I dont think its been done yet so I'll star tthe ball rolling!


I wish I had the power of Jack Bauer!

No matter how obscenely difficult a task would be, it would be accomplished in 24 hours!

Sounds like more fun than flying!

I donno... he can do most tasks within 1-2 hours. But his entire family has to be killed or jailed, and almost dies every 15 minutes. Sounds bogus to me.

Easy, Superman.

Superman is way too easy to defeat since kryptonite seems to be sold by friggin' walmart and everyone has some on hand.

The OP said what single power -- so picking a superhero might not count since many have more than one. If I had to pick a single power though, it would be the power cosmic. Described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Surfer

But really.... they made the SS too powerful, so I don't know if that should count :)

Woz
05-02-2007, 06:50 AM
Yea I though about that, after I posted it. I would go with being invulnerable. Though flying would be sweet.

Everyone may have kryptonite, but he has only died once! I just need his powers when they made him way to powerful.

you know spawn is the coolest super hero ever. although, i guess his "power" is simply being a hellspawn wearing a living symbiotic costume.

First choice would be the ability to absorb other superpowers like Peter Petrelli on Heroes. Second choice would be a healing factor like Wolverine (adamantium claws would be a nice bonus). Third would be the power over magnetic fields like Magneto.

the power too control gravity... Which would in a realistic sense require me too contain more mass than our planet... Which sadly isn't a reality...

But the real world uses would be tremendous! I could work at a shipping harbor moving containers without having to use any gas! Or, at a race I could keep the opponents car in the air, or smash there asses into the ground too see there tires break...

The power to raise that skirt! Or simply fling a chick upside down... Nobody would know it was me, because of course this all happens simply by thought....

....

....

Ya, not gonna happen....

Seems like my superpower dreams are as realistic as all those trolls who complain about not being able too beat there mom's mini-van...

I would rate Magneto's abilities over Wolverines. You can do ALOT with Mags powers.True. The power of magnetism doesn't just have to do with metal it pertains to all things that have a magnetic field. In essence Magneto could cause people to spontaneously combust or disintegrate if he broke the magnetic bonds that held the electrons in a person's cells together. It all depends on how much control he really had over magnetic fields.

That being said, the ability to regenerate from just about any wound no matter how great and to slowly age is definitely appealing.

Mags has great skill over his ability that he is essentially living energy. Though Wolvie (who I hate btw) healing powers have been ramped up so much that if all but a string of hair was left, he would regenerate. Originally, any fatal wound would kill him or take him an EXTREMELY long time to recoupe. Such as Magneto ripping the metal from his bones.

I digress, the nerd in me is too strong. lol.

telekinesis for sure. the ability to move things with your mind creates many amazing things, physical control of others, you could multiply your own strength and speed, you could basically fly by using your powers on your self, you could use your powers to go play craps or roulette and easily make plenty of money easily.

I would like the ability to punch somebody in the teeth through the internet...like they're just typing out something stupid and I can punch my screen only my fist is somehow magically teleported through hundreds of miles and reappears by flying out of someone's screen.

Either that, or the ability to induce uncontrollable diarrhea in a target at a distance. You can't fight back if you're doubled over with severe intestinal cramps. Call me Milk of Magneto.

To the OP,
Now can we have the powers of a "superhero" or ONE power?


Easy, Superman.
Superman's "cheesy!" He's got powers that get made up on the fly. Ever see Superman IV? The whole, look at the Great Wall of China bit? Total Cheese.

I'd be Spawn. He's gotta be the best superhero out there.

-Steakboy
Spawn's cool, but the whole damned to eternal Hellfire thing kinda turns me off...

:rollingla That's a good one, Dill!


For me, if I could be a superhero and have all the powers they have? I'd want to be Magneto, hands down. See, he's really got just ONE power but he can use it so he's got all kinds of abilities. Cool and not totally cheesy.

05-03-2007, 09:03 AM
Psychic powers/telekinesis would be my first choice. Talking people with actually speaking could be very useful at times. the kinesis part would be great for a majority of the reasons mentioned already.

second choice: controlling fire. (what can I say, I'm a pyro :FIREdevil )
Thinking about it, I should specify here. I would want the amount of control of both Pyro from the x-men movie and the human torch from fantastic 4. controlling fire when it is started but also starting and encompassing myself if need-be

Saturn,

Not to mention you'd have to be really, really good at algebra! "I was only using 15% of my true powers...Well, I was only using 22% of my true powers!" That and when you die, you have to hang out with a giant blue slug until your peeps find all the Dragon Balls...

I'd create my own superhero or whatever and his power would be to cure all the world's diseases, starting with Diabetes and going from there. If I could cruise around with the power to heal people I'd be plenty stoked, and my own disease would be gone and I'd never have to play with needles or worry about losing my eyes/kidneys/ etc etc ever again while helping other folks :)

Winfree
05-03-2007, 08:46 PM
I think it would be fun to manipulate subatomic particles - that way you could transform one element into another and construct or deconstruct anything in the Universe - thus you could always repair yourself, make and fix things - but you would have to stand outside of time to do that....

And if you can stand outside of time you could also reverse it - like in Red Dwarf - thus causing to Hitler's armies to march back to Germany repairing all the damage on the way, Cho would unshoot people, causing them to come back to life, diseased people would reverse into wellness -

but with limitations on this function - I seemed to remember what happened on Red Dwarf when the cat went looking in the bushes for a litterbox.....

Damn. Sorry to hear about that man. But if you think about it, while it is a worthy cause to heal and cure disease...you'd get swamped by all the people needing help. You couldn't even pee without someone poping out of the toilet asking you to cure something. Then again, that's a doctor's life--isn't it.

If I could pick just one super power I'd pick Wolverine's incredibly amped healing power (where he can regenerate from a single strand of hair as mentioned earlier) so that way I could live a really really long time but still die. Its the best parts of being immortal w/out the negative effects of wanting to die but being unable to. Either that or I'd pick Gambit's ability to turn anything he touches into a bomb.

If I could pick the super powers of anyone it'd be (again) Wolverine's super senses. I think it'd be really cool to have super hearing and smell so no one could sneak up on you.

Controlling time, as mentioned, would of course be very useful. But so would:

4. walking through solid objects

All for evil purposes however. I would thus become a supervillain and live a life of heinous crime.
