I’d take Wolverine’s healing powers. I have a few chronic injuries that I wrestle with, and it would be amazing to be free of pain. I’d also be able to be reckless again like I was when I sustained said injuries. It would also be pretty cool to smoke cigars, inhaling them the whole time, eat 10 pounds of bacon each week, and other generally deadly behaviors that could be quite enjoyable.
Probably, like Deadpool, your injuries would keep regenerating back to their current state.
If that happens to me, I’m coming for you, for cursing me!
The older people are, the more they will appreciate that.
Geass from Lelouch.
The ability to stop time and still interact with the world. Do you know how many books I have on my TBR?
Time stop can also be used for bad things like r**e and murder
I mean, it can? Feel like most super powers can be used for bad things. That’s where all of the good guys get bad guys to fight.
Ok, but you still can age? so imagine being much older than your peers, they’ll think you’re sick …lol
Hey…TommmmmmHOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU???
What?
You were 25 about 30 minutes ago…now you look 92. What the fuck…
Oh, yeah. That. I was just, ya know…jackin it.
Jesus Tom!!! How hard did you nut!!!
Wouldn’t you still age if you’re operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you’re suddenly aging rapidly.
Please don’t poke holes into my fantasy.
Haha! Fair enough. It’s your fantasy, so you determine the physics of it.
I want the blink ability from the Dishonored video games. Basically a line of sight teleport but still it’s awesome in the games.
I was going to say teleportation as in Jumper but going instantly to a place outside your field of view seems like trouble waiting to happen. Blink is already good enough.
Id personally choose power mimicry (the version where you just have to see a person using a power once and can just mimic it at any time) then I’d just build my set of powers
Does that mean other people in this hypothetical world have superpowers as well?
So… There are no other people to observe with super powers…
He could mimic Elon Musk and become a supervillain.
You mean an arrogant loser with terrible vehicle design skills?
He could steal his banger dance moves.
The power gauntlet from avengers. Altering the very fabric of reality ? Heck yeah, sign me in. Here we go for my big tiddy goth catgirls harem fantasy, enjoy the ride. (Pun very much intended)
I would appreciate an invite
Are you willing to be one of the big tiddie goth catgirls? I ask fully aware that a LOT of people would say yes.
Its a sacrifice I’m willing to make
(I’m a 6’2 hairy brown man)
If they want a little variety, I’m a 6’2 hairy white man.
This is getting promising now
It will be here in a snap
But what will it cost you?
Everything, and it will be worth it.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
As an introvert a Bard loaded with charisma looks like a nice superpower to have, can’t be more fictional than that.
all fun and games until you accidentally cast viscous mockery while teasing your pals
Imagine dating: roll for seduction.
Nat 20, congrats you’re now married.
Easy life.
Feruchemy
Not Allomancy? Being a full Mistborn would be cool, but I’d take being a coin shot.
Hemalurgy is right out of course. Really don’t want spikes sticking in me anywhere.
The immortality of Dorian Gray. Got to have that opt out of life.
I don’t think someone could live forever and not decide that humanity isn’t worth it and should perish at some point…
My other concern is at what point do you withdraw from society because your age doesn’t match your appearance?
Imagine going to get a passport or driver’s license and saying I was born in 1895 but my face says I was born in 1985.
Nah, you go for sheer fame with VERY public displays. Refuge in audacity to make it COMPLETELY clear you can not die so if you suddenly “go missing”, then government clearly took you to experiment
Either Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones, or if I can cheat a little, Legion’s powers in Legion on FX. He sort of has multiple but they can all basically be chalked up to “mind powers” if we’re being loose with it.
For the record I’m not saying I want to be like Killgrave, he’s a disgusting small monster, but… his abilities are insane. Hard to resist something like that.
Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones
That’s #1 for me.
#2 is the Infinity Gauntlet.
I thought Killgrave was extra disturbing because you know that’s exactly how someone with that power would become.
Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just… Accidentally.
You get frustrated, yell “Shut up!” at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.
couldn’t you just say “you are immune to my powers”?
Simple, I choose EveryMan’s superpower from The Simpsons
God’s omnipotence, from the Bible.
And if that’s not ok, then Avatar bending powers.
You couldn’t find a more contradictory mythos if you tried, lol.
God is omnipotent? Well…that explains why Mary was still a virgin.
From Star Trek TNG, I would pick Q’s power
Fuck ya, best choice so far.
Congratulations, you’re now a great trumpet player.
Use 100% of my human brain capacity, instead of this stupid 2% that we have now
Seizureman
Yea thats not how it works.
I know, the movie Lucy was based on pseudoscience…
So your superpower is Epilepsy?
Magic mushrooms. You’ll understand why you gotta cool down.
Hammerspace.
Be able to pull out whatever I happen to need at the time from out of nowhere.
…do you ever need an RKO?
A coworker claimed recently that I have that superpower, provided that its limited to networking hardware.
I always cary an obscene amount of spares with me during field work, and this has come in handy a lot. This has come to the point where other departments can ask me if I can fix X Y Z for them, and I have the hard2are with me to solve the issue.
“Payable in beer and blue cheese” is my usual responsibility.
