Your 3 superpowers?

[mgargan1]

If you could have 3 super powers what would they be? Mine would be: 1. Total Time control (kind like Zack Morris in Saved By the Bell), 2. Be able to teleport (kinda like Night Crawler), and 3. Be able to speak every single language on the planet fluently.

[coopdog]

Thoes would be mine also.

[scem0]

1. The ability to be happy whenever I liked. And a non-superficial happiness.
2. Time control I guess - I mean, who wouldn't want that? :confused:;)
3. The ability to have anything I wanted whenever I wanted it.

scem0

[rainman::|:|]

ability to fly. ability to set fires with my mind. or, telekenesis, if you include telepyrokenesis in that. and the ability to kill people with my mind, tho again that may be covered under TK.

i wouldn't want teleportation or time-control, you have to follow *some* rules, or it would just be boring.

paul

[3rdpath]

1) ability to fly
2) invisibility
3) ability to time travel

of course, tequila has given me all of those abilities at one time or another...;)

[Gymnut]

Superhuman strength followed by flying. Somewhere in between the ability to see through women's clothings...;)

[G5orbust]

Borrowing from my new favorite manga, Naruto:

1) Sharingan (the ability to see and copy any person's movements. Also give the ability to do mind tricks.)

2) Kage Bushin no Jutsu

3) Super strength!

[Gymnut]

Yeah it was often wondered how many beer(s) it would take to travel back in time. I believe the jury is still out...;)

[Megaquad]

1) shape-shifting, like those aliens in star trek
2) invisibility, including clothes on me ;)
3) mind reading or telekynesis

Now that would be kickass.

[maradong]

1. be able to fly.
2. be able to help any person on this planet in means of acquiring food / health ( dunno how to formulate that )
3. teleporting would be cool as well ;-)

[Sabenth]

1 The Power of Speed Faster than light - this means move dam fast

2 The Power to controll anyting nature has - This would mean wind earth Fire Water Electricical

3 The Power of Mind Controll - Been able to move anything controll anyone and well just do antying you wanted or produce anything you wanted without any hassels


These powers are of course maybe used for evil too so all's fair in my world

[krossfyter]

1) the power to be able to mimick any superpower ever thought of.

2) NA

3)NA


man i just screwed it up huh? !


;)

[pivo6]

1) Run at the speed of light. Flying is fine, unless you get airsick, then it's a complete mess.

2) Ability to speak in any language

3) Invisibility

[Stelliform]

there it is

my #1 Control minds and you can have people move dates for you, (who needs time traverl) not give you any work ... give you lots of money for doing nothing

you can convince people to do with things that other superpowers are limited too

super strength? have someone move stuff for you, see through women's cloths? how about to convince them to take their cloths off?

although flying would be cool, convince airplanes to let you fly for free and government let you land anywhere

who needs to stop bullets when you can convince them not to shoot you in the first place

yes mind control is where it is at ...or more accuratly .. UNQUESTIONABLE POWER OF PERSUASION ... LOL

[iGav]

I'd settle for the ability to heal.

[iAmAzN]

1. ability to fly

2. Invincibility (is this really a super power?)

2b. The power to not feel pain

3. Regenerative body (like the hulk)

=D

[mgargan1]

mind control would be nice... "doooon't buy that dell computer..." **with a wave of the hand like a jedi knight**

[ExoticFish]

1. freeze time
2. mind control
3. invisibility

[revenuee]

Since i only listed one (mind control)

2. also the regeneration power like Wolverine, stay young for a long, long time.

i gotta think about my third one

[eyelikeart]

1) regeneration
2) ability to read minds
3) strength

[neut]

1. perfect memory

2. ability to exist (and function) in multiple dimensions

3. ability to learn/understand/teach anything and everything


anything is possilble...



peace.

[blueflame]

1: shapeshifting
I would just love to be able to be in someone elses shoes, to change into them and see how people react, it is something that i tink i would never get tired of
2: teleportation
oh crap, i have to take a piss in the middle of the night, poof! im at the toilet, poof, im back in bed
3: time travel
Who doesnt want this, need i say more

[Geetar]

1. Immortality
2. Omnipresence
3. Omniscience


This all sounds vaguely familiar..........

