel each other out. We can't actually prove them all, so who knows if the time travel theory or the black hole/white hole theories are correct? There's currently no way to prove them, so we are forced to rely on speculation. Eventually we will hopefully know for sure, but until then all we have to go on are theories and evidence that is generally far from perfect, whether due to the environment that data was collected from or due to human error...
