Laser vision

Shapeshifting

The ability to shoot energy blasts

Super Intellect. I'm sick to death of feeling like an idiot all the time

1) Flight

2) What would be called a "Breaker state" in the Worm webseries. Basically the power to turn into something that other people can't bother.

The ability to grab an object in a picture or on television and pull it into reality.

I grew up in a poor household so I would look at the supermarket ads and wish I could get food.

>>47027451
But what power do you want now?

>>47027291
>What superpower did you want as a child?
I'm not sure, actually. Probably to be able to do anything I pleased sounds up that little shit's alley though.

>What superpower do you want now?
Electromagnetic Manipulation/Generation. Guaranteeing the salvation of all souls who actually deserve it. Even if I'm not included.

>>47027601

For my penis to be wider than it is long.

>>47027291
When I was a kid I wanted to be able to stop time.

Now that I grew up I wanted the power to travel between different universes, or to different locations within the same universe. Like teleport but also includes dimension hopping.

I wanted to have a healing factor like wolverine when I was a kid.

Now it's all about mind control/reading. Realistically it's the most bang for your powered buck

Super Human Strength

But now I want the combined intelligence and genius of Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, and Doctor Doom then I can super science just about any power I want by turning myself into a guyver style Ironman cyborg

>>47027291

Flight

Shapeshifting

>>47027291
Super Strength. That has some obvious drawbacks though.

Now I want mind reading, the kind where you gotta focus on someone to hear their thoughts, not the kind where you hear everything. It's easy to keep it secret, and it has enormous benefits.

Those retarded love parameter glasses. Along with Saitama tier everything else.

Similar to this, but I'd love to have total molecular control of both mine and other's bodies that I'm touching. Sorta like pillar men. Live forever, change myself to a perfect specimen, heal and alter people who aren't shitheads. Or even heal shitheads, and hopefully make them less of an asshole.

>>47027291
I don't know. Probably something to do with water or ice or sharks, since I liked those things a lot.

I suppose either Super Intellect/Wisdom, Super Charisma, or just Wizard Powers so I could do a little of everything with some restriction and I could walk the planes and understand the universe.

>>47027291
Flight (which is still totally rad and like 3rd on the list)

I don't remember what, if any, superpowers I'd have wanted when I was a child. Now I'd definitely take shapeshifting.

>>47028037
Flight resonates with human beings for a wide variety of reasons. It really hits on something almost spiritual in what it would represent to be able to fly like Superman, without caring about wind currents or complex machinery.

Imagine it. Total freedom. The ability to go anywhere you want, easily, without fear of obstacles. The feeling of being completely loosened from all distractions. The ability to, at a whim, simply soar into the clouds, and get a gods-eye perspective on things.

I have no idea how deeply widespread telekinetic flight would effect human psychology, but it would strike deep.

As a child, I wanted to be a Jedi.

Nowadays? The power to create a portal to any other location deemed necessary. Maybe take a walk on the African savannahs one day, wander about the jungles and temples of India another, stop by my summer house in Puerto Rico for a weekend, and open a window to Antarctica to use as natural air conditioning.

I wonder if there's already a stand that can open portals to places.

>>47028037
Not one of them, but I suppose from a psychology standpoint, it means freedom and adventure. Imagine getting into an awesome fight in mid air, or the rush of flying as fast as you can, or being anywhere you want, unrestrained.
Just a guess, though.

>>47027291
Thermokinesis

Ability to project imagination onto reality.

Shapeshifting (with a major focus on dinosaurs/kaiju)

finally becoming a real girl

WAIT WAIT WAIT

I remembered something I REALLY wanted as a kid.

You know how sometimes you squash peoples heads between your fingers with perspective fuckery?

I wanted to be able top do that, but actually affect what I was 'squishing'

Along with other things, like slicing with the edge of my hand, or smashing with a clenched fist.

Nowadays, I'm not sure. I suppose being able to make my own little pocket plane with a nice house and a loving family sounds nice. Not sure, though.

eh, it's a superpower. General idea and thought should be good enough. I'd start out just gluing cuts and shit back together and making stuff like hair grow and bones thicken until I understand things better.

Unless you're suggesting somebody like Magneto has to perceive and alter every electron in every object to manipulate magnetism, in which case we're never gonna agree on this.