[Roger1]

LOL Yeah, I want that for my wife too! I wonder if it's too late to add to my Christmas wish list? :D Of course I would need that super power, also. (Hmmm, husband turns into Ken Wahl for the evening. Dynamite luvin' follows. cool: )

Second superpower. Flight. I get tired of driving to work.

Third: strength would be good.

[Macpoops]

Mind control... Simple enough. I'd be able to make people think i could do all the other stuff you talk about. Plus i'd be able to get what i want ll the time.

[OutThere]

Ideal:
The ability to acquire any super power at will. For example, think: "teleportation...teleportation..." then have teleportation until you want something else.

Otherwise:
Invisibility
Shapeshifting/Body Changing
Mind Reading/ESP

[Thanatoast]

There's something to be said for mind control, and then again, there's something not. If you always had the option of getting people to do whatever you wanted, wouldn't you get bored after a while? Never any arguments, never any struggle. If someone annoyed you you could make them jump in a lake. Which is funny the first twelve times, I suppose. No mind control would breed laziness and ruthlessness. It's not for me.

Now telekinesis, with a high degree of power and control, could be fun. You've already obviously got the power of flight. Also, super-strength. Just grab the car with your hand and lift with your mind. You've also got invulnerability. Simply stop the air molecules around you from moving. Boom - instant invisible shield. Bullets hit it and bounce off. Or I suppose you could just stop the bullets themselves. The fun part is, this all requires mental effort and precision. You'd have to train your mind to be able to do all these things, instead of having them just be.

Mind reading might not be too bad. You'd still have to persuade people, but you'd definitely have an advantage, assuming you don't give yourself away. If you used that power too freely people would get pissed at you, and probably hostile. And I certainly wouldn't want to get on the freeway during rush hour. :)

[scem0]

The ability to read a book just by looking at it. Step into a library and do a 360° turn and be 600x smarter.... sounds good to me. ;)

I'd rather have that than time control. Time control could very well ruin a life.

scem0

[wdlove]

1. Bring inner peace
2. Bring Love to fellow man
3. Bring joy

[mischief]

1: Reality distortion. This one STARTS at the Matrix Neo level and goes up from there.

2: Telekewhatsis. See Phoenix from the X-Men.

3: Tele-Systemic. Mystic systems analysis for artifice and biology. Diagnose and fix ANYTHING.

[Sabenth]

Get board of it you have to be joking ???

think of all those people who would have Macs ....:D

[Jagga]

This is a cool thread.

strange powers mentioned. For instance ability to control nature; would in effect bind you to nature - poisons pollution would affect you as well no?? or may weaken your powers no??

Ability to travel faster than the speed of light would in essence start to make you younger as well as travel backwards in time. This could turn you into your daddy's little skirt, no?LOL.

Now the abiliity to become invisible, some of us since grade school have been able to do that on a regular basis. Some people aren't as popular or fashionable as others nor as great conversationalist, and thus just disappear in a crowd.

Now telekinesis is what I also wish for.

Time travel, and controlling time, not for me. Living for ever is just like dying for some of us that are "invisible" to most others.

[Doctor Q]

I am certainly not going to waste my superpower wishes frivolously, as some of you have!

1. The ability to open envelopes without getting an occasional papercut.

2. The ability to remember to show my discount card when I make a purchase at Best Buy.

3. The ability to say Save As instead of Save when I open an old document to make a new document that's a variation of it.

Now we're talkin' superpowers!

man, you always make me feel guilty for wanting superficial powers... :p

so... wdlove can get those, and since those are already taken, i'll use...

1. flying
2. healing/regeneration thing or whatever- but i can help other people too when i touch them... like the xman girl and wolverine or something...
3. smartness

:D

[Awimoway]

[list=1]
Omniscience

Ex nihilo creative powers

Spacetime travel ;)

[/list=1]

[MrMacMan]

1) Creation of Objects out of Air. A la 'Power ring' Or 'Mind Powers'. (Example, Green Lantern)

2) Super Speed. *Not Like Flash* Flash is fast with his feet, I'm talking about feet, fists and brains.

3) The ability to spead Joy. Happyness, Love or otherwise. A feeling of good.

They can't hit me cause I'm fast... I make people feel good... and I can create stuff out of nothing...

:D

[TEG]

Mine would be...

