Tenacity Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 This is a fun little topic that comes up in some of the other forums I frequent. Just for sake of discussion and entertainment, what superpower would you choose for yourself? How would you put it to use? Here's a reference site if you want some ideas for interesting or unorthodox powers: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Supernatural_Powers_and_Abilities My preferences have changed a lot over the years, but these days I'm fairly sure I'd go with Gravity Manipulation. For a single power set, it offers a huge amount of utility and potential: flight, strength, mobility, creating miniature black holes, or even distorting time.

Sazztam Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I used to think all sorts of super powers would be cool, but, when the rubber meets the road it has to be mind control. "Your name is Superman? Wonderful... go sit down and don't move...ever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkashae Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Is shapeshifting a superpower? I'd love to be able to change form to any creature the mind can conceive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethdil Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Mind control without a doubt. Not the flaky kind.. The kind of mind control like Matt Parkman from "Heroes" had. I want to be able to push my thoughts deep into someones brain and pull out whatever I want from their brain. I would be so evil with my power, "benefit to mankind" crap.

-psychonaut- Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'll have to go with mind control too, I want to have direct control over anyone's thoughts and actions. I'd use this power for good and bring some peace to the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacity Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Seems like mind control is popular. What if it only worked on the weak-willed though, like jedi mind tricks? Or if magneto's helmet existed? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerApple Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 After watching Jesscia Jones. Mine would be the ability to control mind. I simply whisper a command the person does it. Well that would be second. Living forever would be my first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkashae Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Why is the concept of controlling others so appealing? I chose shapeshifting - I wish to have more control over myself. I'd be able to explore the world, I'd be able to sneak around unnoticed, I'd be able to fly, I'd be able to live a simple life. I've got no need for minions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no need for minions Easily people try have others do what they want. Imagine how much easier life could would be with total control over people. No more asking just commanding and them doing whatever you want. You can't see the potential and appeal for this. I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirana Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Why is the concept of controlling others so appealing? Simple answer, because most people are weak minded. Toss in the fact that a lot of people have some sort of inferiority complex, it would only make sense for people wanting to control others. On topic: Flight.

Does yours also have the side effect that everyone ends up in a coma if they don't have a superpower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if no one else in the world expect you has a superpower. Mine as I mentioned "Mind Control" Life would be so much more easier when I just tell people what I want..Ice cream..a million dollars..etc a close second would be to live forever. I'm actually debating on those two on which I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
