Easy answer for me: the ability to telekinetically poop someone else's pants. Tired of your boss getting on your case? Poop his pants. Want to pull a good prank on the pastor? Poop his pants. Tired of watching a player light up your favorite basketball team? Poop his pants.

Omnipotence

Green Lantern. That dude can be or have anything.

fantastic!

I would love the power to grant my own wishes, or those of others as I see fit. Not be a genie or jinn mind you I would have all the power and be my own boss. with that power alone I could have them all!

Mind reading and control

Not even close. Predict the future

If you had shape shifting, wouldn't you have all of them?

FORM OF A DODO!!!!!!!!

Wanna bet? The one thing he couldn't have: a good movie. HAHAHA!

Invisibility for myself and everything I am wearing or carrying.

Invisibility..... HELLO :-)

1. Invisibility
2. Shape Shifting
3. Time Travel
4. Ability to eat anything I desire in any quantity with no negative weight or health effects. The buffet is a sexy siren and the dessert tray is a liar.

Flight: Lease a private jet or helicopter.

Super-strength: Lease a construction crane, hydraulic press, or whatever else is required for the specific feat of strength.

Super-speed: Buy a Formula One race car.

Weather control: Build a fleet of cloud-seeding planes, orbital atmosphere-heating lasers, or whatever else is required.

Shape-shifting: Instead of changing into something, just buy it.

The Insanely Wealthy power works equally well for superheroes and supervillains.

It worked out well for Batman!

But I would go for time control. To be the master of time and space. Yatow!

Electrokinesis, which, by Maxwell's equations, also gives magnetokinesis.

I'd want to be a super genius with a huge brain. I can always invent other things that give me more powers.

I gotta go with super intelligence.

mind control.

you could pretty much do anything you wanted at that point.

Telekinesis would allow you to fly, have super strength, and possibly super speed. It's really no contest at all. Plus you can make someone else poop their pants, right Jweb? Hilarious!

The power to understand women.

I selfishly chose super strength. In retrospect weather control would benifit millions every day.

If I had to pick one... it would be the ability to stop time freezing everything around me.

Perfect recall of everything I see and hear. (Although I wouldn't turn my nose up at the Zack Morris Time Out, either.)

The power to make imagination reality. Then I can have any super power I can imagine...

Yes, it would definitely be invisibility!!

I'd be the "One-Up" guy... You can do what? I can do that too... Only better.

Duh, immortality.

fzzywolf wrote:Invisibility to be sure, flight would be cool, but I'd prefer immortality without the whole killing-people-for their-life-essence-thing.

Problem with immortality is; life sentence in jail, trapped under rubble in Haiti; trapped in a room on the Titanic, accident causing paralysis, etc... Many cases occur that could make you not want to have immortality. Just saying...

Wait a minute, my avatar tells me you have that power!

in·vul·ner·a·ble (n-vlnr--bl)
adj.
1. Immune to attack; impregnable.
2. Impossible to damage, injure, or wound.

Flight/Teleportation/Invisibility/et all, can be stabbed/shot, hit by car, rendered unconcious then thrown from high building, sucked in jet engine or blasted with death ray.

It is also likely that since you cannot be harmed that one could develop greater than human strength through aggressive weight training.

Only other real alternative would be a type of mental power...after all, These are not the droids you are looking for....Move along.

Please...this is a serious discussion. You're just talking complete fantasy.

Flight is great until you fly too high and black out, then fall to your death. Super strength is great except without invulnerability, you break your own bones a lot. Super speed is great until you run too fast and air friction burns you up. Weather control is great until you mess up the world's weather patterns and kill millions of people in a drought or a flood. Invisibility is great until you notice you're blind. You have no retina or lens to focus light. There are more.

I'll go with shape shifting. Which is great but you have to be the mass that you are now when you shift. Otherwise if you shift into say, a mouse, where does the mass go? Does it turn into energy? That means you change once and become an incredibly powerful nuclear bomb.

Telepathy/Mind Control. Only way I'll ever be able to get my hands on a Big ol' Cornucopia.

If you're on the staff then make it happen, Matt! I agree wholeheartedly. This was a dream of mine since I was a wee lad. Women's locker rooms...nuff said.

Well played, danreyna...

I'm all for immortality. I wanna live to see the end of the universe.

It depends on whether everyone around me would have powers. If not, flight. If so, the Haitian's ability from Heroes to nullify all powers around me.

I'd go with shape-shifting. Mostly because with that power I can get just about anything else I want.

Flight? Change into a bird.
Strength? Change into a rhino/elephant/bear/beast of burden
Speed? Bird, cheetah, fish, (dependent on environment)
Invisibility? Chameleon (yeah I know it doesn't quite work that way, who cares?)
Invulnerability? Exoskeletal armor.

And besides, I could REALLY mess with people. I'd be a hit at costume parties.

Definitely teleportation! I'd love to just blink or snap and be at my destination.

I'll take shapeshifting. Better still, I'll take a girlfriend with the ability to shapeshift... definitely a better situation.
