Morphing or Telekinesis - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Mr. Spacemonkey · 08-18-2003, 01:33 PM

Thanks to 32v4c, who made the thread about flying and invisibiliy for this idea.

Just wondering which superpower do you think would be cooler?

Telekinesis, the ability to move objects with your mind or

the ability to morph into anything or anyone you want.

wario · 08-18-2003, 01:50 PM

Morphing, absolutely.
Get special treatment whereever you go by morphing into celebrities.

snicka · 08-18-2003, 02:20 PM

telekinesis would be my vote. Think of the practical jokes you could pull. Plus you could have a very lucrative job as a thief, unlocking doors from the inside with your mind.

sixate · 08-18-2003, 02:43 PM

Morph. I'd stary by morphing into hot chics and play with myself all day. Or I'd morph into Brad Pitt and bang hot chics all day.

Miserlou · 08-18-2003, 07:18 PM

Telekinesis. Morphing is good for getting respect and chicks and all, but would utilize telekinesis to get the money (thievery, gambling, .......construction work). Plus it is the ultimate weapon, I could throw whatever the hell I want at you. Eventually may be able to stop bullets too. Once your as powerful as that you don't need to be someone else to get the chicks.

virus · 08-18-2003, 07:46 PM

can we further define telekenisis? can i undo clothing?

This discussion reminds me of the Tenacious D song, Wonderboy:

Quote:

Now it's time for me to tell you about young Nastyman, archrival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy! What powers, you ask? Well, how about the power of flight? That do anything for ya? (That's levitation, Homes.) How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away... with mind bullets! That's telekinesis Kyle. How about the power... to move you.

Nastyman has it all, I'll take those powers!

Sledge · 08-18-2003, 08:51 PM

Great topic, tough choice... I'd have to say morphing, because I've always been hung up on the whole Houdini thing - if you could take any shape, you can escape anything and go anywhere.

Splice · 08-18-2003, 08:59 PM

Morphing sounds cool! Wow, just imagine being able to turn into almost anything! Kinda like the Terminator guy in T2 - the liquid-metal guy.

Loki · 08-18-2003, 11:55 PM

Morphing for sure. Imagine being able to morph into an eagle, and soar the skies, or into a cheetah, or even to try being different people... the possibilities are endless.

(on an aside, can you morph into someone who has telekinetic abilities?

)

...Until somebody morphs into an Ebola virus, infects you, and leaves.

Nefir · 08-19-2003, 06:09 AM

Telekinesis for me. I can be my good old self, except with a very useful new ability! If someone is being a disruptive asshole, a swift smack to the back of the head will adjust their attitude. Especially from the other side of the room. Where he can't see me. Heehee!

And the ladies will no doubt be impressed by the magic happening as I pass by. Aah yes, what more could plain regular powerless guy want?

How True...you said it bro

ObieX · 08-19-2003, 10:05 PM

It would depend on how powerfult he abilites were for me. If there were no limit i would go with Telekinesis. The possibilities are endless.

If someone pissed me off i would make no jest about who the retaliation was coming from. Your ass would be flung through a wall. What are you gonna do?

And you could fly too, no morphing into a bird for me - just lift myself with my mind.

Needless to say i would be one bad motherfuc*shut yo mouth!*

mastboy4 · 08-20-2003, 09:37 AM

yeah telekinesis is way useful, i wouldnt have to leave the couch

MSD · 08-20-2003, 09:03 PM

Is Nickelodeon already bringing back reruns of "The Secret World of Alex Mack"?

hawkeye · 08-20-2003, 09:33 PM

I think that TK would be the what I would pick. yes, morphing would be cool, but that whole < waves hand> and things start moving... Soo many possibilities for a practical joker....

telekinetic2 · 08-21-2003, 05:30 AM

<------I think it would be rather obvoius which one I would choose. And I'm pretty emphatic about it...to any dissenters i cry Matrix! Ma-a-a-trix! Because neo's powers are all basically telekinetic....

lemming · 08-21-2003, 04:26 PM

morphing for sure

The_Dude · 08-21-2003, 07:59 PM

morphing! i could be a power ranger!

and so many other cool stuff

Ilaek · 08-21-2003, 09:38 PM

Morphing

Why?

Getting mugged? Turn into a wolf!

Need to fly? Turn into a bird!

Get passed a locked door? Turn into a bug!

Want to scare the living shit out of someone? Grow some spikes!

XenuHubbard · 08-21-2003, 11:35 PM

All you Telekinesis people - what would you do if somebody decided to morph into an invisible poisonous vapor?

telekinetic2 · 08-22-2003, 07:34 AM

I'd fly away....

I don't plan on becoming a superhero with it, therefore don't think I need to plan for encountering supervillians. I just picked the one that would be the most fun in everyday life, and make life the easiest. I guess morphing could get you a lot of things too, but, honestly, who's got cooler powers?

Neo or Mystique? Or Magneto, for that matter, whose only power is metal-limited telekinesis...think if magneto could affect all matter, he'd be nearly invincible...he practically is now.

Besides, I always like the 'sleeper' aspect...you could be making stuff happen and pretending to not have anything to do with it. :-)

Moonduck · 08-22-2003, 08:14 AM

TK would definitely be more useful, and more fun. Morphing would have it's moments, but I like being me. I would think there would be an attendant loss of identity and self image.

(Gotta bring it back to philosophy)

GakFace · 08-23-2003, 12:49 AM

hmmseeing how its kinda limitless. time for me to be a munchkin

I'll take morphing..

As I'll then morph into "myself" that can fly and turn invisible and move things with my mind.....

hehehe thats the way to go

Beltruckus · 08-25-2003, 10:30 AM

Morphing all the way, want to get backstage morph into a security guard or one of the band member, you could get anywhere with morphing hell just turn into a fly. want to spy on someone there are a million everyday objects you could turn into. And if you wanted to get really dirty you could morph into a pair of panties to be worn that day by a bodacious babe. Watch out for the monthly curse though.

legolas · 08-26-2003, 09:27 AM

I guess morphing... although I have thought about this for a few minutes now. lol, it's a close call.

JBX · 08-26-2003, 10:32 AM

Telekinesis, since childhood.

you mean you have had telekinesis since childhood? wouldn't you want morphing to try something different?

Xiangsu · 08-28-2003, 08:10 PM

Morphing all the way. With morphing you could live forever by always changing your age.

Mr. Spacemonkey · 08-28-2003, 08:37 PM

With morphing, you could still die, just not from old age. I mean, if someone came up and shot you, you couldn't really morph your way out of that one. You could still get murdered, you just couldn't die from natural causes.

The chances are pretty good that you would die eventually.

mystmarimatt · 08-29-2003, 11:56 AM

tough choice...i'd have to go with morphing though....only because i'm a horny bastard

DownwardSpiral · 08-29-2003, 06:22 PM

Telekinesis, in my opinion. Would be fun to scare the bejesus outta people with your mind alone. Could do many things with telekinesis. Many, many things. . .

Mr. Moe · 08-29-2003, 07:10 PM

Telekinesis for sure, great way to start a conversation with Jean Grey *remembers his comic book days
