I'd have to go with taste. Having any other ability would only really help me in combat, so I'd go for taste.
By the way, how do you start threads? I've just recently started using my profile, and I thought it'd be fun.

Touch, cause the sex would be awesome. Cannot believe the number of people who voted sight. World is kinda ugly in high definition.

Probably equilibrium. Means I could pull off all sorts of crazy stuff while still keeping my balance. Also I wonder how a super-sensitised proprioception would work?

Because there's actually more than five senses.

I'm surprised more people didn't pick super-smell, cause that seems like it would be the most super-powered to me... it would be much easier to read emotions, track people, and figure out weird stuff besides.

You can have one of your senses supercharged to a far higher capacity than is possible with us humans. Which do you choose?? How would you use this new power?

Personally as an artist I'd definitely choose sight. I was looking out the window today at the distant mountains and I thought to myself how much beautiful detail I was missing out on, how short-sighted and blind I am. I can only see a tiny fraction of the colour spectrum. That's what inspired me to make this thread! :)

Which do you choose? If I've missed anything out, ask and I'll add it :)

Well, I thought of proprioception, but couldn't think of a way to apply it to this concept :p

Super enhanced awareness of where one's body is? Actually, if you could train and use that you could possibly be an incredible fighter. Thats AWESOME. I'm putting it in!

Also, as to the rules behind the super-sensitising, it cannot be to the extent that basic actions or common stimuli (such as sunlight) can cause you pain or incapacitate you. When you think of sight, think of having an eagle's eyes. Smell, think of having a wolf's nose. Touch, think of hypersensitivity, even to the extent you can feel fluctuations in the atmosphere around you, but not to the extent that the smallest amount of pain will incapacitate you.
We do have the ability though.

I would pick super strength with no side effects you can control it after all and take more.
Just being as strong as spiderman is good enough for me.

You know, at first I was going to say my sense of entitlement, but I really do deserve to have all my senses over-sensitized. It's owed to me.
