1111

I would like Hyperinvention and Hyperintelligence like Reed Richards and Tony Stark mashed together.

Mostly i would invent new and improved technologies to help life on earth. I would also create a suit of armor that would put Iron man to shame and use it to help others. Oh, and forgot the US army would be getting basic Iron man armor for all their soldiers.

1. Immortality.
2. Telepathy.
3. Telekenesis/Flight.

Rob banks and destroy them in the process. Then use the money to help poor people.

teleportation, so i could go on vacations and to other countries and stuff without having to pay for an airplane ticket... or having to get sick on the airplane!!

flight, because i would love the feeling of it... and getting a birds eye view woudl be totally cool. like flying over mt everest, or the amazon river, or taroko gorge etc. that perspective woudl be neat, and theres the freedom of being able to fly

1111Well, clearly invulnerability would be number one. It should (as seen on Hero's) include no aging so you also get immortality, pretty sweet. Number two? Hmmm. Probably something mental like mind control or super intelligence (both?!!!). What would I do with these powers? I'd march into Afghanistan/Pakistan and come out with Osama bin Ladin, using my "Jedi mind tricks" to find him and, when that failed, my invulnerability as a back up.. Then I'd collect my $25 million dollar reward, and go from there.

Heroes is such an awesome show... :D

1 Full understanding of all things biological and how to manipulate them, so I can reverse effects of aging fix alzheimer revive extinct species, make a clone that outomaticly revives with all your memories if you would finally top it. (Sounds way better then inmortality especially afther a couple of thousands years then you might wich that you had at least the option to die or alter your memorie or personality)

2 have all the knowledge to built and maintain wormholes, and make them apear anywhere I wan't. So I can make the door of my closest connect to a beach house on the bahamas or terraform mars and venus by changing their position in the solar system together with some icy asteroids or yust simply make one apear at 40 eridani and have a look if you can find the vulcan homeworld.

Try to bead those 2 superpowers

I'd pick flight and invisibility. Flight because then I'd never have to deal with the airlines again, and invisibility because it would be great fun to go places you're not supposed to be to see what goes on there. No, not girls dressing rooms... I'm thinking the Pentagon or Area 51.

We were toying around with superhero ideas at work once, and we came up with Steve, who has every superpower imaginable. The catch is he has no control over them, so any time he uses a superpower it always ends up making the situation worse for the superhero team he's in. But he was told long ago by a Buddhist monk that he has one true superpower that he can control, so his life's quest is to find this one superpower by trying them all. Hilarity ensues.

Incidentally the other super heroes on the team included Aqua Pants, who's pants became fused to his skin and super water repellent in a freak washing machine accident (don't ask) allowing him to use water as a projectile and making pissing a very traumatizing experience.

I'd like an inflatable penis with vibration and pleasure studs

I would fight crime with it...

Cock Rocket!!!

I was thinking The PeckerMan, but whatever floats your boat...

<bzzzzzzzzz>

See - now there's a waste of some perfectly good invulnerability.

If I was invulnerable, I'd have to pair that up with the power of flight, so I could zip all over the world, and do truly meaningful things, like head over to Ol' Moscow & give Vladimir Putin such a wedgie - then pat him on the head and go "Who's a bee-bee, ba-ba, boo-boo ?" and stroll off chuckling while the AK rounds, &tc. bounced off me...
:cool:

I don't think oimortality s a superpower. bt its your game,not mine. Though I like it.

Got to agree living where I do

Ham, you idiot. LOL :)

The ability to put a protective bubble around my house to protect it against severe storms, floods and mudslides.:bawl:

definitely teleportation, and a second would probably be mind reading or some type of mental power like telepathy or telekinesis.

ya know, me and my dawgs talk bring this up a lot when having sessions smokin L's. I think we should make a poll with these superpowers, to see what sciforums members like the most. I can tell you that my group of friends, after much debating, decided that we'd go with teleportation, because it beats flight.

:cool:That's good!

I've always wondered about someone with the power to fly who isn't invulnerable: wouldn't they be cold as hell? What about flying into bugs? And wouldn't your eyes water like crazy? Could they even breath while flying at high speeds?

This is very similar to one of mine. One of mine would be the ability to communicate with all animals of the planet, interact with them, and even have them carry out tasks for me.

I'd rather just have the ability to teleport anywhere in the universe.

If you had the ability to teleport anywhere, why would you even need to fly?

Ok, I have three. One was mentioned above. The other two:
-Klaatu and Gorts power from 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.
(who wouldnt' want the power to literally turn something/someone into dust if they pissed you off, or the power to resurrect someone, like Gort can?)

This one is the choice of the evil side of myself. Haha
-the supernatural/demonic ability* to seduce any woman on the planet, regardless of her marrital status; not just so I could go nail any girl I wanted, but also for revenge. What better way to get revenge on a guy than to steal/nail his g/f or wife (or mom, or sister, or daughter, niece, etc.)?
You wouldn't even need to actually sleep with her, just be able to sway her from her current committment.
*that supernatual/demonic ability also comes with supernatural strength/immortality

The ability to solve any problem that ever existed. ;)

I'd like to add teleportation to mine... the ability to fuck anyone in the world by simply materializing in the right spot...

<inflate-inflate>
<bbzzzzzzzz>
"What was that? and why am I coated in ejaculate?"

The ability to solve any problem that ever existed. ;)

I like :)

I still rather teleport anywhere in the universe, but I like that one too.

TK, Telepathy, and healing/immortality.

First I would summon a friend. Then, we would put on a disguise. Then wait till late at night. Then drive way into another city. Then find a bank at around 3am. My telepathy would allow me to monitor any possible obstacle in the vicinity. When clear and safe, I can use my TK to get into the bank, and levitate the money into my car. Then my friend at the wheel can drive us away clean.

While you bozos are off in Russia chasing Osammy, I'm rolling in dough.

I'd have to go with telepathy and the ability to control the weather, like storm from x men

or wait, the ability to grow money trees! and telepathy.

Would you be interested in robbing a bank? We have to start out small since we have no resources. We will just do one job. Then we can use our loot to fund a lair, and some equipment to do some real major stuff without getting caught. We will rob banks to make people think that we are supervillains. But secretly help poor people.
