If you could choose a super power what would it be?

[Connonym]

I'd pick teleportation

[terrya]

1. Super strength.

[JackBeck]

2. I like that one.

But I'd pick invisibility.

'Cause then I can sneak into the Mets' locker room and watch David Wright take a shower.

[hfojvt]

8. the Greeks had a conundrum

about somebody who found a ring that could turn him invisible, and he used it for his own selfish gain. The consensus was 'who wouldn't?' The answer, many years later was, Bilbo Baggins, but my thinking was that it's hard to think of many socially useful things to do with invisibility and quite easy to think of many prurient uses.

[Momgonepostal]

3. The power to turn sand into $100 bills nt

[Phillycat]

4. Invisibility, of course.

Then you can do whatever you want.

[taterguy]

26. as long as you don't have to sneeze

[Mad_Dem_X]

49. That's my pick

You could really fuck with people; I'd have so much fun!

[ceile]

5. Telepathy.

I hate not knowing what people are thinking.

[montanto]

57. ew. I don't want to know what at many are thinking.

Think about it, can you turn it on and off?

[underpants]

6. USA! USA! USA!

Are there any other choices left?

[Connonym]

11. LOL

[Fleshdancer]

7. the ability to stop time

I would give anything for a pause button on life. Taking naps would be easier that way.

[Beausoleil]

9. Morphing, like Peter Griffin

[Little Wing]

10. Remote Kill

[hfojvt]

15. bah, anybody who practices their archery can do that

get the Ted Nugent DVD.

Now, if you want the power of wishing, why not make it constructive, ala Bastian in "The Neverending Story"? And in Neverending Story II, the ending is brilliant. Instead of killing or defeating the evil princess, he makes a different wish.

[Little Wing]

19. I mean really remote

like half-way around the planet.

[hfojvt]

22. like for somebody who is annoying you on the internets

yeah, I got that :hide:

That would be a "wishing" power. My point was why not wish for other things than just the death of an enemy?

[hfojvt]

12. Just one superpower? I'm already super-smart, super-nice, super-funny,

super-geeky (edit, let's just make that 'super' instead of 'spuer' although the original may have been funnier, albeit unintentionally so), super-honest, super-hardworking, and super-modest. I'm all that AND a bag of Doritos. Why would I want just ONE super-power?

[hfojvt]

13. This is not my fault. I'm not gonna name names, but

SOMEBODY stopped time while I was posting.

Plus, what I tell you three times is true.

[hfojvt]

14. Did I mention super-redundant?

and super-dsylexic? :blush:

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. Besides the ones I currently have, I'd choose teleportation too.

:rofl: :rofl: It saves a lot of time. :P

[hfojvt]

25. then you could pop over here

and slap me upside the head, quicker than posting a reply.
I'm like Dr. McCoy though, all that disassembling and re-assembling of my molecules would be kinda scary. What if something goes wrong, and you teleport yourself into a marble column or underwater? What if you teleport into an empty space, but an empty space that is about to be filled by a fast-moving, heavy object.
I am just reminded of the book "The Bad Place". The villain can teleport and take people with him. Plus, if he is wounded before teleporting, like by a gunshot in one case, he can fix himself upon reassembling. That seems logical, but the teleporting x-man could not do that.

[NewWaveChick1981]

37. My kind of teleportation would be akin to I Dream of Jeannie rather than

Star Trek. :rofl: And it's for all the same reasons you listed. At least with the I Dream of Jeannie teleportation, you could pop in and pop out without any of that other scientific BS. :rofl: :D :P

[Beer Snob-50]

53. would you have to wear the i dream of jeannie

outfit also? just curious?

[NewWaveChick1981]

55. Probably so.

:P :rofl: :hi:

[Beer Snob-50]

66. i look forward to it.

[BarenakedLady]

17. You took my answer.

[BlueIris]

18. Long-range listening skills.

I'm a biiiiiig eavesdropper.

[SPKrazy]

20. Teleportation Would Be Cool

mind control would be another

[Call Me Wesley]

21. Remote teleportation

aka 'Matter transmisson.' Could be fun!

[Goblinmonger]

23. Mind-bullets

Duh.

[SPKrazy]

29. Cool!

:shrug:

[Ariana Celeste]

24. Invisibility.

:D

[Hugin]

27. I'd choose the power to be able to use a super power of others...

for a short while after I had been around them.

[Phillycat]

64. So, Rogue, then.

[Hugin]

68. Well, more like SpongeBob...

But, you get the general idea.

[Phillycat]

69. SpongeBob can do that? I've never seen that show.

But I know the theme song because various kidlets in my life sing it all the time!

[Connonym]

79. Or Peter Petrelli

I've become a huge Heroes freak.

[datasuspect]

28. the ability to stop time

and keep everyone in suspended animation while i move around.

[BarenakedLady]

50. Now that?

Is a very very scary thought. :scared:

[BreweryYardRat]

58. I've got whoever that was on ignore. What'd he/she say?

[BarenakedLady]

62. If you have him on ignore...

Why would you care. :shrug:

[BreweryYardRat]

71. Idle curiosity. Because we're talking superpowers and I'm a geek.

Answer your question? :)

[LSK]

74. that would be nice

[ghostsofgiants]

30. ...

