What powers would you want?

kyupol 2018-04-23 02:30:43 UTC #39

The power to read minds and discern people's heart intent.

To stop me from getting into trouble or taking offense to certain gestures.

If you:

1) talk in a loud obnoxious arrogant manner

2) Do this:

3) Or this:

Those 2 hand gestures more offensive than the middle finger. Interpreted subconsciously. Though I consciously understand that while in America, those hand gestures, loud mouthedness, and cussing are part of everyday language and don't mean aggressive and confrontational behavior.

But subconsciously, I take high offense to that and I'd be bare minimum a passive asshole to you... As in numb tone of voice, stern facedness, chest puffed out, etc... passive indicators I've been slighted and I'm ready for a fight...

and maximum blowing up on you... and you'd be like "wtf what did I do or say to piss him off so badly?"

Got me in trouble with a couple people at my work. /sigh. Now they avoid even looking at me for fear of looking at me the wrong way and pissing me off.

I think for us it would be like seing people using the middle finger to signaling things. I see why it can be confusing after a lifetime of getting used to see certain gestures as rude/hostile.

In which country/countries those gestures are offensive?, just in case i meet someone from that/those countries and to avoid awkward situations.

Philippines. Maybe Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries in the neighborhood.

Teleportation - I would be able to go to places in an instant without the use of a car (I would be able to save alot of money on gas, car repairs, and car loans.)

I would want the power to talk to animals. But only Neptune knows what goes on inside a squirrels mind... shivers

Shape-shifting. Definitely shape-shifting. How convenient would it be to turn into a bird and fly to work? (You might need to keep some spare clothes in your locker but, whatever works. It's cheaper than paying for gas) How cool would it be to live in any environment? You want to visit a cold place? Bam: Polar bear. You want to swim in deep oceans? Bam: Dolphin. You want to go to space and live through it? BAM: Tardigrade. So many cool things you could do with a power like that.

Possess someone elses body

Superpower: Shape-shifting. Like you can use it in so many situations. Got a date/formal event? Instantly you look amazing. Forgot you house key? Just change you finger into one. Cosplaying a character? You can look just like them. Trans? No need for HRT and surgeries you can look just like you want straight away. Oh and you can be a dragon.

Mental change: get rid of anxiety and/or disphoria
physical change: I'm a bit overweight so it would be nice to be able to change that. Oh and maybe change my hair to be the length i want it so i don't have to wait for it to grow out to get it cut.

I second the shapeshifting -- specifically, the ability to shapeshift into any animal or mythical creature. It would be like having a hundred superpowers under your belt. Also immortality, but I have some ideas about how I could abuse the shapeshifting to achieve that.
Mentally, I'd really like to be more intelligent. My stupidity frustrates me all the time. Less anxiety would be great too.

Chronitis 2018-04-23 16:32:55 UTC #48

Like through mind transfer or like trowing a cap at them.

Kann 2018-04-23 20:56:08 UTC #49

I'd like telekinesis, because I place my stuff too far away when I need it and I'm too lazy to get up. I guess a drawback would be that I'd get even lazier, lol.

Mentally I'd like to be not so horribly shy. It's making my life difficult. </3

Physically... I don't know. I'm not 100% okay with my body but I don't feel the need to change something drastically so I'll just figure it out on my own. XD

blackopsracing321 2018-04-23 22:16:06 UTC #50

I'm right there with @Kann with telekinesis. It's by FAR the best super power because it grants you other super powers like flight, invulnerablity, super strength, super speed.

Although I couldn't be trusted with this power. I'd most likely attempt to take over the world (maybe, if there's other people with super powers I might not lol). And if I succeed at world domination, I'd probably give to world back (I'm a conqueror not a ruler lol) and disappear back into obscurity so future generations only think I was a myth.

cocoasninja 2018-04-24 00:06:12 UTC #51

Idk if it counts as a power, but I've always wished I could sing
or be a vampire
or both
I see no drawbacks whatsoever

DiegoPalacios 2018-04-24 00:16:24 UTC #52

Daylight can be annoying for a vampire, but if you don`t go out there is no drawback.

Or you are going for a sun-inmune vampire?

cocoasninja 2018-04-24 00:18:51 UTC #53

I'm human and I never go outside during the day, so I'd say I'd be fine either way

DiegoPalacios 2018-04-24 00:22:01 UTC #54

all according to plan i see....well played.

VibrantFox 2018-04-24 01:24:17 UTC #55

At one point I wanted pyrokinesis but it doesn't have a lot of practical uses but to be able to control multiple elements would be a bit more handy. I suppose the only drawback is it being difficult to use certain powers under certain conditions like a lack of moisture in the air means the inability to use water based powers and could even lead to dehydration an so on for the rest. As far as it's use I'd probably stick to using it to make mundane tasks a bit easier and helping where it's useful.

I think if I could change anything physically it'd be to improve the condition of my hair and skin, I'm pretty satisfied with my appearance though eliminating risks of disease would be pleasant.

Mentality....probably get rid of my mood swings and anxieties. Maybe improve memory retention so that I can learn and remember things easier

AVXP 2018-04-24 11:46:12 UTC #56

I'd say manipulate matter on a sub-atomic level. A power or skill that I could grow with over time as I learn what else I/it can do.

Replicate objects.
Phase in and out of stuff.
Change properties.
Transmute.
Bend light.

I'd imagine- in the beginning I'm doing really simple stuff.

But eventually..split atoms and more...

OgonoArtFamily 2018-04-24 13:16:17 UTC #57

Long Range Teleportation . It'll save me so much money on airplane, bus and subway fees. I can travel the world in an instant

Wezboy 2018-04-24 13:56:18 UTC #58

I would like to levitate/fly , have super strength, and have the ability to survive without having to eat. Like, I would like to eat whenever I wanted, and not because I'm hungry and have to stay alive... because I don't like food XDDDD .
