The most useful superpower in the world

instant matter materialization. I can make anything from anything. I want a time machine (boom) done. I want food (boom) done. I want any of you guys powers (boom) made a machine that mimics them. done.

The ability to create and destroy matter. My reasoning is that I can declare myself a god at that point.

And from what I understand, this is currently impossible.

Matter can be created and destroyed. It's energy that can't.

Nothing can be created from nothing. Matter will merely change into energy and energy will change into matter. Regardless of what, it does not destroy itself as it merely changes form.

I'm talking about creating something without changing anything in the process. With a snap of my fingers will something appear before me kind of a thing. And that is currently impossible.

Stopping time, if someone for example wants to kill you, stop the time and run away.
Other uses can be thought of too.

The problem, of course, being that if the stopping of time meant the person trying to kill you couldn't move (which I assume you were implying), it would also mean you couldn't move, if not because the time-stop would have the same effect on you, then because it would prevent the air, your clothing, etc. from moving.

To know every possible fact in the universe and be able to access it instantly[...].

I believe the term "ninja'd" could be applied here. Well done, sir.

it has to be mistiques power from the xmen, she can change to any superhero she wants and have their powers. what more could you want?

You wouldn't mind being blue and scaley?

 

[SeanTheSheep]

Remember that gun from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? (The film, I've not read the book) The one that forces the target to see your point of view? I want that ability.

It's called the Point of View Gun, and it doesn't work on women.

Oh this one's easy... Omnipotence is what I would go with.

No problem that can't be solved.

Omnipotence is knowing everything, not necessarily being able to do anything about it.

OT: I don't really know.
I suppose something that would help in every day life, or revolutionise my everyday life.

how would you be a god, when you are not all-knowing, nor immortal?

I don't believe gods are immortal or all knowing.

If they were all knowing, the Egyptian Gods would have defeated the Jewish God quite handedly considering how many of Them outnumbered Him. And if they were immortal, then the loss of followers wouldn't have put them into a slumber and they still would be standing their ground. The only reason they're alive now is because museums and schools still talk about them... when they are truly forgotten will they die.

Well that's what I believe anyways and yeah... I spent way too much time trying to make sense of these things.

nice theory - and yeah i suppose the definition of "God", varies from person to person.
