Super powers

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Tonight was the premiere of "Heroes" on NBC, and though I didn't watch it due to prior engagements, I taped it and am eagerly looking forward to watching it whenever I get around to it.

But it brought up an idea I know won't cause any conflicts and it's obviously the point of: if you could have ANY super power in the world, what one would you want and why?

Even if it's an obscure weird power, please tell. Mine would be shapeshifting, hands down. I would love to have the ability to turn into any of my favorite cartoon or comic book characters or anyone I wanted.

I automatically get powers just by shifting, :D talk about a two for one deal.

[BlooCheese]

I want to fly.
Why?
Because it's cool!
And it makes me feel powerful.

[Kzinistzerg]

I'd want shapeshifting, without conservation of mass. That way i could fly if i wanted to.

If I could only have one thing to shift into It'd be a phoenix.

If it had to be a real thing it would be either a jaguar or a falcon.

If i couldn't have that I'd want to be able to control lightning/electricity.

And if i couldn't have that, I'd like to be able to move super-super fast.

[kaytea]

Im quite interested in shapeshifting
but yet I also like Time Control

EDIT:: I decided to take a quiz to see what I'd get

~*~Result nr 6~*~

Your power is: Transformation
Explanation:Unlike everyone else you can change your body materia and transform into anything (e.g. an animal). This can be used in good purposes for infiltrating evil headcuarters or adjust your physical abilities by transforming and therefor do better in battle. If turned to the evil side, a transfomer could manipulate the "good guys" by looking like their loved ones and break them down.
As a person you are dissapointed with life. You have not so many interests anymore and has become depressed. Of course you can be happy, but your happiness subsides quickly and don't last very long. You isloate yourself from people since you think they would only hurt you, but some part just wants someone equal who understands the pain. When you transform it gives you freedom and you can be anything but yourself. You often pity yourself but don't let people come near and know what's going on with you. But the thought of opening up and risking being betrayed is too strong and intimidating to even try.
Negative aspects: You carry much hate to the world and yourself and in the long run this could lead to dangerous thoughts (suicide/cutting/killing) though the last one is least likeable since you would probably just have too much guilt.

meh so shapeshifting is then
lol I sort of also want to be a Time Controller

[GrimTheLost]

I would have to choose either teleportaion or being able to manipulate fire. The reason for the first is because I would be able to go wherever I wanted to go. The second is I have always be a pyromaniac.

[Cassini90125]

Shapeshifting, teleportation, or time travel, in that order.

[SkittleMonkey]

Well, this might be considered an evil power, but I'd only do it to those I thought deserved it. I'd like to be able to look into someone's mind, find out what they're most afraid of, and make it seem as though it were happening to them. Don't know why, just thought it would be kind of different.

[InsaneFan]

I'd like to shapeshift, 'cause then I could be anything I wanna be. ^^

This is what I got on that quiz thing, though:

Your power is: The ability to fly

Explanation: This powers speaks pretty much for itself. Though you don't need wings for this power,you can fly anyway. Some people may consider it as telekinesis since they can also fly, but you can't make material things move like they can. This ability could be a relaxing activity when you want to get away from everyday troubles. Also it is good when sneaking upon an enemy since it makes no sound. When going over to the "dark side" the power could be used to harrass and break into building through windows etc.
You are quite similar to this power since you like to have your head in the clouds. Supernatural things amuse while ordinary life does not. If your daydreaming has gotten a little too far you might be zooned out all the time, even when you are having a conversation. Your desires and/or goals tend to be unrealistic even if you know those would probably never happen. Travelling is something you would be interested in doing since seeing exotic scenery fits with your fantasies of escaping your plain life. You can also have some creative ability (writer, playing an instrumen etc) that interests you.

Negative aspects: The whole reason you may be escaping life could be fear of being let down by it. So if that would come to happen, and an important dream had been crushed you could get depressed.

[Voxxyn]

Animal transformation and a highly flexible body(like Elastigirl). And the ability to jump out other people's computer monitors so I could kick their asses.






Not anybody here, of course; you guys are awesome! Unfortunately, I can't say that for every internet forum I visit. :(

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Since shape shifting is a board term, other powers I would love to have if I COULDN'T shape shift would be the following in the following order:

Flight - I think everyone in the world dreams of doing this at one point or another in their lives. Flying would be a beautiful and amazing feeling and just having the ability to soar in the skies over everyone would be cool beyond words. It's a classic power and a great one at that.

Invisibility - Without the naked part of course. I think this power would be so much fun to use, and it could really help you or your friends out. Screwing with people and making em think there seeing ghosts. Or sneaking into movies, just prankster stuff like that. It gives you alot of freedom.

Psychic/Telekinesis - Kinda like the powers Mewtwo has. The power to read people's minds and do the Jedi mind trick or two. It would just be cool to have the power to stop something or someone from doing something before it happens or move things without breaking your back trying to lift it.

