If you were to have a super power, what would it be.

Caveat: You cannot have a super power already identified in literature or entertainment. Be Creative


If I were to choose an already known Super-Power... It would be the power of flight.

For a yet unknown super-power... I'd find it cool to be able to 'feel' the ripples in the timeline (like receiving bits of a radio signal). The bigger the event, the bigger the ripple, , the clearer the image, the longer I could sense that something is about to happen, or that something has happened.

Flight or healing factor or TK or invis or telepathy or phasing or shapeshifting. With power TK/Telepathy you could do all of those though. :)


Light control. I think there's a superhero with that already, so not like Dagger (from the Cloak and Dagger duo) or that other guy. More like lasers and light sheilds and limited flight. It'd be sweet.

I already have superhuman powers of sarcasm.

I DO have a super power. I am "he who can reach high things for those not as tall as him."

In that case, continuous reincarnation. Failing that, the ability to manipulate gravity sounds handy.

I can OPEN PICKLE JARS!!!
Here, watch...thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!!!


Existing superhuman powers of organization and damage control. Secondary power: surviving experiences with the flaky, twitty, and the blonde.

Desired power: superhuman speed, so I can deal with the aforementioned people.


I would like the superpower of being novel and creative at will.

Limited reality manipulation. Specifically, inducing others to do errors/mistakes, fail, miss etc. at my will.

Mean, mean, mean. ;D

I wish I had a remote control that would make something good be on t.v.

To be able to ressurect two iconic industry magazines from the ashes of the digital initative.

To remake Epsiode 1 of the Star Wars Saga.

And to place 'the most popular roleplaying game in the world' in the hands of those more deserving .

And to transform all my clothes to Gucci, Tom Ford and Prada.


Can I choose the power to conjure pairs of gorgeous nymphomaniac twins at will? No?

Liberty's Edge

I wish that I could plant thoughts in people's heads. Sort of a limited mind control: I wouldn't be directly controlling them, but their actions would be indirectly influenced by my will.

Aw, DAMMIT...

For a new power never before created? Hmm...

How about the power to negate kinetic energy. Stuff would hit you and just stop. No damage to either object.

Car crash? Meh. Bullet? Yawn. Fall from a mile up? Fun!

I'd want vomit control powers. You could blow chunk, and make it take a humanoid form, and whup up on some ninjas. Then they'd blow chunk. Buncha sake and sushi. I'd make them animate into little monkey men, and keep whupping up on my foes. And they'd blow chunk, and I'd have an army of pukes.
AND if I ate some kryptonite first.....

I think the Black King from Marvel's Hellfire Society had that power but that 1 is little heard of enough that it could be considered 'unique'.

Phooey. Well, if you say it's okay, I'm inclined to go with your expert opinion. :)

Yup. So does Strong Guy/Guido from X-Factor, though his ability also caused him to become deformed if he didn't expend the energy quickly.

And the Black King's name is Sebastian Shaw, for the record. ;-)


Unfortunatly for them, they could all be overloaded with too much energy. Bishop from the X-Men also had the ability to absorb kinetic energy and use it to blast back at people. But he also liked his guns too.

Bishop doesn't absorb kinetic energy; if you hit him, he just gets a blackeye, he doesn't absorb anything. He absorbs energy blasts and all that jazz.

Or at lesat that's what he did back in the 90's.


Mind control. The energy I need to use my ability would require me to consume pizza and chocolate ice cream, so that the energy from the pizza wouldn't be converted to body fat, but would instead bring people to my bidding.

That would solve two problems (people not doing what I want, and keeping healthy) and satisfy my greatest urge (eating pizza and ice cream).


I'd go with the ability to implant subtle thoughts, so as to indirectly direct someone's actions and decisions. Oh wait! Mass marketing can already do that!
Kruelaid's got a pretty good idea there.

Dream Powers
the power to have whatever I draw come to life, and whatever I write come true/happen

Combat Powers

Practical powers
teleportation,aerokinesis