1) Shape Shifting (Like Odo in DS9, but with more ability)

2) The ability to speak with and understand every creature in the universe, even Democrats, and communcate with computers as though they were people (Much better than talking with humans, humans are boring sometimes)

3) All the knowledge that ever existed in the universe and beyond.

TEG

[topicolo]

1) Jedi Force Powers (Especially Jedi Mind Tricks)

2) Have no need for sleep, food, water, or air

3) Immortality

Heheh... With these powers, I can just launch myself at the nearest star system and arrive in about 300,000 years--just in time to use my Jedi Force Powers.

[Frozone]

1 - The ability to fly. I always thought it would be cool to be able to just walk out into the yard and just take off into the air.

2 - The ability to move things with my mind. Man, how I would love to just be able to concentrate and then have all of the pecan's sitting out in the orchard rise up and come fall in my bucket!

3 - The ability to freeze. Like Iceman from X2. I've always been fasinated(SP) with ice and being able to freeze what I want or create walls of ice would kick @$$!

[mgargan1]

actually that's a good idea, not needing food, sleep, water or air. But I like eating, so I dunno if I would totally give up eating... and sleep just feels soo good. So I dunno if I'd wanna completely give that up as well. But as for water and air, they're just overrated. :)

[mgargan1]

oh yea, and mind control would be sweet too cause if you think about it, sex for women is very mental, (it's physical too), but they (most of them) have to be in the mood, and have to be there mentally to finish **if you know what i mean**... anyway... mind control could make them do that all the time... ;) (kinda like the french guy who makes the hot girl eat that chocolate cake in the Matrix)

I think for most things mental suggestion is as far as you'd want to go. Otherwise you'd be too focussed on controlling the other person and lose track of your own activities. This is not the ideal situation in intercourse.;)

Better to broadcast your own "fun" and get a kind of feedback loop going. "Mind Control" is overrated. It takes too much concentration.

But with mind control. you could just give the command ahead of time, and have it stay active for howeverlong you need it.

I would probably choose:

Mind Control
Telekenesis
Controlling Time

the process of implanting a behaviour is called mental conditioning. the process of implanting a triggerable event is called Programming or, in the vernacular: brainwashing.;)

And the process of making someone do something against their will is called puppeteering. Suddenly I feel like watching Being John Malkovich. :cool:

[MrMacMan]

Most of your super powers take the fun out of life...

Mind Control...
Controling Time...

Come on Guys... What gives, do you need to have perfect lives?

Immortality

I have a problem with Immortality... You always live... But what if you want to die huh?

What gives?

Someone just tortures you for ever... and ever... Do you want to live?
NO!
But because of your Immortality... you always live... Blah.

See all of your loved ones die... and family and friends... Bah.

Anyone who wished for Immortality
Think about it.

[revenuee]

There we go

my third power

Immortality ...

ya i thought about it ... it works for me ...

[Phil Of Mac]

1. Immortality.
2. Incredible martial arts capability, with the ability to focus and slow down time (from my perspective, not absolutely). Matrix-style capability to an unlimited extent.
3. The ability to summon any material object into existence.

[MrMacMan]

I'm so glad revenuee and Phil Of Mac listened to me.

You don't want to live forever!

Trust me, see Millennium Man (robbin williams, not his best roll however).

Atleast get Invulnerability (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Invulnerability) ... Come on!

You could be Tourtured FOREVER, but you wouldn't die.

What is there NOT to get about that?

[Phil Of Mac]

If I was invulnerable there would be no fun left, would there?

[mgargan1]

if you were invulnerable, then you could compete in all the boxing, and contact sports you wanted to, cause you could just tire out your opponent, and not even get hurt... it would be kinda sweet...

[Phil Of Mac]

Well, I asked for a supernatural level of martial arts ability anyway...

[mgargan1]

true...

[Flowbee]

1) The ability to fly.

2) The ability to become invisible.

3) The ability to find a job.

[Wardofsky]

Damnit I'm late with every thread these days...

1. Flying around would be cool, but I'd probably get shot down by some hunter...
2. Mind powers (You know the list).
3. Hmmm, maybe regeneration?
Maybe even the ability to understand PHP coding...

and wdlove I think has the best choice of powers :)

[jeff.macaddict]

is it cheating if I say I want the ability to give myself any ability i want?

