Legit, in the real world, wolverine's healing factor is the most useful. Other stuff is about tricks. His kind of healing means no cancer, no Alzheimer's, no strokes, no heart attacks, nada. A long, healthy life free of disease of almost any kind.
The only drawback is the semi-immortality. A long life watching others die would suck hard. It's already bad enough with a regular life span.
The ability to stop time and still interact with the world. Do you know how many books I have on my TBR?
Ok, but you still can age? so imagine being much older than your peers, they'll think you're sick ...lol
Hey......TommmmmmHOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU???
What?
You were 25 about 30 minutes ago.......now you look 92. What the fuck.....
Oh, yeah. That. I was just, ya know......jackin it.
Jesus Tom!!! How hard did you nut???!!!!
God's omnipotence, from the Bible.
And if that's not ok, then Avatar bending powers.
You couldn't find a more contradictory mythos if you tried, lol.
From Star Trek TNG, I would pick Q's power
shapeshifting
depending on how realistic you want to keep it the benefits go from "pretty nice" to "god amongst men" level:
the possibilities are endless
With gender dysmorphia wouldn't it be better just to morph your whole body to align with your gender identity instead of just the hormonesp p
yea probably, i said that cos it funny :3
Teleporpation including the clothes I’m wearing, whatever I’m bringing, and whoever I’m holding. No more dealing with traffic and parking, can travel anywhere in the world in an instant, can get into concerts/shows without tickets, and lots of other useful conveniences.
Dr Manhattan's power, floppin dong and all
I'd take Wolverine's healing powers. I have a few chronic injuries that I wrestle with, and it would be amazing to be free of pain. I'd also be able to be reckless again like I was when I sustained said injuries. It would also be pretty cool to smoke cigars, inhaling them the whole time, eat 10 pounds of bacon each week, and other generally deadly behaviors that could be quite enjoyable.
The older people are, the more they will appreciate that.
id choose super speed,
the kind where you also change your perception of time and everything just seems to slow down compared to you.
as long as i can change that speed, and am not stuck percieving everything at a crawl.
Nightcrawler teleportation. Could solve so many problems in this world caused by those who see themselves as untouchable....
Either Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones, or if I can cheat a little, Legion’s powers in Legion on FX. He sort of has multiple but they can all basically be chalked up to “mind powers” if we’re being loose with it.
For the record I’m not saying I want to be like Killgrave, he’s a disgusting small monster, but… his abilities are insane. Hard to resist something like that.
As for Legion’s, I mean I’d effectively be a god. Hard to pass that up, tho maybe not if it comes bundled with the schizophrenia.
I thought Killgrave was extra disturbing because you know that's exactly how someone with that power would become.
Just make the the founding member of the Q Continuum. I'll fuck off and leave humans alone.
Honestly this is a pretty good one. It’s basically the “any technology of sufficient complexity is indistinguishable from magic” answer. The Q Continuum were a weird mix of magic/super powers, and even demonstrated the ability to gift those abilities to others at will.
As an introvert a Bard loaded with charisma looks like a nice superpower to have, can't be more fictional than that.
Imagine dating: roll for seduction.
Nat 20, congrats you're now married.
Easy life.
The power gauntlet from avengers. Altering the very fabric of reality ? Heck yeah, sign me in. Here we go for my big tiddy goth catgirls harem fantasy, enjoy the ride. (Pun very much intended)
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
The immortality of Dorian Gray. Got to have that opt out of life.
I don't think someone could live forever and not decide that humanity isn't worth it and should perish at some point..
There are a lot of godlike beings who would be objectively the best choice.
I want the blink ability from the Dishonored video games. Basically a line of sight teleport but still it's awesome in the games.
I was going to say teleportation as in Jumper but going instantly to a place outside your field of view seems like trouble waiting to happen. Blink is already good enough.
Id personally choose power mimicry (the version where you just have to see a person using a power once and can just mimic it at any time) then I'd just build my set of powers
So.... There are no other people to observe with super powers...
"The Force".
Pick things up with my mind? Super speed? Super jumps? Jedi mind tricks? Premonitions? Force Conference Calls? Lightning? Chokes? Healing? Die and come back as a ghost?
Simple, I choose EveryMan's superpower from The Simpsons
Does it need to be noted as a superpower within the story? If not, I'm saying plot armour. I get to be safe in the knowledge I can't die or be taken out of action unless all plot threads that need me are resolved ahead of time.
There was this one minor character from a book whose title I can't recall (it was about a kid with a dragon eye behind his normal eye and he was transported to a magic realm, i cant remember much else. i read it almost 15 years ago) that can make one wish a day. Every now and again I remember that guy and wonder why he only settled to be a pro soccer player considering his powers lol.
