What superpower would you want in real life, and why? Also I think super strength is pretty lame. Sure, it'll be fun for a month, smashing things, but I imagine it'd get mundane fast.
>>38051870
shapeshifting on Skull/Mystique lvl because that's near immortality with flight, underwater breathing, peak human abilities and more all in one power set.
seeing things before they happen would be pretty sick
I'd want toggled invisibility so I can go outside and never ever worry again about being looked at
also all the regular perks like stealing, seeing naked ladies, etc

Well there's a few powers I want so let's think about the pros and cons.
>Flying
It would be awesome to do but you wouldn't be able to go super high because you'd freeze and get nauseous. You'd be able to get around town pretty quickly but you'd attract a lot of attention unless you lived in rural areas. Also flying would be another strain on your body.
>Invisibility
This depends on how the power works. If anything that touches my body is invisible then it's a good power. You could steal stuff by just putting it under your clothes or touching it.However if I have to take off all my clothes to be fully invisible I wouldn't do it. Even if I could spy on hot women, I would still make noise. Unless the power makes you dead silent too?
>Teleportation
Is it instant? Can I teleport behind someone, then in front of them, then beside them, then 3 miles away in less than 5 seconds? If so I'd take this power. If not, I'd probably choose Telekenesis.
>Telekenisis
I think this is the ideal power. Just imagine what you could do with it. I see telekinesis as having a muscle which can move things by focusing on them. Theoretically you could make yourself fly. You could also deflect bullets and even jerk yourself off. I think I'd like choose this above everything else.
>>38051870
I'd want the power to control time. To reverse it, to slow it down, to pause it. Also I'd be able to control my age through time manipulation so I could look young forever.
>>38051870
The power to erase movies I hate from existence... staring with the Incredibles.
Time control or matter/energy control.
>>38051870
Sensory manipulation. I don't want to control what an individual does, just what they see/hear/smell/ect. That would be cool as fuck. I'd probably feel bad about using it though.
>>38052181
Would you have to work the telekinesis muscle out to be able to do more powerful things? Would there be a limit to what you can do? I don't want a Scanners-esque psychopath running around.
Telepathy would be pretty nice. It would at least advantage me during social interactions and would have good day-to-day use. Plus I can become a master poker player through it.
I'd want the power to make every correct rational choice. I'd die a guaranteed billionaire.
>>38051918
You don't want this, trust me. I legitimately used to get visions before they would happen. The more they would happen the more I tried to change what happened. It got out of control, I ended up living in constant deja vu and eventually went into zombie mode until it would pass. I got paranoid and spiraled into an /x/-tier mental case. It took me years to recover. I don't get them anymore because I made myself disbelive they were real, took out all beliefs of mine that weren't immediately backed up by science, and convinced myself I just had mental issues. I've seen professionals and I'm deemed perfectly sane so I'll never know what happened.
Don't ever wish for this anon.
I'd just love some kind of mastery over snow or ice. just the ability to sap the heat from the area around me i suppose. i think the whole aesthetic of a frozen wasteland and snow is so damn cool
the ability to change expiration dates on coupons. discounts all year round.
I think time travel, mind control, and matter/physics manipulation would be pretty op. Regeneration is pretty cool,or flight, shape-shifting, or invisibility. I think excluding the op ones I would take teleportation for the ease of use and practicality. Actually, the ability to learn things instantly would be awesome..
>>38052529
mind reading is also op but awesome
>>38052448
I've had visions as well.
They were very brief however and I usually never remembered I had them until my future caught up with it.
My dad also said he has had these visions before but I suppose ours have been too weak to act upon. I guess if you have clear bad ones it would suck.
freezing time / going back in time
having the ability to "save state" like you can in emulators would be cool too
mixed in with some increased strength, within the confines of possible human ability and nothing outrageous
telekinesis or flight. Flying is just too bad ass to pass up.
It is definitely not the most traditional superpower, nor may it technically be a superpower, but since the appearance and ability of it is entirely based on the user and their mentality/goal, it makes them the most personalized, unique, and effective "superpower" there is.
the ability to manipulate chance/probability.just go to a casino and win a shit ton of money
Reality breaking luck.
The power to turn back Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!
time control
>pause time
>spot a qt stacies
You already know what's next.
>>38052545
Mine started out like that but then I got this great idea that whenever a vision happened while I was lucid dreaming, I would just change the vision, morphing it into a dream. It was awful because then when the vision happened it didn't play out like the dream and ot fucked with my head, I didn't know what was real or not. The visions ended up getting more and more separated from reality while still following the same formula as real life in some aspects so it felt like I was living in separate realities. I couldn't trust the visions or my judgement anymore. I would use them to make better choices but I couldn't do that anymore, ot was just a phsyc fuck at that point.
