The most op power in my eyes is super speed. You basically get infinite, on demand mass, strength and endurance, and can (assuming you can go really fast) time travel
That being said, the only super power I’d ever want is the ability to create fast-acting hormones of my choosing, with my nails acting as syringes when willed to be able to inject or secrete them

Attractive female, attractive male, invisibility
I’m the most beautiful creature on earth, and only I decide who gets the privilege of knowing it
Wouldn’t “chameleon” be enough for that? Or “shape shifter”?
That depends on what chameleon means exactly. Does it let you change color, is it more like a predator cloak, or is it like being an octopus, or is it more like being able to blend in through body language and pheromones and become kind of hidden, or being a social chameleon who can fit into any circumstances. It’s kind of a vague word without any more description.
It still would be like Makeup, hiding blemishes and stuff, but yeah, thinking about it again, it might just be shapeshifting.
That would mean you could turn into an attractive form but you wouldn’t be inherently attractive in your own.
Shapeshifting doesn’t have any limitations in this picture, so you might as well choose a form and stick to it as your new standard. The chameleon might only function as a kind of makeup, where you temporarily hide your blemishes, I’m not sure.
Easy: Attractive Female, Attractive Male and implants.
“What kind of implants?”
“Yes.”
Vibrating hand.
This is so imbalanced and vague.
People used to go full on Rainman designing these CYOAs.

What exactly are divine powers? Are you basically the blue dude from Watchmen?
1 level 2 and 2 level 1 Cleric spells
I can’t even Remove Disease?! Fuck that shit!
Yeah, that one could easily include all the others and more
Is that… Cartman?
Episode Fun with Weapons, I think was the name. It’s about the boys being obsessed with anime warriors and their weapons. This is the anime persona of Cartman.
It was probably one of the funnier episodes. Highly recommend!
🎶 Let’s fighting love! 🎶
The religion is Shinto and you gain the powers of a kappa
The religion is Greganism. Greg believes in Ferraris and Skittles.
divine is religion based. like spawning 6 arms and dividing oceans. powering things up by blessing and being able to seal or banish evil.
dr. manhatten is physics based. he could maybe do similar things, but his powers are not magical. he can’t force a spirit to stay in a piece of armor or things like that.
A very interesting explanation. Totally enjoy the physics aspect! Maybe that can ne the radiation power??
Isn’t divine powers all of these?
Attractive male, insanely rich, intellect.
Y’all have fun being superheroes. I’m gonna enjoy the fuck out of life.
Why would you pick intellect if you wanted a good time? Isn’t ignorance bliss?
Yes but that haven’t received the intelligence power yet so they don’t know that
There’s no rules that says having powers mean you have to be a superhero
Anyone who is planning shenanigans and doesn’t take phasing or teleportation is asking for it. Sooner or later some government entity or another is going to try to put you in some kind of prison and you’d better have an escape card. Especially if you also take immortality. If you’re immortal and some asshole Cask of Amontillados you, you’re going to be pissed off about it forever.
And is “divine powers” just a free combo deal of magic, invisibility, and immortality?
If you take immortality, you also probably need to take healing. Being mortally wounded and unable to die sounds, uh, bad.
See. I thought “immortal” was “non-ageing” and impervious to cancer and Alzheimer’s, etc. I took Healing because I felt it closed the injury loophole.
Of course teleport because life may not be too short but I’m still going to mars and I don’t have to learn the katana. #thereCanBeOnlyOne
Insanely rich: cheat codes for a comfortable life.
Shapeshifter: renders attractiveness options irrelevant and has enormous utility.
Psionics or magic, depending on strength and utility. For pscionics it really depends on how broad a range we’re talking about. If it’s just one thing or two things, nah. Being able to fling things around with my mind and pyro/cryo/electrokinesis are all tangently attached to telekinesis is great. But so is being able to throw fireballs in reanimate the dead. So really it would depend on the rules and mechanics for the magic/psionic systems. I think pscionics if it’s more like The Force or something strong from GURPS or RIFTS, magic if it’s something strong from RIFTS or D&D. If both are awesome then I’d pick whatever has the most utility probably. Especially since magic can duplicate psionic abilities using certain magic systems. But if it’s lame magic or requires something like Faustian pacts or answering to any kind of more powerful entity, screw that. But depending on the mechanics, psionics and magic are just different kinds of magic systems.
Tldr, being a stupidly rich shape-shifting reality bender sounds like the life.
Give me arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation in the simulation we live in and I’ll be satisfied.
I’d like that too, but I don’t know how to program so it’d turn out to be a pretty cruel joke. I’d need that plus access to interdimensional internet so I could download scripts and be a scriptkiddy of reality.
Just need Magic and you can do all of the other things
Immortal, invulnerable, teleport. I can be where I want to be, when I want to be, until the end of time.
I recently realized how much I say my password in my head while typing it. For me, I’d swap invulnerable with telepathy and steal all the passwords!
But you age.
Even if “immortality” is the sucky kind, invulnerability kind of implies that you’re immune to the aging process.
The fact that invulnerability is on the list strongly implys that “immortality” just means agelessness.
Teleportation, invulnerability, siphon abilities.
And then I teleport to everyone in the thread.
Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.
Comic adaptation when?
【 That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon 】
Yeah, the power gamer one is siphon abilities plus whatever two give the best advantage with that. Though psychic might be enough to negate any other, plus would help figure out where to get the others.
Though it’s hard to meta game with just ability names. Like it could be god tier where teleportation works like you said and can be used on its own to find things or people, or it could be the kind where using it at all is risky because you might end up inside a wall.
Psychic could mean you can freely look into the future, past, and present (like knowing your opponent’s poker hand). It could mean you get a warning if you need to deal with danger. Either of those could make invulnerability unnecessary (along with very rich, intellect, physical fighting, and others). Or it could just be con artistry like psychics that sell their “abilities” in the world we live in.
Siphon abilities might be permanent, temporary, or might require contact with the ability owner to use the ability. Maybe you get a copy of the ability or the original owner loses their ability. Maybe it applies only to powers on the list or maybe to any skill/ability.
Magic and divine power are especially vague, could be anything from the most powerful on the list (maybe even including everything else on the list already) to what real life magicians and priests can do.
Just give me being attractive and fuck the rest.
Isn’t all of this magic?
oh yeah, the magic of “insanely rich” 😄
