you know what... i wanted to bring this thread back a while ago, but i didn't think i could add something to a thread i started. 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)
 
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.
 
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. :)
 
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.

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:

  1. Mind Control
  2. Telekinesis
  3. Fast speed/reflexes

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

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.

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

Google "Melissa Theuriau".

Sorry if this, er, came too early.
 
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
 
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.
 
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
 
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
 
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.
 
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!

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.

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.