>>38051870
Actually, I'm writing a graphic novel about Supers. It's not your generic "superhero" shit like you see with marvel and DC, though. I'm really passionate about it.
But the character with the coolest power is Domino, who has the power to sense and manipulate probability. Essentially he can see attacks before they happen, he always knows the right (and wrong) things to say, he has near perfect aim, the list goes on.
>>38051870
Hyper speed
As in I can move at normal speed in a perceived frozen time frame or move at any accelerated speed I desired
Basically just being The Flash
Either that or full control over time with complete immunity to it's effects on me
edgelord ability as a safety net from all the unstable robots who get granted super powers
>>38052801
That's ridiculous. He can move fast, but why does that mean he can think that fast too? Unless time slows down around him or something, but then that isn't superspeed, it's just time manipulation.
Flash is meh.
>>38052837
His brain has to operate on the same level as his body or else his motor functions would completely outstrip his senses.
i appreciate everyone giving ONE super power and saying why they think its cool for them.
fuck all u normans considering like 8 of them and being undecided
Control the Air. When I was a kid I was autistic about the elements and saw myself as Air. Still really like the aesthetic. Had a huge elaborate headcannon about a dreamworld where I was one of the 6 chosen elementals. I now recognize how spergy it was, but to this day whenever I fantasize about superpowers, I'm a sort of a wind god.
>>38052865
is the flash meant to be satire? this is ridiculous
>>38052448
I think I've seen ur green text on /x/
If that's you could you post it again?
>>38052907
No. He isn't satire.
He embodies the speedforce in the DC universe.
Basically he IS speed/velocity and because of that relationship in physics to time he can freely move through time.
>pic related is just Wally West, not Barry Allen
Pyrokinesis. Now they'd literally be roastie toasties
>>38052935
Not me but this phenomenon is common. My heart goes out to anyone who's suffered the same thing. I thought I could really help people man, and it destroyed me.
the power to have gf
>tfw 30 years old
>still play like a little kid though I am a full grown obese man
>sometimes I pretend to have superpowers if my prents aren't home
>one of my favorite games is to pretend I have 'Fat Matter Transformation' where I can transform the fat on my body into anything I want
>have a bunch of fake stories running in my head
>have never written them down so they may have logic problems but there are currently like 8 different stories, all of which interweave in some way
>run around the house pretending to be helping people and fighting crime
>for example will take my sisters tampon blood out of the toilet and pretend it is from a bleeding girl who has been taken into the sewers by an alligator themed supervillian
>pretend that my fat has transformed into a hazmat material and that I am exploring the sewers
>eat chocolate and cakes pretending they are sewer food sold by the mutants
>give myself the excuse that they are actually just decaying veggies so I am not getting fat
>tfw I once stalked a chubby girl outside for 3 hours because in my head she was my sidekick and her fat can only be transformed into reactive materials like oil and magnesium so she needed me to trasnform my fat into fire so we could have sex and form a fireball to fight evil together
god i'm lonely
>Absolute Persuasion
Can get and do whatever I want with zero effort
>Perfect Accuracy
Purely because it sounds cool
>Teleportation
EZ travelling
>Pyromancy
Cause it's cool
>Super Speed
Cause it's cool
>Ability to temporarily destroy super powers
To fuck with this incoming uprising
>Hyper Rapid Regenration
Fuck injuries
I wouldn't want anything particularly powerful or noticeable that I have it. However, I want to still become to most evil human being ever to exist. My super power consists of the ability to make other people's socks damp. Not soaking wet to the point of making puddles, but just damp enough to make it moderately uncomfortable and to give them a squishing sensation with every step they take.
>>38053385
>9 gorillion powers
Fuck off prick you only get one
>>38053429
Why do you think they're separated dumbfuck?
>>38053450
Because you're a redditing retard who can't go more than 10 seconds without using your autistic spacing method
>>38051870
The ability to manipulate, amplify, and diminish momentum.
>>38053464
That meme is shit and will never catch on, stop using it.
Id like to have Pic related's power
>>38051870
Vampirism: cool abilities and long life and I already never go out during daylight
>>38053147
>the power to have gf
Incredibly underated post
>>38053492
Nigga you'd use those 3 hours to jack off or someshit.
>>38051870
the ability to change / morph my appearanceSo I can change into something cute and have the confidence to confess to my crush
>>38051870 (OP)
I would say the ability to switch between intangiblity and physicality at will.
It wouldn't make me invisible, but it would be like I exist on a completely different plane so nothing can touch me, until I deactivate it.
I would train it to react like a reflex, so I never get caught off guard.
Alternatively another power I would like, would be the ability to change the density of any object in my nearby area, for example if bullets are shot at me, as soon as they enter my zone I would be able to reduce their mass and stop them.
Or I could even grab people and increase their density to the point where they collapse on themselves and make a small contained black hole.
