If you could have just *one* supernatural ability, what would it be?

[Absinthe]

Yep, this is the Apricity Superhero thread! :p So, assuming you could have just one supernatural ability...e.g. healing power, immortality, super-strength, time-travelling, ability to fly, invisibility, etc...

What supernatural strenght would you really like to be able to possess? And why?

I'll be posting mine soon enough, I want to keep the element of surprise. :wink

[Sol Invictus]

X-Ray vision .. I don't think I need to explain why... :thumb001:

[Absinthe]

X-Ray vision .. I don't think I need to explain why... :thumb001:
Because you're a sleazy med? :p

(j/k! :D)

[Sol Invictus]

:dev2:naughty::dev

[Æmeric]

The gift of foresight. I would always win the big lottery jackpots & naturally I would become the most successful stockbroker ever. And I would always bet on the winning team.:D

[Fortis in Arduis]

When I focus on my third eye and I am pure in my heart I have psychic abilities which are surprisingly practical and which bring serendipitous joy into my life. This is an innate supernatural ability that all men have.

Oh, and women. LOL

[WinterMoon]

I want to read minds. :D Of course, I would like to have control over it.... nto like the guy in the movie who could suddenly "hear" everything that women thought. But, yes, I want to read minds. :naughty:

[Psychonaut]

I'd definitely copy-cat the Marvel character Apocalypse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_(comics)) and have complete control over my atomic structure, being able to rearrange it at will.

[Absinthe]

I want the Babelfish! :D I.e., I would like to be able to understand & speak all languages.

That would facilitate my secret wish...to start travelling around the world and study the most interesting people and cultures ;)

[Beorn]

X-Ray vision

.....


I want to read minds.

I would want the ability to neutralise all superhero powers, in that case. Much like the character from Heroes, just like 'the Haitian' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_%28Heroes%29).


I'd definitely copy-cat the Marvel character Apocalypse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_%28comics%29) and have complete control over my atomic structure, being able to rearrange it at will.

In which case I would like to be the offspring of Slim and Red and be called Cable. :thumb001:


If I could have one superpower, it would most likely be the power to time travel. I could spend my lifetime witnessing everything this world has experienced.

I perhaps would change a few things within my past, also.

[Vulpix]

I am tempted by the following three:


Invisibility
Flying
the "Babel-fish" :D!

I think I would opt for invisibility, as it is most versatile :p.

By being invisible, I could:


Spy on conversations, meetings etc.
Get rich by spying on such meetings :D
Cause mischief, hehe :D
Potentially save my life in situations where one could get out of danger by disappearing

:)

[Arrow Cross]

The lack of aging ... which is the true freakin' scourge of the entire species. Imagine where we'd be if human lifespans would only be the double of our standard.

[Sol Invictus]

.....
.

took the words out of your mouth I know

[Oisín]

I'd choose the ability to time travel, definitely. Change history, change the future. Sleep with Marilyn Monroe, place bets on games that I already know the result of (a la Back to the Future). It'd be the coolest thing ever.

[safinator]

Super speed.

[mymy]

Healing power- the most useful.

[Han Cholo]

Mind reading. That could get me a lot of chicks without getting embarrassed with rejection.

[Albion]

I think either ability to time travel - I'd put so many things right and a lot of people would never get born! :rolleyes:

Or

I'd be immortal no matter what, un-killable and un-ageing and I'd live until the earth itself died.

[Mordid]

Oooooo, that is tough. I think the ability to time travel, to see and explore past and future worlds. How incredible to be able to seee history in the making, to actually watch the great catastrophes, to feel the SF 1906 earthquake, to meet the greatest minds, to talk to Shakespeare, to see how the Virgin Mary actually got pregnant and to be able to de-bunk that myth, to see DINOSAURS!!! Wow, how incredible would that be?

Next would be the ability to instantly transport myself to anywhere in the world, to visit every corner of our globe, meeting people from every walk of life.

[arcticwolf]

That's so easy, I can't believe anyone would answer different. ;) A mind free of even the slightest, most subtle, even the potential of ignorance! If you don't get it, don't worry, you will one day. :p

[Panopticon]

The ability to create anything.

[Mordid]

If you don't get it, don't worry, you will one day. :p
Yeah, in their dream. :p

You have met one of the greatest minds and you don't even know it! LOL

[Mordid]

*Reading Arcticwolf's mind* Who brought me here?

