[Anteater]

The power to steal another person's super power and add it to my collection.

Maybe you already have this power

[Box of Bunnies]

Shapeshifting. Be short, tall, male, female, whatever you feel like that day. Plus intimate, hands-on access to whatever body you want.

[Inversive]

The power to steal another person's super power and add it to my collection.

Misfits?

[wondermega]

Also manipulating time is freaking scary. Too much potential to fuck stuff up. What if time freezing is not you holding time but rather you shutting off the switch? What happens when you die and everyone's frozen forever? That's pretty fucked up.

yeah, but they would never know, so it wouldn't really matter as much.. right?

Put me down for the flying camp. I've had plenty of flying dreams in my life (well, jumping realllly realllly high and just bounding really far) and it felt very awesome.

On that note, when I was a kid I had 2 more super hero dreams:

1. I had the ability to make potatoes appear out of thin air (usually on top of barrels)

2. I was Spidey with the blacksuit. But it didn't like me and was always running away from me, and I was mostly powerless without it.

[Idde]

I wonder what the best way would be to go about having super powers. Constantly being on your guard when using your powers seems incredibly frustrating, but getting out in the open might get you dissected.

I'd get teleportation. Teleport into the White House and say: Yo, Barack. Give me a great paying job, and you can do non-harmful tests on me, and dissect me when I'm dead. Get one scalpel near me when I'm alive, and I'll vanish. And throw a pie in your face when you least expect it. On national television.

That's about the most heinous terrorist act I'm willing to commit. But you'd be such a valuable and flexible asset, and a huge possible threat, that I'd think they might keep you around.

Teleportation, though limited, has pretty limitless possibilities. You could be a rescue worker, a master assassin, a war photographer, a great pizza delivery boy. "Yeah, two pizza hawaii? Sure, be there in two seconds. Where do you want them delivered? Tokio, sure. No problem."

[wondermega]

This is why I would not want teleportation. Ever.

Warning, disturbing

[ryan13ts]

Molecular Manipulation. Seriously, you'd be like a god with that kind of ability.

edit: Or Spatial Displation, kinda like Law from One Piece. Unusual abilities are always cooler than the typical super strength or flight answers

[Black_Stride]

Bone claws [IMG]http://whoaskedyoushow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/wolverine_bone_claws.jpg[/IMG

Without, a healing factor and a high tolerance to pain this power would be pretty fucked up.

Speed force

SPEEDFORCE FOR LIFE!

Speed Force rules everything.....heck the SpeedForce might as well be called Reality warping as well, its the SpeedForce that caused Flashpoint, its the SpeedForce that rebooted the DC universe, in the DC universe i think SpeedForce is the most powerful psuperpower next to Captain Atom.

Which brings me to my choice if not the SpeedForce.

Burnt Offering Cable - I absolutely loved his powers during this arc + All his Tech and I am set


X-Man - He's cable without the sickness so hell yeah.


New 52 Captain Atom - We havent fully seen his strength, but we have seen his future selves and they are crazy.


The Silver Surfer - The only reason he isnt my first vote is because i dont want the silver skin(which is part of his power)

[Jay Sosa]

Flying!

What I'd do with it? No idea.

[MarkMclovin]

Flying is a really cool power. I know most people would love to fly. The problem is how you would benefit from it. Flying is pretty much just something you would do to entertain yourself or travel. But unless you want to expose your power to the rest of the world, you can't use it discreetly for money or pleasure. Mind control, super speed, teleportation, telekinesis, and many other powers would allow you(if you wanted to use them for that purpose) to really benefit yourself in life without exposing your powers to the rest of the world. Flying will not.

Thats where you and I differ. Although flying was the first thing that came to me, I didn't once think of the benefit I could get out of it apart from travel and fun. But if I had the power and the world knew about it, I'm sure I'd benefit in many other ways too, including financial, fame among others.

Thinking about it now, if you had the power of telekinesis/mind control, you may be exposing yourself to becoming an evil fucker, especially when you want to use that power for financial gain. Secondly, how would use use that power (or most powers even) for financial gain, descretly? If you were to rob a bank, how would you teleport into the vault, without knowing what you are teleporting into? You could teleport into a brick wall.

I'm pretty sure that no matter what the super power is, it will have some sort of downside to it, depending on what you decide to use it for.

[Jay Sosa]

Maybe you already have this power

Nice

[Crunched]

Flying would be the bee's knees.

Teleportation would be the cat's meow.

[Big-E]

Super strength. Can hide this if need be and could be an unstoppable tackle in the NFL.

