If you could have one superpower.

Yeah totally. How've you been, btw?

Huh. After years of growing up watching and reading about superheroes, you'd think I'd be able to answer easily, but I'm really struggling here.

My answer would depend on what world I would have powers in. If I lived in a world full of other people who had superpowers, I think power replication/absorption would be really cool. However, if I had powers in the world we are currently living in, I think I'd like to have plant manipulation. Totally not influenced by my favorite Gotham villainess Poison Iy.

Replication/Absroption (of other powers I imagine) really reminds me of Peter Petrelli from that 2006 TV series called "Heroes." Go watch it if you haven't. It's great.

I think those are neat powers. I like transmutation because it's like…
"You want to fight, eh?"
snaps fingers
"Now you're a giant slug with a human mind! Have fun trying to find shade and think about what you've done!"

Black hole manipulation is cool too because I could form a black hole in an irredeemably evil villain's body and shut it off when they're gone, but only if I gotta!

@Monoceros Just came up with a better one after seeing what you said: Spatial Isolation

The ability to remove myself from the physical plane. This way, I don't have to change anyone else. I just disappear, probably to a pocket dimension that defines peace for myself. Maybe a quiet garden with a small stream going through, where the plants tend to themselves and are always beautiful. I can't change anyone if I'm gone.

Now that I'd like to have! A sort of personal peace. Great idea!

Thanks. If only it weren't fiction.

Nice

I just want invisibility. Nothing else. All I want is to see what people do when they think I'm not around, and slip into places I shoudln't be.

That's all neat!!!

I can’t choose between being invisible and reading minds….. AHH

oooo invisiblity

Cloaking
Slightly different from invisibility. Can be invisible but, also put on a false appearance to hide my ugly potato self.

woah this place is alive again

Also cool idea

Thx.

The power to be average at everything I try. So, I want to invent the cure for cancer? well, I don't get it, but I do invent a better treatment. I want to fly? Well, I can't quite fly, but I can jump pretty high/hover/etc. The power to be mediocre at talents no one else has, essentially.

That's… actually brilliant!

I saw it somewhere, so i'm not gonna take the credit lol. But it just seems like such a cool power to have!

@Monoceros You've seen Heroes! I only just now saw that. It's great, right?

Yeah!! I'm re-watching it, I hadn't seen in in such a long time. I'm currently in Season 2, Episode 7 or 8.
Have you seen it all?

It's been too long, but yeah. All of the original, at least. We all know how the reboot went…. RIP.

Power to affect probability.

@Lord_Dunconius Steelheart, much?

The rock band?

Nope. the book. The general principle is that people have super powers, and are corrupted by them. One such character, background though he may be, has the power to affect probability. Your comment reminded me of that.

Wow. I have legitimately never heard of that. Sounds cool.

It's actually a series of books. It's kinda cheezy in some places (the protagonist is 19 years old and really weird), but the whole concept and books in general? Frickin amazing.

Sounds good :)
Might give it a read sometime.
