Your 3 superpowers?

Mortality is what some say makes us human. Hence to lose that mortality, would lose the very essence of what makes us human.

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. 😉

Even more rationalizations of a being resigned to its own mortality 😉

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.

When Death comes knocking, all I'll do is laugh and smile back.

I suppose people find pain fun?

And endless life is also enjoyable?

Oh my god, someone just took my argument!

Thank you, and please read my last posts...!

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!

I've seen that episode... It just shows you, you really need to be REALLY specific in your wishes...

Yes.
Watch Millennium Man. Without giving away the movie... The 'Robot' doesn't like living forever.

Could you keep yourself occupied... Forever?

I dunno... after a while... everything is repetitive, no?

Also... You can still be HURT! Are you gonna Karate chop an exploding Star? I think not.


As manitoubalck points out these are ONLY wishes.

Also that death character looks like it was pulled out of Family Guy...
🙄
 
  1. The ability to directly contact any supreme (God, Allah, etc.) deity directly. I want answers dang it!
  2. 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.
  3. The ability to morph myself into any living thing. (Animal or person.)
    [/list=1]
 
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!
 
1. Shapeshifting for as long as I like
2. Power to change the shape and characteristics of other people and items.
3. Vague Knowledge of the future ala Visons

No, just the danger thereof. If I can't risk hurting a little, how do I get a thrill out of danger?

That's up to me.

How many times do I have to explain this? My superpowers work together. If I can summon any material object into existence, I can summon more hydrogen into the star, preventing the explosion. Then I can summon a gigantic spaceship to save humanity.

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. 😉

wouldn't it suck if you forgot your original, true form after thousands of shapeshifts? you would lose your physical identity
 
1. invisibility... if you were invisible theres not much you couldnt do... one way or another...

2. teleporting... together with invisibility... oh yeah!!!

and...

3. ability to read minds... mind control...

that would rule!!! is it ok to use super powers for evil???

You win a toaster (but it's a nice one, retail $19.95). Congratulations! Of course, you can trade it in for the chance to win a book on ornithology...will you do it?
 
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)
 
AFFECT THE MARKETS! (zomg, cheaper oil makes inflation NOT be 1.2% MONTH OVER MONTH!!)

Grow as many damn kidneys as I want (You heard me. I have one. I want like.. 300. If one gets stopped up with a kidney stone, I have 299 others to go kidney duties. That'd be awesome)

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

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.

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

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.
 
OutThere said:
1) The ability to bring threads back from the embodiment of death that is the Archive.


That is all.

I see that atszyman stole your power. 😉

My powers:

(1) The ability to pick the two most perfect superpowers to have.

(2) and (3): TBD
 
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.
 
I remember on some movie or TV show or something, there was an invisible guy (or maybe a genie) who went around the classroom and tied everyone's shoelaces together 🙄