Not him, but speed force is motion itself. It exists outside of the confides of reality, the source of all kinetic energy in the first place. It will work no matter where you go.

>>47028385

When I got a bit older and lazier, telekinesis. I once had a really vivid dream about folding socks into pairs whilst sitting across the room with my mind powers.

Yep, he can basically run from here to the end of the universe and come back in the time you blink.

By the way, it took the whole existence of the universe to reach there, Flash did it in a blink of an eye.

Shapeshifting.

Telekinesis.

Actually, he did that in a space of time smaller than a plank-instant. For those of you who don't know a plank instant is the time it takes a photon in a vacuum to cross a plank-length.

Sure, mass isn't an issue, but he has no real means to control his flight, and sustained lift would be an issue.

He could jump really far, though.

Flash and Jonzz are the biggest jobbers of DC.

Jonzz mental powers are the best in the whole DC universe, he still gets mind raped by little shits like Joker.

I don't remember but it might have been immortality. The idea of getting old scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Now I want time manipulation. I've even had dreams where I was able to slow down time while moving normally and it was pretty badass.

My own mortality doesn't really scare me any more. I just want to hurry up and die already.

Originally immortality, invulnerability was also up there. I first really realized the inevitability of death at the age of 13, I was a depressing child.

>>47029835
I feel it's limited enough that it deserves its own unique name.

>>47029835
It's more specific I guess, I was never really that fussed about slowing down/speeding up time or going forwards or backwards to just anywhere.

That being said being able to speed up time to skip boring stuff would have appealed to kid me.

The ability to move and think at any speed up to 99% the speed of light, with the ability to adjust that speed whenever I pleased.

Barring that, mother fucker's I'm gonna become Static Shock.

>>47029796
>>47029835
I feel like this is the best, because through sheer determination you could do anything.

Remember playing Hotline Miami, and dying 400 times until you completed a level the first time? Same principal.

The only issue would be if you needed to remember something, you wouldn't be able to bring that information back with you unless you can memorize it. Means you won't be building a rocket or curing cancer anytime soon.

>>47029975
> 99% the speed of light

Just fyi when you go that fast, instead of pushing the air out of the way you're going to start undergoing fusion with it, giving out massive amounts of energy and radiation.

Also be a lot less useful then you'd think; information actually applicable to your everyday life wouldn't really be that common, and once you had it you'd have to figure out how to apply it all by yourself using your regular position and no new resources.

Teleportation or telekinesis. Actually useful in day-to-day life, pretty cool powers.

Younger, I wanted immortality and the ability to give or take it away from others.

Now, I want immortality and absolute control over leverage (meaning regardless of my position or predicament I can apply my strength exactly how I want with exactly the amount of leverage I want.) I mean statistically speaking if you are immortal you will eventually get caught in a landslide or building collapse and be trapped without leverage so super strength wouldn't be able to save you. With absolute leverage I wouldn't ever get trapped and I would functionally have super strength without needing the other required powers.

>>47027542
It was either this or being a vampire. Not like I was a brooding kid or anything, but the power combo was pretty sweet.

Now, shapeshifting. It would be such a catch all for all the stuff I'd want to do that I think it beats out a lot of the other fantastical stuff.

As a child I liked the idea of invisibility or time powers. I still like the idea, but...

As an adult I'd kill for the ability to write linking/descriptive books like in Myst, if that can be considered a superpower. Even if I would be a terrible author.

Sit down, every day, and write a 1000 word short story. If you feel like you can do more, do more. But that's your minimum.

You'll be pretty good in a few years.

Practice makes perfect. There is very little that it does not apply to.

Reading is much better than writing when it comes to getting good at writing.

>>47040775
You really need to do both. But I assumed since he named dropped a famous book series and even had a general style he wanted to aim for, he already has the reading part down, and he needs application practice now.

To be perfectly honest, I sort of start with that assumption; anyone who really wants to be a writer does so because they read a lot of books, so they don't need to be told 'read more books'. Admittedly, this isn't always the case, but I can't really comprehend how that works.

>I want to write books for a living!
>I don't actually like to read

I really don't get how some people manage to have both mentalities.

As a kid, and actually until just a while ago, I wanted telekinesis.

