If you could have one "power", what would it be?
 

What I'm trying to get here, is if you had a certain "power" you could choose, would it be super-human strength, or invisibility, etc?

Personally, I would choose to be invisibility for too many reasons I don't care to list.

probably omnipotence.

If it had to be a lesser super power... I think mind control over others

Question's been asked... recently....

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=25679

bastard beat me to it. bummer.

The ability to fly. That would kick ass.

Well let's switch up the question. If you could have a CRAPPY superpower, what would it be? Like turn mustard into ketchup or something.

I just wanna fly. Or have the power to get myself laid.

That would be to locate the other missing sock.

To be able to scratch my own back...

I'm glad you changed the question to a "crappy" power, because this would have been my answer for a regular power, too, and that's just embarassing.

I want the ability to flick my thumb and have it light on fire. Like they do in the cartoons. Even before I started smoking cigars, when I was adamantly against smoking, I desperately wanted this power. If I were ever given three wishes, this would definitely be one of them.

crappy power? I would definitely want to be able to conjure a penny, but you could only conjure 3 per day, so if you needed 3 cents you could conjure it but WHOA that's it. You couldn't become rich.

Limitless transmutation of matter would be pretty cool.

Hmm Crappy power?

I'd like to have that "eye in the back of my head".

It could be annoying to me personally(sleeping on my eye and getting shampoo in my eyes) and very creepy looking but yet there are those times as a mother...

For a real super power? I'd want Telekinesis. Can you imagine what kind of things you could do with that? I've got a couple people who deserve a little messing with and that would be perfect. On the other hand the ability to help people would be so great.

I'd say the power to see perfectly well in the dark, but I don't know if that's a crappy power.

I'd like to be able to lick my eyebrows. That may or may not be a crappy power, depending on your perspective. http://www.deja-fu.com/blog/wp-image...s/plotting.gif

Definitely fly. That would kick ass.

I'd say the crappiest superhuman ability is to be able to unclog any toilet in the world without a plunger...by using your mind! Then you'd be known as the Shit Sucker or something and everyone would know you as being the guy that's good with piles and moats of shit.

-Lasereth

I'd say the crappiest power in the world would be the ability to permenantly blind yourself at will.

I'd want the power of invincibility.

For a crappy power, I'd want to be able to always make it in when I throw paper balls at my garbage can.

I think the power of reading anyone's mind would be interesting, but not necessarily a good power to have.

Invisibility would be really sweet, providing I could go visible and invisible at will.

Flying is also a possibility, but I like driving a lot, so I don't think I am as into flying as I used to be. ;)

omipotence, gotta get myself some of that :D

I would have the power of persuasion for a good power. And the power to make all my dishes do themselves for a crappy power. Oh, and my laundry too.

I just want The Force.

crappiest? to bend minds with my spoon :eek:

:D

good power - maybe invisible but maybe i'd see/hear things I don't want to (like what people REALLY think of me) so I guess flying cuz there's a lot of places I'd like to get to a lot faster and cheaper

crappy power - the ability to unlock my house with my mind when my hands are full of groceries - and also when I lock myself out

The super crappy power I would have would be to fart on command.

The super crappy power I would have would be to fart on command. Oh wait, I already have that power. :)

sorry, don't know how that got posted twice.

The ability to turn invisible at will.

Flying would kick ass !(if you had some good eye protection)

For crappy powers, the ability to mow the lawn with my mind. (mostly because my lawn currently needs my attention)

Good power. For everything to happen just the way I want it.

Crappy power. Hum.. For every insect within 20 feet to just drop dead. Then I would charge 50 bucks to walk around peoples homes.

blanket answer for 'crappy power' -
take all of the good powers in that first thread that I already posted in way back when and this thread and add one small clause: 'The ability to use this powers(s) will turn off or on at random for wildly varying lengths (could be anywhere from 5 seconds to a full week or longer) with no control at from you'

Adds a new twist to the flying, invisibilty, and others

the only superpower for me would have to be the ability to transmogrify(morph)myself into any object(yes, as seen in Calvin and Hobbes. I have a hard time letting go leave me alone!)

Invisibility for sure...

I'd want to fly. Yeup. :)

I think a great crappy power would be if you could pre-taste things. You know, like be able to know if something was going to taste like shit before you actually ate it...I donno, that might be one anyway

hmm crappy super power. The ability to phase my right hand at any point to go through matter. That way I could always find the "special hidden prize" in cereal boxes and I would never be locked out of my house again!

But do you choose to use it for the betterment of mankind????? :)

Good power would be psionics.

Crappy power would be to give myself head.

Crappy power? To make automobile tires blow out at a distance, through sheer willpower. Nobody would ever tailgate me again -- not for long, anyway....hehehehe

Good superpower? Teleportation. See the world and, by the way, make millions smuggling.

Pre-tasting and paper-ball-throwing. Now those are some good crappy powers. What a creative lot we have.

definitely to fly, invisible second. Flying invisible, even better!

Another good crappy superpower would be to locate lost keys. In other words go the "last place I looked is where I found them" place. I don't know how many times I've misplaced my keys and have spent minutes upon minutes searching for them, only to find them in the "last place I looked."

