http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Artificial_Elements_Constructs

So, I can make anything I can imagine out of artificial elements, even lifeforms.

You know that cartoon character you've always wanted to bang? Yeah, I can make that happen.

Need a new window crank for your '62 Dodge Dart? I'm your guy.

Pet unicorn? Self-washing dishes? Clone of Heidi Klum? Lightsaber? You want it, you got it. And all at reasonable prices everyone can afford.

The money I make will be used for the materials I need to construct my Death Star, then all currency will be obsolete. Your individual worth will be calculated by how awesome I think you are. So, a pretty awesome person can wear that funny helmet and fire the giant space laser. An un-awesome person will be squeezed into a tiny droid costume and made to clean the toilets. You may begin worshiping me now to ensure you at least get one of those funny little hats.

I touch things... and they explode... hmm
Oh, I know! every 4th of july I'll walk around, and anyone who's having troubles lighting their fireworks can just give me like, a couple bucks, and I'll go high-five their sparklers or something

Or, If that doesn't pay enough, I'll just go work for Micheal Bay

-Police Negotiator. *Uses Power* Give up. "Okay."
-Gambling. Example, race horses. Make all but the one I've put $150 on at 50-1 odds just lose, jockey and horse to make sure.

Hmm, a lot of people are getting a lot of really cool/useful powers for this...what will mine be? Telekinesis? Matter production? Teleportation? Let's roll those "dice"....

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Skeleton_Dragon_Physiology?

Ummm...so I could guard someone else's treasure?
Oh, wait, wait, I can see some applications...forget hiring a limo pal, you want to make an impression pay me and show up somewhere riding on my back! Since I could fly and easily carry multiple people or have them ride on my back (bring blankets everyone it's bony back there...) I could also act as a travel service.
Of course I could hire myself as a guard for treasure or to guard a billionaire or his/her kids/family.
I bet amusement parks and circuses would also pay top dollar for my services, especially close to Halloween.
I could also do search and rescue, of course I might scare the person I'm rescuing to death....
Bet some movie makers would pay for my services too!
Hmm, I wouldn't need to breathe & pressure would have minimal effect on me...maybe even deep sea salvage.

The ability to eat or consume divine beings and gain their individual powers.
I'd eat a genius economist. Bing, bang, boom, goodbye monetary problems.

Is there an economist god? A god of the economy? Point me in their direction, please. NOT SO THAT I CAN EAT THEM, if that's what you're thinking.

Played again. Got Rule Bending [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Rule_Bending].

How to make money...idea!
-MASSIVE bank fraud. Advance time on my bank account until I have ALL the money, then revert those changes onto my current bank account.
-Time Reduction. Reduce time around me to a fraction (to the point I'm basically walking at the speed of light) and steal all the money. As if an eye had blinked, there was no cash.

Temporal Looping

User can trap anyone or anything into reiterating time stream where everything inside the loop is restarted precisely every so often, possibly even backwards. They may be able to force someone to relive the same minute, hour, day, year, etc. for as long as user keeps them there. On some occasions people have been know to retain a small amount of memories or eventually escape weaker temporal loops.

I don't know how the heck I can use this to make a profit?
Get into to boxing and whenever you have a match put up a looping field around the arena and then just restart the loop whenever you lose the fight.

Ooooohhh, never thought of that, Nice.

Thanks.

Or maybe playing the lottery?

Crap, I just realized that this power could be used for robbing banks, LOL.
The problem is that the time loop repeats itself exactly every single time. If you stuck yourself in a time loop, you'd always make the same choices you made when you were living through the experience for the first time. It's not quite just being able to skip backwards in time so that you could know what to do in any given situation. Like in Groundhog Day, Bill Murray KNOWS he's stuck in a time-loop and therefor can do whatever he wants, but as that power is defined: you wouldn't know you were stuck in a time loop...unless the effectiveness of your power was weak-sauce to begin with. :3
Everyone is missing a great application of this power. Have the government pay you to keep the most dangerous insane criminals humanely imprisoned until there is a safe method of rehabilitation for them.
Also have rich people who have diseases that there currently is no cure for pay you to keep them time-looped until a cure is found. Actually, do this for everyone with a sliding payment scale based on net wealth, that'd be the thing to do.
Can you time-loop yourself? Make some long term investments and then time-loop yourself for a year at a time, popping out to see how the investments are doing.
That power is a definite win for money making.

