    To be able to control peoples minds (ergo, use all your superpowers to my best advantage)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Invisability....

    Scratch that... Omnipotence

    Omnipotence
    cheater....thats lots of powers rolled into one. the fact that its one word doesn't mean you can pick it anyway!


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,945 ✭✭✭BEAT


    I would like to be able to freeze time everything stops except for me for however long I needed it to. That would be cool...

    Snap a finger freeze time, take an ice cream cone from a kid walk away and snap back the kid is licking his hand , yum


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    to teleport, that would be really handy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    Turns his eyelids inside out boy was quite powerfull.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    I'd pick the ability to fly. Not only would this make me immune to Dublin traffic but I'd be able to write a whole new chapter for the Kama Sutra.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 717 ✭✭✭Mad Mike


    X-Ray vision ;)

    Sorry dementor just realised you beat me to it. By the way did anyone ever actually send away for those X-Ray specs that used to be advertised in the back of comics?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,092 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    The ability to throw people away REALLY far , sure i wouldnt be the ultimate superhero. Id be a quick fix hero until superman arrives

    that gets my vote:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 687 ✭✭✭kano476


    flying would be brilliant because if life gets crap you could just fly away to the canaries or something and just chillout there for a while and then go back home when your relaxed enough or maybe not and just go on a round the world tour for free! you would have to fly pretty fast though like twice the speed of concorde and have some sort of guiding map with you.

    i wonder if i flap hard enough on my roof i could fly?

    omnipotence is impossible. if you were omnipotent, could you create a rock so heavy you couldn't move it?


    ps BEAT, thats my super power

    Yeah flying too, but I'd prefer some kind of levitation flying thing as I wouldn't want to be flapping my arms wildly to get to a crime scene like Kano.

    As for the omnipotence question: It depends on what you wanted. If you wanted to create a rock so big that you couldn't move it then you would be able to create it as you are all powerful. The key is what one wants.

    yes but with my speedwalking ability Id be able to walk back really fast:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭blondie83


    Definitely flying, without flapping your hands wildly, you'd have to be able to just step off and go up into the air, and control where you want to go with your mind. It happens to me a fair bit in my dreams, and is a really nice feeling:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    yes, but the definition of omnipotence is the ability to do anything. If you could create a rock so heavy you couldn't move it, you wouldn't be able to move it, therefore you couldnt do everything. but if you could move it, then you wouldnt be able to create a rock so heavy you couldnt move it. therefore omnipotency is impossible

    Flying Defo However I would Need a GPS system or i would be lost straight away


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 761 ✭✭✭PrecariousNuts


    It would have to be immortality, I'd love to see how the universe ends.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 163 ✭✭DUX


    Definetly I would like to be able to read other people's minds.....

    I'd pick immortality as well, i'd pick that on the day the earth was created, so was I, and I lived through it's history, evolving as nessecary to be able to observe it's species and advancement and history and to die with it. Flying and all that's nice, but the above would be interesting, and the ablitly to observe a world's lifespan would be cool.

    That one would be awful lonely. you'ld need to have it rolled into the 'create supermodels at will' ability for it to be any use.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,107 ✭✭✭TheSonOfBattles


    I'd be willing to pay the price of loneliness for something that I think would be that great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 451 ✭✭Zukustious


    Ice Powers. The power to just shoot ice from my hands from seemingly nowhere. It'd be so cool(don't you just love the pun?). I could create huge pillars of ICE! I could also construct an ice prison around people. Like a big ice cube that's hollow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,103 ✭✭✭CodeMonkey


    IMMORTALITY: What does that mean really? You won't die from natural causes? Are you also invulnerable? Assuming you are not and invulnerability is a seperate power then your body can still be hurt, you can loose limbs along the way billions of years before the universe ends. And assuming the physical body can be harmed and destroyed, you can still be killed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,107 ✭✭✭TheSonOfBattles


    Ok, i'll just spell it out then: I want to be able to live forever, my body healing over time as nessecary, and evolving so I could blend in with the current species, and observe. Yes I'd want to be able to feel pain, and be hurtable, as these are an important part of life, just not killable.

    Yeah, but I think sometimes it's best not to know what others are thinking of us. Even friends sometimes think things that they would never say out loud. I think it would be hard to accept what we might find out.
    I would like the ability to transport myself in a instant to wherever I wanted to go. Talking to a friend across the ocean? *blink* and I'm there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,048 ✭✭✭DerekD Goldfish


    Telekinesis
    I think thats what its called where you have the ability to move anything using the power of youre mind. You could use it to fly throw people far away and a number of the already mentioned powers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭Exit


    Exactly what TheSonOfBattles said.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,622 ✭✭✭Catsmokinpot


    I wish i had the power to control and manipulate every single atom in the universe, i would be unstoppable a "god" if you will. and you would all either die or worship me :D


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    mind control.....




    yes that would be quite sweet.....


    that or the ability to blend in to my surroundings.... ie girls shower's lol and the like....

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 200 ✭✭DArcy


    What's it called when you're invisible & you have the ability to walk through objects & walls & stuff? That's the one I want...:ninja:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Being a ghost?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 200 ✭✭DArcy


    Being a ghost?

    Suppose that would do the trick..

    Although I was thinking of something more glamourous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 693 ✭✭✭The Beer Baron


    Morphing powers.

    I'm suprised nobody said it already, the ability to change your shape into other people, other things, all sorts of things like
    Anna Kornikova's dildo or a nuclear warhead. I could become a celebrity, or a world leader, I could use these powers to start wars, or I could just morph into Salma Hayak and, after standing in front of a mirror naked for a half hour, sell my nudey pics to Playboy for millions.

    I could adapt to my surroundings in a chameleonic manner (Predator),
    means I could turn invisible, turn my fists into big mallets (Sandman) or knives (T-1000). And you wanna talk about being the invisible man? The invisible man might be able to get into the showers of an all-girl school after a sweaty PE session- but the MorphBaron would have the ability to become the hot water that trickles down their pert young nipples. The MorphBaron could easily morph into ladies' underwear, the fiercest of beasts, mythological or otherwise, into a high-powered sportscar, into an enormous tidal wave, a ninja, a pair of boobies, a tank, a wall of fire or a big stone statue that can suddenly come to life in a jerky Ray Harryhausen type of way.

    Morph Baron would kick all yer pityfull omnipitant arm-flapping psychic-hotline bitch asses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭weemcd


    the ability to control time

    this would be great for getting out of disasters, anyone ever see bernards watch? well like that but being able to fast forward and rewind aswell, also like prince of persia sands of time

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭weemcd


    ^ aye lol but he used to do stuff like saving rats by putting them in boxes what a tool, but being able to stop time, you could steal so many things, cheat at tests, never be late again, undress a teacher/lecturer and then leave them infront of the class etc. ooh fantastic
