What Superpower would you NOT want under any circumstances?

[lllumpy]

Would not like to be the thing for Fantastic 4.

Vampirism. Don't know if that's a superpower or more of a disease. Straight up immortality has always seemed like a bad idea to me. However a Lazarus pits immortality i would like, something where i could die if i wanted to. I think any of the x-men power that involves pain or physical mutation to invoke would suck. also flight. Flight without any other power is kinda useless, unless you're an ornithologist. basically you'd just be a normal person that happens to fly. You can save money on a car and gas, great job.

Super vision, to be honest...if I ever looked at the sun while in super-mode accidentally I'd be blinded XD!!

 

[loc978]

The power of Moist, from Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog.
"...at my most badass I make people feel like they wanna take a shower..."

Plus, he can't handle anything without getting it wet. Great for sexualized puns, but not so great for paperwork. No thanks.

 

[Prostagit]

Now i know Telekinesis sounds like a stupid one, but if it was controlled by thought, without the secondary powers to stop it, you could crush your own brain in a moment, or worse someone else's in a fit of rage of some description. Another one i would like to add is the "Regeneration" Idea from Doctor Who, it would be disastrous the fact that every time you died you came back and no one would recognize you.

I always thought Sandman from the Spiderman universe had the crappiest super power ever. I just couldn't take him seriously.

"Mwahahaha! Tremble before me puny citizens! Despair at my terrible power as I become......SAND!"

*paf*

*cat urinates on sand pile*

Reverse-mind reader. Everybody can hear my thoughts.
Oh boy, that would be a bad life.

I would hate being a living electricity conduit, like Cole in inFamous. Sure, I can electrocute mean people or infinitely charge my laptop or iPod, but I'd never be able to take a shower without killing myself.

I found the whole electrocuting himself in water thing to be a major flaw in the game. If anything water would just sap whatever charge he had. Cole is immune to channeling lightning through his body so why would it kill him in the water?

Well, I suppose Cole's ability is technically controllable. Just in theory, he can channel electricity whenever he wants, so he can swim as long as he doesn't charge anything. That still doesn't answer your question, and the best answer I have is "Technically, it wouldn't." I guess the designers didn't want another Altair.

Well I hope in the next game they just change it so that Cole can't use his powers in the water, that way if they don't want you somewhere they could just have enemies fire down at him and he would be defenseless.

 

[Ulixes Dimon]

that sounds like totalbiscuit. Bet its not, would be cool if it was though.
*dreams*

Anyway the power of invulnerability would be cool till you realise you could still get injured. Just not die.

Well it still beats dying! But that depends on the type of invulnerability. Usually if they can be hurt they get some kind of healing factor. And just plain being unharmable would be hilarious. You could jump on baddies from high places and well whatever you wanted to do as long as no one captures you.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

I say ANY power that couldn't be controlled, or at least dampened. That would be terrifying.

More or less.

Unless it comes with secondary benfits (control over fire, you also cannot get burned, etc), pretty uch nothing other than immortality.

 

[hermes]

Eternal life without eternal youth.

Sure, when you are in your 20s, its nice to know you can't be killed... by the time you reach the 200s, you will wish you could.

 

[FFHAuthor]

Good to see someone else than me thinking super speed sucks... Also you didn't mention any issues in the bed here..

I just thought I'd keep it above board. The joke would have been too easy to go for anyway. I mean, 'faster than a speeding bullet'? Come on.

 

[maxmanrules]

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

Dresden Files for the win

Excellent!

 

[kypsilon]

To be instantly transported to the very spot where a crime was being committed. Like quantum leap but every other minute. Sure you could do a lot of good, but...damn a guy needs to sleep! And eat! And...possibly other thing that could get awkward! >,>

 

[William Esty]

Immortality to the point of never dying period. Life would just get boring after a century or so. Plus it means you could never have a family knowing that you would sit there and watch them age and dye...

Exactly that.^ Your muscles, eyes and ears would deteriorate and you'd sort of be able to do.. nothing much...

I think that after I've done everything I can think of, (keep in mind, you really wouldn't need food or water), I'd probably just start doing random crap that would normally kill me, like jump off of a bridge.

 

[William Esty]

The laser eyes that the guy in X-men has.. It would be pretty annoying to have to wear those glasses all the time.. Say you sleep in a bed directly below Xaviers room and in the sleep you accidentally remove your glasses and a loud noise wakes you up.. You open your eyes and kill Xavier.. Great job!

And isn't there a girl that kills anything she touches in those movies..? That must be pretty lame too..

it wasnt laser eyes, it was focused blasts of concussive force, which is even worse.

erm, how was he even born.

Babies are born with their eyes closed.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Seaman..... what a lame ass super hero..... nuff said.

 

[Canid117]

I am pretty sure walking through a wall without the required secondary powers would mess with your brain chemistry and leave a vegetable.

I just thought I'd keep it above board. The joke would have been too easy to go for anyway. I mean, 'faster than a speeding bullet'? Come on.

For your enjoyment.

 

[Ldude893]

Shapeshifting.
I've seen enough media from Transformation fetishists to convince myself why it's not a good idea.

 

[A Curious Fellow]

The ability to make my penis any size I want. See, I know myself too well.

It would kill us all.