This goes along side my thing about genies. Three wishes. So wish for unlimited wishes! :D:cool:

[Megaquad]

Imagine if you have immortality... 5000 years later, humanity destroyed by comet which caused atmosphere to be burned out.
You would be last human living in extreme torturing and without air.. forever! It's what I call hell..

Be immortal would get boring after a few thousand years, plus people could still kill you, you just cant die naturally. Because you can live forever, you might not be bothered to do anything, as you can always do it later. So you end up not doing anything, until the Earth ends in 1million years time (when Sun explodes).

I would have:

- Being able to fly
- Super strength
- Being able to create worm holes

[Doctor Q]

There was a hilarious X-Files episode (one of the few I'd call hilarious) where a genie grants wishes and a stupid man uses one of his wishes to bring his brother, who was hit by a car and killed, back to life. The wish is granted, but his brother is still mangled and in pain, and he screams as soon as he's brought back to life.

Use your wishes carefully, my friends!

That is always good advice Doctor Q. Be careful what you wish for, it might just be granted.

[Abdesai]

1. Infinite Intelligence

[jeff.macaddict]

I thought that if you were immortal, you couldn't die, but you would keep getting older and older. Maybe wishing for keeping you ~25 year old physical self for eternity.

I'm not sure if immortallity protects you from dying from just natural causes or what, exactly.

[Phil Of Mac]

By immortality, eternal youth is generally understood. But I'll state it here that eternal youth is a condition of my immortality.

[g4pismo]

how about immortality until another immortal cuts your head off? that would be an easy fix...

I beg to differ. To rephrase it, if "mortality is what some say makes us human," then to lose that mortality, some would lose the very essence of what makes them human.


Although personally, I think death is vastly underrated. I've seen old age. I watched my grandmother wither away for 10 lonely years before she died. I want no part of that. Pass the cheese-fried pork skins. ;)

Nah, mortality doesn't make us human. Everything's mortal. Mortality wouldn't make us uniquely.

One day I will die. As one day we all will.

However it appears that you are affraid of that, and wish to fight off the enivatable.

The ability to directly contact any supreme (God, Allah, etc.) deity directly. I want answers dang it!
To be able to tap into the collective knowledge of the world and know everything that everyone else knows. Which includes filtering the BS from the facts.
The ability to morph myself into any living thing. (Animal or person.)

I don't think life should be so predictable. So I'll take flying, immortality, and omniscience, and then I'll trade them all for what's behind door #3!

2. Power to change the shape and characteristics of other people and items.

Or, if you were distracted for a minute and--oops, too late, everyone is dead--you could just reacreate them. And you could leave off the ones who annoyed you, like Michael Jackson and every reality show producer on the planet. It's not murder if they're already dead. ;)

[atszyman]

1. The ability to turn people's blinkers on and off in traffic.
2. The ability to write bug free and syntax error free code;
3. The ability to sense internal logic signals on ICs without any special equipment to find flaws in my logic designs easier. (2. will get the code functioning as I intended, 3. will tell me where the flaw in my logic is)

and FLYING!!! I'd fly to so many awesome places.

[nospleen]

1) ability to fly
2) invisibility
3) ability to time travel

of course, tequila has given me all of those abilities at one time or another...;)

That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. LMFAO.

[atszyman]

Yeah it was often wondered how many beer(s) it would take to travel back in time. I believe the jury is still out...;)

Somewhere around 12 will cover traveling forward in time by large gaps. I know this from personal experience. I believe it can be proven scientifically that these forward jumps will cancel out all of the backward jumps and the best you can do is to stop time, although it requires a perpetual keg stand.

Funny story about time control right. I was sitting in my biology lecture one day zoning out because I hate it, and I thought "How funny would it be to stop time, take off everyone's shoes, and put then on their desk right infront of them" That's what I would use my time control for.

I was thinking about the kidneys thing, and I would prefer livers, because I drink a lot, but that's not my super power.

Anyway, super powers.
Time control as well, in a Twilight Zone kinda way.
Invisibility
Teleportation

Yeah. I think that's it. But I'd be totally evil about it and rob banks and stuff. Except with the time thing. I'd just mess with people's heads.