[taranchula]

The power... "to turn beavers into gold." (Heh heh Freakazoid Reference)

[Mr. Marshmallow]

The power... "to turn beavers into gold." (Heh heh Freakazoid Reference)

"Do you want to see something strange and mysterious?"

"NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT, LEAVE THE POOR BEAVERS ALONE"

;D Hells yeah.

[scary_dream]

I would have to choose either teleportaion or being able to manipulate fire. The reason for the first is because I would be able to go wherever I wanted to go. The second is I have always be a pyromaniac.

I have been, too... hehe I've got several scars on my arms from when I shouldn't have been playing with fire but did anyhow. I'd love to be able to either manipulate it, or better, create AND manipulate it. Of course, I'd be fireproof. I hate being burned.

[BlooCheese]

Ha. I heard this really wierd commericial on the radio today. It went something like this.

If you woke up one day and discovered you had an extraordinary power, what would it be?
(Long pause.)
Would you tell anyone about it?
(Long pause.)
What would you do with your powers?
Where would you go?
What would you accomplish?
(Long pause.)
Would you use your powers for good?
(Long pause.)
Or for evil?
(End of commercial.)

So would you use your powers for good or for evil?
I'm afraid I'd use mine for evil.

[Kzinistzerg]

I think i'd end up doing both.

That REALLY reminds me of the text from Freeborn's teaser trailer! (wolfies!)

[Cassini90125]

So would you use your powers for good or for evil?
I'm afraid I'd use mine for evil.

It depends on your definition. Given the chance, I would happily use my powers to vaporize a number of people, but that is not necessarily "evil".

[BlooCheese]

Well, I don't mean destroying the world and harming mass numbers of innocent people for pleasure. But I don't mean playing super hero either.

[GrimTheLost]

I would use my powers to take over Morocco.

[Cassini90125]

I would use my powers to take over Morocco.

Lol! 8D Uh, why? I am completely confused...

WTF, that's the funniest smiley i've ever seen except from DA's "Jealous" Mood smiley.

[GrimTheLost]

Lol! 8D Uh, why? I am completely confused...

A few years back, a friend of mine said he had a dream of me being the leader of Morocco. So, now that is one of my ambitions in life. ;D

[Matchsticks]

FMA style Alchemy for me. But according to that quiz thing that seems like veryone one is taking here mine is:

Your power is: Clairvoyance


Explanation: Your power is that you can look into the future and see what is coming. How far and long you can look is all depending on your skill level. This can, as all powers, be used in both evil and good. Even if it may seem like a boring ability it is a huge responsibility for the carrier, becase they are constantly tempted with doing the wrongs deeds (e.g. cheat on a test). It takes high morals to not be brought down with it.
Therefor you fit with this power quite well. You take responsibility and do what is the right thing to do. This does not make you a saint, since you're only human after all. But it makes a trustworthy person and you are loyal to camrades and/or team mates. In school you were probably a good student. If you were social varies from person to person, but most clairvoyant people tend to prefer their own company or that of close friends and family. That is because you are wise and knows how to treasure the reliable in your life, since you know popularity can be a false element. You are also not that big on taking risks and prefer what is already explored. That is because you don't like suprises, they can turn out bad and then you won't be in control.
Negative aspects: Since you're always doing the right thing and being trustworthy all the time you can become frustrated. Also, all that you carry on your shoulders may stress you out. You need to relax to be in good mental shape.

[kageri]

Your power is: Super Speed

Explanation: Your power has made you move faster than any living thing and it gives great advantage in stressful times. The power could however make you want everything to happen at once and you tend to get bored with people easily that way. In good purposes the power could save those who are e.g. falling of a building. In negative purposes however they can do almost anything (steal, kill etc) without being seen.
As a person you show the world a cocky side of yourself. You act as if you're the greatest thing God has made and like making rude and sarcastic comment to peers. However you can also be fun to be with and bring an easy atmosphere as well as a tense one. You are tough and don't give up easy and is somewhat self centered. That does not mean you don't care for others. You want to be recognized as a smart/strong/talented person that you strive to be. You have insecurity inside that you don't want to show, but you are independant and want to do things on your own.
Negative aspects: People could get easily annoyed at you if you show your cocky sides more than your good side. You also have a I-don't-care attitude that could push people away.

Hmmm....

I'd be offended, but I'm too busy being amused at "e.g. falling off a building". Hehe..... heh.

Anyways, on the subject of whether I'd use my powers for good or evil, I would use my powers to liquidate Tom Cruise. So.... yeah, I'd be using them for good. OH SNAP!

.....But if I just have super speed, I guess I'd just have to like..... drag him along the ground until the friction burns off his limbs. Or something.

*coug* quiz results...

