If you had to choose, what would be most fun and/or useful power from a movie, TV show, cartoon, book, games, or mythos? Include any drawbacks of the power that the source adds into consideration
Separating the silly and serious analyses would also be nice. (see various videos, articles, etc. on how certain superpowers would actually kill you, e.g. stopping time would mean you couldn’t breathe as the air cannot move)
Shapeshifting.
Doesn’t need to be into any form, just “into your true form (and possibly back)” would be enough. I’m a wolf, lemme be a wolf, dammit, universe!
Being able to shift back would be convenient for when human society inevitably demands you look like a human or be treated as an Unthinking Worthless Lesser Object. Until society figures out how awful that is and cuts it out.
– Frost
Angel from Big O can literally rewrite reality.
Okay
Stopping time for everyone and everything except for myself and stuff I directly touch (but not people)
Found a loophole haha
The world will be pitch black :)
And absolute zero.
Heat also travels
Heat is frozen, and stay the same
Heat is motion…
Exactly
No I mean heat is the effect of moving atoms bumping into things
And when its frozen, it wont just disappear
If you disagree, then weather isnt included in the freeze lol
Light travels usually.
It is also frozen
I want Domino’s luck. All the rest of your powers can get fucked. I’m god’s favorite.
Yeah, all the luck based powers seem ideal. Easy to also write off as just lucky!
It even beats saitama and ainz because it’s funny.
Power to create anything, and I do mean ANYTHING.
But are we ready for a big-titty Yoshi whose struggle sounds have been changed so sound like a woman moaning?
Scaroused
Franklin Richards. Mr Fantasic’s son. He can create whole universes and bend reality to his will. He is almost always a kid because at full power how are you going to write a believable conflict?
Always liked the saki or immortal king path of too op so has to actively nerf. So the conflict is not with others so much as within himself. Like godzilla trying to walk in NYC and not destroy anything cause he knows the value of life.
I’ll take omnipotence. Not sure what the drawbacks would be.
You’d never be able to microwave a burrito so hot you couldn’t eat it.
Not sure what the drawbacks would be.
You will soon find out :P
Everyone constantly asking you to do something for them that they bloody well could do themselves.
Just leave it as “read”.
That sounds like a solvable problem. Hell, with omnipotence all of the problems are solvable!
The powers of the Flash is nice, except for the destruction left in the wake of his movements.
Having the powers of Jumpers from the series by the same name seems to have good grounding as momentum is maintained during a jump getting passed the whole, earth and the solar system are moving not just earth rotating.
Maybe a Deathnote journal.
Less violent option would maybe be mind control at a distance.
If I could do a combo I’d have an eternal (meaning healthy, unkillable, etc) body with an ability to see up to 10 years in the future. Being able to wander anywhere and know when to be places to see major events or to help someone or be a stabilizing influence.
Imagine all the skills you could pick up and the places you could go, the things you could do, the experiences you could have. I wouldn’t want to be the one with my name on a discovery, but I’d like being in the background helping it happen.
Don’t know but my dog is rubbing herself against the couch and I’m thinking she is working her way up from godess of static cling to godess of thunder.
Super-speed if the speedforce was where the energy came from. Without the speedforce, running at those speeds would ignite the atmosphere and kill everything. Even if I ran slower, the food intake would be insane.
Dr Manhattan sounds neat Dr Manhattan. Not sure how I would/could overcome the possible loss of humanity.
I want whatever Saitama from One Punch Man have. It not just super strength and speed, its also invincibility, mindcontrol-proof, illusion-proof, or any mumbo-jumbo-proof.
If that’s cheating, i want whatever King have.
Well, Saitama told you his training routine. What are you waiting for? Get to it.
Wolfwalker would be pretty awesome. Become a wolf while I sleep. Might end up getting a lot more sleep!
Absolute control of atomic structures / telekinesis and psychic abilities.
The grandfather in the book Slipt. Amazing story.
This effectively allows:
Change chemical structures, transmutation, cure/remove illness
Cause strokes or embolisms from a distance with no evidence.
Hey that building full of people I didn’t like is now glowing from extreme amounts of radiation! Almost like the cement became a hugely unstable isotope suddenly. Weird.
Within a few days, the world would be forever changed.
Even though it’s not the most powerful thing in the world, I’ve always really vibed with Daredevil’s powers. I like the idea of being hyper aware of my surroundings and being able to sense movement, even from far away, without seeing it. Also, great for tracking people.
