Every time you go back in time to prevent something from happening, you're actually creating a new timeline with a new copy of yourself. You still get in the accident, but your past duplicate will manage to avoid it. And now there's two of you with time travel powers. You go back in time with the lottery numbers? You don't get the money, the past you gets it. And now there's yet another copy of you running around. And if you keep time jumping, before you know it there's a near infinite number of you mucking up the time line.

Time travel would be cool, but so dangerous. I think I would pick teleportation. Although super strength and flying would definitely have uses, teleportation might be the most life fulfilling. You could pop into every country to assemble your breakfast, pop into the kremlin and kill Hitler I mean Putin, save the world, be back home to watch it on the news. --- He who stumbles around in darkness with a stick is blind.

At least with flying I could live on my own and subsist or sell my service to whatever application it would pay for. I'd probably just live in the wilderness though. Build my own shit and take food from overhead somehow. Honestly, I'd like to live somewhere I could mine for gold. Perhaps somewhere up north in the untouched wilderness man can't get to easily. Just smack rocks all day and hope to find gold veins. I'd like to learn how to process it and turn it into pure gold too. That would be my dream. Not sure why I have this obsession with gold. I don't even own anything gold except for minor pieces of jewelry I never wear. --- "Torture experiments. We're all monkeys." "They hurt you?"

Telekinesis or Time manipulation. If Time manipulation meant i could pause and restart time, like in Heroes i would probably take that.

My go-to answer to this question has always been either time manipulation or mind control. So much so that most of my Mage: the Ascension characters tended to have Mind as their main magic focus, and in Vampire: the Masquerade I'd almost always take at least a few levels in Dominate or Presence (or both). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Flying needs a bunch of other powers to really be useful. You added in the ability to handle any atmosphere and temp though, which are 2 of the issues, so that is really almost 3 powers. In theory the ocean is an atmosphere as well, so you might even be able to fly underwater as well (making the swimming power kinda pointless). Any atmosphere might mean none as well, which could mean you could fly through space as well, but that brings up how FAST you can fly. If it's superspeed fast, then again, superspeed is obsolete as well. If you can only fly at say 2 miles per hour, then your not gonna go many places, and you don't really even need the any atmosphere temp change, but if you are going to fly at 100 mph, then you need endurance/durability etc to handle the wind force/things (like birds) hitting you etc. Without it, flying would be very dangerous. Of the other powers a few like xray vision etc could make you unlimitedly wealthy, so you could try being iron man lol, but only time manipulation can actually make it much harder to kill you and it has a ton of other applications as well. It could in theory also make you immortal, or at least make your life last WAY longer if you kept resetting the same day over and over (until bored with it then move on to a new day). If you can reset a day backwards, you can use each day to it's limit, living it over again like ground hogs day to aquire skills, and of course become isanely filthy rich very quickly. You then would have your own jet etc, that could let you get all over the world and experience a "day" everywhere. You could literally fly to many hundreds of thousands of places, and reset the day there before moving forward one day in real time. So while you can't fly yourself, you got the money to not only have a personal jet, but pay people to invent stuff for you (so make a jetpack etc just for yourself that lets you fly). No worries about it crashing etc cause...time manipulate backwards if it does. So of the choices, time manipulation gives pretty much everything else, just you would need to use money to get the other abilities (not to mention you can groundhogs day it till you can invent them yourself lol). --- Tacobot 3000 "Saving the world from not having tacos."

wolfy42 posted... Flying needs a bunch of other powers to really be useful. You added in the ability to handle any atmosphere and temp though, which are 2 of the issues, so that is really almost 3 powers. It's the main reason why the "flying brick" archetype became one of the most common in comics. A degree of invulnerability to help resist the drawbacks of flying, so most stories that include one will include the other (especially more "realistic" settings). And then super-strength tends to get added in just because that's the full Superman stereotype (and because it makes it easier to lift things - or other people - while flying). Though a lot of that depends entirely on how high up you're planning to fly and how fast. Stick mostly low and slow and you don't really need much beyond basic flight, heavy clothes, and a pair of goggles. ie, about on par with what a motorcyclist would wear for the exact same reasons. Then you'd just be The Rocketeer. The atmosphere/temperature addition really just makes it easier to fly higher, where air is thinner and temperatures are colder. But while planes kind of need to fly high up for various reasons, a flying human wouldn't (unless they were trying to hide their ability to fly and wanted to be so high up no one could see them... but even then you'd still be detectable in a lot of ways, by precisely the sorts of people who might want to dissect a flying person to study them). wolfy42 posted... If you can only fly at say 2 miles per hour, then your not gonna go many places, and you don't really even need the any atmosphere temp change, but if you are going to fly at 100 mph, then you need endurance/durability etc to handle the wind force/things (like birds) hitting you etc. Without it, flying would be very dangerous. Ehh. Even 3-4 mph flight would put you exactly on par with the average walking speed, but with the added advantage of avoiding obstacles and not having to deal with heavy or obstructed terrain. Increase that to 10-15 mph or so and you're starting to equal bicycle speeds. You can increase that even more to around 40-50 mph and you're starting to experience speeds comparable to the ones you'd have to deal with on a motorcycle. You don't really need to start worrying about bird impacts or the wind shearing your skin off until you start moving faster than that. After that, the real question becomes how fatigue works. If you can generally fly about as far/for as long as you can walk before getting tired, it's not going to be a huge advantage over existing travel methods, but if it's mostly a question of mental focus rather than physical fatigue, and you can potentially travel for hours without getting tired, there'd be a ton of advantages in flying (being able to avoid traffic and travel in straight lines as opposed to following established roads not least of all). If you could fly 50 mph and stuck to lower altitudes, you could easily fly without any other additional powers, and still find it incredibly useful for the most part. Not to mention never really needing to be afraid of heights or falling again since you can potentially "catch" yourself. Though sure, other powers can potentially be way more useful. Though a lot of it depends on exactly what you want to do with your powers. And how much you're willing to change your entire lifestyle around it (ie, most "I'll use my power to become rich" scenarios require you to use your power constantly in ways you can charge for, which is essentially taking on a second job). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

