You can never stop. You will spend the rest of your life with blond, foot tall hair, and will never stop glowing.

I'd choose immortality. That means if I die (the opposite of living forever), then I'd die anyways. Win-win.

Instant, non-damaging absorption of knowledge about everything around me.

Yeah, it'd mean I'd not be able to not know things about things around me, and that nobody would be able to hide secrets from me.

Seeing my superpowers of super senses and enhanced logic at the cost of sensitivity to EVERYTHING and not understanding things I cannot track the logical route to, it's kinda easy.

Here's a question for you all. If we choose what superability we get, who would choose the weakness? As we've seen here, giving yourself a weakness, logical or otherwise, will be biased in your favor, so who would determine how and if your weakness is fair?

And don't say God or anything religious, this is sci-fi/fantasy so don't ruin it.

I would chose super-intelligence, because if I could only think for the rest of my life without having to act, I would be so happy. I am essentially lazy, therefore this curse would actually be the part of the superpower, the ability to think about whatever I want without being interrupted.

My superpower would be that I can decide the length of my facial hair and normal hair. Can someone please tell me what would kill me?

the power to manifest into anything my imagination can come up with?
opposite...
opposite...

Ironically enough i can't imagine the opposite to that, maybe that should be my curse...

I'd choose Immortality. The opposite to that is... well... being dead forever. So basically, I'd live forever, but if I somehow died then... Well I would die. Oh no!

Edit: xD Snap, Monopoly Guy!

What about immortality? The exact oppposite of that is mortality, which is prevented by my power.
What if you weren't allowed to leave the place where you became immortal? Like, if you were in the bathroom and *poof* immortal - once you leave the bathroom, you lose your power and die? Maybe that area should be expanded to the size of a small village to keep your power from being totally useless.

Seems like a fair balance to me. Better than a painting of your soul, at least.

I would control water and never set foot on land again.

I would make super thick ice boots so I could still walk on land yet technically not touching it.

HA!!!! Loop hole!

What if you were super saiyan 4? You wouldn't glow, have blond or foot long hair. Maybe six inches but not a foot.

Well, then I'd be exponentially more powerful than a Super Saiyan, insanely ripped, I'd age slowly (being a Saiyan and all), I'd be delightfully furry, and I'd have a tail. I think I'd actually attract a few girls like that, because I'd keep my fur all soft and stuff. I would say things like, "Hey sweety, you can pet me. I don't bite. Hard." and, "If you think I'm an animal now, allow me to invite you to my sleeping quarters." I'd be like a big fuzzy pimp. Come to think of it, being a pimp wouldn't be so out of the question considering the color of the body hair.

What's the curse of the coolest superpower ever, the power to control gravity?
You'd have to constantly walk around with either X5 your weight or things around you would fly at you.

What if my superpower was to know every bit of information in the universe and understand any and all concepts perfectly from the start?
Your curse would be that you would not be able to spread the knowledge, as no other human being would be able to comprehend you, no?

As for myself: the power to let any woman fall in love with me. The opposite 'curse'? No man will ever fall in love with me. Win-win situation, I tell you.

I'd take the same power as I've always chosen: the ability to transfer fatigue/drain energy between people and me with invisible serpents. The weakness is already built in (I'd never be able to sleep, or else I'd die/the serpents would drain random people), but it's something that i could live with.