[MrBig]

The ability to control atomic particles. Would have no more material needs and everlasting health/life. Any problem can be solved given time and the experience that comes with having infinite time.

[Mista Koo]

Since teleportation was said multiple times and immunity sounds boring I'll choose:

Sharingan DX*

Eyes with the ability to learn anything by seeing it done. Wanna be an artist? Wanna be a dancer? Wanna be a magician? Just watch them do it.
Although I'd improve it by adding some reading and comprehension abilites making you understand and learn any written thing by just glancing at it.

*Deluxe version has no weaknesses and doesn't make the world revolve around you.

Although Being super flexible and in control of your body (lenghten your arms/become a slime etc) would be fun too.

[Rice-Eater]

Super strength. Can hide this if need be and could be an unstoppable tackle in the NFL.

The problem with this is that you'd have to look the part. Whether you're 6'5 290 pounds of mostly muscle or 5'8 and a skinny 140, you'd still be ridiculously strong compared to the rest of us. So it would look extremely fishing if a short scrawny guy was blowing away gigantic linemen like they were small children. If you're already that size, problem solved. If not, you'd have to figure out how else to use your super strength unless you didn't mind exposing yourself to the rest of the world.

[Scrow]

that's not how i imagine teleportation would work.

my idea is that when you teleport into a new space everything in it is vaporised to make room for you.

Taskmasters ability....watch anything and be able to replicate it.....watch it in fast forward and be able to do it in fast forward.

Heck Taskmaster can do everything all the street level superheroes: DareDevil, Captain America, Spiderman, Bullseye, HawkEye, IronFist, Elektra, Spider-man, Silver Samurai, Wolverine and a whole bunch of other supers.

So yeah Taskmaster is a badass....i just wish he got another solo run like he did with UDON.

[EVIL]

hmm, could have one superpower, I think i'lll taaakee.. USA

[Avixph]

cartoon physics.

[UnluckyKate]

Teleportation of super fast flight ala superman. I'm so lazy this would be so fun and helpfull

[Mista Koo]

Ok seems like the sharingan too was taken (although it's more appealing when I think of Taskmaster rather than the Uchihas). So insted I'll take:

Undo
At any part of your life you can undo something you've done. Any decision you made or event that you were responsible for at any point of your life can be undone, big or small. You won't return to that point but your previous life will change to reflect on that.

What would you learn? How would you use your knowledge?

Everything I currently want to and more. I'd only use it for my own good of course :B
Maybe when I'm bored I'll try to solve the world problems.

that's not how i imagine teleportation would work. my idea is that when you teleport into a new space everything in it is vaporised to make room for you.

Tear apart historical/huge buildings making them collapse on everyone? Rip a pregenant woman's belly apart and appear in place of the fetus?

Really, though, I'd like something that would allow me to eventually bring humanity together, stop the petty squabbling, and actually accomplish things as a coordinated species. It'd end up being almost trivial to cure all disease and prevent a whole lot of suffering, grasp unlimited technological advancement and explore the stars. To get there: super-genius would turn you super-autistic, precognition would make the entirety of life a puzzle rather than something that could actually be experienced and enjoyed, mind control is sort of cheating since you're dehumanizing everyone you touch (which runs contrary to a humanistic goal)...but maybe that's unavoidable to some degree. Control key political figures only, at least, and you don't need to turn the masses into robots without free will. United and motivated, we could accomplish almost anything, and sufficient technological advancement would render many superpowers irrelevant anyway.

You're too nice. If I was offered a super power I'll only think of myself.

[BGBW]

Gender swap, so you can experience the best of both worlds.

Water manipulation, because on Earth it is truly OP.

The power of disco and karaoke because who doesn't want to be the King of Parties.

[Pizza Luigi]

I want to be able to morph my face into a different face anytime I would like

[Scrow]

Tear apart historical/huge buildings making them collapse on everyone? Rip a pregenant woman's belly apart and appear in place of the fetus?

i never said i gave a shit about anything or anyone :P

but seriously, i imagine the ability would come with some sort of positional awareness or perhaps you have to see where you're teleporting to, like nightcrawler.

personally i'd like it to be a form of teleportation that doesn't require line-of-sight. to stop yourself from teleporting into things and destroying them, there's a kind of mental "prep time" before teleporting where your "remote-spatial-sense" determines if where you're teleporting to has solid matter in its space. If there is, you can feel/sense the obstruction and choose whether to teleport or not.

[highluxury]

Getting an erection by snapping my fingers.

Oh yeah.

[JGS]

Assuming we're picking one discrete power (unlike say, Peter's power from Heroes) Nightcrawler-style teleportation.

