Not one that I think I would actually want, but one I’ve thought a lot about is absolute bodily autonomy in the same way that you can control any aspect of your body consciously but without deliberate thought then it’ll default back to unconscious control. Want to grow taller? Start kicking that system back into drive. Want to lose weight? Start absorbing energy less efficiently or burning more calories fruitlessly. Have a random pain? Start to monitor that area and sensing for any particular anomalies.
If the control can go all the way down to the microscopic level then you’d be a walking advancement factory for every medical field. The primary issue would be trying to make practical recreations of the medicines and procedures you’d help create, and even then you could try bioengineering cells to recreate your medicines and procedures. You’d also likely be able to effectively never age by correcting the errors in your cell reproduction. With enough time and effort you could probably spawn a clone of yourself to go out and continue to help others.
If you allow the caveat that this also works on anyone/anything that you can touch, then the limit for what you can cure or at least aid with is bound only by what you can touch, analyze, and solve in time.
Technopathy. Being able to sense and manipulate electronics/electricity flows to “hack” computers and less smart hardware by waving my hands and “wishing” the outcome I wanted would make my life so much easier.
I could charge a good rate for my ability and my learnt knowledge as well take down huge tech companies.
Teleport. See the world, visit everywhere, without enduring planes,trains,cars , nipping home for a quick 15minute alone time and being able to sleep in my own bed every night.
This is the best super power hands down. If you get a space suit, you could even jump to the moon. And in a single night every despot and dictator could be dealt with.
Hmm. good thought.
This is the one. I hate driving, so taking the middle man out of traveling would make my life so much better. Being able to visit my family and then come back home to sleep? That would be the dream
Would be so cool to have personal sanctuary in the middle of the wilderness to relax at without the worry of how to I get back.
extreme cum
To be able to talk to animals. Really just so I can talk to my dog who is losing the ability to walk, so me and her vet can help her; where it hurts, are the drugs helping. So I know exactly what she needs and where she wants to go when she’s barking at me for help getting up and walking.
So I can explain to my boy dog why we don’t go on walks as often or as far, why he can’t rough house with her anymore.:(
Is third person empath a thing? Like being able to have what one person is experiencing be felt emotionally by another person? I would do that, then really fuck up the day of an ICE agent.
I’ve always liked the idea of time manipulation- stopping, starting, speeding up, slowing down, rewinding time. It has a lot of uses like giving me as much time as I need to get ready in the morning and doing good in the world in ways I won’t mention.
This is probably the best one.
Oh mine is very simple and not much to ask at all: I just want pure, unlimited, godlike omnipotence.
I promise to use it in every irresponsible way imaginable.
Hmm, reminds of this part of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory
At least you would be using it. (Ahem)
Objectively the correct answer.
We allready have one Stephen Fry
You would definitely enjoy Preacher. Graphic novels are great, show is better than ok.
Guy ends up gaining “the word of God” as an ability
Excellent!
Teleportation, no distance limit, and I can take others with me. For accuracy, I can “see” where I’m about to teleport to. First, I’m going to explore other planets with life, venturing into the universe for a few weeks. Then I’m going to move a few people off planet. Don’t worry, I’ll let them bring their money.
The ability to manipulate probability.
Get the green light, getting you some where on time. Somehow manage to tickets to a sold out concert. Boss just extended a deadline to allow you to get the work done. Score the prefect seats on an airplane. No delays when taking a train.
Be able to do stuff, at will.
[email protected] is leaking again
I feel personally attacked
Nothing personal, we’re all in this together. I’d take that power too.
Sounds op af
My farts would make people happy
I’m dying of laughter. God lol.
Basic telekenisis. I want to be able to move object(s) with my mind. This can include me, also giving me a base level of flight.
It would just be so convenient. Nothing is ever out of reach again.
Gaining energy going social activities not losing it
My answer to this question is always teleportation, including my clothes and anyone I’m touching (and their clothes). And the ability to not appear inside solid objects. No more traffic. No more passports or visas. No more long multi-hour drives or long haul flights.
Have fun figuring out the point of reference of your new powers. It would be hillarious if it was not the nearest grvitational well. Earth moves, the sun moves, our galaxy moves. Watch it be not the most obvious thing, and you teleport into empty space.
This flaw in teleportation logic hinges on the assumption that there is an absolute reference frame- which as far as I’m aware there isn’t. There is real science behind teleportation, and from what I’ve seen the frame of reference of the origin is what determines the endpoint. If you COULD manipulate the frame of reference as well, you could teleport a small rock an inch forward, but with the frame of reference of a near lightspeed object to create a crazy projectile.
Basically, you’d still need to follow the rules of conservation of momentum and energy, or it could be broken.
…and that always comes up as a response. Ok fine, I’ll add another line to the fine print: The ability to teleport at the exact place I want to be. If you want to counter that still, then make it places I’ve been to before. It will limit my destinations, but it still saves me time and effort. I’ve never been to France, but I’ve been to Germany, so that still reduces my travel from almost a day of flying and layovers to a train ride.
Place you want to be is a better caveat. Places you have been before is counterable with the original argument since when you account for space on a universal level every Place is a new place
Dude! Think bigger. Alien worlds.
You know the movie jumper?
at least in x-men they have limitations to that, where they also have added ability to sense where they are teleporting is filled space or not. not in the comics but blink the portal creator can sense dimensional distorstions too.
