If you had a superpower what would it be and why

[Direwolf]

I was just thinking about it and I was genuinely curious to see what results may come up.
To get it started i would have comtrol over the elements.

 

[Ex-User (9086)]

Power over time.

Many reasons, one of them would be to allow myself to obtain biological immortality and spend eternity learning and trying to understand the world by observation and experiments.

 

[The Gopher]

Probably shape shifting (not restricted to real things), myself and others. Again biological immortality for myself and others.

I was going to make a thread asking if you had to give someone else on the forum super powers who would it be.

You can if you want if not i can edit my post to encompass that idea. I would like to see the results.

 

[Pyropyro]

Probably Probability manipulation. I can basically get anything.

 

[ChouMasamori]

Easy. The power to make everything i wish into reality. Be it new power or whatever, i grant it. basically omnipotent

 

[TBerg]

Indefatigability without sleep.

 

[Perfectly Normal Beast]

i'd have the power to shift between alternate realities at will.

i'd grant grayskies power over the weather in her vicinity and the ability to read the minds of spiders.

 

[OrLevitate]

I suppose I'll be your nemesis as I'll channel the unimaginable.

But wait, if you observe me channeling the unimaginable, does it then become imaginable to you? If it doesn't, then I wouldn't even know what's happening when I channeled it, but the fact that it's a superpower makes it possible so I would just cuz I say so and it's what I choose as my superpower.

But, then, my whole superpower falls under the category of your superpower because although the concept of the unimaginable being what it is makes it not able to be imagined, you can still want it, which you could turn into reality because yours is the power of turning what you want, not what you can imagine, into reality. But, can we actually want something if we can't imagine it?

If the unimaginable is a non-exhaustive description of a concept rather than an actual concept, and part of the description is unimaginable other than a vague abstract description defined by the limits of our imagination, then wanting what we can't imagine is possible, and thus you could turn it into reality.

But, if the unimaginable is already reality, which it would have to be to be manipulated, then if you were to wish it into reality, nothing would change for you. If you tried to circumvent that issue by saying you wanted to channel the unimaginable, you wouldn't be capable since your power is simply turning things into reality.

Furthermore, this negates the implied wish of your superpower. Were you to wish for new power to become reality, like you said, then simply imagining new power would be how it becomes reality, you say, "I want to turn the ability to fly into reality." and you imagine yourself flying, and your wish is granted. So, you have the power of thought, basically, or just your same-old imagination, excepting the additional ability to;

Channel the unimaginable, doing so would simply make the unimaginable become imaginable. So I would become instantly omnipotent, and you would too if you wished the same thing. I'll add an addendum to my superpower; "at will" cuz it seems like the sort of thing that might get overwhelming.

So in conclusion our superpowers are the same thing: omnipotence at will.

ok there's some faulty logic in this post, not even including the logical fault in logic itself, so,

My superpower is to have a mug of beer that never becomes empty.

 

[grayskies]

i'd grant grayskies power over the weather in her vicinity and the ability to read the minds of spiders.

Thank you and no!

I'd grant you the power to be the ultimate exterminator weapon against all bugs; specifically spiders, roaches, and mosquitoes.

 

[grayskies]

If I had a superpower, I'd simply like the ability to read minds...to know what others are thinking and to be able to visually see what they are seeing.

 

[Cherry Cola]

manipulating matter and energy with my mind

 

[Lot]

Telekinesis

You could fly, not have to move often, and be able to work out your muscles without moving. Picking things up from a distance, would make life so easy. And when my cat walks around when I'm trying to pet him, I won't need to chase him around.

Developing telekinetic strength would be worth my time. It would be so fun too.

 

[Helvete]

To make anybody I wanted feel the peak just before they orgasm and hold them there for as long as I wish; then choose whether to let them orgasm, let the feeling subside or see how the person would act after on their own accord. I could if I wanted walk down a crowded high street and make everyone reach there peak, keep them there until many made that awkward connection that others were there too, and see how many chose to have sex or how many try to keep their pride.

It could work as a very efficient social tool.

 

[TheManBeyond]

i was gonna ask to enlarge ma penis according the need, kinda the spiderweb peter parker uses to travel from building to building or goku's magical stick

i would like to know what others are thinking, but not like hearing voices all the time like profs bald from x men, i would be able to hear only what i want, etc.

travel through time would be cool too

 

[Coolydudey]

sensing lampposts.

 

[computerhxr]

I would wish for that, but then I would accidentally imagine myself out of existence.

It's no wonder why you attract the wrong kind of people.

 

[Cognisant]

Life drain, at will anything I touch dies and the lost vitality goes to me.
Gently bopping people on the nose and watching them drop dead would be endlessly amusing, or in a superhero fight sneaking up on someone and holding their hand, for the victim I imagine having me standing there holding their hand would feel like standing on one of those take-your-weight-off-and-it-explodes mines except this mine is sentient, looking at them, and a misanthropic asshole

Also there's no reason I couldn't use this on plants or animals and there's bacteria everywhere so if the power was active by default I'd never really need to eat or sleep (I'd still feel hungry and tired, I just wouldn't die from it) and I'd regenerate, maybe not as fast as wolverine but still it means nothing short of destroying every single living cell in my body would kill me.

 

[Pyropyro]

Power over time.

But Power = Work/ Time

 

[eagor]

Teleportation, but then i leave an exploded copy.

 

[ddspada]

Reading minds at will, telekinesis and shapeshifting come to mind.

It's not really a superpower, but I'd love to be able to clearly and accurately imagine 4+ dimensional space and 2+ dimensional time.