But, I use this question a lot on first dates... hmm, i wonder why i don't get too many seconds? Oh, and by the way, if you have telekenesis, then you can move yourself as well and that takes care of flying (thanks Jean Grey)

[clayj]

Let's see...

1. Eternalness (combination of immortality + immorbidity + indestructability... live forever without aging and without being able to be killed).

2. Realtime ability to edit reality at the quantum level, so as to be able to change the laws of physics as I wish or change anything in the Universe (except for the human mind).

3. Ability to open quantum wormholes through spacetime, so that I could see any location and time in the universe, past or present (but not future)... I'd like to be able to see exactly how things played out in the past.

[katie ta achoo]

Am I allowed to change mine?

I want to replace the growing kidneys one with being able to walk in heels without killing myself or my feet.

That'd probably be more useful than kidneys any day... I've been stone-free for a few years, so I think I'm good. :)

[ZoomZoomZoom]

1. Web-slinging. Because spiderman is beyond cool. I wouldn't really use it, though, except to decorate at halloween parties and such. And maybe as a party trick.

2. Shapeshifting. Change into Steve, walk into Apple headquarters, and come out with the G5 laptop that is rightfully mine.

3. Superhuman speed(with stamina). So I can get to my classes on time, wake up my roommates by creating sonic booms, and indirectly get other abilities like walking on water.

I wouldn't want to be able to mind read. It would be dsturbing to enter the mind of a man, seeing as we supposely think about sex every 6 seconds. And entering the mind of a woman would over-complicate me and probably give me a brain hernia.

[jalagl]

1) ability to fly
2) invisibility
3) ability to time travel

of course, tequila has given me all of those abilities at one time or another...;)

HAHAHA!!!!.. I have a friend of mine that says that drinking a particular brand of tequila (Monte Alban or something like that) gives her super powers, since no man is able to resist her at that point.. ;)

As for mine, they would be:


Mind Control
Telekinesis
Fast speed/reflexes


1st runner up: Ability to keep myself awake in meetings, specially on the afternoon.

[atszyman]

I see that atszyman stole your power. ;)


Well technically I didn't bring it back, that honor belongs to nbs2.

I evidently have the ability to be blindingly oblivious to post dates so as not to realize when a thread is resurrected, of course maybe that is my weakness.

[jsw]

Obviously, my super-weakness is the inability to properly read post dates as well. ;)

[iDM]

1. Touch any book or article and be able to retain all of it's information(the possibilities for this are endless, language, knowledge, war & peace tactics, kuma sutra)
2. Be able to fly
3. Be able to point at someone and change their destiny......paris hilton....boom your poor.......Gandhi......boom your now in charge of the world..........Bob Marley........Boom your in charge of narotics....George Bush......boom you now live in the projects.....Dick Cheney......boom your now my housekeeper......i think you get the point

Edit: JSW that girl in you 'tar is smokin who is she? Hopefully you don't respond before i have to go to class cause, well you know

[jsw]

Google "Melissa Theuriau".

Sorry if this, er, came too early.

[iAlan]

1,2 and 3 - the ability to make wishes come true. End of story.

eg: I wish I knew every language in the world...paching
eg: I wish I knew the numbers for the next super-duper-mega-million-dollar lottery...paching
eg: I wish food, shelter and security were available for those in need...paching
eg: I wish that the world could support it's population and that people lived a productive and contributory life...paching
eg: and so on...

Oh, one more...I wish apples grew on trees...I mean "Apple's"


:p

[zelmo]

Mind control. I'd bend people to my will to end war and, uh, do some other stuff. ;)

Wolverine-like recuperative abilities. I don't want to live forever, but it'd be nice to live a long time and still stay very healthy and young.

Fly.

[dansuz1]

Mine would be;

1) Ability to speak any language/dialect I want - perfectly

2) Be the greatest singer/writer/dancer/etc.. ever

3) The ability to implement world peace, elimate poverty and ignorance and give everyone a source of unlimited, renewable, eco-friendly fuel.

Oh.. and the ability to lose 20 pounds.

:p

I have changed my mind...