Damn, I think I have power!!!! WOO-HOOO! WOO-HOO!!! I'm gonna read everyone's mind here. :P

[askra]

i would like to have the possibility to modify the time

stop it when i want to sleep much more

turn back when i commit a mistake

go ahead when i'm in a boring situation and to see the future

[askra]

del

[Unurautare]

It's a though one:
*insert penis joke here*

[leisitox]

I want the power: omnipotence, is that a power right? :D
If is invalid, I want the control of time(travel), able to manipulate, change and do whatever I want with the time.

[Gratis]

The ability to sterilize negroes.

[Lithium]

I would choose to stop caring about everything

[Mordid]

I would choose to stop caring about everything
No offence, but that's the lamest supernatural I've ever heard. :D

[Lithium]

No offence, but that's the lamest supernatural I've ever heard. :D

But its really hard and almost impossible. Thank you :D

[Damião de Góis]

Teleportation would be useful

[Comte Arnau]

Metamorphosis, the ability to change of form and adapt that of other things or living beings.

[Loddfafner]

The abiliity to cure stupidity.

[Incal]

X-Ray vision, to see through walls and women's clothes.

[Damião de Góis]

X-Ray vision, to see through walls and women's clothes.

If you saw through walls and through women's clothes you would see through the women too, which means you wouldn't really see anything. :D

[Incal]

And why Superman do can? :D

[Moonbird]

To be able to choose what to forget and what to remember. That way I could forget everything painful that has happened.

[R4ge]

Lightning power.

[Leliana]

The ability to revive dead people. I'd stop using the supernatural ability after three uses, uses who were important to me.

[Arrow Cross]

You would have much work to do in Russia, my dear. Russia? From Stalingrad to Normandy...

[Svipdag]

Telepathy

If I could know what others were thinking, it would give me a great advantage in dealing with them. It would also allow me to "pick their brains" for valuable information.

l have always had difficulty in understanding why others behave as they do and what they really think of me. Telepathy would solve both of these problems.



"NEC SPE NEC METU" - Anon Y. Mous, 16th century

[Susi]

The same as Svipdag. Exactly. <_<

[AussieScott]

I would like the power to absorb all powers, and use them at will, like that fella off "HERO'S".

I find the ability to multiply myself over and over infinitely would be a good power, could solve our problems by superior numbers then.

[Phil75231]

Time travel. I like to explore history.

[Drawing-slim]

I would like to be granted a visa travel to the outside buble of our known universe, and hangout for a brief moment with the big guy the master/creator of everything. Assuming there's an intelligent being that designed all that exists.
While visiting there, i would take a seat next to him and zoom into our little home called earth, and have him explain to me all the nonsense and what awaits us all after.
After i get some good news for us, upon my return home i'm gone get greedy and ask him to do me another favor:D to grant me the power to be able to seduce any women i want, averytime i see one on the street, and anytime i desire without a second of waste and just have them get down to business:D

[beaver]

:) simple question

for women - beauty
for men - the bigger penis

[Han Cholo]

:) simple question

If given the option, I'd rather make my penis a fully movable articulated limb like a tail or a finger instead of making it bigger.

[Han Cholo]

duplicate

[rhiannon]

It's a tossup between immortality, reviving the dead, and the ability to fly:)

[rhiannon]

Time travel. I like to explore history.

That would be my #2 for sure:)

[billErobreren]

phil already called time travel so....crap:ohwell:

hmm...if there is such a thing as a supernatural ability that causes spontaneous combustion on people, I want it!!! I could go to some Muslim street praying thingy or a Carlos Mencia show & BOOM!!!:mad:

[Matritensis]

I'd like to be able to melt butter at a slightly faster rate than room temperature would achieve.For cooking,you know.Not that I like cooking particularly,but I think it would be kind of cool.

[The Ripper]

Bending of spoons.

[Matritensis]

Nah,I was kidding.I just want a supermegaultrahyper awesome penis,AKA Dick,that glows in the dark,cures attractive women's depressions and brings peace to the world.Just like every other guy here.

[TheBorrebyViking]

I want to be able to look at people at make them die. Talk about winning a war for the North West Front, I'd be able to do it single handed if I could do that.

[leisitox]

I wanna be omnipotent :P