I spent an hour or so thinking about this in detail, and I came at an conclusion. In the lines of >>47028142, but instead of projecting, connecting imagination with reality.

This way life doesn't become boring and menial, because you can't simply make anything you imagine real, you have to work for it. For example, making it possible to write a script to a game that does exactly the thing you want, or to paint a painting just the way you saw it in your head. I would want life to retain some difficulty and challenge, instead of making it a hedonistic eden.

>>47027291
Super Regeneration then

Mind control

Now, I want extreme shapeshifting, the thing kind, so I can not only work on myself, but also take off the illneses of other people with repairing cells, make other people arms grow, and other nice shit. The catch is that its less of a "I touch you, you turn into me!" thing, an more like a benign sickness that cures other people. I would only add to my mass by the means of eating matter. The only problem I see with that in the longest run is that humanity will become lazier and wait that I fix every fucking bad thing that is happenning.

>>47028953
Have any DC or Marvel heroes visited those Earths in the comics? Did they lose their powers?

Save states always seemed like a good idea as long as you don't save a second before you get hit by a car or something. A bit like Groundhog Day, but controllable. Broken only as long as you're willing to put effort into it, plus you can win the lottery.

What are some extremely versatile/jack of all trades powers that aren't completely broken like telekinesis and actually require inventiveness?

Is the manipulation of luck absolutely broken I think it is, but that depends?
Shapeshifting is quite popular here in /tg/, because you can get multiple, like being able to fly, super strength, super toughness etc.
Transmuting materials is a pretty useful generalist, kind of like shapeshifting except you shapeshift other things
Teleportation is also pretty widely applicable

I dunno. Telekinesis is widely applicable exactly because it's kind of broken. Also depends on how much telekinesis you have. Like, if you can only lift as much as your body can lift, then you gotta get ript to make it useful, or if it can lift only X, and if x is not metric gigantons, the applications change.

Usually, generalist powers are best when you take a completely broken power (such as control of luck, just think about it) and add a limit to it (such as you can use it only twice per day).

>>47027291
>As a kid
Something big and showy, and a bit cheesy. The little shit I was wanted to rule the world.

>Now
Plain ol' probability manipulation. It's a simple thing, that can be creatively applied.

>>47043546
>manipulation of luck absolutely broken
Yeah, it's pretty overpowered.
Teleportation is broken if you can teleport objects.

I'm searching for powers that are more original and require imagination to become powerful.

>>47043609
Hmm... What about changing the appearance of objects? Such as masking a sword for a dagger and hitting with the part that is invisible? Or making objects invisible, along those lines.
Or... Taking properties of objects to yourself, such as transferring a metal shield to your skin, giving you ironskin?
Or alternatively... Foresight for the next 10 seconds?

Something more along those lines?

Boom, a castle appears even with my own servants. I want to live in my favorite game/book/movie setting? Boom, I'm there. Also time would be different from the outside real world (see the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball Z) so I can spend as much time as I want with little change in the real world.

Depends entirely for how long, and if it's applicable to humans. You could just turn someone's head into a lead ball and go your merry way as they writhe in agony, unable to come up from the ground.

Or alternatively just make your weapon REALLY HEAVY when you swing it, adding more weight and density as it accelerates.

Now , I admit I'd like omnipotence or at very least omnireplication, even just the most basic form of it (ergo, learning anything in matters of seconds as soon I manage to see it done somehow.)

I got more ambitious with my dreams as time passed, I guess.

My friends and I often play a sort of thought-experiment game where we discuss what superpowers we'd like to have, and what "niche" we'd seek out in the resultant capeshit world.

When I was younger I wanted super strength and invulnerability.

These days if I had to pick a superpower, it would be persuasion. The ability to influence large groups of people, and to do it subtly, is far more powerful than the ability to shoot lasers out of one's eyes. Nobody would ever even know I was a Super, I would just slowly take over the world, one speech at a time.

>>47047398
>Penis enlargement to make millions.

I always figured physical abilities would be the best to have, at least psychologically.

Being hyper-intelligent or mega-social would be incredibly isolating. Human frame of reference or interaction would be so alien.

Then there are powers that seem great, but then the responsibilities that come with them would be absolute ballbreakers, like Healing.
