There is no greater super power than mind control

[Bernzz]

the power to absorb other powers, kirby ftw

My thoughts exactly.

Time manipulation, sooooooo much better. Get in a fight? Punch with a fist moving at light speed. Suck at games? Triple reflexes. Stuck in a test? Pause time to think instead of just straight up cheating, you might learn something. "Think fast"? Ok. Computer shit slow? Encase individual components in a time slow bubble to have infinite performance. And of course, see hot girl, no-one's the wiser... and now there's a good question, if no-one's the wiser, how morally wrong is it really? Pause time to think.

Not to mention the Physics Behind a Punch at the Speed of Light: F=ma therefore a 65kg person traveling at 3.00x10^8 m/s(Speed of Light for those not in the loop) = 19500000000N of Force, that's 65,000 atomic bombs.

Wrong. Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

At least, Shiki Ryougi's version (Shiki Tohno's limited to killing concrete existences, so he'd probably get it in the shorts). Then you just Kill the mind control and stab the user for good measure.

Even beyond "reality manipulation." The power to destroy anything is one of the two greatest powers of all.

Hands down, mind control is strongest super power. Sure, you can't fly or control the weather, but you could just mind control those superhumans who can to do whatever you want. Think about, most of our problems in our lives and their solutions involve other people. Mind control would basically give you a cheat code for life:

- Unemployed and poor? Mind control someone to give you a job. Or just forget the job and mind control bank executives or rich people to give you money
- Unlucky in love? No girl or guy could resist you with mind control. A related question: would mind controlling someone to have sex with you be rape? Because technically they would consent, even if you put the idea in their head
- Doing poor in school? Turn those D-pluses into As just by looking at the instructor
- Tired of shitty games and moves? Mind control the best development houses to make exactly what you want
- etc.

You would be invincible for all intensive purposes, because anyone who wanted to arrest or kill you could be mind-controlled to love you instead. And before you mention Magneto's helmet, who says we have to play by X-men rules? Really, the only way you could stop a person like this would be with a cruise missile or nuclear bomb - basically he or she would have to be completely unaware that a threat was even present.

What about reality warping? Sure, no one truly knows how it works. But understanding the basic concept of it is enough to have anyone salivating. Congratulations, asshat! You now have the ability to reshape matter and energy, create or alter life forms, turn a person's thoughts or desires into reality, simulate any and all other powers and abilities, bend time and space, and possibly even rewrite the laws of physics!

The number one shortcoming is that everything would feel unauthentic. Had a crush on that girl since grade school? Just brainwash her! Now she caters to your every need and loves you unconditionally! But does she really love you? Or is it just the mind tricks?

Mind control falls into the category of superpower that is basically "The character can do whatever is necessary". It is an easy way out of any situation. It is, as a result, boring. A similar power is the ability to control time itself, though time control is more generally useful as mind control only works when there is a mind present to control.

 

[Eisenfaust]

and then someone gets wind of your mind control and drops a bomb on you just in case...

 

[Brawndo]

See if I had mind control powers I would make everyone ITT agree with me the second they hit the reply button

What about Super Speed? When I can move several times the speed of light, I can kill you before you are even capable of processing a single synapse.

Only if you are already an unstoppable force.

You cannot mind control one of The Void, for there is nothing to control.

Therefore, you will be consumed with nothing you can do about it.

Loophole has been found. (O_O)

 

[jakefongloo]

Telekinesis for me. If you really want to get technical about it, with telekinesis you have EVERY OTHER SUPER POWER. Want to start fires? create friction on the particle level. Want to control minds? Reroute or just remake other peoples heads. Want to control time? Reimagine the scene as it was 2 seconds ago. And fucking A I wouldn't have to get out of my chair to get a damn soda.

 

[TheNewDemoman]

Wayyy to much theorising


But Mind Control Kicks ass

 

[KR-105]

I think the best superpower is the ability to use the force, if you've watched the Star Wars movies or played the games or if you've read the novels you can notice how convinient this ability is, basically is everything you may want to have, from telekinesis, speed, strenght to be able to cast lightnings and mind control.

 

[drwow]

maybe, but it's not the coolest.
I would much rather fly then have mind control.
hell, mind control is probably near the bottom for awesome, it's boring. it's like, right next to talking to fish.
give me laser eyes or spiderwebs.

That's because you've obviously never made people harbor such intense hatred of each other that they attack each other for your amusement while building your own harem

Nah, that's like watching tv, I can see shit like that on tv already anyway.
Now never being able to die and throwing your self off buildings all the time and getting your self on tv? that's awesome. I would fake death in the most spectacular ways possible.

That would kill whoever is throwing the punch. The body would break because 19500000000N have to come from somewhere. Shit going the speed of light to 0m/s it theoretically nanoseconds of time would splatter every major and minor and back up and understudy organ you have against the bones and skins that are no longer there.

Mind control cant save you from a gun, and remember, mind control isnt something that you just do and forget (no pun intended). It follows two rules (maybe more):
1) You have to have CONSTANT focus and control over the person's mind. Oka, maybe you can do that and keep your mind on what youre doing iwth one guy. Now lets say you're stuck in the middle of a gang, thousands of guys. You gonna mind control ALL of them, at the same time, exerting all the mental strength required, while having your mind focus on your body too? I somehow doubt it.
2) it will wear off. That means that at different times, since you didnt just mind control everyone at once. Also, you have no idea when it will wear off, since the stronger the mind, the less time they'll be under control. So lets say you fall asleep, and the control wears off. Guess who's screwed.

Also, you're talking about radius, and thats gonna exert energy. You could kill yourself just trying to control someone, especially if they can fight back (center a piece of their mind away and defend, keeping some free thought that can be later called upon).

Best superpower is time control mixed with an incredible sense of intuition (spidy sense). you know if I sniper fired a bullet at you from a mile away, can freeze time, move, go the person and kill them.

My mind control defies your rules!!

Instead of mind control per se, I would choose the ability to (ala hivemind) control as many humans(and only humans) as I wanted. My thought control is projected instantaneously and I am always "connected" to every human mind all of the time. I can sense if someone wanted to do something hostile and avert it entirely. I could force all people to work together for the greater good. I could raise an army of fanatical soldiers unhindered by the fog of war and friendly fire, and I would never even need any communication equiptment.

HIVE MIND is the best super power

 

[warprincenataku]

Puts on Magneto/Juggernaut style helmet, your argument is invalid.

 

[creonto]

i agree with crimsonpheonix: by far the best power would be the reshaping of anything down to the most basic level, you could make someones car turn into butter or makew ur house pure gold or even make a machine that could fly and function via cold fusion. of course this is assuming that if you can imagine it then it will work regardless of whether you understand it
