    What would your superpower be if you could have one (or if you already do)? tongue.gif

    P.S. If you had a choice would you like to be able to turn invisible of fly?
    Personally Id like invisibility.

    The flying thisng sounds good
    but i'd have to go for the invisiblety !!
    biggrin.gif
    or being able to phase through walls\cars sutuff like that ( and yes my cloths also) that would be damm annoying if you phased through a door and your clothes were left the other side !!!

    No !!!!! I will crush you with my Bare hands


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,471 ✭✭✭elexes

    and id also like to be able to controle time


    what type of world will we live in when there is no world ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭fisty

    the problem with invisibility is, if your crosing a street at a pedestrian crossing and youve forgotten to take it off....you know some one will break the lights if they think theres no one there tongue.gif

    Super speed...and this protects what Im wearing....

    I'm not saying what Im saying. I'm not saying what I'm thinking. Im not thinking what Im thinking.

    Teleportation ... why fly when you can just teleport there ;-)

    Invisible ... nah .... Morph-Power ... become anything - Apocalypse from X-men ( plus his ship too )

    and throw in Wolverines claws ... admit it ... you have all imagined having them at some stage in your life

    My superpower choice would be to understand a woman's mind, but that of course would be pure fantasy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Lucy_la_morte


    I would choose the ability to create as many super-powers as I want.

    Non.

    The mind of a boy and the body of a man...... manboy! (ok, that was stolen from The Simpsons - see also: bi-clops).

    I don't need invisibility, nobody notices me anyway biggrin.gif

    The teenager in me says X-Ray vision all the way smile.gif (the teenage kind mind you which lets you see through wimmins clothes but not mens). But what id really like is for ESP/Telekenisis. It lets you pre empt anything and react accordingly. Just think of the possibilities people biggrin.gif

    Some say the end is near.
    Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
    I certainly hope we will.
    I sure could use a vacation from this....

    I once asked a friend of mine this during a particularly long pub session. He said he'd have the power of Hindsight as his super power. We slagged him off about that for MONTHS.

    The ability to stop and start time at will would be a top one - invisibility and super speed follow on from that. Why bother being invisible when you can move from place to place instantly? Why bother being super fast when you can wander at a leisurely pace and still be there in a fraction of a second?

    That said, the nasty person in me says mind control. Once you have that, everything else follows from it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,004 ✭✭✭Lord Khan


    actually my no.1 super ... to have the Power of DeVore

    /me does his he-man poses and says loudly "I HAVE THE POWER" while waving a zip disk in the air.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 842 ✭✭✭the celtic tiger


    i would choose the power of morphing into other people. you could morph into supermans body if u wanted to go for a fly. u could morph into that hollow man if you wanted to see some nudey women........and so on.


    i saw the results of the superpower thing on flunk.net before. i think 3% of people chose "talk to the animals". WTF???????

    tct

    I'm a bicycle!!

    thats the "50 more wishes" answer. you can't have that.
    i'd have the power to turn water into funk


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭Paladin


    Id prefer to fly than be invisible.

    Even if you are invisible what you experience is the same. I wanna fly!

    All you have to do is what is said in THGTTG

    Just throw yourself at the ground.....and miss!

    I'd probably chose some form of immortality (in a Duncan McCleod stylee) ... jump off tall buildings , lay dead for a minute, get up and walk away without a scratch.

    Invisibility would be cool though, go around town slapping dangerous-looking knackers upside da' head, whispering things to people right up to their ear while they're alone somewhere, sneeking into VIP gigs... and all-round generally freaking people out.
    I'd say it'd get boring after a while though.

    But then you'd be pretty well covered there if you could shuffle time at will.

    Mmm, Quad damage though what?

    Sure isn't that the whole fun of it? biggrin.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    The ability to make women talk sense, even for short peroids of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,020 ✭✭✭Ry


    I have one main power and that is...yes you guessed it...all power!!!!! Basically all power to be able to do anything. Godly power. Exactly like Q from the Star Treks
    Theres no real way to explain it. But thats my super power. As for Flight or invisibility
    I'd choose flight because I hate walking to and from places in busy streets etc and would rather be able to zip there on a cusion of air wink.gif Oh and since that ALL POWER thing is a bit much my reasonable power would be very powerful Telekinesis not just moving little things wink.gif but to be able to topple buildings etc. L8erZ

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,004 ✭✭✭Lord Khan


    That's just another '50 wishes' though

    pick one single power

    Rev if women talked sense ... we won't find them attractive any more though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,020 ✭✭✭Ry


    I DID Khan. The Telekinesis!!!

    Hmmm... yes. If H2G2 (the Hitchhikers Guide) is right on how to fly I should be well able to... oh look at that!!! a 10 foot tall panda!

    PS: Super-power: ability to stop/start time in as confined or broad an area as I like.

    I think I'd like the ability to have gold coins fall out of my bottom an hour or two after eating smile.gif

    Me agrees with Lord k, but id like a big flashy entrance and exit like Rayden from Mortal Kombat, the whole electricity thing was classy.

    But then theres the other one that ive been thinking about, ALWAYS BEING ABLE TO PULL THE EXACT CHANGE, OUT OF MY POCKET be it for a bus ride, a cinema ticket or just for a fat Lexus truck. Think about the possibilities!

    Actually reading over these posts the nick "Azezil" reminds me of Azazel from Fallen (no idea how it's spelt), his "super power" was pretty nice, being able to move into different people's bodies by touch, nice smile.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 999 ✭✭✭DrunkLeprachaun


    I'd morph. If you could morph into anything, you could do anything.

    If there's one thing I hate, it's people.
