Super powers

You can only choose one, and lets say whichever one you choose you have to live the rest of your life with.

I would pick the ability to regenerate lost limbs, making me virtually immortal. Don’t know if you played the game, but something like Albedo’s from Xenosaga or Wolverine's from X-Men.

I'd get the power to be impermeable to damage. It would mean I'd no longer have to fight in self defence. I could more easily be a shield for myself and others.
I'd hate to be immortal though...
That would stop being fun sooner or later.

psychokinesis. be able to fly with my mind, bend and move objects with my mind. I could also make myself more powerful by increasing my IQ and figuring out equations that would solve a lot of problems; that simple human minds couldn't fathom. Also, figure out the end of PI before the super computer >=D

I'd be immortal. Yes, *wrings hands menacingly* let us see Texas use the death penalty on me then! Hah! You fools! My level 5 immortallity beats your paltry little level 2 death penalty anyday! Now all your base truly does belongeth to me! *red eyes flash* *lightining strikes*

HAhahaaaha

Oh I'd have fun with it, you know. Kinda like how James Brown kept doing the splits to scare the kids.

I'd want to be telekenetic and have those powers.
The ability to move things with my mind, teleport lol and read peoples mind. How nifty would that be.

No, i'm not undressing you with the power of my mind -shifty eyes-

I would choose the ability to travel through time and control. I would just like to be able to go through time and see the facinating past first hand, like the middle ages and so forth, I would go and see how cavemen live. Live the life of a pirate. Whatever the hell I want.

I know you said choose one, but this is just another more realistic and not quite so over the top.

Immortality, because then I could witness first hand everything that unravels from the present day into the infinite future. Some people say that wouldn't want to live forever, but seriously I don't think I could do everything I want to do in even 10000 years and ny then there will be cooler stuff around and I'll be kept occupied for the next 10000 years.

Why is this realistic you ask?

One Word

Transhumanism

Complicated to explain so I might make a thread about it later.

Hana Hana no mi FTW!

...

Oh, right I forgot, I'm the only One Piece fanatic here

Well basically, I'd like the ability to limitlessly grow any part of my body on virtually any surface that could be then be dissipated at any time (complete with petal effect). Man the practical uses that has, as well as for combat...

For a more practical super power, I'd like to be able to fly, then I wouldn't have to be afraid of heights anymore.

I think I'd also like to go back in time. However, if there were a way I wouldn't mess everything up if I did, that would be cool. I don't want to control time, I just want to see different parts of history. Like... if I could be inside the body of a historical figure for a day. And I'd just watch. I guess that's not really a super power, though.

If not that... I suppose... some kind of psychic wave power would be cool. I could shield myself and others from harm, propel myself into the air and land safely... that kind of thing seems like something I would enjoy.

EDIT: I have another! Instead of the watching thing, I'd like to jump into stories and be those characters. Just to experience their stories for myself.

Yuki-onna · 10-16-2007, 09:23 AM

Shapeshifting, totally. I could be anything or anybody. O_O

I could...turn myself into Milla Jovovich...and...and...*drools*

Usagy · 10-19-2007, 04:22 AM

Whole invulnerable thingy including immortality yay. but mainly cause I like living too much

I wouldn't go rape people for fun with it....or maybe I'd slay all terrorists..just cause I can lol.

Peace out

The ability to turn other peoples' bones into table salt from quite a distance away. I took time to think it out, and this is my ideal power.

1: I have rendered the person immobile
2: They ARE GOING TO DIE
3: It's a relatively quick death...about 30 or so seconds, my guess
4: It's the most hellishly painful thing I can imagine

However, with this kind of murderous power, I guess I'd be classified as a villain. There's not really a way to use this power for good.

Albedo went crazy from his ability. Immortal + regenerating? Less attractive than you think. Immortal means you can't die, however, you can still be injured. There's also that boredom thing. When you have an infinite amount of time, all activities eventually become infinitely mundane. Regeneration is nice, but doesn't negate pain. Albedo, who was both immortal and regenerating, became a psychopath with self-mutilation as his favorite hobby. His favorite thing to do was cut off his own head and grow it back.

I would like to have the power to make anybody immortal, that could mean I could have my family and friends with me forever. That would have its advantages and disadvantages though like if the world ended, that would make things a bit complicated.

What about bringing anybody back from the dead? That would be rather interesting, you would be able to meet relatives from many years ago. You could even bring back dead celebrities, that would be pretty awesome lol.
