What Superpower would you NOT want under any circumstances?

[Rax]

To be a vampire and to sparkle in sunlight

Yes this! Or a gay werewolf! (To actual gays don't get your ascots in a tangle, nothing personal)

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

Blood manipulation, I don't want to be a living period joke (especially since I'm a guy)

 

[Aprilgold]

Telepathy, moving really fast and the ability to make anyone fall in love with me when they just looked at me, guys and gals.

 

[Yopaz]

Super speed. The accelerated metabolism required for sustaining it could go 'wrong' to easily. You'd have to eat massive amounts of food to keep from starving yourself to death. It would be incredibly easy to injure yourself without meaning to. Plus, it seems like it would be quite possible to have every aspect of your body accelerated, your brain, your body aging, all of it. Who wants to get bored with something after a nanosecond? Or die when you're three?

I've always thought of this with super speed... It makes you able to move super fast and you see those who have it running hundreds of miles in seconds... I am starting to get out of breath after a few miles, wouldn't the same thing happen with super speed? Move for 3 seconds then need a sip of water and a short rest? Good to see someone else than me thinking super speed sucks... Also you didn't mention any issues in the bed here..

OT: super smell. I can see no advantages to this, and all bad things. Smell people who really need a shower (there is one guy I smell from half a mile as it is) or food that I wont get to taste. Knowing that someone a mile away is making hamburgers while I am eating noodles? No. I don't want that AT all.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

To be the same as Mr. Immortality. His only power is coming back to life when killed. He still feels pain and all, he just comes back. On the other hand, I'd like to be the guy who always comes back with new powers after dying, though I don't remember his name.

Goku? Hey-o!

Hulk or The Thing powers, moreso Hulk, because at least The Thing can think normally. Being Psychic, but the kind where stuff talks to you without you initiating it. Cyclops vision- no wonder the dude has trouble empathizing.

 

[JMeganSnow]

I think I'd prefer to give the Blob's power a miss.

 

[maxmanrules]

Cassandra's Tears.
Anyone who gets that reference, please tell me.

 

[Acidwell]

The ability to create a medium sized block of cheese. BUT i wouldn't have any control over it.

 

[Infernai]

The ability to heal people when i punch them...i don't think i need to explain why that wouldn't be useful.

 

[darktau21]

i would say the ability to explode. first off how would u know u had such a power or how could u prove it without blowing yourself up.

 

[MoD1212]

Rogue's power from X-men, technically she can control it now, but absorbing the memories and life force of anyone you touched would suck, plus be one lonely gloves only life-stlye

EDIT: Fucking ninja'd

Rogue's power from the Xmen, the power to kill people by touching them. Whether you want to or not.

 

[Plucky]

The ability to talk/understand animals, sure if you swear or somthing odd like that its ok, but if you're trying to go to sleep during the night, you'll basically hear squawks as "Tweet Twoo hot legs, a roo gah a roo gah" and barks as "Shaddapa your face" every night for the rest of your life, you can't just scream out of the window, since for all we know it could have been an animal speaking, or a human speaking, due to the powers, it would be too hard to distinguish the differences.

If in the case you do scream outside, chances are people would send you to a lunatic asylum or somthing weird. :x

 

[Nexus4]

Immortality, no way is anything worth that hell.

 

[putowtin]

Laser eyes would be annoying

agreed
"hey look it's your ma"
"where?"
"well she was there, now theirs just a smoldering pile of ash!"

 

[infohippie]

Super strength.
by the laws of physics it would not work well, first off, if you try and lift something heavy your hands will go right through it since it's so much force being concentrated on a small area, second, involuntary muscle reactions (sneezing, hiccuping, sexual stimuli) would be disastrous.

What he said. For a good description of some of the problems super strength (as well as some of Superman's other abilities) would cause, try reading a bit of speculation by Larry Niven called Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex. You can find it in full online.

 

[Veldel]

Meat Vision id not want it i mean do you really want to turn everything into meat?

 

[anima110]

lazzer blasts out of my hand like iron man its would be cool but there are some down side, like if it went off wen you were scrking your head

 

[Trull]

Summoning Satan every time I sneeze is quite the bummer

 

[Doclector]

The pirates of the carribean "Aztec gold" version of immortality.

Cool parts:

Freakin' IMMORTAL
Turn into badass skeletons when the moon is out

Bad parts:

Never ending hunger, thirst, and other bodily needs.

As much as I want to use barbossa's badass "ghost stories" line, the bad outweighs the good.
