Current Events > If you could have a (reasonable) superpower...

(+) Yeah! (+)

And by reasonable I mean don't be a lamer like Eric Cartman and say you have the power to have all the powers or some nerdier equivalent.

For example:

I wish I could teleport like they did in that movie Jumper. I'd never work a day in my life again. I'd pass the time going everywhere and doing everything. Until old age or Samuel L. Jackson killed me.

A spider sense that informs me when another car is in my blind spot.

Breathing underwater, cause I'd like to be under the sea in an Octopus's garden.

Biologically immortal.

Basically, your body won't die of old age. But you can still be killed by accidents or disease.

Would be between Flash's super speed or Quicksilvers (not the shitty AoU version).

I'd also be cool with the teleportation though.
---

Teleportation, nigh-limitless intelligence, underwater respiration, and many more.

Oh gotcha. I'm guessing you'd eventually die of a car crash, most likely?

I want to be able to find any missing thing: Jimmy Hoffa, car keys, where I buried that buffalo nickel when I was a kid, etc. If I shouted "Where's the TRIGGERRR?????" I would instantly know where it was.

So, we'll call it narrow-use omniscience. :P
---

The ability to fire Kamehameha once a day.

This isn't my original idea but I like the sound of it.

The ability to alter the probability of anything.
---

The ability to make people tell the truth then i would go to washington and make all those goons tell the truth

Mind reading

I like that. As in, specifically, or kind of a shuffling effect?

Sounds too op to be reasonable tbh

this, when WWIII starts, you can live among the fishes and avoid nuclear winter

Teleport.

I'd warp to uncharted places in the world to find stuff to sell.

Freezing time or become a z warrior




















or the ability to shoot up to 3 types of foods out of a portal that appears in my hands
---

Someone here a while back posted "The ability to absorb and fully comprehend the knowledge of any book you touch instantly". That would be pretty sick.

The ability to make any professional athlete trip from anywhere in the world so long as I can see them on TV or on the internet.

Portals (like the portal gun)

I'd even be okay with the set limit (1 blue 1 orange for entrance and exit).

Would leave one at home and use the blue one on the go
---

Actually I'd like the power to materialize any food or dish perfectly cooked.
---

Shapeshifting.

But...that's just crappy teleportation <_<
---

Time control is my top choice. But I consider that "unreasonable." After that is teleportation, then shapeshifting (Mystique level or higher), then intangibility.
---

Perspective/Observational-based powers?

Stick arm inside top hat, almost bottomless. cover someone with a cloth and pull it away, they're gone. grab someone by the neck of their clothes and pull them to your face, only to find that they're ant-sized.

Eventually it can extend to spatial locations, like reaching down and pulling milk from a fridge. to the outright eldritch such as the state of a person is non-determined as long as they're not retrieved, leading to pseudo-life extention. or the outright severe, such as the jumping through realities.....though that'd sounds too similar to Yukari from Touhou.


Every object you use has the potential of becoming a bag of holding. though not all entrypoints have to go to the same exit. dropping milk in one can be freely taken out of another set of drawers. people cannot get out unless you will it, you do have the potential to "teleport" but you can only go from your current location to another place that you consciously know that's not visible. you can't go "inbetween" like you can store people/objects within pocket dimensions. it doesn't allow you to personally have a interdimensional living room but you can cross realities.
---

The ability to be the best at anything, but only when no one is looking
---

Can I just fly?

Persona
---

The ability to heal others and myself.
---

Absolute dominance and control over all manner of animals (excluding humans and bugs for the sake of being "reasonable").

Not exactly the sort of power that's going to break the world, but with enough patience and subtlety, I could get results that would make it shudder.
---

Complete regeneration. I would only die if my body gets destroyed faster than it can regenerate, or my head gets cut off. my bones, limbs, teeth, brain and all that would regenerate, i wouldn't age past my prime, and any dna mistakes, defects or stuff like that would be fixed, including mental health issues.

If that's too OP, then i want to be able to do full cure once a year. it would practically CURE every single thing in body and mind, but i won't regenerate after using it, and i could use it on someone else too.

No other power interests me in slightest.
---

Being able to save and restore within my own life has always seemed like it would be the most powerful possible in many ways--especially if I auto restored when dead. I mean think about it, you could do anything over and over again until you got it right, instantly become rich by gambling, and basically defeat any foe by finding the time they would be most off guard.

But then when I think about it that power would probably corrupt me. I would start doing small things but the temptation to do more and more would be hard to resist. I mean I could just kill someone and literally bring them right back. Plus I would be going back and forth in the same time period. It would probably make me mentally unstable and lose my grip on reality. Other people wouldn't seem real to me.

Probably most super powers would be like this to some degree if you really had them.
---

I'd take either shapeshifting or the ability to understand and speak with animals Doolittle style. I don't want to be a hero or a warrior. I just want to live some of those impossible dreams I've had since I was a child.
---

Levitation/flight. Same degree of control as Superman, but not nearly as fast. And this would include some sort of heightened resistance to elements and such.
---

I'd like to be able to convince my past self to do things to alter the present while still retaining knowledge of timelines. Something like Steins;Gate except no microwave needed, it's all in the mind
---

The ability to not have to use the bathroom. My body just consumes everything.
---

Produce temporary clones. Then I'd be able to become so much more efficient.

The ability to eject pheromones that influence people's emotions and brains

To never need sleep.

The ability to spontaneously produce invincible force fields to protect myself and others. I would be able to generate these wherever I imagined them.

For example, if I walked in on a robbery or something - I could completely protect everyone from harm except for the assailant.

Nigh Limitless stamina like Captain America
