Spite Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just thought I'd post since it's all quiet at the minute... There is a plethora of superhero movies out there now, and there will be more. In light of this, what superpower would you have? To make things slightly interesting, I'll specify a few ground rules: 1. No God-powers. Superman etc is just lazy writing and everything always ends with deus ex machina 2. No invulnerability (kind of covered by 1) - you can have a power to dodge bullets but being able to dodge tactical nukes or whatever is just stupid Let's hear it Quote ☾☆ Priest of Dio just because the Nazis did something doesn't mean it's automatically wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spite Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 The speak every language one would be great. That's the kind of thing I'm after, stuff that is genuinely interesting. For example you could write an entire book about a guy who could speak any language, it would be p cool. Inventive stuff like that is awesome.

Stannis Baratheon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have a few I like... 1. Being able to read, write, speak and understand every single language 2. Telekinesis. Moving things with your mind sounds awesome. 3. Super-sexyness. Being able to bed any woman I wanted.

Vanek26 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Telekinesis is pretty !@#$ing OP so I'll take that. You can stop bullets, throw shit, even use it on yourself to lessen falls and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Teleportation. Would be great to go wherever I wanted in the blink of an eye. Teleport into a bank and steal some money. Teleport to the Great Wall. Teleport to Chipotle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Jerry Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) I use to be a huge role-play guy back in the day. One game was DC/Marvel Superhero. You get "X" amount of points that would go toward developing your character's superpowers. So I developed a guy who was super intelligent (had that power active at all times), then had super invisibility....I mean not just to sight, but to sound, motion, temperature, and leaving bodily traces (i.e. no footprints or fingerprints). After all that, I had a few points left over so I took the minimum teleportation (out to about 60 feet). Those powers were activated powers. I played him as a young 20-ish punk kid who robbed banks either using the invis/teleport, or from a computer with his super intell and IT/security systems skills. He was pretty cool.

Cornelius Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 1. Being able to read, write, speak and understand every single language That's a good one, I think I'd take that. Cracked had a good video about this once, and they made a good point that superpowers aren't all that great if you could only have one (flying without super speed would be slow, jumping or super speed without invulnerability would kill you, teleportation or invisibility wouldn't extend to clothing, etc.). They concluded that ultimately time manipulation would be best: http://www.cracked.com/video_18289_the-best-super-power-is-not-what-you-think.html But yeah, I'd take fluency in every language.

TellUrGrlThx Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'd go with a combo of never aging and time travel. I have all the time in the world to learn everything possible and I can go experience any event in time. I can even fast forward to the end of time. The never age thing also gives me time to master whatever I want.

Buorhann Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Invisibility... I know oh so Original. I just wanna play tricks on people! Yeah right. You want to snoop in on people. For me? Flight, Teleportation, the knowledge of speaking fluently and comprehending all languages, "Daredevil" type Superhuman senses ( Except I'd actually like to keep my sight ) It's really hard to pick one. Probably Teleportation, if it involves moving from places that I've been to. 1 Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Lune Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 World travel, because this world is just not enough fun. I mean, what will I do once I've completely subdued, conquered and consumed this world? I would like to conquer 7 other worlds and go kill that pesky Hero of the Shield, his pet tanuki Hero of the Hammer, that stupid womanizing Hero of the Spear and that traitorous Hero of the Fan. Once I'm done with that, I'll have one of my puppets kill that God Slayer Arc too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
