Title: Superpowers
Post by: Pieguy on July 07, 2008, 05:48:58 pm
Woo.  I seem to be just spouting these random topics lately.  But anyway...

I personally would want to have elemental powers; being able to control the very forces of the Earth would be unspeakably awesome.

I have no need to vote for Badassery since I'm already the epitome of said choice.

That's right. I went there.

But to the person who voted for it already, you have a long way to go in ways of being the Baddest of Asses.

Those are LAME powers, what about mental control? You know, control others with your mind?

Anyway, on a serious note, I find that elemental powers are boring.  Yay, I'm the Scarlet Witch.  I'll take a flamethrower if I want fire, liquid nitrogen if I want ice, fire hose for water, etc.
Well yeah, but this is assuming you're a normal person without access to all those things; most people don't have those.  Besides, with elemental powers, instead of just shooting out a jet of fire, you can bend the fire to your will; more importantly, you have resistance to these elements (at least, that's how I interpret elemental powers; I'm not sure about the official powers and restrictions, if there are any).  But yes, I suppose having elemental powers is not quite as profitable as some of the other powers mentioned in the poll; however, I have imagined having elemental powers for a very long time, so I guess I probably am a little biased...

Fine, do you want me to make an entirely new poll?  I would be perfectly willing to do so, but I find it a bit unnecessary...

Yeah, flight was my second choice.  It's not a particularly strong power at all; the only technical advantage it has is being a method of quicker travel than walking (but of course, if you wanted that, then you would have chosen super speed).  The appeal of flight to humans is mostly aesthetic; the sensation of simply coasting through the sky, leaving all your worries behind, and telling gravity to STFU has enthralled humans for centuries.  I'm surprised more people didn't choose it...

Well yes... that is true, though my desires for it are a bit deeper than most, I would imagine.

I always choose flight on these topics. It would be incredibly useful, making transportation much less of a hassle. No worrying about maintenance or fuel costs, tickets, or schedules. Just step out the door and zoom off to wherever to you want to be.

I hate to say this, but super speed would be way more useful for that...

I suppose, but flying would be more fun to me.


Title: Re: Superpowers

Yes, in that regard, flying owns super speed.  I just thought that maybe you wanted flight only because of the transportation advantages, which would be (no offense) pretty dumb.

You know, power of flight would be awesome - but teleportation would be better. Particularly if it was like Goku's 'Instant Transmission' from DBZ.

Flight, it's the one I'd have the most fun with out of that list. In reality I'd like to charge...stuff...and make it do other superpowered things. For example I'd be able to make any rug/carpet fly or shoes that grant me superspeed or something. Why this power? because I hate just picking one thing.

Also, my carpet gets a better MPG than your car.

Woo, 36 options now!

My new vote would be power mimicry.  I would be able to switch between all of your powers.  10 powers (or so I'm guessing) for the price of 1!
Also, I hope to God that nobody chooses omnipresence...that...would...be...CREEPY...

Sorry for resetting all the votes, but I felt that there might be a good number of decision changes, and since some people might not come back and change their votes, it would give the general public a misinterpretation of the results.  (Don't ask me why the heck I care so much about this; frankly, I have no idea myself.)

Animation seems closest to my prefered power idea. Why do the dirty work when you can make things do it for you? Dishes that wash themselves :)

My power would be to never misjudge that final step while going up a flight of stairs. You know, how you'd raise your foot for that one last step THAT ISN'T THERE!!! Totally screws me up.

Post by: Mechadon on June 15, 2009, 01:52:13 pm
I've never done that, but just imagining it has me nearly "rofl'ing".

I want the ability to make people have to copy a video and show it to other people in order to not die.

And that video would be "Youth is for Exploding".

Quite a power there, Harm.

I remember where I heard the concept for my power. Can be found in this video.