Absolute Existence.

It says that I basically have access to any power I can think of. I could just create money. However, let's make it more interesting. A hitman who instantly kill the target. I'd meet with my employer (teleporting right in front of them, naturally), read their mind about the target, instantly find out where they are, and then explode their heart. This would take place in a matter of milliseconds and the employer wouldn't even have to say a word. I would basically show up to collect the money (5 million a hit -being the best assassin in the world has its perks).

I always seem to get ridiculous things when I play this.

Freeze beam

User can emit beams of heat-draining energy from their eyes, freezing their opponents in their tracks.

Ok, maybe I can cool people off or something like that.
You'd make billions running a year-round ski slope or ice rink, or an everlasting snowball fight arena!

You could flash-freeze specimens for scientific study, making you an ideal biologist and/or lab technician.

I don't know how much money there'd be in it, but this can make you an excellent emergency or disaster responder as well. Obviously you could fight fires, etc., but you could also, for example, freeze oil spills inside solid chunks of ice so it can be easily hauled out of the water.

The user is or has the ability to take on the form of Will-O'-The-Wisp are either mischievous spirits of the dead, or other supernatural beings or spirits such as fairies, attempting to lead travelers astray

....


Well I guess I have a career as a lighthouse....

Or airport runway lights.
Here ya go: Open or work for a kennel or pet hotel, specifically working with cats. Use your wisp form to entertain the kitties for days on end, then post videos of it on Youtube and make a mint in ad revenue.

Blood bending to make money...hm.

I suppose I could use it in martial arts matches to make my opponent unable to fight or mess up their movements. Win endorsements from that.

Or there's bodyguard duty.
Dude, you're a living Aspirin with that power. The medical applications alone would be worth millions, besides the obvious "stop people from dying from bleeding/blood loss". You could reverse heart attack and stroke, cure any number of blood-related conditions such as: high/low cholesterol, anemia, or diabetes. If you're powerful/precise enough, you can manipulate the blood to reject disease or infection, essentially insta-curing any blood-borne illness.

... or make a small fortune treating varicose veins (among other blood-related cosmetic problems) and erectile dysfunction, simply by restoring or rerouting normal blood flow. Because, you know, that's where the real money is.

Captcha: underpants. Exactly, Captcha... ew.
Error, Captcha: mea culpa. I accept your apology, Captcha.

ok, I'll try

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Parallel_Processing
The user's mind is capable of carrying out multiple calculations and thought processes at once.

oh. Well, hell, that one is pretty easy to convert into money. Business, politics, technological applications all over the place there. Fame as a detective who solves multiple cases at a time even.

Decided to try again and see if I could get something a little more interesting.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Canaanite_Deity_Physiology
The power to have the traits and abilities of Gods and Goddesses of Canaan.

I just got godhood...I don't think I need money at that point, do I?

You absorb light. Great for stealth I imagine, also possibly for screwing with people doing experiments with light itself.

Hmmm, I should really do some research to get the best out of this power. To TVTropes!


Okaay, apparently I'm going to need to buy a lampshade or something?
This is literally my favourite post

OT: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Imprisonment

Power to bind, imprison or otherwise stop objects by using earth.
I could be a bounty hunter or something? Being able to stop stuff dead in it's tracks; I guess I could rob armoured vans?

So basically I can control electricity. But it doesn't stop there, it also involves matter manipulation.

So I will make money by, ummmmmm, helping out research and development types looking into matter. Or act as a LHG.

Well... shit.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Pattern_Sense

The ability to analyze, and later pick up on, patterns in one's environment.

So it would appear I can now super analyze patterns.

I've got it!

I'll buy myself a super sweet top hat and become the living version of Prof. Layton. I'll travel the world and make money when people pay me to solve their measly puzzles!