1. USA
2. China
3. Russia

Hee Hee :p

[Zaid]

I'd have to go with

1. Telekenesis
2. Telepethy
3. The ability to absorb other people's super powers [evil laugh] muhaha [/evil laugh]

With that mix i'll hunt down your mutant asses and absorb your powers [evil laugh] muhaha [/evil laugh] and then rule the world !! :D :D

[watcher2001]

1: The ablility to teleport anywhere

2: The ability to "Shape Shift" into any form. Kinda like a cross between "Mystique" from the x-men and Odo from Star Trek DS9

3: Immortality.

[mad jew]

These would be my super powers.

I'd be able to create corn chips out of sand. I love corn chips.
I'd be able to run selected Windows apps on OSX at native speed.
I'd be able to quit work and frolic in the hills with Maria von Trapp.

[MongoTheGeek]

1) Seeing the future, not just the urgent parts or the relevant parts. All of it. At will.
2) Seeing through stuff (once again at will. What fun is it to look through a painting, or through walls if you end up looking through what's behind them.
3) Licking my eyebrows.

[Jaffa Cake]

To be honest, I'd forgo the super powers so long as I can be the pilot of a giant kung-fu fighting robot. Your namby-pamby powers of flight and the like won't do you any good when you're in my vice-like metallic grip.

Muh-wah-ha-ha-ha!

[AmericanIdiot12]

1. control peoples actions

2. read minds

3. teleport/fly

[stonyc]

I'd have to go with

1. Telekenesis
2. Telepethy
3. The ability to absorb other people's super powers [evil laugh] muhaha [/evil laugh]

With that mix i'll hunt down your mutant asses and absorb your powers [evil laugh] muhaha [/evil laugh] and then rule the world !! :D :D
1. Invisibility
2. Telepathy (Mind Control/Mind Reading)
3. The ability to block other super-people from absorbing my super powers [eyes Zaid suspiciously] Take that! [/eyes Zaid suspiciously]

[Flowbee]

1) The ability to fly.

2) The ability to become invisible.

3) The ability to find a job.

I know it's bad form to quote yourself (especially after nearly 2 years), but I just wanted to let everyone know that I did, in fact, find a job about 2 weeks after posting this. :cool:

With any luck, I'll be invisible by mid November.

[iDM]

Google "Melissa Theuriau".

Sorry if this, er, came too early.

I have officially changed all of my superpowers after seeing this web pages (Thanks jsw)

1. I want to be a full time trophy husband for Melissa Theuriau
2. Make Melissa Theuriau mine
3. Give her foot messages

She is gorgeous i'd even go as far as to say she's in a tie with my favorite girl Elizabeth Hurley

Ok so now i'll change my superpowers again instead of foot massages, it will be to go to bed every night with those two women at my side.

[mad jew]

3. Give her foot messages


Permission to interpret freely?

[iDM]

Permission to interpret freely?

Granted, i would do things borderline illegal and immoral with these women and I already barely have any morals.

[mad jew]

I like your thinking. :D

[Blue Velvet]

My three super-powers?

1. The ability to retrieve immediately and at will, any object I'm looking for in my bag.

2. A gentle force field that would enable me to glide effortlessly through the crowded Underground on my way home from work.

Now this is difficult... could be a form of housework telekinesis but I'll settle for:

3. An uncanny and infallible knack of finding shoes that fit perfectly and look great within seconds of going into a shoe shop.

[jdechko]

1) The ability to fly.
2) The ability to surf the net/watch tv/watch movies mentally, without being wired up.... you'd never be bored again... imagine meetings... :D
3) The ability to control time: Go back in time, slow down time, speed up time.

[Stampyhead]

1) ability to fly
2) invisibility
3) ability to time travel

Ditto for me.

[mgargan1]

okay, so with Heroes now on... any new ideas?

Hiro totally has Zach Morris's power. That Hanna girl's power is awesome too, along with Micha's.

[xtopher]

1 super stretchy penis
2 ability to fall aseep anywhere
3 ability so i never have to pee

[dukebound85]

1 super stretchy penis
2 ability to fall aseep anywhere
3 ability so i never have to pee

haha awesome

mine are (well wishes)

1) to become a prince
2) to become prince again after my wish of having jasmine fall in love with me failed

3)free my genie



but really in terms of powers

1)morph into anything
2) time travel and become a billionaire
3) control minds lol

[erickkoch]

1. Ability to eat anything I want without gaining weight.

2. Ability to guess the age and weight of anybody just by looking at them.

3. Ability to understand women.

Worst - superpowers - ever!

