Okay, this has caused me to rethink my choice. I would now like to be Inolfactible, but with the ability to make others' genitalia prehensile.

That would be my choice.

I lol'd.

I always have a hard time with this question. I'm currently reading Stephen King's new book, "11/22/63," so I'm thinking about the ability to time-travel, but I just finished reading a vampire novel, so I'm also thinking about immortality.

Can I pick vampire with the ability to travel in time? Or is that getting greedy...?

So the Genie tells the guy on the beach, "you've got one wish."
The guy says, "I want to own a toll bridge between New York and The UK."
The Genie says, "that's really noble and nice but do you understand the logistics there? That's going to be tough even for me! What else do you want?"
The guy thinks a few minutes and finally says, "I'd like to understand the way women think."
The Genie pauses for a few minutes, scratches his head and finally asks him, "you want six lanes or eight?"

My appendix and I parted ways last week, so right now some Wolverine-style healing sounds pretty good.

Since I, too, have the Parking Karma, I am pretty grateful right now for the superpower I do have.

mind control

Teleportation

Yep. Telekinesis, the practical joker's best friend.

No Clipping

Gotta have time manipulation.

mind control wins all.

The ability to breathe under water and be able to handle pressure down to the deepest depth of the ocean.

People miss the subtle awesomeness that is weather control. Exhibit A: Storm from X-Men. She could use wind currents to fly and still control all forms of weather.

Nifty things you can do with weather control:
- Smite your enemies
- Free electricity (tree hugger approved)
- Fly
- Mold a landscape to your liking
- Increase crops yields
- Carry a fart as far away as you'd like

To all of you that didn't select this option. I find your lack of imagination disturbing.

time travel

Brainiac

I would choose the ability to control metal like Magneto from X-men... and then buy out all buckyballs from woot... then.... profit?

Sorry, that's precognition, but focused. I'd hate to be precog, always being distracted by seeing future events. (think of the movie: Next).

If you had teleportation (think of the movie: Jumper), you could think yourself to any location you can see or have been to before. Most likely you would have a mass/weight limitation too, or you would overtax your ability.

No need to know the future because you could just go into the future and see it for yourself. Control of time trumps all except for super strength, but who needs super strength unless you needed to lift something super heavy.

Well, seeing as how space/time/gravity are all related you should still be able to lift heavy things. At the very least, 9.8 m/s^2 isn't very much acceleration when a second is a year.

time manipulation FTW

teleportation, come on, invisibility is creepy haha

My superpower would be the ability to read people's thoughts to find their true intentions.

My buddy said that this superpower would probably cause me to kill myself if I knew what EVERYONE actually thought about me. Not sure if that was specific for me or anyone with that power.....?

The ability to live forever so continuous cellular regeneration would be the power.

Like the Centauri?

Invisible at will

OBVIOUSLY some form of teleportation/apparition. Morning commutes suddenly disappear.

But for the consistently absent-minded, a Harry Potter-style Summoning Charm could be incredibly useful.

MIND control - what else would you need!!

Invisibility, definitely!

I want to be able to see the universe end. I'm upset that our own time on this Earth is not even a spec when compared to celestial time. I want to see galaxies crash into one another in what we perceive as real time. I would love to see Black Holes consume our universe and create another Big Bang which starts the whole cycle over again but with different celestial bodies to inspire future civilizations on unknown planets. Yeah, sucks I can't watch it.

Telekinesis or Teleportation.

Wisdom to deal with what I already have

I want to have self-control. No one has that one!

Everyone says flight I'd just use my super strength to jump far, I'm sure it's close enough to flight for me 2 gifts for 1, sure my fellow w00ters are all about getting the best deals