captpackrat posted... Immortality sounds good, until you reach the heat death of the universe. Then what do you do? Presumably you go insane, and once you're catatonic it doesn't really matter anymore because you aren't really "aware". But that's also assuming you have unconditional immortality. In a Big Rip scenario you'd likely be torn apart on the molecular level eventually, and in a Big Crunch you'd essentially be vaporized and become part of the fuel for the creation of a new universe, and in both scenarios you likely die in spite of your immortality. The real problem is if you get your powers from a Greek god, and they go the traditional route and give you eternal life but forget to give you eternal youth, so you wind up spending most of the rest of eternity as a withered husk constantly praying for death. rjsilverthorn posted... Also terrible if it doesn't come with some form of healing/regeneration since you can just get trapped in endless pain with no hope of relief. Worse than that, even if you have the ability to heal, you can still get trapped pretty much forever. Buried alive, trapped in a chasm, encased in concrete or lava, etc. Over an infinite timespan and with eternal life the odds of being trapped in some way rise to almost inevitable levels. And once you're trapped you're pretty much stuck there forever. Or at least until the planet tears itself apart. But at that point you're still stuck, just stuck floating in space. And on top of all that, unless you have complete invulnerability as well as immortality, you'll presumably still feel pain even if you regenerate damage - and spending every second of your day constantly burning to death (without being able to die) probably isn't fun. Burning air searing your lungs, being trapped in molten stone, bathed in endless radiation just waiting for the sun to eventually finish burning out. For millions of years. Immortality sucks. But we already knew this, because two wise men tried to warn us long ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jtpf8N5IDE captpackrat posted... Imagine when the sun expands and engulfs the earth. But that won't happen for billions of years. The oceans will boil away long before that. Even worse than that. The Earth will become inevitably uninhabitable long before the seas boil away - we've got about a billion years max before most plant life dies off completely (and takes animal life with it), and the only thing left is simple single-cell organisms at best. On top of plate tectonics slowly grinding to a halt and radically altering multiple facets of the world, the atmosphere slowly altering, and other global effects we have no real power to alter or prevent. And that's just the upper limit for life. There's always the possibility we destroy ourselves via rampant environmental damage way sooner. Or we experience another extinction event a la the dinosaur meteor (which will probably happen in the next 100 million years or so). Or continental shifts will radically alter global weather in the same way it did in the past (a la the radically different Pangaeal weather, or the Jurassic Era ocean in the middle of North America). So a true immortal is probably going to spend a VERY long time utterly alone on this planet, after all other life is gone. With no real means of escape. With the only hope for an end to their living hell being if/when the planet eventually starts to break apart and leaves them floating helplessly in the void of space instead. Assuming that even happens. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

You were free to kinda cut some corners. It would be magic. You wouldn't get tired and you could fly about as fast as a commercial jetplane I guess. 500mph? It would have to make traveling the globe or to the moon doable. Maybe in space you could really zoom solar powered or something.

Telekinesis: Has some overlap in usefulness with invisibility, and is less dangerous by far. Also better than super strength and flight depending on the limitations, and it even has some of the benefits that being able to teleport with others would grant in that you could probably save lives with this. >=> Clairvoyance: Depending on its efficacy, this could have a similar impact to time travel without the potential extremely dangerous side effects. It is a hard pick between this one and telekinesis but I think that clairvoyance might drive me nuts if I learned of terrible shit but couldn't avert it. > Teleportation: Interesting, but depending on how it works it could backfire, and it won't exactly protect you from the trouble you could get into with it, lol. If you want to travel the world, there's probably no better choice. If you could teleport others as well, that would make it a better option; you could save a lot of lives that way. The speed at which you could teleport would also be an important factor. > Invisibility: This could be useful for a variety of reasons, but it could also get you killed if you aren't careful. It would depend on whether or not it was *just you* or if it also applied to... like... clothes and tools and such. =>= Super Speed: Depends on how fast, but this could come with some unpleasant side effects and could be dangerous in a way similar to invisibility (namely, you could get splatted like a bug)... but... teleportation... this one is very parameter dependent, imo. > X-Ray Vision: Useful if you want to go into health/vet care, but clairvoyance might be able to substitute for the effects this would have. > Time Manipulation +/- One Day: Extremely risky depending on the parameters, and if it doesn't revert your aging, or has other unforeseen impacts... it's cool but it's just not worth it, especially because you could replicate quite a few of its benefits via clairvoyance depending on how powerful your clairvoyance is. > Super Strength: Could be useful but depends on how strong. Also, if telekinesis can reach the same levels of power, there's no point. > Underwater Super Speed and Breathing: Nah... unless you want to be a lifeguard or something but even then, telekinesis could substitute. > Flying: Nah.

Straughan posted... I just don't want to teleport. I want to fly like Superman does. I wouldn't care if any superpowers were stronger. To be able to fly and see what the birds see whenever I want and explore would be like a dream.But you could just teleport into the sky and watch the birds --- He who stumbles around in darkness with a stick is blind.

Sufferedphoneix posted... The flash doesn't. Who says I'd use it for fighting anyways. Plus if I had any control over just how fast I moved I'd only need to move fast enough to not get hit in fights to win.Poll says super speed, not the flashes godlike power to bend air molecules around him. When you dodge a bullet, you cause a nuclear level explosion on the spot as your limb collides with the air and turns into super heated plasma. --- He who stumbles around in darkness with a stick is blind.