[iAlan]

The ability to resurect really old threads -- wait, that one is taken...

[giganten]

The ability to resurect really old threads -- wait, that one is taken...

Haha :D


I would go for:

1) regeneration
2) invisibility
3) Teleporting

[BoyBach]

1. Telekinesis.

2. The ability to be able to wear your underwear on top of tights and to still be taken seriously as a crime fighter.

3. Err...

:cool:

[Queso]

What a great idea for a thread :)

1) Teleport - Obviously anywhere in the universe would be good, although you'd need to know what the conditions are where you're going, hence #2
2) Omniscience about any one subject whilst concentrating - Know the consequences of own actions, what others are thinking, where bad things are happening, and conditions at teleport destination. Only when concentrating though. Everyone needs a night off.
3) Manipulate any matter within a certain range. Harden own body to invincibility level, break/destroy weapons/vehicles of adversaries, heal others, fix stuff just by concentrating on how to fix it then manipulating the atoms to a fixed state etc.

Those just about cover it I think.

[MP4-22]

My three superpowers would be...

1. To control time.

2. Make anything I want appear.

3. To become invisible.

[atszyman]

The ability to resurect really old threads -- wait, that one is taken...

For the second time....

[skunk]

The ability to tell if an object is upright or level to within a gnat's whisker
The ability to do without sleep, food, clothes and footwear
The ability to find my way without ever asking for directions

Those are the superpowers I already have. I don't really need any more.

[noaccess]

1. Ability to eat anything I want without gaining weight.

2. Ability to guess the age and weight of anybody just by looking at them.

3. Ability to understand women.

Worst - superpowers - ever!

Worst? Nahhh, the first one's brilliant! I'd love that. :D

Aside from that, I'd go with telekinesis and being able to turn happy (the ultra-peaceful, relaxed type) , energetic, friendly anytime I want, no matter what.

[ToddW]

1: Use of 'The Force' (Star Wars)
2:
3:

What else would you need


the whole jedi thing would allow you to do anything, pretty much!

[Doctor Q]

Wouldn't we all like to start life over again but retain the knowledge we have now? We'd know all the right choices to make!

Hmm.... on second thought, it wouldn't work. We'd be labeled precocious, skip primary school, and go straight to college, so it wouldn't really be living our same lives over again. And it would be starting in 2007, not when we were born, so the world around us would be different.

And even if you stuck to your original life in the original years, as soon as you made one different decision based on your extra knowledge, that would change your path, so your other memories might not apply. And if you stepped on (or didn't step on) a butterfly, MacRumors might never exist!

[emw]

And it would be starting in 2007, not when we were born, so the world around us would be different.Yes, so the knowledge not to invest in a Betamax would be useless. As would knowing that Bridgett Jefferies (no, not her real name) from high school would have slept with me, since she'd be 55 by the time it would help me.

As for my superpowers:

1) True Multi-tasking. I'd like to be able to focus on work as well as post here.

2) Able to withstand both extreme heat and extreme cold without adverse physical problems.

3) Empath. You know, like the one in Star Trek where she can take other peoples' maladies and then "repairs" herself.

[4nr-]

1. Freeze and unfreeze everything, including time. Except for myself that is.
2. Fly
3. To be able to say "no", I consider that a superpower

[MongoTheGeek]

1) True Multi-tasking. I'd like to be able to focus on work as well as post here.

2) Able to withstand both extreme heat and extreme cold without adverse physical problems.

3) Empath. You know, like the one in Star Trek where she can take other peoples' maladies and then "repairs" herself.

These 3 are so me. Not quite to the super power level and not as much as they used to be but I can run separate tasks with each hand and focus on multiple tasks. Not perfectly but fairly well.

Hot and cold tolerance aren't what they used to be, but I still fly bacon with my bare fingers and pull single strands of spaghetti out of a pot. No more walking barefoot in the snow sadly.

As for the empath... Well not so much. Good at sensing where the problem is but not beyond that.

I miss being tough.

