Flying, i always had a fantasy about just beibg able to fly superman style, fast, slow or just floating
You know how some people have photographic memory and memorize everything they hear once for their entire lives?
I want the other side of that coin where I can look at something or think about anything for a while and immediately understand entirety of it.
Not formal understanding with all the equations and chemistry at atomic level, but more like someone explaining the equations and chemistry of it to me should “click” intuitively.
It would be really fun to go around learning random subjects.
To make people know stuff and experience stuff.
Then I’m just gonna travel the world to get people educated, see the other side of the story, think independently, etc. Like I think those are if you have the experience of it once then you know how to do it on your own.
There will be all those mind control moral dilemma of free will and bias and stuff I think rising up o along the way, so that could be the complicated part, the self-justification of power. I don’t really care for being just though so I think it’s just going to be all jolly.
I think with that we should be able to get some people to stop fighting and be happy at least. Probably make some part of the society more functional as usually the system always break at some point but good men along makes stuff work. Though it’s another jump from educated men to good men :)
I feel like what some of you guys miss. Here is understanding what makes life fun. Certain superpowers would make life criminally boring and the goal would be to get power so that you can do what you want with your life, try different things out, be safe and secure, but still have a life that has meaning.
If you are too overpowered or have things that allow you to see way past what being human is, then you’d be stuck all alone looking at humans that look like ants to you and you’d be bored out of your skull. I kind of feel like that’s what Dr. Manhattan was except I think the reality would be worse.
You have to look at what phase two of this super power would be. I kind of like the save point one or something that gives you control to do what you want, but you still have to deal with the consequences. That way you gain a lot of control over your life, but you still have to live it with consequences. It would kind of be like winning the lottery. It would be turning the video game on easy mode, but not making it so easy you don’t want to play.
I would like to become Gigalomaniak, and let my delusions become reality. So basically reality warping, there are many fun things to do with such ability.
Dr X level Psionic powers, mind reading and mind control
Teleportation for sure.
I would like to having healing powers of some kind.
Healing powers 100%
But if I’m being selfish/lazy, I’d copy Ezra from Fairy Tail, she can swap out her armor and weapons instantly. I’d use it to always have a rain coat, umbrella. Fall over in bed and be instantly be PJs, wake up stay and in comfy cloths right until I get to work. Climb up a ladder and never have to go back down for a tool. Spill food all over, and instantly have a new shirt. Get mugged and swap over to appropriate armor and a heavy assault weapon.
The ability to know everything.
If not, then the metabolism where I can eat anything and not get fat.
For me, probably to always have the right thing to say for every situation. Doesn’t have to be the truth, just so long as I can convince the other side or win an argument. It’s as close as I’d get to mind control maybe without the glowy eyes and actual powers.
To know how my actions will affect the future and the brainpower to process the shear endless possibilities. The longer the time frame is the more powerful it gets.
Could go a bit like a butterfly effect: I know if I get a croissant this morning the store will run out and the assistant of some hedge fond guy won’t be able to get him one. So, he’s grumpy all day and crashes the marked.
More direct: I know how I have to throw the dice to win at the casino, which numbers I have to pick for roulette or the lottery.
Wandering into Fort Nox because I know when and where the guards are.
Brute forcing every password with the first try.
Knowing basically everything because, let’s say the time frame is a week, there’s a future in which I choose to read any one book, article or paper in that time and I know what’s is in it. Everything not written I can get out of people. Get it through asking them, drug, seduce, or torture them without actually doing any of it because it’s enough that there’s a future where I could do that. Of cause I could just guess and see in which future I was correct.
With a timeframe of a year I could tell scientist what they would have achieved in that year with unlimited funding and leapfrog any discovery that way. Which could get continued ad nauseam, day one I tell them what they would have achieved after a year, day two I tell them what they would have achieved after a year with the knowledge of day one, etc.
Would make for a very boring super hero movie though. Solving all the problems before anyone even knew that there’s one. Dispose all the problematic world leaders without getting caught and pulling all the money out of the stock market to solve world hunger.
You wouldn’t wander into Fort Knox because you’d already know what we store there these days. It’s not where we store the gold anymore. I seriously doubt you’d want the stuff that does get stored there these days.
A healing touch.
If you extend that to “manipulating organic matter by touch” you could not only heal them but also fix that crooked nose that always bothered them but wouldn’t count as illness or injury. Makes more people more happier. You could also grow them wings or cat ears ;-)
The power in Jumper would be damn legit. Teleportation.
Criminally under rated movie.
That is still one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. It’s so good! It got so much flak but I really enjoyed it. The concept was very interesting and I really wanted to see where it could’ve gone. I felt like they could’ve done better in the movie but still, I’ll take what I can get.
I always wondered why the jumpers were even struggling against the paladins, though. I mean… they could jump literally anywhere in the world instantly. How are the paladins even able to catch up at all even with the tech they had? It was ridiculous. They also didn’t use guns? I didn’t get it, lol.
Definitely the ability to speak/communicate deeply with animals.
