Misusing Super Powers

[NeedAUserName]

I was thinking, if I had a super power, that I could be selfish with, and only use it for fun what would it be? I settled on either being The Juggernaut, because playing rugby with that would just be so fun. Or Be Colossus, because who doesn't want metal skin really.

So what would you choose? And try and not say something like "Superman, so I could be super". Try and be original, and remember, you can only use your power for fun, and it can't seriously affect anyone.

Is it cheating to say that I want the super power to give myself any super power I want?

 

[NeedAUserName]

No, but I wouldn't recommend it... or we will be coming for you.

A Wolverine like ability to not die.

Invisibility, because of all the different kinds of things I could do with it. I could play practical jokes, sneak up on people, steal stuff (if I wanted to), eavesdrop on people's conversations when I want to, etc. Of course, there are some serious downsides to it such as times when you actually want to be seen (i.e. anywhere near a road), I'd have to not use it for my own safety.

the power to make people cry by being good at arguments
so i could belittle the morons who shout at you on xbox live


(i didnt know how to thrase it properlly i felt compelled to say be more witty)

Telekinesis. And you can't tell me what to do with my telekinesis, because I'm telekinetic.

 

[cainx10a]

Wolverine's mojo. Damn, he always get the bad guy, and the chick too.

 

[EllsinoreOutlaw]

I like to power like the guy off jumper. Be kinda nice to jump to place to place. lol

 

[WilliamWhite1]

I would love to have Spiderman's webbing.
It'd just be hilarious to trip people with the stuff, startle the crud out of random individuals, and climb buildings with ease.

Give me Power Ranger abilities. Awesome jumping, kung-fu super powers, great close combat weapons, laser blasters, bullet proof armour and best of all...

Giant robots so I could travel long distances and not need a license to drive it, but also destroy anything in my path for the fun of it.

That is what I always did as a kid when my friends and I played Superheroes....they didn't like me.

But really, how can you ask me to pick just one? What do you mean everyone else is? Fiiiiine.

The safe bet is Telekinesis (I know someone already said it but hear me out). Telekinesis would afford me all the powers I want. I could create a sheild to keep away from harm, focus it into a wave or ball of psychic energy, I could lift anything with my mind, and even use it to become invisible.

A cop out? Maybe, but I'm ok with it.

 

[Aschenkatza]

Lol, if I had super-powers I'd totally miss-use them!
Like if I could fly [and had super-strength] I'd charge people to use me to get places. No More Traffic!! Get rich fast!!

Ah Telekinesis... that would be awesome.

But... what of the powers from DBZ? What is that? Ki? Chi? Whatever it is, it'd be very destructive and fun.

 

[Ace of Hearts]

Telekinesis, no question. Because, when you really think about it, that unlocks tons of amazing skills. Need to go somewhere? Pick yourself up and fly! Bullet flying at you? Catch it and turn it around! Feeling like you want to be a badass? Rip out large chunks of the ground and have them float around you untill you toss them at someone! Something heavy flying at you? Even if you can't lift it, you'll probably make it light enough to take a hit or just kick it right back! The swiss army knife of super powers.

There are SO many ways to misuse superpowers:

Flash, it would increase my drum skillz.

 

[cthulhu257]

Some combination of teleplasty and psychometry. That is to say, be able to possess and control inanimate objects, as well as learn their history. All this in the body of a Stalker, and it'd be perfect.

I'm sorry to say but the power of persuasion. Making people do whatever you want, for good or selfish reasons, would get me ahead in life. What else is there to do with sure power but knock oneself up the totem pole? Those are the selfish reasons, true you'd need the moral vacuum of not caring if ones actions are good or evil.
