Superpowers You Would Want for Day-to-day Life

[dragonswarrior]

Mind reading and telepathy. I work with small children, and the biggest challenge is figuring out what they want and need and how they are feeling. The second biggest problem is getting them to see that you understand them and are on their side, even if you do have to discipline them.

Seriously, I feel like most kids don't start really trusting me till I've worked with them for close to a year. It's incredibly frustrating. I wish I could just project a "Hey, I understand why you did this but you still have to face the consequences of it" directly into their heads so they'd stop freaking out when I need them to sit down and chill.

I would want the ability to heal sickness and injury and stuff like that. It would be seriously useful in my day to day life, even if the effects weren't permanent. I'd heal myself and my siblings and we'd all function a LOT better. Plus then I could get rich healing people for a living, establishing a pay-what-you-can scheme so that rich people can donate and keep me going while poor people get care for free. Ideally, anyway.

Id have Harvest.

A swarm of 500 bee/ant things that can be ordered to collect loose change. Among other things, but collection is the main thing here.

Work that in or near a major city center and id be set for life.

 

[bluerocker]

Flying. I'd never be late to class again, I'd just zip over to the 4th floor window of Whatever Building!

Aside from that, time stopping would be nice. Spend more time on the weekends, and never miss homework assignments/deadlines/whatever.

 

[Tiamattt]

Power-napping. Pretty much just want to be able to cram a few hours worth of sleep into a few minutes.(or less) I'll never need coffee again!

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

I wish I had Venom's symbiote powers. Not so I can destroy Spider-Man or even help those in need. I just want it so I always have someone to talk to.

 

[Kotaro]

The ability to rewind time, while retaining my memory of the original events. So I could do things differently and fix the stupid mistakes that I make all the time.

 

[TheSYLOH]

Whenever someone ask what super power would you like for
I always answer the same thing.
OMNIPOTENCE!!
UNLIMITED POWER!!!!

Gotta admit, nothing would improve the quality of my day to day life like being a literal god.

Captcha: so life like

 

[sumanoskae]

I will avoid saying omnipotence, because that would be the obvious logical choice; I'm sure everyone has thought of it.

I cannot fathom having superpowers and not changing my life at all. I suppose simply having mind control powers on the scale of Charles Xavier would always be useful.

 

[AliasBot]

Flight because, well, flight. Everything is better if you fly to do it. (Also saves me from dealing with the endless amount of staircases in my dorm building, I can just pop up onto a balcony from outside.)

For more practical purposes, time manipulation (speeding myself up relative to the flow of time around me, mainly while I sleep so that I can stay up super late and still get a full night's sleep, but also for when I inevitably procrastinate on an assignment) or what Coil had in Worm, being able to experience multiple realities at once and then collapse one of them and keep the other (so I could have a reality I spent studying and learning material, while in "reality" having spent that time hanging out with friends and playing video games). Really I just need a way to compensate for my atrocious time management and I'm golden.

 

[Johnny Impact]

Super speed. Get done everything I ever wanted to do. Get all my obligations out of the way in seconds.

Perfect recall. Never again wonder where I left that note I wrote myself, because I don't need to write notes anymore!

Mind reading. Communicating with other humans is so frustrating.....or it was, until I could read their thoughts like a teleprompter!

 

[Davroth]

I take Lobo style immortality. Some people would say that immortality would get boring and depressing, but I don't buy it. There's so much stuff you can learn and master. Doesn't seem like a bad way to spend eternity.

 

[KazeAizen]

Waterbending hands down. Its probably the most practical in our world out of the four bendings from Avatar. Keep myself dry in the rain and honestly, just use it for leisure time. There are a few choice lakes and I have a pool. Waterbending could just provide some nice spice to my day.

 

[TheNaut131]

Replication.

Like Multiple Man/Billy Numerous/Naruto shadow-clone style guys.

I've thought about this for awhile actually. I could get multiple things done at once like studying, working on my own little side projects, spreading my classes out among my duplicates, hanging out with different groups of friends at the same time, etc. I can learn and experience things all at the same time. Maybe heal myself by giving the damage/affliction to a duplicate or adsorbing a perfectly fine one.

I can talk to myself about things and work through issues a lot more efficiently (for me at least)

I CAN FIGHT MYSELF

I CAN FIGHT ANYONE

I CAN APPLY FOR MULTIPLE JOBS

I CAN PLAY MULTIPLE GAMES

AGAINST MYSELF

 

[SD-Fiend]

Aside from outright omnipotence or creating life from nothing (So I could make awesome designer pets and sell them for profit) I would choose Time Travel. I would never be late again and use it to get better scores on tests by remembering what I missed so I could get it right a second time. I would also go back in time and experience events that I missed out on and buy rare video games in bulk before they actually become rare.

 

[JayRPG]

Telekinesis... always telekinesis... it would make my life pretty much perfect.

 

[DaWaffledude]

Prince of Persia style time-travel. Being able to try one moment over and over until I get it just right, and no one would ever know the difference. I would be one smooth ************.

Also, I could study and watch an entire TV show in literally no time at all. Note-taking would get a bit difficult though.
