The world has changed and its landscape is altered forever. You have been granted a choice of Superpowers. Make a wise decision as you cannot go back on your choice. Oh, perhaps a short explanation on why you made your choice too.
The choices are all supernatural. Human beings are not capable of making this type of selection. Itās like asking do you like black or white. The answer is infinite.
That depends, what kind of healing are we talking about? Would my body repair damage due to normal aging? Healing would be a clear winner for me then. Some of those other powers you could theoretically age too much to use (or use safely).
What about teleportation? Either instantaneous relocation or through the use of other-dimensional portals.
For example, flying means free transportation as long as you are physically able to keep upā¦whatever it is your body does to fly. Free transportation would allow you to spend car money on other things and still travel more than the average person. Downside is that presumably you can get to old to fly and also, if you can fly you can also crash.
Itās also a bit like a personality test. Would you choose something practical? Something whimsical? Mind control is a bit problematicā¦
- Invisibility - nop, someone could stick a finger in my bu77 inadvertidly if they didnāt see me
- Strength - hum, good, but no! Iād have mind control to make people use their strength instead of me
- Healing - good, specially in case of sickness, but Iād have mind control to make my brain working that way and heal :o
- Underwater Breathing - not really, I donāt like subaquatic adventures, but Iād have mind control to get all the submarines, and animal language to have a shark saving me
- Super Speed - this would be nice, but Iād have animal language to hire BipBip to run faster with me on the back
- Night Vision - Iām a flashaholic, that would be a waste of money for all the lights Iād bought
- Animal Language - OH YEAH! Iād speak to them and control their minds
- Mind Control - OH YEAH!
- Flight - Nop, I have vertigo! I could fly with Falkor, though
Time Control - I guess with mind control Iād have enough people to make my work and still delay the watches
Iād only miss Weather Control! āCause that would help mind controlling and on animal language
This is the best thread Iāve ever seen on any forum. I was literally thinking about this today.
I think perhaps telekinesis would be my choice. Iām one of the few people who absolutely loved the movie Push.
I even go back and forth on Wolverine w/ the unbreakable skeleton vs Wolverine without adamantium. In the latter scenario, he can only lift 800 lbs vs about 2 tons, however his healing factor is increased to incredible levels now that it doesnāt have to counteract the adamantium poisoning
But Xavier level telepathy and mind control would be probably the most useful. It would be hard though to not just walk into the United Nations building and declare yourself emperor of Earth (:
Same. Iām only 31 and I already wish I could revert my body to an earlier version with less mileage.
Flying was a close second though. Being able to fly would feel amazing and save tons of money on transportation. Iād be traveling all the time! And it would keep me thin too since flying must burn calories.
Immortality doesnāt necessarily include invincibility. The elves in Lord of the Rings are a good example. They live foreverā¦unless something kills them. Realistically there has to be some level of trauma that disrupts your healing process too much for it to take effect.
