Super powers.........

[ArcticSquirrel]

Time travel without any aging to myself.

Imagine no 9/11. No levy break during Hurricane Katrina. John Lennon being alive and making subpar music, as all famous musicians eventually do. No Holocaust. No Jesus ever being crucified. No fear of depicting Muhammad. No AIDS. No cancer. Acceptance of homosexuals and blacks much earlier. No anti-science crusade.

*sighs*

I'm sorry, but the ability to meddle with time is something that should NEVER be done. The possibilities with moving even the faintest stone could ruin EVERYTHING.

This will be easy to explain, it's called the butterfly effect. Maybe you are traveled back in time and are in Europe somewhere in the 800s. While exploring, you find this neat looking rock. It fits in your hand and is quite sharp. You take it with you and continue your journey. Soon, you get back home, and everything is changed. I don't know what has changed, but something DID change.

Well, lets just say that stone that you liked so much should have saved the life of some man who got in a tussle with a soldier. Lets just say this man is Alfred the Great.

Now, in a battle, let's just say Alfred got in a tussle with a Danish soldier, and they both ended up disarmed and fighting hand to hand. The Danish soldier took a swing at Alfred and knocked him down to the ground. Right next to where that stone WOULD be. But its not, he could of used that stone to kill the danish man, but he didn't. Instead, the Danish man got to his sword and stabbed Alfred.

Alfred should have went on to sign a treaty with the danes and have england separated, but because he died, all of his soldiers retreated. Without their great king, the Wessex empire fell and the whole world would change. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worse. That should not be a decision that a man could make.

Gravity Manipulation, you could do all kinds of awesome shit eg. 9000Gs of gravity, inside someones head. you could also fly by using it to pull you around :3

 

[Paksenarrion]

Temporal Teleportation (at will)

I know lots of people choose this power, but there's a reason why 4 out of 5 Escapists prefer being able to travel through Time and Relative Dimensions in Space.

 

[Whitenail]

The power of flight, super-heros captivated your childhood imagination and the thought of flying without aircraft captivated mine.

 

[badgersprite]

The power to create awkward silences...






*cough*

 

[Biosophilogical]

The ability to transform into animals

I'll just upgrade to general shape-shifting (with proper use it creates immortality, eternal youth, invincibility, and that whole 'make others like you' in a near-vampiric way.

 

[MrAkuma201]

The power to make make people do whatever I want and they will love it

 

[bulbasaur765]

The ability to fly. That way I won't have to drive a car to go anywhere far.

 

[nuba km]

I always try to come up with a different superpower each time this topic is brought up normally going with something more creative like making people vomit by will this time I will want the ability to control human and animal waste products so basically pee and faeces even while it is still inside a person.

 

[Longshot1073]

The power to make everything turn into a montage @ will.

 

[WolfThomas]

Depends on how strict our rules are, by comic standards I'd like one ofthese three in order of importance:
1.Flying brick, flight with strength and durability (e.g. Superman, Ms Marvel and dozens more heroes)
2. Telepathic/Telekinetic combo, yeah two different abilities, but they often go together (especially in marvel, Jean Gray, Rachel Summers, Pslocke, Cable, Nate Grey, Exodus, Mantis)
3. Healing factor plus some sort of animal/enhanced senses (Wolverine, Sabertooth, Wildchild)

But if we're being strict, I'd go:
1. Healing factor
2. Telekinesis
3. Flight

 

[ninetails593]

The ability to control time. Super strength don't do shit when you're frozen over a bottomless pit with an angry raptor in your pants.

 

[joshuaayt]

Immortality. That is, utter inability to die, not the purely unaging one.

I woudn't even need extra powers- an otherwise ordinary human who cannot be killed, dressing up and pretending to be an inept vigilante... until I get shot, then BAM! Oh no, he isn't dying what the hell?

Even if I end up getting trapped somewhere for millions of years, eventually the planet will be consumed by the sun, and I'll exist somewhere within it. Then, supposing Heat Death doesn't happen, we'll have the delicious big crunch, followed by a second bang and I'll just drift through space, cool as a cucumber.

 

[Xaio30]

Manipulating time! Ofc without the paradoxes. :3

 

[ultrachicken]

Probably telekinesis, because that allows flying and moving shit with your mind.

Or invisibility.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Same thing I've said for years: Mind control, and the ability to control an army of rabid bunnies and man eating butterflies.

You do realize that with no crucifixion and no Holocaust, the world would be a much worse place right? The casual and blatant racism against ALL non-whites in the early '40s and before was so bad that the Holocaust was inevitable. If it had never happened, the lax attitude towards racism would have continued probably even today. After all, we would have no example of why we SHOULDN'T be racist. Yes, the Holocaust was a truly despicable and atrocious act, but if it hadn't happened, the world would be far less accepting than it is today for any race.

Proof: Look at how the Japanese treated their prisoners of war in World War Two. Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler did Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and other minorities combined. American Survivors of World War Two have spoken about the mistreatment of Prisoners in Abu Ghraib. They said something along the lines of "Oh yeah, we used to do that to prisoners in World War Two as well." Then, of course, look at the lynchings in the south that took place all the way into the '60s, and to this day still occur sporadically. Men and women were hung, beaten, and burned simply for the crime of being caught being black in the wrong area at the wrong time.

You have to look at the bigger picture when you want to go around messing with time.

That's stupid. If I can fuck with time and I mess up then I'd just go back and not do what I did. Doy.

Then, when I travel back to the future, I'd NOTICE that and go back and put something awesome there for the dude to use. Duh.

And there'd be no real war as I'd be in the forefront with technology from the year 4000 with my plasma shield and mah layzer gun. And titty-grenades. Which are more of a psychological weapon than an actual harmful weapon.

 

[GodofDisaster]

The ability to choose what I want to touch, in other words I can turn solids into non solids and non solids into solids. Giving me the power to walk through walls, walk on water, make a shield out of thin air and even walk on the air.

Also as a second option, I would love to be able to do this.
