Default what's your favorite superpower ?

here's a fun and interesting question,

" If you had the option to choose one superpower,
what would you choose and why ?"

personallly i would choose the power of flight, because i could then be able to fly to other countries free, also i would never be stuck in traffic, experience road rage, risk being in an accident, or having to save up for a car. or whenever i feel depress i can go fly around for a while like superman.

i've read from other forums and found that the two most popular superpowers are flight and mind-control. so post your favorite superpower.

p.s. phasing is the ability to go through solid objects like a wall,

Invisibility ! I would take a plane without tickets and go anywhere; Disney World for free ! No line-ups in attractions. Phasing and invisibility together would be perfect to stay in hotels... Now, have to find a superpower to be able to eat for free in restaurants !

I'm happy it does not exist... I don't want invisible people in my bathroom while I'm taking a shower !

Default getting it done

I used to wish I had the ability to be in more than one place at once. Now I wish that thinking about something would get it done. I’m notorious for procrastination. I’ll say to myself, “Gee, I’ve thought about doing [fill in your least favorite chore] three times today and still haven’t done it yet!”

Superhuman reflexes would be an awesome superpower to have... but I'm afraid it would have to be superspeed for me. Imagine how much I could accomplished in the day. Personal Growth on steriods

I think telekinesis would be awesome. I could get the kids their third glass of juice without having to leave the couch.

Flight would be cool but you'd have to keep it so secret. Maybe with invisibility as a combination, that would be cool.

Default Mind Control - the only way to go

Because with MindControl you can achieve all the other powers or make use of someone else who has them.

yeah, most people choose mind control, it seems like the ultimate superpower, but i think the ultimate superpower is the ability to mimic other superpowers, so then i can copy superspeed, flight, invulnerablility only seeing someone doing it just once, i might lose to mindcontrol if they target me before i get to mimic that ability.

i wonder what steve's favorite superpower,

Default Shapeshifting

Its definitely shapeshifting for me. I'm a quadruple Gemini and I have to change everything, all the time, so I'd always be changing my appearance.

I'd also like to change into the shape of some influential politician (or eight) and do some good for a change.

Phasing! Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Just dropping in." It's especially awesome combined with flight, or at least some kind of feather fall... to save a lot of bruising, falling through floors.

nice, its seems like alot of people wish they have telekinesis, mind control or teleportation more than the other powers. But it seems having one power isn't really enough for most of us, we rather have a combination to be fully handy.

Invulnerability would be awesome

Similar to wolverine in the Xmen but better as you cant be hurt in the first place

Also a live forever/never aging power would be cool too

I think you guys have forgotten the real ultimate superpower... wich is superintelligence

With enough intelligence i could be able to have any of the superpowers above, i would just have to figure a way to create the technology to get the powers, and whats intelligence besides being able to find solutions to problems?

lol, no when you phase you probably become like a ghost image, they can see you even in the day. If you decide to do hero work, i'd hate to encounter you as a criminal, lol.

I know this thread is old but anyway. I think i would like several powers:

1. Teleportation: The ability to be where i want when i want. Teleportation is even better than flight because you don't have to travel through space. This means that even if you are caged in prison or in a closed psychiatric ward under heavy supervision, you can just teleport out of there.

2. Superstrength and invulnerability which i think are one of the same ability.

3. Invisibility: The ability to turn invisible.

4. Force fields: The ability to create strong undestrutable force-fields which surround people or objects and trap people within them like a cage or prison.

5. Light manipulation: Actually contains several abilities.

A. The ability to absorb, store and process light and use the energy to fly at the speed of light and create bursts of light.

B. The capability of manipulating light externally to create brilliant concussive blasts, focused columns of radiant heat, lasers, holograms and even solid light constructs as well as render yourself invisible.

C. The ability of converting your body completely into light energy. No physical harm can come to you in this form.

D. The ability to turn your body into a living laser light.

In my dreams it happens that I use "flight", "telekinesis", sometimes "teleportation" and "time travel" (mostly to fix things I did wrong, or restart the dream). What I find surprising is that in some of my dreams (even non-lucid ones) it seems very normal to me to have these powers.
It also sometimes happen to me to concentrate myself like I do in my dreams, but in the real world... but nothing happens

I voted teleportation. That'd be so cool. Teleportation would be cool to go anywhere in the world, or universe for that matter, instantaneously.

Telekinesis would be my second choice I think.

Time travel most definitely, because you can do some pretty incredible stuff with time travel, alter entire time lines and all that, what is cooler than that?

I fully agree with Andrew for being able to stop time for everyone but myself. I overruled this with time travel.
I would love to be able to go back in time and have a word with myself. Also the old "I wish there were two of me". I could time travel back in time and help my younger self with tasks.
