If you could have one superpower...

#1 Post by Senor Matt » Sat Nov 06, 2004 9:20 pm

Ok, I think it's time for another fun quasi-psychological question that hopefully everyone will answer, thus making for some more fun discussion on here.

If you could have one superpower, like say, the ability to fly, or turn invisible, or be super strong, or throw fireballs, what would you pick? But bear in mind that you can only have one, and you can't say something like "I would have all of Superman's powers" because he has more than one power. Just one power here people! And once you have picked your superpower you also have to explain why you picked it and/or what you would do with it.


As for me, I would probably pick super speed, because there would be all kinds of practical things I could do with that. I'd never have to worry about my long commute to work again for one thing. And I could easily do eight hours worth of work in just a few minutes, thus giving me a lot more free time. Plus I could travel to anywhere in the world whenever I wanted to, without ever having to pay for a plane ticket or anything. And last but not least, if I ever had to fight someone else with a superpower I could probably beat them easily as I'd just be too fast for them to hit me. ;)

So that's it for me superpeople, let the superdreaming begin!

All of Batman's superpowers. :lol ;)

Slow Motion would be a must. Like say someone swang a punch at you, you could slow it down and duck, than punch them, and since it's super slow you're punch will be much more powerful.

I would like a superpower like Restore power. Because sometimes I regret what I am saying here and what I do in my real live. :D

The ability to defy or control gravity. Would come in handy in a fight, such as being able to run up a wall, push off it and kick/strike an opponent with greater force than normally possible.

Clearing high-jumps wouldn't be a problem, either. :D

The power of creating great games, of course!

Otherwise, instant teleportation would come pretty useful too.

The ability to control time! It has infinite possibilites.

You could do ANYTHING you wanted and if it went wrong go back and try a different way etc thats just a taste of what you could do with that power!!

Hmmm, some of you have come up with some really good ones. Especially the controling gravity and time ones. Maybe I should think of changing mine...

oh, come one man. everyone here knows that you couldn't be serious. How could someone who doesn't even know how to spell inhabit enslave the world?

and i'm surprised no one has said this: The power to understand the greatest mystery this universe has to offer: women.

Hmmm... the power of 'suggestion'.

Anyone remember a DC character called Jamm (or something like that) who had 'suggestive' power. Man... he loved making girls strip with just a suggestion. :p

I want the superpower to be able to wear a cape, and my underpants over my pants, AND not have Carson show up at my house.

I'd like to have a two-way Babelfish. That way, not only could I understand everybody, but I could also speak with them.

Or a Universal Communicator/Translator like in Star Trek!!

Invisibility... no question. On it's own, it may not be the most impressive of superpowers, but combined with a little intelligence and a quiet pair of shoes, it could definitely come in very handy. :)
