Which Superhero(ine) Power Would You Most Like to Have - Page 2

mjh215 · 04-01-2009, 11:08 AM

Phasing isn't listed, an insult to the one X-men character named after a real person.

I'd also consider Sage's computer-like mental abilities.

BTW I couldn't help be reminded of this;

"Wow, that's a great question.
A tough one, though.
What does one gauge
his response on?
Physical prowess?
Keen detection skills?
The ability to banter well
with super villains?"

No kidding! Music, unread MR threads, ebooks - who's got the strength to overcome those when it's only 1 am?

With metamorphosis and a mirror, you wouldn't ever have to look at erotic photos/videos again

.

And you're 5 pounds heavier? Just metamorph a little bit.

You're an actor? Then you're perfect to play many roles. Even in the same movie!

Your chair is too uncomfortable? Just mold yourself to it.

With metamorph, you can emulate every and each power in the poll too!

So vote for Metamorphosis! :P

I have decided to aid my fellow man with... Elemental Controlle--olle-olle!

I will go forth and mitigate all weather disasters... bring rain to the deserts and arid lands... reverse global warming... reduce the mighty floods... turn rusted metals in landfills to fresh new steel... breakdown all plastic refuse to mulch... re-orient oil so it burns clean as hydrogen... no, wait, I'll just make hydrogen easy to capture by waving a thermos through the air... yeah! Yeah, that's the ticket!

Then, it's on to converting all the nuclear waste to oats, barley and hops... party at my place tonight! I'm supplying the beer! The excess carbon in the atmosphere is now... ozone! Enough to plug the hole! (Wherever it is this week.)

What's left? Oh: I'm turning this spam into... steak! And that filet'o'fish into... steak! And these old tires into... tube steak! and...

I'd like to have the ability to look sexy in a patriotic tankini while deflecting bullets with my magic golden bracelets.

We'd all like you (or, for that matter, anyone at all!) to have that ability...

And just who would be shooting bullets at that smiley face?

(You live in Alabama, you say? OK. I'll grant you that dressed in a patriotic tankini and golden bracelets, maybe you'd be mistaken (by your countrymen) for a Yankee.)

Powers granted, if it were up to me.

I picked Animal power...but it's really because as a child I was Spiderman mad! I had Spiderman pyjamas, a spiderman bike, even spiderman underwear (should have kept that, damn

)

RickyMaveety · 04-01-2009, 06:37 PM

I picked everything except leaping forum threads in a single bound, because I already do that pretty damn well.

Falbe Publishing · 04-01-2009, 06:44 PM

I went for telepathy and flight. Flight was my first choice until I saw telepathy. The concept of reading other people's minds and possibly being about to control them with my mental powers is very appealing. Such powers would make motherhood easier.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 04-01-2009, 07:08 PM

I... wanna be... anarchy!

Although I voted for more mundane things like flight (so real life could be more like my dreams), telepathy, elemental control and leaping forums in a single bound (one click leaping - imagine!)

Stitchawl · 04-01-2009, 08:07 PM

Hmm... this is difficult, but only because I already HAVE all of these powers.

Maybe what I need is the power to function within reality?
