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

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'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.

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 like to be able to lick my eyebrows. That may or may not be a crappy power, depending on your perspective.

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.

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.

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.

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 |

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

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

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. |
