    So you pull a thorn from the Pope's hand and grants you the choice to have a super power. What would you go for?

    I'd be stuck between flying and Wolverine power. Meh, I'm going with Wolverine, start a fight with a bunch of hard-asses and when they corner ya *SHWING!* out come the blades and say something in a cool, crispy voice like "Let's dance!"

    Can I pick Peter's power in Heroes? The ability to absorb other peoples' powers?

    If that's not too greedy then I pick invisibility.

    I'd pick Hiro's power from Heroes. All that time stopping would be cool. No more studying for my exams :D

    The power to clone myself like Agent Smith in the Matrix.

    I could be at home snoozing in my leaba and clone me could be sitting at my desk in work.:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 197 ✭✭Endasaurus


    Laser eyes FTW.


    And who wouldnt find it amazing to be able to fly?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,753 ✭✭✭qz

    Yeah Duplication would be a cool one. Create loads of duplicates of yourself and send them out to do things and then reabsorb them. So you could send out a load of them to do different college courses and then suck them back in and you would have loads of qualifications / knowledge. You could send another load of duplicates out to travel the world. Then you could have other ones just doing your washing, cleaning etc. Would also be an interesting power to have in the bedroom dont ya think. Double your pleasure and all that.

    Yea, but eventually you'd get sick of that. Imagine you find two hot chicks in a room about to get it on but you've stopped time and.........well I suppose with your power you'd have plenty of time to figure out where to hide to watch the show :D

    I can see the duplicate thing going horribly wrong. *turns off Simpsons episode* :eek: Flying..dunno about that either as you could end up going up there drunk one day and having a nasty accident where Ruu meets 747 head on. Super human strength maybe, they all have their down sides. *sigh* Curses on my super powers.

    I would like to bags the invisible man please for 3 reasons.

    1) I could feel milfs

    2) I could feel non milfs

    3) I could take an invisible sh1te and then walk into a restaraunt and put it in peoples starters.

    Wolverines power was his ability to heal. The blades were implants (correct me if I'm wrong). So now you can choose flying as your power and just get some claws implanted ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    Invisibility for sure. I'd be off to the nearest bank as soon as I could.

    Not really. The reason that Wolverine was given the claws was that he was the only one who could survive the implantation process.

    Anyone here familiar with the DC villian Deathstroke the Terminator? I'd go with what he can do; extra strength (but nothing like the Hulk would have), extra speed (but not on the Flash scale), extra perception (but not to a ludicrous extent either), but most importantly, an incredible brain. He literally knows what opponents are going to do before they do, so he is able to counter a move before it is attempted. Anyone see the bit where he beat the tar out of seven Justice League members in Identity Crisis? It was pretty much the coolest thing ever.

    Plus, his costume rocks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathstroke_the_Terminator

    I'd have to go with Professor X's powers too. Then you could pretty much control everyone and get them to do what ever you want (the only real options being a lesbian romp and bank robbery. Nothing else seems important).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    Not really a super power but I'll go with the Implants of a Space marine from Warhammer 40k anyday !!

    If you get arrested doing some crime ? Simply spit acid and melt the bars, damn that'd be cool. Or eat the brains of enemies and gain their knowledge !

    Their solid rib cage would make for freaky looking skeletons when killed. Those marines are pretty hardcore alright.

    He had bone claws originally and the adimantium was grafed onto them just like the rest of his skeleton.

    Actually Spidey has it pretty good as long as you get the organic wed sliggers ..... fcuk all use in Dublin though with out small poxy buildings - I'd have to hang around up by the Square in Tallaght.

    Think about it, not only have you a stronger skeleton, a couple of extra vital organs, increased sight, vision, smell, hearing, speed, strength. but you can also set your brain to half sleep and still stay alert, eat ANYTHING at all, breath air fatal to normal people. The list is endless !!


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


    Hmm, id suppose id go for something that allows me to interface with technology because then i can rule the world within only a few hours


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    I'd like to have mindreading powers. It'd be interesting. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭DaBreno


    Im stuck between two.
    On one hand, Id like the ability to be able to absorb peoples knowledge/expertise by standing beside them. (Thats a power my geek self has often wished for. Quite practical).

    On the other hand, Id like the same as yer man from Preacher, whereby anything I told people, they were compelled to do. But its guaranteed that I would abuse that power within the first day I aquire it.

    Having the ability to fly would be cool too, especially if it wasn't neccesary for you to breath then I'd take off into space and check out all sorts of planets. Freak out earth by grabbing a massive asteroid and swing it back and forth from earth.

    That's 3 superpowers there Duggy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    That's 3 superpowers there Duggy

    Actually 2, flying and......eh, not breathing. I wouldn't need a superpower to swing an asteroid, just some strong rope or elastic bands. Dammit, can't a man dream? Why won't you let me live, WHY WON'T YOU LET ME LIVE???

    Wayhey, 200th post!

    I know the asteroids don't look very big but thats because they are all the way up in the sky. When you get closer to them they get much bigger :D

    Kinda like Midnighter from the authority then?

    Hmm, i've always wanted Magnetos powers, which i can only assume includes the ability to be a complete badass with next to no effort.

    failing that, Gambits powers are pretty cool.

    This would be the first thing to come to mind for sure - life would be so much more fun if you possessed this power.

    Also, the power to stop time like in that episode of 'the twilight zone'. Everything in the world is still, accept you - all you need is two words "stop" and "go". There really is no limits to what you could do. Although, I wonder do you age when everyone else is still - if so, and you had used the 'stop' thing a hell of a lot, your wife might notice that you have got very old looking, and the fact that you are shagged out all the time..

    B) an easy world series of poker win.

    LOL, whoever said taking an invisble shìte and putting it on someone's dinner is exactly what I'd do. I wonder if they could smell it? If they could I'd go to an enemy's house and smear it everywhere :D toothbrushes, clothes, hair gel, shower head, behind a radiator, up a chimney, on the receiver end of a phone, mobile phone, chairs, TVs, in their mouth while they slept, all over the interior of their car, the list is endless. They'd lose their mind "WHY DOES EVERYTHING I GO NEAR STINK OF SHÌT!?! :D
