Distintegration perhaps.


Or simply enhanced athletic and physical abilities and become a masked vigilante.

Quite a few votes for psychokinesis. Has anyone ever tried to use such a power in the hope they possess it?
I have and I swear I've done shit with my mind.
I do have a theory that I feel I have evidence for.
Its common knowledge that we don't use 100% of our brain. I think its only like 16& or something like that. I believe that is we did possess the ability to use all 100% then we could use telepathy, telekinesis/pyschokinesis and what not. This untouched part of our mind is what, as I believe, gives us our "déjà vu".
I've had dreams of things I do the next day or in the near future and I can actually remember said dreams.
No, you're wrong. The whole 'we only use 10-20% of our brain' is patently false. I'm sorry to tell you but it's a tired cliche that I keep seeing again and again. Over a 24 hour period, you use 100% of your brain.

To quote snopes: "Have you ever heard a doctor say, 'But luckily when that bullet entered his skull, it only damaged the 90 percent of his brain he didn't use"? Of course not."

I believe he means we don't use 100% consciously. I mean if we could actually decide to apply all 100% of our brain (I concede that certain parts wouldn't be very helpful for certain tasks) then we don't know what we would be capable of.......

The ability to move through solid matter all the while turning it into dust.
although only if you could turn it off when not using it, otherwise it could lead to some awkward situations.

I'd like different forms of beams from my eyes. I always thought that eye beams were one of the sweetest and coolest powers ever. Plus, I'll never miss!

I would take Amazo's ability if I have all you guys next to me.

Here's the short version.

"Absorption cells throughout Amazo's synthetic body permit the android to replicate the special abilities of any super-beings in his immediate proximity."
What about super beings that are far away and have ranged powers - you'd be screwed?
Copy someone with telepathy or fast speed and I'm next to them in a mere second.
But who says there's anyone with that power near you?
Are you really trying to be a buzzkill?

If I fight someone who has High speed, he'll come next to me at some point. Look on this page, fudgebo said he would take superspeed.

Someone with teleportation would teleport behind me and he would be in my in my area of range at some point too.

However, if I'm fighting someone with range powers while I don't have an ability to reach them, there's only one thing to do: Hiding in the shadows and wait till he points his ugly mug.

Now, Are you going to ask more questions to kill my own fun or i'm going to point out some Justice league episodes?

Pyrokinesis , but with such absolute control over it that I could do anything with it. More green lantern with fire than human torch flame throwing, although i could make it that crude if I so desired. Transportation? Jet feet and hands. In a fight? show them that i can shoot death from my fingertips and have them surrender. Even something as mundane as being too lazy to walk to the microwave and heating a bag of popcorn....with my face!

Joke:Oh well...Wait, you questionned my position and I didn't give an answer based on random arguments...The people must not see this. Guess I'll send rex to eat you.

But seriously, I took Amazo's ability because he became stronger than gods.

I WAS going to say shapeshifting like a lot of people have, but then I had a better idea.

What I want is the ability to manipulate the genetic code of any creature at will. (Including myself, duh.) If it's biologically possible for it to exist, I can compel somethings genetic code to change so it grows into it!

---

So for example, I could look at an apple tree and will it to instead grow PINEAPPLES!

*WOMMM!* (Mind power sound effect!)

Hey, that guy over there dying of AIDS? NOT ANYMORE!

*WOMMM!*

You? Say you want wings or the ability to see infrared or super-hearing or something? I can make it so!

*WOMMM!*

I'm walking by a convention center with a furry convention going on, and some dude out front says he wants nothing more than to be an anthro-wolf or whatever? Well alright-y then! It'll take a long time for your body to change, but that's a small price to pay!

*WOMMM!*

Oh no! Massive crop failures due to a new plant disease the staple crop is susceptible to? Well, they ain't susceptible to it no more!

*WOMMM!*

Want to lose weight? Begone, genetic disposition to accumulate excess calories as fat, hello faster metabolism!

*WOMMM!*

---

Dude, that power would fucking KICK ASS.

So, if were asking what our Super-POWER would be, I can't help but wonder how this power would work out for a Super-HERO.

My Super-Costume would be a pair of nice big stomp-y combat boots, a pair of black coveralls [http://www.militarycraft.com/flightsuits_coveralls/black_tactical_swat_coveralls/] and an extra long trench-coat-like lab coat with black embroidery resembling DNA. I imagine my equivalent to the 'Fortress of solitude' would be a futuristic sky-scraper in the middle of a circular nature-preserve that's filled with all of my weird creations and a giant geodesic dome [http://z.about.com/d/queens/1/0/Q/F/geodesic-dome.jpg] covering everything (To keep unwanted visitors OUT, and my creations IN).

I'd probably spend a lot of time jet-setting around the world, helping to solve famines and disease, a lot more time creating new life-forms for the good of all people (Meat plants! Fast growing super-crops! Super fuel producing algae!), and the rest of my time would be work people commission from me cause' the Super-Base isn't going to pay for itself (You want to be a furry? Sure, it can be done. Think a half-cougar half-wolf would make a bad ass pet? Lets find out. Have a cool plant you designed on paper? Done and done.).

Aw man, it's exciting just sitting here thinking about the possibilities.

So I can wish for other powers
I dunno if that counts as cheating........
Well, you didn't give rules. Just to be interesting, I'm gonna say the ability to manipulate matter. I could do anything lol. Oh, throw in a few Quantum Physics theories. Transform, instantly appear anywhere (all points are connected theory thing.) Whatever I want. It pretty much embodies telekinesis too.

Although would wishing for more powers violate the "choose one superpower" bit?

Well, actually no it wouldn't.......fair play.

And yes, Quantum Theory manipulation would be epic