Your power is: Mind Control

Explanation: Your brain is highly evolved and has learned to communicate with others. This makes you able to control peoples thoughts since their brains hasn't evolved as much as yours and can't fight back. And that way you can make people do stuff without complaining. In good purposes it can be used to convince the "villian" to give up. But in bad purposes they can use it to gain anything, by for example convince people to give all their money to the mind controller.
The power fits you since you have the need to be in control and boss around. It's nothing personal, you just like to have everyone under your eye. That's because you don't know where you have everyone else and don't know if they are going to betray you and stay by your side. That can also lead to you being jealous. It's all to hide your insecurity. You can also be competitive and feel like you have to prove yourself. Sometimes you can also act immaturely, which can also be entertaining for your friends. You are also protective and don't like is someone trash-talks your friends.
Negative aspects: Your bossyness can get out of hand and your jealousy can scare people away. This is not intentional but can happen all the same.

Aw, come on now! I'm not bossy and jealous! At least I don't think so...Darn quiz! Now I don't even know who I am anymore.

Hey! That's way cooler than my stupid power! I wanna control peoples' thoughts too! Or at least fly or take the shape of a walrus or a bucket of water or something.... I mean, super speed? If superpowers played dodgeball, super speed would get picked last every time because it's LAME.

[BlooCheese]

Heeheehee. I think the coolest power would be...
would be...
Actually I don't know. But DICTATORIAL POWERS THAT NO ONE CAN RESIST would be pretty handy. First, you take over the world, but while you are dictator, you change the world into a better place. That makes you look like the good guy.

Ugh. I misspelled "cough" up there.

I want the power to have every power. I could fly and shapeshift and win the lottery and read minds and have super-strength and super-speed.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I wasn't planning on taking this at first but, as more popped up I figured what the hell. I gotta say it sounds REALLY accurate to me in RL:

Your power is: The ability to fly

Explanation: This powers speaks pretty much for itself. Though you don't need wings for this power,you can fly anyway. Some people may consider it as telekinesis since they can also fly, but you can't make material things move like they can.

[scary_dream]

Hah, I took the quiz and got the flying power, too.

However, my luck would be that I'd be enjoying the flight miles in the air whenever my powers just decide to not work anymore. Scary_dream would no longer be the cool girl who flies, but the really ugly spot on the pavement.

That, or I'd get cursed with a really CRAPPY power. All my friends would be flying and controlling fire and I'd be irritating people with my clunky waffle iron of justice.

[SkittleMonkey]

Hmm, I'm not so sure about this one...:

Your power is: Being a controller of an element

Explanation: Wether it is earth, fire, air or water or even all of them, you can control that element. That means you can manipulate their pysichal form and with just thoughts and make an inferno for example. In good purposes it can be used to protect but in evil purposes it is used to hurt.
As a person you are slightly 'odd'. People see you as different and probably have prejudices against you. They see you as 'weird' or the 'freak', and either that hurts very much or you choose to ignore it. You keep your hatred for people inside and probably daydream about killing them, which gives you satisfaction. Truth is you are not evil, only missunderstood and mistreated.
Negative aspects: Since you have deep problems inside you could get into some sort of mental illness or simply get depressed (if you aren't already).

[Medikor]

What I always wanted were angel wings and pysical streingth and endurance of a human in peak condition. Prety much a combination of X-men's Angel and Captain America.:D

[Mr. Marshmallow]

As cool as wings would be like Man-Bat or Archangel, I would rather not want actual wings due to the obvious physical restraint it would take on my back and the fact it would probably ruin everyone of my shirts every time i tried to flex them out.

Plus wings can hurt like a bitch when damaged. One power I might want to try is "slime" regeneration. Like the power to turn into a gooey substance or liquid, and slip through door cracks or keyholes and just reform on the other side or something.

Or Magento's powers, controlling metal and making magetic waves to bend cars and create shields and fly and stuff.

[Medikor]

Yeah, wings could be a hindrance. But they would look so cool!:D Just imagine how imposeing and intimitating they would be to a low life thugg.8D

[Kzinistzerg]

I just had an idea: most worthless power ever...

Talking to goldfish.

lets see, test.... I got the ability to fly. BUt those answers were really... well ,weird.

*cough*Aquaman (http://www.seanbaby.com/superfriends/aquaman.htm)*cough*

Those awnsers really were weird.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Yeah, Aquaman pretty does have some of the most embarassing powers. Anyone who saw him in the Robot Chicken sketch with the "Real World: Superhero Edition" knows exactly what I am talking about.

Btw just on a semi-related note, I finally got around to seeing "Heroes" on NBC and it is freaking awesome! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who likes super hero movies, super powers, or just really fine good TV programming.

The show plays out much more like a movie in terms of music, camera shots, and script work. Plus it shows you what i think is probably one of the WORST powers to ever have: seeing the future.

[GrimTheLost]

Yeah, Aquaman pretty does have some of the most embarassing powers. Anyone who saw him in the Robot Chicken sketch with the "Real World: Superhero Edition" knows exactly what I am talking about.

That was one of the best episodes of RC ever!

[Kzinistzerg]

It was my dad's suggetsion. I mean the type in a bowl who have brains the size of a pea.