I was about to say Jumper made me wabnt teleportation more than flying which seems to have several negatives.

[keyboardcat]

Getting an erection by snapping my fingers. Oh yeah.

[Stat Flow]

[KevinCow]

In terms of transportation:

Teleporting: Might teleport into something.

Flying: Might lose consciousness and fall to your death.

Super strength Hulk jumping: Way more awesome and less dangerous (well, to you).

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I would have the power to know precisely how much tomato sauce to put on my plate so that I have exactly enough for my chips, without having to drench the last few chips in sauce so there's no wastage.

I've never seen rape put in such a positive light.

It's not like that's all you can use it for. You could pretty much fix the justice system by compelling suspects to tell the truth relating to their cases.

[lacinius]

The ability to fly... that's it, nothing fancy, just soar around in the sky.

[SuperEpicMan]

ABSORB!

[mug]

I can't decide whether to have the gift of flight or the ability to change forms into any person.

[BGBW]

In terms of transportation: Teleporting: Might teleport into something. Flying: Might lose consciousness and fall to your death. Super strength Hulk jumping: Way more awesome and less dangerous (well, to you).

There's also super speed and stoping time and walking to your destination "in zero seconds'.

Or you could take the SUPER bus.

[FairyD]

Some sort of psychic-matter-reality-warping power. Basically free-will in the sense that anything I can think of can come true.

[Beaniedude]

Well ignoring the only reason I would get superstrength or superspeed or any other absurdly broken power is so I could go around and supply the world with infinite energy.
Seriously, why don't Superman or the Flash just end a lot of problems in the world by making FREE ENERGY for all.
But if I wanted a superpower for personal use I would definitely go with airbending. It combines ease of transport with super cool acrobatics.
What's not to love about that?

[JGS]

That bad science site has ruined me on super strength. in order to be as strong as Hilk you would have to be the ginormus blob of muscle.

There is a charcter in Marvel called Gladiator that appeared to be super strong but used telekinetics. Maybe that's the route I'd go.

[mclaren777]

Magneto's control over metal and all that other stuff he does.

Another vote for Magneto.

[shinobi602]

Invulnerability (can't get hurt).

[Hot Coldman]

Gee, I dunno. I'd like a superpower, but picking would be weirder. So long as it's not something lame and useless (like Meg Griffin's fingernail growing power) I'm down. Choosing between flight, invisibility, etc seems like some Sophie's Choice shit that I can't be dealing with. Let me just roll around in toxic waste and let nature take its course.

[Andrex]

Gravity Manipulation.

Can be used to fly, to push attackers away, to save people from fallng to their deaths, stop cars from crashing, etc. Plus I would have a blast bungee jumping without a bungee cord. :P

Teleportation would be my second choice. It'd be number one for me, however it's kind of a selfish power and can't help that many people.

Cyberpathy would be my third choice. It's super selfish, but I would love to be able to intrinsically browse GAF anywhere I am without anyone else knowing about it. Thanks to Google Glasses this one is actually somewhat close to being attainable in my lifetime. :P

[runningjoke]

The ability to barge into every meeting or conversation at the right time to yell "THAT'S BULLSHIT!" and then fly to the next one.

[SoulClap]

Telepathy. Although I might drive myself crazy reading peoples mind and finding out their darkest secrets.

[shinobi602]

I wouldn't trust myself with invisibility.

Oogling sexy women, walking into banks and leaving a rich man, traveling whereever you want for free...the possibilities...

[SuperEpicMan]

There's also super speed and stoping time and walking to your destination "in zero seconds'. Or you could take the SUPER bus.

I always thought that running super fast would be the same as normal running, wouldn't your perception of time slow down so that even though you are running super fast, it feels like you are running at a normal speed and what is actually taking you a second to get from A to B feels like the actual time it would take a normal person to run it.

I suppose the advantage would be saving actual time and not make your perceived journey times shorter. So in that case I would rather just be able control time all together, that way you would get the outcome of being able to run super fast, but without actually having to run to experience it. It would be handy for being able to stop time and revise during exams for each question.

For a different power I would want some kind of memory manipulation, where I have the power to remember everything I see and read, but also the choice to completely or temporarily forget things if I need to (incase I want to Alien for the first time again lol). Being able to read a book on some topic and being an instant genius about it.

[AdventureRacing]

Immortality and teleportation seem pretty cool to me (though the latter could actually be used for some non selfish reasons).

[The Incarnation]

The ability to turn any roadkill into a hat, instantly.

If not that Mindtaking, Mentok style.

[Andrex]

Gravity powers are far more dangerous.

They're so cool though. It's basically Magneto but everything instead of just metal.
