    Mine would probably be something extremely unoriginal like being able to fly or being invisable. Anyone else got any better suggestions

    The ability to kill Scientologists without being procecuted by a money driven legal team!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,789 ✭✭✭Caoimhín


    Is time travel a superpower?
    What are the terms of reference here, please be clear on such an important topic. What would happen if I picked the wrong superpower? did you think about that?
    No thought not.

    The ability to steal other people's superpowers, as long as there is other people with superpowers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    I don't know if it counts, but I'd give anything to be immortal.
    Invisibility would be a cool superpower too. Very hard to choose just one tbh.

    Eh, hello, the ability to stop time?
    -never have to study for an exam
    -never have to pay for anything tangeible
    -perv all you want
    Class.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    The ability to manipulate anything, down to and including the sub atomic level, at any distance.

    Might take a while to master it though....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I'm torn between wanting to be Sylar, Claire and Peter. So basically I want to be immortal and want to be able to take on other peoples' powers.

    Also, being able to stop time would be handy because I watched the whole 2nd series of Heroes the other night and I was wrecked!

    being peter petrelli, minus the emo-ness and whining. for those of you not in the heroes forum, he can learn everyones powers.
    greedy?yes, but practical.
    i want the whole package.

    if i cant have that im not playing :p
    or i'll go highlander on ye...or Dragonball Z style....
    Goku, no wait Trunks, so way cooler, but only future version.

    man, was i this geeky before i ventured onto the internet???

    Methinks I'd a be a shapeshifter. The Mystique one from x-men. I'd turn myself into Lucy Kennedy and parade up and dwon Grafton Street in my nip. And to hell with the fvcking kids - they're going to see a naked body at some time.

    Then I'd become Bertie. And tell everyone that I really did take the money and to fvck everybody - I'm not resigning. With clothes on, of course.

    Then Joe Duffy. I'd kill the real Joe Duffy, do his job and get stoned to high heaven live on the air and promote casual sex. Between same sex couples. And tell everyone that love really is the answer.

    Then Alex Ferguson. And I'd stab Gary Neville in public, so there'll be no defence. That'll take care of two problems.

    Oh, the possibilities are endless!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    It would be the power to regenerate any wound while being a sexy blonde cheerleader. I'd never leave the house, just stay in bed playing with myself all day and all night. Mmmmmm, Claire........

    It was all relatively respectable until Dragonball Z came into it... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    The ability to morph/change into anything I can imagine at any time I want and for as long as I want.

    That way I could just turn into me except with every superpower I can think of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,900 ✭✭✭Quality


    The ability to know if someone was lying to me....


    Especially for when the kids get older!!

    Thats creepy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Total control of physical reality.


    That and being able to ban anyone on boards.ie, even admins.


    But I think that might be over doing it.

    immortal.

    What about when life on Earth ceases to exist? You wouldn't even be able to die of boredom.

    Then when the sun eventually implodes/explodes and the planet is destroyed, you'd end up floating in space, all alone, forever and ever.

    I thought immortality as well but those things would turn me off. Instead I'd go for time travelling. I'd love to go back and witness first hand all of histories greatest moments.

    I'd like to be able to manipulate time i.e. be able to stop it, wind it back or forward it.

    The sylar thing would be pretty cool too, but I wouldn't want to be evil like him. Plus I think Dr Suresh is extremely hot and I couldn't be his enemy as I'd want to jump him all the time.

    Quality.. you're ticker is cool. Congrats!

    Super saijans can generally fly.

    I'd like telekenesis. Sylar really puts it to good use. Then he could be super impressed with my telekenetic abilities and we'd have lots and lots of sex. He wouldn't kill me because he already has that power.


    Mmmmmmmm.

    Sylar has his hottie moments but I'd still pick dr suresh over him any day.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,523 ✭✭✭✭Nerin


    kills both suresh and sylar for the craic.

    then after the whining, re animates them only for the zombie forum members to kill em again

    muhahahahah

    Please, the term 'god ' has too much negative press these days, "The Omniscient One" will suffice. I could take Dr. Manhattan's name also, but I'm not blue or naked enough yet :pac:

    Super whats?

    Nerin i'd be long gone before you froze time. /makes up own rules

    It's amazing how Heroes is being used to define so many people's choices.

    To be honest, anybody picking 'every power' just doesn't have the guts to commit to one.

    In any case, to keep up with the Heroes speak, I would go with Time and Space Manipulation, a la Hiro. It makes too much sense not to!

    Outside the Heroes universe, without any shadow of a doubt, omnipotent levels of intelligence!

    Yes, problem, can't have you going around causing havoc whenever you see fit.

    You shall instead cause havoc whenever I see fit, since if you don't I will kill you.

    Now dance for me monkey boy or it's the dirt nap for you :D

    It's amazing how Heroes is being used to define so many people's choices.

    I think it's funny how the characters personalities are influencing people so much too. For instance, Peter has arguably the best power but because he's such an emo sap, it's really putting people off.

    Teleportation, a-la Nightcrawler or blink

    Get anywhere you want, when you want. Locked doors? No problem.
    Plus if you get good with it, you'd never lose a fight.

    Like this, but even better....

    I'd love to be able to fly, just because I've never been a very fast runner.
    It'd be great to communicate telepathically too, like that kid in the Shining but without all the isolation and axe-murder types...

    I'd like to be able to teleport myself, and to see through the clothes of fit women

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I'd love to be able to cause people agonising pain using just my mind.
    Kinda like the Cruciatus Curse in Harry Potter (without needing a wand)
