Super Power
 
If you could have one super power what would it be???


Mine would be invisibility

Shawnee123 01-24-2009 09:59 AM

Flying.

morethanpretty 01-24-2009 10:28 AM

Photosynthesis

smoothmoniker 01-24-2009 11:32 AM

to be eternally 25, but with increasing wisdom.

lumberjim 01-24-2009 11:47 AM

this thread's been done a time or two, but it's a fun one.....

i kind of liked the premise of that movie....Jumper. teleporting would be damned handy. i'd save on gas, and get more sleep~!


i could visit all the dwellars around the globe, too.

Sperlock 01-24-2009 11:57 AM

I'd go for the teleportation over flying. I wouldn't have to worry about being shot down by some idiot, among other things, yet still get to where I want to go.

wood*nymph 01-24-2009 02:41 PM

Telepathy, being able to decide to listen to people's innermost thoughts. (of course I'd want to be able to shut my power off from time to time so I can sleep and whatnot)

SteveDallas 01-24-2009 02:43 PM

Hearing people's thoughts

capnhowdy 01-24-2009 02:47 PM

I avoid anything with a "super" prefix.....

wolf 01-24-2009 02:50 PM

I'll stick with these:

I could really use the chocolate one right now. It's that time.

KinkyVixen 01-24-2009 07:55 PM

I thought you wanted to hear people's thoughts? Which i still maintain is a bad idea...for you too SD.
I still say mine is being able to control time. Take it back, make it stop, be in two places at one time, skip ahead, etc. That's the kind of power I want.
:p

Sundae 01-25-2009 05:08 AM

Still teleporting.
Now for really simple things like not having to pay travel fares. I could spend the next week in the British Museum for example, without having to pay £20 a time for the journey to London.

Invisibilty is tempting, but I would only use it for nefarious purposes, like spying and theft. Not good for me or for society.

Shawnee123 01-25-2009 08:55 AM

I wouldn't want to be invisible, or be able to read thoughts and the like, because then I would find myself catching people talking about me and would get depressed and probably eventually move to a remote cabin in Wyoming or something equally dreary.

I still pick flying over teleporting because to me it's not about where you end up, it's about how you get there.

Pico and ME 01-25-2009 09:02 AM

I like the idea of teleporting. Thats true freedom. I love to travel but hardly get too because of finances. Just think, I could jump to Rome for a day of exploring, go back home to shower and change and then jump to Paris for the night life.

Undertoad 01-25-2009 10:37 AM

To stop time except for yourself, now that is the one true power.

Sundae 01-25-2009 10:41 AM

You need a Timne Turner UT.
I want one too. I want to be able to have a lovely kip when I'm tired, and wake up to find the world hasn't moved on.

Hang on, I think I just want to be Bagpuss.

Bagpuss gave a big yawn, and settled down to sleep
And of course when Bagpuss goes to sleep, all his friends go to sleep too
The mice were ornaments on the mouse-organ
Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls
And Professor Yaffle was a carved wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker
Even Bagpuss himself once he was asleep was just an old, saggy cloth cat
Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams
But Emily loved him

TheMercenary 01-26-2009 12:36 PM

Time Traveler, with precise control.

I have to go with that, as well. Kind of like the old movie The Girl, The Gold Watch and Everything. Anyone remember that one?

I'd stop time and make them finally draw my damn PowerBall numbers!!!:D

capnhowdy 01-26-2009 03:52 PM

And keep rewinding to the beginning of the orgasm.

TheMercenary 01-26-2009 06:05 PM

Ok, how about controlled and graduated X-ray vision. You could be a walking medical breakthrough.

Shawnee123 01-26-2009 06:08 PM

All you time travelling advocates are like the worst geeks EVAH.

Everyone knows that when travelling time there is one rule: you cannot change anything. You can even try, but it's impossible because it's already happened even though it hasn't already happened. Something like that.

Or at least that's what they said on Lost.

Hahaha. Oh bless you, that really made me laugh. I'll go further it made rofl, out loud and on the floor!

Kaliayev 01-27-2009 08:33 AM

"The Power of the Heart"

I just wanna see what someone could do with the lamest power in existence.

Kaliayev 01-27-2009 12:41 PM

"The power of the heart"

I just want to see what is possible with the lamest power ever concieved of.

monster 01-27-2009 04:51 PM

I'm contemplating the benefits of the power not to hear other's thought, but to make them hear yours....as their own......

Flint 01-27-2009 05:05 PM

Whatever the deal is with Peter North.

fargon 01-27-2009 05:19 PM

I want super FART POWER, I want to be Fart man.

Wait I already am.:whofart: :shock:

capnhowdy 01-27-2009 07:36 PM

Or to be able to not hit the rim with the last three drops.

Whaaaaa? - everyone in the world thinking I am as pathetic as I do?!?!?!
Okay, might work better for a bossy bitch ;)

Sheldonrs 01-28-2009 09:26 AM

Either flying or mind control. Oh, yes. Matt Damon WILL be mine!

Muahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!

No, silly. Stuff like "I really want to give all my chocolates to monster...."

Sundae 01-29-2009 10:03 AM

You can have mine.
Honest.
I'll save up every choc I'm offered during Lent and send to you.

Except that I only really associate with family, who know I don't really do sweet things ;) They hide the Stella and the cheese though!

Radar 01-29-2009 01:23 PM

I guess if I had a super power it would be the ability that Adam or Claire have on Heroes. The ability to completely heal and regenerate from any harm that comes to me. Lose an arm, abracadabra it grows back.

The side-effect to this regeneration was immortality and perpetual youth.

This would give me the kind of time I would want to read every book, learn every language, hear every song, try every job, learn how to play any instrument, go to every place, experience every culture, try every food, etc.

Cicero 01-29-2009 01:38 PM

My super-power? I would rearrange all of tw and lumberjim's posts....randomly....lol! Yes!!

And watch your children and grandchildren grow old and die. Watch humanity die and go extinct. Watch the sun burn out and the Earth turn into a cold stone. But you are still young and will never die, wandering around in the dark alone. Do you really want that?

I don't care to be immortal. Give me superman's power's and I'll be all set. Bullet proof, fly, x-ray vision. Yeah baby.

Radar 01-29-2009 03:39 PM

One would assume with genetics my kids would inherit my powers. I might have to watch wife after wife die. I'd still be able to die. In the show, if something is stuck in your brain you stay dead until it's taken out. I could shoot a bullet into my brain and if nobody took it out, I'd be dead forever.

Oh, OK. That would work then. Good power. I'd take it.

capnhowdy 01-29-2009 05:48 PM

Until it was time to shoot a bullet into your brain.
