If you had to choose, what would be most fun and/or useful power from a movie, TV show, cartoon, book, games, or mythos? Include any drawbacks of the power that the source adds into consideration
Separating the silly and serious analyses would also be nice. (see various videos, articles, etc. on how certain superpowers would actually kill you, e.g. stopping time would mean you couldn’t breathe as the air cannot move)
Fictional universe, including Christianity? Omnipotence then
Omnipotence ofc. I will start by recreating logic itself such that it is possible for me to create a rock that is too heavy for me to lift it.
Path to Victory, from Wildbow’s web serial Worm.
It’s a two-part power. The first looks into the future to determine the exact set of steps necessary to accomplish any given goal, if it is at all possible to accomplish in any way. The second makes you execute those exact steps with zero chance of deviation or error.
It only fails when interfered with by another power also capable of seeing the future.
edit for grammar
This would definitely be mine too. Particularly if it was still jailbroken, as in the book.
In story, it could even cope with a lot of future sight powers. It was only the apex level ones that were on an even field with it.
The only downside is the erosion of your free will. It’s hard to make your own choices when this power is available to make them all for you.
I feel like if you avoided giving it long-term goals you could still retain most of your humanity. You could also mainly rely on the divination aspect, and avoid the perfect-execution aspect unless necessary.
Would still be the world’s greatest crutch, but the sheer power it offers is too tempting.
Don’t know but my dog is rubbing herself against the couch and I’m thinking she is working her way up from godess of static cling to godess of thunder.
Absolute control of atomic structures / telekinesis and psychic abilities.
The grandfather in the book Slipt. Amazing story.
This effectively allows:
Change chemical structures, transmutation, cure/remove illness
Cause strokes or embolisms from a distance with no evidence.
Hey that building full of people I didn’t like is now glowing from extreme amounts of radiation! Almost like the cement became a hugely unstable isotope suddenly. Weird.
Within a few days, the world would be forever changed.
I want whatever Saitama from One Punch Man have. It not just super strength and speed, its also invincibility, mindcontrol-proof, illusion-proof, or any mumbo-jumbo-proof.
If that’s cheating, i want whatever King have.
Well, Saitama told you his training routine. What are you waiting for? Get to it.
I’ll take omnipotence. Not sure what the drawbacks would be.
Everyone constantly asking you to do something for them that they bloody well could do themselves.
Just leave it as “read”.
That sounds like a solvable problem. Hell, with omnipotence all of the problems are solvable!
You’d never be able to microwave a burrito so hot you couldn’t eat it.
Not sure what the drawbacks would be.
You will soon find out :P
I’ll take a TARDIS, thank you.
YES
The powers of the Flash is nice, except for the destruction left in the wake of his movements.
Having the powers of Jumpers from the series by the same name seems to have good grounding as momentum is maintained during a jump getting passed the whole, earth and the solar system are moving not just earth rotating.
I want Domino’s luck. All the rest of your powers can get fucked. I’m god’s favorite.
Yeah, all the luck based powers seem ideal. Easy to also write off as just lucky!
It even beats saitama and ainz because it’s funny.
I don’t remember if you have to have been to a place before in order to teleport there, but if that isn’t the case, Jumper (movie) would be nice. No more commuting and no more borders/passports.
Based on the books you need an exact sense of the place. Not just sight, but smell and feel. The place needs to absolutely unique, in your mind. The photos are primarily an aid to recall.
Any universe? I’d like to be Bruce Wayne. Not Batman. Bruce.
Bad news for your parents.
Plot twist - op doesn’t like their parents
DJ daddies money!
Even though it’s not the most powerful thing in the world, I’ve always really vibed with Daredevil’s powers. I like the idea of being hyper aware of my surroundings and being able to sense movement, even from far away, without seeing it. Also, great for tracking people.
Okay
Stopping time for everyone and everything except for myself and stuff I directly touch (but not people)
Found a loophole haha
The world will be pitch black :)
And absolute zero.
Heat also travels
Heat is frozen, and stay the same
Heat is motion…
Exactly
No I mean heat is the effect of moving atoms bumping into things
And when its frozen, it wont just disappear
If you disagree, then weather isnt included in the freeze lol
Light travels usually.
It is also frozen
The not-selfish answer would be healing, with no arbitrary restrictions, preferably not attached to some divine power. Oh, you had leg torn off? Let me reattach that real quick. Got poisoned? I can cure that. You went blind? I can fix that…pass me some new eyeballs to attach.
Loved what Redo of healer did to make healer op. Id reccomend the gain experience/skills of ppl you are healing perk if possible.