Can you imagine getting the lost key signal at 2:43 am.
The mayor: "Hey lost keys finder man, we have an emergency. Some lady can't find her keys to go home. QUICK no time to lose!"
Lost key finder dude: "Huh?? What??"

That would be so awesome!!

i wish my finger shot fireballs, lightening, law rockets, lasers...something that i could use to destroy all those who oppose me. especially while driving.

:hmm: You don't want to do this... I do this regularly, and it sucks, people walk into you, trip over you, ignore you completely... It'd be a crappy power... :hmm:

I want the power I had back in 7th and 8th grade.. I want to be able to make paper airplanes that can fly. and do tricks with a yo-yo, without hitting myself in the head.

Of course they're in the "last place [you] looked." Why would you keep looking after you found your keys?

My crappy super power would be the ability to poop live rattlesnakes.

Otherwise, my preference would be the ability to stop time for everything but myself.

Telekinesis. I could use that in so many different ways

Flight/invisibility.

I think the ability to read minds would be fucking awsome. But that would be a real crappy power if you couldn't control it, and everybody's thought kepted on popping in yout head. That would just drive me insane!

:thumbsup:

I think the bigger problem is whether you use your powre for good.... or awsome :D

You'd be classified as a paranoid schizophrenic.

I think invisibility is a dangerous superpower. Yeah, you can look at tits and all that stuff, but I would bet that sooner or later, you find out something you didn't want to know.

So for my real power, yeah, like everybody else, I'd choose flying. Second real power would be to have super speed. I'd love to make it from here to Hawaii in about 20 minutes.

I'm loving reading everybody's crappy powers. :lol:

For my own crappy power, I'd love to be able have all the dishes washed just by snapping my fingers.

Screw flying, Wishing. :D

You fly thru the air, guarentee you are going to get cold, at what altitude are you going to fly? So high that no one seens you, it's going to be colder, and there's that whole breathing thing... Plus what happens if it rains... or snows, or you just don't feel all that great...

I want to wish myself places...

I wish I was in Tahiti...

Isn't this the power of smell? If something smells like shit, chances are, it's probably gonna taste like shit.

Unless, I'm the only one with this power...Damn...I should have kept this a secret :hmm:

I would like the power to dim the head lights of people driving behind me with their high-beams on. I think that would be classified as a crappy power, but very useful.

Mind control. The ability to enter someones mind and control their body.

To look into the future---even just a couple of days.....

---of coarse they would eventually stop me from playing the lottory, but
I would be damn rich by then....

Wisdom.

Then I'd know what power I should have wished for.

Onmipotence.

Crappy power would be.....the ability to fill gas tanks at will. I'd charge like $10 for a fillup, I'd be rich.

^^ Yeah, that's what I'd pick, too.

To know the answer to any question. You could get ANYWHERE with that power.

Teleportation to whereever I'd want. Then I could steal so many things. I'd hit up bank volts, etc.

I would want the super power that lets me adopt other people's super powers. Sure, I know that's cheating, but hey, you're just mad you didn't think of it first. ;)

As for the crummy one, I'd pick an auto-cleaning power, but it would only aply to laundry; as in I could touch any piece of clothing, and then it would be clean.

The ability to change the weather at will would be cool.

Snow in August is everyones friend.

Good power. Time travel. It'd be so cool to go back and see the dinosaurs, watch geologic processes at high speed, see what was going to happen in the future...

Crappy power. The ability to unhinge my jaw so that I could dump whole bags of doritos in at a time. Maybe some 2 liter bottles of soda too. Additional crappy power would be to vomit them back up on command.

This thread went from boring to fantastic with the addition of the crappy power bit. THANKS!

That is by far the best crappy power i've seen!

well as you never edited your second post, you were clearly already well aware of the existence of the first. so you DO know how it got posted twice. My only question is why the second post, as opposed to just an edit.

anyways, i would want a pair of gills...but invisible gills so that no one thought i was a freak... is that crappy enough or too good?

Crappy power: the ability to conjure limitless quarters, for things like pay phones, laundry and parking meters.

Useful power: the ability to speak any language. Sure...flying, invisibility, invincibility--those are cool. But I'd be too tempted to use them for evil than for awesome. Keep it simple :)

the ability to transport one's self to another place in the blink of an eye

To automatically aphabetize my compact discs. Crappy usesless(to most) anyone but me.

crappy power huh ( also known as "Stupor powers" from teh RPG. )

flight... but realy crappy flight.. liek say max of 4inches from teh ground at 2miles an hour and i can only do it for 15ft at a shot. great party trink but thats about it

Good power - the power to heal up any injury, wound or sickness almost instantly
Crappy - The power to stay awake!

xray vision or mind reading :)

I think I would like to be able to stop time while still being able to continue on as if time had not stopped. Think of all the good practial jokes you could pull...

I would like the power of selective hearing, that way I could tune out most of the inane crap that I have to listen to every day.

useful power: telekinesis: oh, you say you just had a spontaneous orgasm? how curious... :)

crappy power: the ability to spontaneously give everyone around me the gift of correct spelling and grammar.

Hmmm .. if I could have one power. First thing that came to mind was electricity. Is that considered a power?
