Hammerspace.
Be able to pull out whatever I happen to need at the time from out of nowhere.
…do you ever need an RKO?
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!!!
Time stop can also be used for bad things like r**e and murder
I mean, it can? Feel like most super powers can be used for bad things. That’s where all of the good guys get bad guys to fight.
With great power must come great responsibility
Wouldn’t you still age if you’re operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you’re suddenly aging rapidly.
Please don’t poke holes into my fantasy.
Haha! Fair enough. It’s your fantasy, so you determine the physics of it.
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.
God is omnipotent? Well…that explains why Mary was still a virgin.
From Star Trek TNG, I would pick Q’s power
Congratulations, you’re now a great trumpet player.
Fuck ya, best choice so far.
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…
My other concern is at what point do you withdraw from society because your age doesn’t match your appearance?
Imagine going to get a passport or driver’s license and saying I was born in 1895 but my face says I was born in 1985.
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)
I would appreciate an invite
It will be here in a snap
But what will it cost you?
Everything, and it will be worth it.
Are you willing to be one of the big tiddie goth catgirls? I ask fully aware that a LOT of people would say yes.
Its a sacrifice I’m willing to make
(I’m a 6’2 hairy brown man)
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
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.
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.
Dr Manhattan’s power, floppin dong and all
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…
He could mimic Elon Musk and become a supervillain.
He could steal his banger dance moves.
You mean an arrogant loser with terrible vehicle design skills?
Does that mean other people in this hypothetical world have superpowers as well?

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.
Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just… Accidentally.
You get frustrated, yell “Shut up!” at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.
Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones
That’s #1 for me.
#2 is the Infinity Gauntlet.
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.
Simple, I choose EveryMan’s superpower from The Simpsons
shapeshifting
depending on how realistic you want to keep it the benefits go from “pretty nice” to “god amongst men” level:
- backpain? just fix your back
- toothache? grow new teeth
- don’t feel like going to the hairdresser? shift into a different hairstyle
- gender problems? forget HRT you can make hormones science doesn’t even know about
- aging is no more (if you want)
- donate all the blood you want! hell you can donate your heart if you find a doctor that doesn’t ask questions
- mental fog getting you down? just fuckin change your brain. “is it still me after?” don’t know don’t care now go revolutionize physics Einstein
- grow a tail
the possibilities are endless
Or just wish to be a Q.
Just a bunch of weird spinning snakes in a light with fog? No thanks