 

[computerhxr]

The power to punch people in the face over the internet.

 

[ABdrew]

lol, by reading this thread, i remember devil fruits power in one piece, and the first thing i want to attain is the power of controlling the placement and orientation of the objects inside, making myself a Free Modification Human haha

 

[Jennywocky]

To not be a complete loser and say, "Able to do anything," I'll put limits on it. I have the power to change my superpower on a daily basis.

Today I'd like to be able to fly.
Maybe tomorrow I'd like to be able to cook dinner without setting off the fire alarm.
Saturday, maybe observe singularities past the event horizon.
Sunday, it's "speed-read" day -- a book a minute, while retaining whatever I read.

 

[ddspada]

I'd like to be able to cook dinner without setting off the fire alarm.

Scratch everything I said. I want this superpower instead.

 

[StevenM]

Healing super-powers.

Yet, without it being known by anyone but myself. I heal in secret.

 

[RaBind]

Omnipotence, omniscience or omnipresence. They're all basically the same thing though.

 

[ABdrew]

Healing super-powers.

Yet, without it being known by anyone but myself. I heal in secret.

like Logan?

 

[StevenM]

like Logan?

No.

As in healing people suffering from incurable diseases.

Not a very INTP-like response, I know.

 

[ae1905]

easy: I'd want the power to make whatever I wish come true

 

[Pyropyro]

No.

As in healing people suffering from incurable diseases.

Not a very INTP-like response, I know.

So like the healing blood of X-Men's Archangel?

 

[ABdrew]

If I will have a power I would the power of self healing like Wolverine

 

[k9b4]

The power to have infinite powers.

 

[Pizzabeak]

Giant robot pilot with complementary espionage skills when not piloting giant robot
Some type of general telekinesis with general manipulation ability
or some general dark magic student/druid

 

[Direwolf]

Just realised i never said why.
Air- manipulate air to fly or to move objects like telekinesis
Water- could have somewhat control over weather by manipulating water in air
Earth- manipulate environment, maybe make a castle or somethin out of the earth maybe have control of plants, who knows
Fire- coz it wpuld be cool.

Why not control individual atoms instead so you can make anything you want with them? Or even better, control the particles and make any atom you wish to make

For me, I always thought about teleportation when it came about super powers.
If i had that ability, then all i needed was to buy a suit from nasa and i could begin exploring the world

 

[k9b4]

The power to have a smaller penis.

Would you be able to control your own atoms and move them to another place like it was teleporting? If so im changing to this because teleporting plus my powers would be awesome, i gues then you could heal and shapeshift couldnt you?

 

[Direwolf]

The power to have a smaller penis.

Hahaha nice. I have to say though your probably the first person to ever say that.

 

[z12]

Well, i don't think moving atoms would be 'teleporting' since you still have to move them by the physical laws. which means it won't be fast and you have to avoid obstacles. where 'teleportation' would make you just pop somewhere else.
Shapeshifting is interesting idea, but wouldn't it require dissecting your molecules first?
Then you wouldn't want to touch your brain and vital parts because that might make you unable to think (or however else you control your power) and therefore render your power useless. a.k.a stuck in whatever shape you are in forever (probably dead)

 

[onesteptwostep]

Have the power to go back in time, but also to come back to the main timeline without wrecking the others.

I want to see the consequences of all my actions. I could become an actor, a political figure, an intelligence agent, a leading scientist, a head of a multinational corporation.. etc.

Shapeshifting- wouldnt you just be able to manupulate the atome on the outside but leave the important bits alone?
Teleporting- i was originally talking about manipulating your atoms so it somehow allows you to teleport, i had good reasoning for this but cant remember but i suppose though if your moving everything you would lose yourself dince your brain would be split into atoms you wouldnt be able to rematerialiss. So i suppose thats out.

 

[k9b4]

The power to be less handsome so women will leave me alone.

 

[TheScornedReflex]

I'd want the super power to not OD on heroin. Permanent ecstasy, baby. Boom.

Yes, you can totally add another hand to yourself. but there are a lot more interesting stuff to do by manipulating atoms that you wouldn't even think about changing yourself.
I'd guess you can still move all your atoms as one piece a.k.a flying.
(or just turn graphite to diamonds and sell them, then buy a personal jet)

You sir, know your shit. I think ill just stick with mine you have had too much input into it that it would be your superpower, it wouldnt be right for me to take it.

 

[z12]

Yep, Just like a true INTP you'd like to stick to your own ideas
But it's okay. The rule of thumb is, don't limit yourself by others' imaginations.
Just gotta think outside the box here.. For example, if you want to shapeshift with atom bending superpower, all you need is create a copy of yourself and instruct it to shapeshift you to your liking (and then self destruct, or keep it around for double power. he is you anyway). There are way more interesting stuff that one can do with such ability.
I'm totally fine exploring the galaxies and alternate universes with my teleporting power (yeah, who'd waste teleportation power just to avoid traffics?)

 

[Brontosaurie]

to cause people to be unable to turn their eyes/face toward me, there will be sleep paralysis like muscular limitations and if they really push it, pitch black squares will cover me in their periphery

i cannot be looked at but everything will seem to revolve around me somehow. no overt display, just a psychic field manipulating their perceptions of agency, power etc. i will evoke the feel of a lingering predator and ominous, hollow music will play in their heads and mesh with input sounds. if this state is prolonged or if they make the mistake of focusing attention on it (i.e. if they slide into the black hole), they shall surrogate my conscience.
