Having read Fappy's open letter, I have decided that I should contribute to the attempt to breathe some frivolity back into the forum. And what better way to do that than with a thread about superpowers? (I know this has been done before but shut up, we need some light-heartedness)

What would your ideal superpower be? Personally I like the idea of time manipulation. I'd never have to worry about not having done enough study for an exam again.

Also, fun little game, here's the link to the superpowers wiki:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Superpower_Wiki

Click on a random page and then say what it was you landed on.

I got Expanding Energy Bolts, which is apparently the ability to cast bolts of energy that expand on contact with their target.

Also, Captcha just asked me if I plan on getting engaged in the next 12 months. It'll never work between us, Captcha, I'm just not ready for that level of commitment.

After way too much thought on this topic I decided the best superpower would be having no bodily fatigue.

The most obvious change is that you'll no longer need sleep, but also you'll never get tired while exercising, so you could run at your top speed forever, you could lift your maximum weight and hold it forever, you would only be restricted by what your bodies natural strength limits are, but with unlimited endurance training yourself to peak physical form would be easy.
If you took it further and said that you had no cellular fatigue then you pretty much do not age, so there's a variation of immortality there as well.

I'd go with the ability to teleport, the possibilities would be endless.

As for the game I got limb reattachment. That is one shit power to have, seeing as you would only be able to use it after having your limbs cut off.

Well, my first idea of the super power would have been telekenesis, but after I hit the random page...

The Deity Soul [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Deity_Soul]

I basically get god-like powers. It can be any also, so not only do I get my pick of all powers, but I also get it at level 99. It's basically a cheat code. The world is so screwed if I had this.

But if forced to narrow it down...energy manipulation. So I'd basically be throwing balls of energy around like it's Dragonball Z, but on the level of a god, which is probably more powerful than Goku(who could blow up planets in his highest states). Seriously, I got so lucky.

DOUBLE EDIT: DAMMIT. I didn't read the rest of my wiki. I limited myself to a small subsection of one of the main powers I could have had(I didn't even know energy manipulation was a legit thing, I though I made it up. I'd like to change my narrowed down deity soul power to be Nigh-Omnipotence.

I think he just keeps hitting random page until he gets one that can't be beaten. Either that, or he really does have that power, and he would get it regardless of what actually came up when he hit the random page button...

So when I day "I'm the Baby, gotta love me," I'm not giving you a choice. Realistically I could probably grant myself omniscience by finding a reality-shaper or command people to get me as close to omnipotent as possible.

I'd like to see a battle between you, me, and Daystar. I feel like so far we three have found the most game breaking powers there are.

Transcendent Demon Physiology? Been there done that :3

Ideally I'd have omnipotence, having fun with the universe would be pretty cool.

I landed on Troll Physiology [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Troll_Physiology]. I think that it's stupid. It's basically becoming the Hulk, and I don't really like the Hulk that much (I feel like he's a lazilly written super hero).

I think I'll go with Gravity Embodiment [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Gravity_Embodiment]. I could make a Baseball super Gravital and throw it in a gang ridden neighborhood. All the criminals would be attached to a baseball!

Well if Daystar can lie about being truly Omnipotent, my power (as per the wiki) cannot be used on him (for domination at least) and true omnipotence is pretty much impossible to lose with. Your Nigh Omnipotence may not save you should I try to dominate. All else fails, I can create an identical dimension in which I am the only one with powers. It's a coin flip really. I would avoid direct fights with deific monoliths, too high of a chance we would sunder reality, so shadow wars and puppet games would be how I think it would play out.

hmm... I do like gothic architecture, think I know what the citadel in the side plane will look like.

OT: Acidic Poison Generation [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Acidic_Poison_Generation]

Hrrmmm, from the description this has it's drawbacks, but one lady with the same power is definitely hot!

I wonder if I could ask her out on a date?

My ideal ability would be the power to summon fictional beings in to my universe, complete with their full power sets.
Time/Space continuum about to implode? Summon the Doctor. Giant monster attack? Summon Goku.

Now my random superpower....Enhanced Strength....well that's dull, though straightforwardly useful, I suppose.

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

This is what it gave me. I'm not sure what to think. I don't know anything about Finnish Deities o_o.

And as far as my own want of superpower? There's a personal one I'd rather not share because it's corny as all hell, but I guess if I wanted to go with the whole "HAHA, TREMBLE MORTALS" type of approach, it'd probably be the ability to stop time on a whim. No slowing, no fast forward, only time stops.
