Superpowers
Posted on March 4, 2008 - Filed Under Stuff I Want |
What superpower would you like and why? Initially I liked the idea of time travel, à la time gun, but then I gave the matter a little more thought and decided that ageless immortality would be infinitely better. So that’s what I’d choose.
What say you dear readers?

The powers of one of the Q race from star trek ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_Continuum )
But if I have to pick a less “unfair” power, I’ll go with shapeshifting a la Mystique of X-Men fame.
Flight.
’nuff said.
To know everything. ever. And the knowledge of what to share and how to share it obviously.
You really would want infinite knowledge? Wouldn’t that make everything kind of boring.
All your choices are flawed. Immortality would be inconvievably boring. You’d go insane. The Q powers are far too powerful, you would be alienated. Flight is a good one, but not incredibly useful. Infinite knowledge is hazy- if you know everything surely you can predict what will happen in the future so there is a terrible burden if you know what choices will result in.
I’d take the power to stop time. That or adamantium claws.
Flight isn’t useful?
What!?
And adamantium claws on your frame would be wasteful
If i could have any superpower it would be the USSR.
in soviet russia, Superpower has you!
wait…
Ageless immortality? Once the sun dies you’ll be alone in cold darkness for eternity. Godlike power or knowledge… whats left to do after the first nanosecond once you know/control everything?
Flight, claws of a fictional metal and Russia are all good choices but I’d go with telekinesis.