[Mr. Durden]

1. Flight
2. Super Speed
3. Super Strength

[AliensAreFuzzy]

Mine would probably be:

1) Jedi power (with a light saber, of course)
2) Fly (Superman style, no worries about lack of Oxygen, G-forces, etc.)
3) Teleportation (kinda like a better version of Night Crawler's)

[dartzorichalcos]

I would want:
1. Invisibility
2. Turn smaller in size
3. Ability to fly

[wongulous]

1. Shapeshifting ability
2. Ability to slow down time for everyone and everything else
3. Longer lifespan (500, 600 years? I dunno.)

[MACDRIVE]

1) I wish I had a giant penis that would get a powerful erection extremely fast and work like a demolition hammer.

2) I wish I had a giant penis that would maintain extraordinary hydraulic pressure for extended hours at a time and have these enormous bulging blood vessels.

3) I wish I had a giant penis that would ejaculate a full gallon of semen at a time.


Of course if I had a penis like that I would have to get the rest of my body in shape in order to handle the added physical stress. :eek:

[AppleGuy08]

1. Move things with my mind (kinda like id just throw my hands out like magneto does except i can move anything)and(then i wont have to waste a spot for flight because i would just imaine myself flying)
2. Regeneration
3. Time Travel (of course)

Given some more time (or some new episodes of heroes) I could probably think of some better ones.

[ravenvii]

Immortality
The power to control substances. That includes being able to conjure up fire with my mind. Mass destruction... or miniscule healing. Rock!
Super intelligence

With those powers... I will rule the world!

[mgargan1]

1) I wish I had a giant penis that would get a powerful erection extremely fast and work like a demolition hammer.

2) I wish I had a giant penis that would maintain extraordinary hydraulic pressure for extended hours at a time and have these enormous bulging blood vessels.

Of course if I had a penis like that I would have to get the rest of my body in shape in order to handle the added physical stress. :eek:

What? You mean not every guy has this? Hmm... I must be special.

[TheAnswer]

Any 3 superpowers?

1) China
2) India
2) European Union

[Doctor Q]

1. The ability to bend bent paperclips back into their perfect original shape.
2. The ability to spell the word "accommodate" without wondering if I used the correct numbers of c's and m's.

And the most incredible superpower of all...

3. The ability to open the shrinkwrap on an audio CD with my bare hands!

[Bibulous]

1) Ability to resist clicking on topics like this

2) Ability to resist posting in threads like this

3) Ability to bypass lines at the Post Office

[MongoTheGeek]

1. The ability to bend bent paperclips back into their perfect original shape.

#3 is easy. Slide a thumbnail in the crease on the front where hinge is and slide along the crease. It then tears off easily.

[Raid]

Here's mine...
Extra Sensory Perception that allowed me to remotely view any place and at any point in time. Telekinesis The ability to avoid all consequences of my past/future actions at will... ;)

1 and 2 are for fun, #3 is to make sure I can still have fun :D

[adroit]

1. The ability to have any super power whenever I want
2. Moot
3. Moot

:p

[PreacherKane]

My three powers
1, Regeneration: Like Wolverine. Very dense musculature and super strong epidermis. Fast healing time.

2, Enhanced Sensory Perception: Eyesight, Taste, Hearing, Touch and Smell 10x better.

3, Super Practical Intelligence: The ability to make anything out of household objects. Also known as the
"Macgyver" syndrome.

[furcalchick]

this got me thinking a bunch, but my three would be:

1. telekinesis: lots of possibilities there, flying, fighting, object manipulation, etc.
2. regeneration: don't take a bad beating if you're a dare devil, plus longer life span.
3. this is a toughie, but i would go with energy transformation: turn wind power against your opponents in battle, windy day, turn it into power for your home, lots here too.

i'm the creative type, i need lots of possibilities for my abilities.

[brad.c]

1. Hindsight
2. Selective perception
3. China

[johnee]

1) a vibrating "member" (oh that is too funny)
2) an uncanny ability to predict what apple will do
3) a way to enter the internet as a corporeal being and be the ultimate mac virus

[Doctor Q]

2) an uncanny ability to predict what apple will doWow! MacRumors forum members already have this superpower!

Well, on occasion they do. Some of them. Sometimes. A little.

[JackArc]

Super speed (with stanima, no ware and tare on feet or body, being able to create sonic booms and mini tornadoes, walk on water)

Super powerful Telekinesis

Ability to heel
