  • If you could have one super power what would it be?

    I saw something today that got me thinking.
    I think I know what I would want mine to be, but boy would it unleash chaos on the world.

    The power to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich every time.

    Seriously, that's harder than it sounds.

      I already have enough super powers. Why be greedy and ask for more?

          I'm torn between selfish and selfless....

          Selfish: healing factor. Like almost anyone with a chronic health issue.

          Selfless: the ability to heal others. But subtly and quietly, so I didn't get mobbed for it. Sort of thing where I could just insinuate myself into a Medicins Sans Frontiers or Red Cross project, and just quietly ensure that the medications worked and infections healed up and so forth.
          Seshat's self-help guide:
          1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
          2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
          3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
          4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

            Invisibility.

            Soooooooo tired of being almost where I want to go and being asked for help by a customer. Or trying to do something only to have a vendor rep point me out and tell a customer "I don't work for the swamp, but he does. Maybe he can help you."

              Telekinesis.

              Especially being able to move multiple small things in addition to single larger things. Imagine being able to cut off blood flow until the target passes out, setting a bone with minimal discomfort to the target, throwing up a barrier to prevent things thrown or shot from reaching you, and pushing off the ground to float or fly.

Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

                I've always wanted to be able to make time stop whenever I fall asleep.

                All the sleep I want/need plus 24 hours in a day to get stuff done.

                  I've always wanted to fly, with wings, but I think for that I would have to have increased strength too. Imagine, not having to wait in traffic and flying as the crow flies straight to your destination?

                    Eat anything I want and not die/gain weight. Hey, got some toxic waste you need to get rid of? Bottomless Girl to the rescue! Just make sure there's enough Nutella to wash it down with!

                      Just give me Deadpools regen (Without the cancer part of course). Would be all I ever needed.

                        I would want Element Lad's ability to change anything into anything else, with the ability to see what the chemical makeup of what I'm changing is. Forget feeding the hazardous waste to Bottomless Girl, have me change it into something useful, like coal or something.

                          Invisibility.

                          Soooooooo tired of being almost where I want to go and being asked for help by a customer. Or trying to do something only to have a vendor rep point me out and tell a customer "I don't work for the swamp, but he does. Maybe he can help you."
                          You are far too nice. If I had invisibility, the first thing I'd think of is going into women's locker rooms.

                          Yes, I'm a horny guy. What of it? This is nothing new. And I'm not even talking about spying on people in the act on beaches, in pools, in hot tubs, or even in private. I'm not saying I'd invade someone's house to do this, mind you, but the possibilities for a voyeuristic perv are pretty wide open. Hell, why not walk right on to a adult film set?

                          Or how about screwing with a sporting event? "Johnson's back to pass....he zips one deep....Collins is open, with no defender near him......and somehow, the ball just flicks away from Collins. He looks bewildered! He can't believe what happened. Neither can Johnson. I won't lie to you folks, I'M not sure what just happened. It's as if the ball had a mind of it's own."

                          Then there's the potential for using the invisibility to listen in to various conversations, and on so many levels, this would be useful.

                          I wouldn't rob a bank or a store, but I can't say I wouldn't liberate some cash or valuables from some 1%ers.

                          Then there's the free air travel potential. If no one can see you, what is to stop you from walking through security at the airport, walking right on to a plane, and finding an empty seat, and heading wherever the hell you want to go?

                          Hiding from customers, at a job I'm known to be at and supposed to be at? Invisibility would only go so far.

                            Some days, invisibility.

                            Some days, flight.

                            Some days, super speed (like the Flash).

                            Some days, the ability to get a crowd of people to say something in unison.

                            Some days, telekinesis.

                            Some days, telepathy.

                            Some days, I'd love to have the power to make people realize how stupid they are.

                              When it comes to that Jester, there is a much more useful power then invisibility. Mind Control. Not only could you have people not notice you, by controlling their minds so they don't... do almost everything on your list.. but instead of chancing getting wanted by the cops when you rob somebody..just have them give it to you instead