[billyskank]

31. I'd fly like Superman

I'd use it to fly over to see FedUpWithItAll every day. :)

[FedUpWithIt All]

32. LOL!

wouldn't it be easier to move here? ;)

:*

[billyskank]

33. Not if I could fly like Superman

:D

:*

[billyskank]

35. Moving is for people who can't fly like Superman

;)

[BarenakedLady]

65. Wouldn't be teleportation be faster

And you wouldn't show up at her house with bugs in your teeth. :)

[FedUpWithIt All]

34. I think i would like to be able to heal...

emotional and physical.

[billyskank]

36. There would be much work for you to do

:hug:

[fizzgig]

38. teleportation would be cool

as would the ability to pause time but i would really love pyrokenisis, that way i wouldn't have to get up to set people on fire

[billyskank]

39. remind me not to piss you off

;)

[fizzgig]

43. i don't think i could light you on fire

but it's best to be safe

;)

[billyskank]

44. i'll wear my flame-retardant undies then

just in case. :D

[Broken_Hero]

40. immortality?

Is that a super power....hmm, a very HIGH level of constititution....I would love to see how this life thing, pans out in the end...

[bif]

41. Being able to see through clothes.

I'm really a ten year old at heart.

[NewJeffCT]

42. super-stretching, like Mr. Fantastic and Plastic Man

I would think guys like that are a hit with the ladies, no?

Or, the guys, if one was gay.

[Norwood]

45. Teleportation!

Either that or telekinesis

[Evoman]

46. Um..DUH! A little superpower called "The Power Cosmic"

Like Silver Surfer. Then you could fly at faster than light speed, shoot rays at people, heal people, and be basically immortal. Why would I teleport when I can fly to anyplace on Earth in less than a second?

[hfojvt]

63. plus the flying surfboard is really cool

I'm not sure it's really fair to call that 'one' superpower though since it's quite omnibus.

[Spirochete]

47. Total healing n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

48. The power to make people stop being stupid

:bounce:

[Mad_Dem_X]

51. You'd be really busy, then!

:P

[BarenakedLady]

52. Then who would I have to mock and laugh at?

Where's the fun in that? ;)

[grace0418]

54. Forget invisibility, I'd want to be completely undetectable. No one could

see me, hear me, feel me, smell me. I wouldn't have to open and close doors. I could just slip in and out of rooms and onto airplanes, etc. Believe me, the first place I'd head is Washington D.C. and sort out the mess in the White House.

Then I'd take a little detour to Ewan McGregor's house. ;)

[BreweryYardRat]

56. Active or passive power?

Seriously, you want that particular power to be something you can turn on and off at will.

[grace0418]

61. I'd like to be able to turn it on and off at will, of course.

There are definitely times when I would want to be seen, heard, felt, etc.

Especially when I get to Mr. McGregor's house. ;)

[BreweryYardRat]

59. Shapeshifting.

If you get creative with that, there's a lot of nasty tricks you can do.

[Blue-Jay]

60. Shape-shifting if I was a villain.

If I was a hero, I'd probably rather be able to fly. Super strength is great, but flying is more fun.

[hfojvt]

67. Bah, Hulk does not need it

because Hulk can jump for miles! What good is flying if you will just get your a$$ kicked if you land and try to do anything? If you lack the strength to carry anybody? Did the ability to fly ever do any good for Arthur Dent? Okay, it did save his life a couple times and maybe even got him some nookie.

Reminds me of a story.

A man was hang-gliding over an isolated rural area when he is spotted by a couple of hunters. One raises his gun - BLAM! BLAM!
The other one says "What the heck was that?"
The first replies "I have no idea, but I sure made it drop that man it was carrying."

[Blue-Jay]

76. Yeah, but he causes giant craters every place he lands.

I just want to be able to fly to Maui whenever I get the notion. Maybe I can be a courier of donated body parts to make some money. Not much of a "hero" I suppose, unless you're waiting for that heart transplant.

[Midlodemocrat]

70. I wanna be like Samantha in Bewitched.

*twitch* clean house
*twitch* work done, desk cleared.
*twitch* grocery shopping accomplished, dinner cooked.

And screw that whole 'we have to live like mortals' crap. I would SO be into being witchlike.

[VelmaD]

72. teleportation...

but not just of myself...of anything I wanted from or to anywhere I wanted. Would make it a lot less sad to have the people I love so far away. :)

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

73. I'm late, all the good powers are taken ..so

I'll settle for the ability to eat more hotdogs faster than Kobayashi.

But I stand in awe of the rest of y'all's powers.

[Little Wing]

75. I've changed my mind

It's now "Banging Paula Abdul"

[sakabatou]

77. Elemental control

[Jimbo S]

78. "If I could be invisible..."

[WillParkinson]

80. Psychometry

Psychometry is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a psychic holds an object in his or her hands in order to obtain information about the object or its owner.

I'd like to be able to know things about people from objects they've touched.

[madeline_con]

81. Eyes that can burn DUH-bya when I see him on TV. n/t

[swag]

82. Vaughan's heavy groin.

[swag]

83. One might ask why one would bother to edit a reply such as this.

[gemdem]

84. Super powers not withstanding

Would I have to wear the skintight underoos like the other superheros? Just checking.

[BlueStorm]

85. I have mentioned this before...

The ability to control the weather as well as control the currents of the waterways, Great Lakes and the oceans.

The ability to psionically control the Internet, hack into any website, server or government computer etc.

The ability to psionically influence peoples' politics.

Blue
