With great power comes great opportunity to abuse it.

Stop Time.

Except, I'm so damn neurotic that I've logic-ified all the fun out of it. You can't breathe. Air molecules have to be physically pulled into your lungs; normally they're the happy-go-lucky sort but now it'd be like breathing tar. You can't see. When you move your head - through tar - you might get a brief blurred image. Light particles are stuck in mid-air. They ain't flowing into your eyes anymore. Trying to walk crushes the nearby particles of air into each other. The moment you restart time, the entire block is levelled by a massive vaccuum sonic boom.

This is why every superhero sequel involves giving the damn powers up.

Telekinesis. Manipulate things without even having to get up and touch them! Spook people into believing there's ghosts! Grab my books without sitting up!

Or pyrokinesis. Though the destructive capabilities aren't exactly in my interests. I'm not all that destructive.

Just plain telepathy would be far too boring. It would be neat the first few times, then boring. "Hi, I'm speaking to your mind!" is only fun for so long.

Unless it's the kind of telepathy where you can delve into the minds of other people and see into their deepest and darkest secrets. You could blackmail just about everybody. And even if they planned to kill you, you'd know exactly how to get them arrested before they even tried.

I want to think of a power that I really want but not now because i'm and horny and...you know

Oh yeah, that would be swell. It'd be along the lines of The Dead Zone, only without the coma and the ill-timed flashbacks!

On second thought, I want a shotgun for a face.

And the ability to rape puppies.

And the ability to rape puppies.

You already have that ability.

OH GOD!!! That was the best orgy I ever had, I hope nobody notices the toliet paper with semen on it... Anyway, I always wondered, what If I could fly, and I mean fast flight, like...Colorado in...say 40 min. because I have this IM buddy in Colorado...

You'd get allong well with Zero-chan.

Anyhow, my ideal power 'twould be to have mind control powers. I could bend the world to my whim! All who dare to oppose me shall suffer! I would have mastery over all of humanity!

Until then I think I'll just sit here and cry.

I have an actual power to look eternally pissed off even when I'm simply idle.

Great fun at social gatherings.

Just get your wang lobbed off. That's the kind of thing that makes a man pissed off for the rest of his life. There's really no point in being nice to people anymore after you lose that.

Oh, I dunno... Seeing the future would be nice. But mostly short-term things. And I'd also like footnotes of some sort.
'Parents are in the hall waiting for you. Camp in living room, hope they don't find out where you hid your grades.'
'Bus is coming. Don't step in the street.'
'The guy next to you has a bad case of herpes and is going to be making uncomfortable scratching movements.'

Case closed: the perfect superpower is to be able to go anywhere you want, whenever/wherever you want.

Baba O'Reily · Post by **Baba O'Reily** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 2:00 pm

That's not a superpower. That's being in a middle-upper class neighborhood and mooching off your parents.
Really, either one would work for me.

The ability to emit brainwaves, thus making the people around me stop being such idiots.

Ugh. Time manipulation has so many unforseen consequences and vairables that by canging one aspect, you break the rest of the world.

"Just by being here you may be killing your mother..." yes, I do recommend The Butterfly Effect.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 11:18 pm

"Just by being here you may be killing your mother..." yes, I do recommend The Butterfly Effect.

Don't even get me started on how ridiculous that movie was. Those kids had every childhood trauma you could imagine. Molestation, burning dogs, homicide, suicide and who can forget the exploding baby? They tried to cram in so much angst into a single set of characters that it was hilariously unbelievable.

And that selfish bastard of a main character. He kills his girlfriend's brother with little to no provocation, then he fucks around in the time stream and screws everyone over, and when he finally reaches a timeline where everyone is happy - he fucks it up just because things don't go right for him personally.

And dammit, I wanted to see Ashton Kutcher get banged in prison!

WhoopA · Post by **WhoopA** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 11:36 pm

And to top it all off, he kills himself in the director's cut when he realizes how much of a fuck-up he is.,

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 11:49 pm

It's more suprising he didn't accidentally kill himself. It's quite coincidental that through all the fucking around with the time-stream, he always has a future to return to. It'd be funny if the movie ended with him stopping his own conception or being trapped as an embryo or causing world war III.

Me, I would've wrote down some important things in the past and turned myself into a prohpet to be worshipped.

A prophet with a great career in betting on sporting events.

Mwahahahaha.

WhoopA · Post by **WhoopA** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 11:57 pm

Well, he could only go as far back as to when he existed... at least he did something decent in that final trip to make the world a better place for everyone else.

By taking his fucked up chromosomes out of the gene pool.

He was never supposed to exist in the first place... remember the fortune teller?

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Sat Sep 18, 2004 12:07 am

Too bad Professor Xavier didn't get to him in time. A guy with the power to alter history, even on a local scale, has to be neutralized.

But I prefer the useful kind of time-travel. The kind where you can take stuff with you.
