Hammerspace.
Be able to pull out whatever I happen to need at the time from out of nowhere.
…do you ever need an RKO?

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.
I should re-watch Logan
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!!!
Wouldn’t you still age if you’re operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you’re suddenly aging rapidly.
I wouldn’t care. I’d walk out into the world to go see stuff and maybe change some things. I wouldn’t stay still or build a life with those powers.
Otherwise, you could look at Howard families by Heinlein for the solution. Which is also to move before people notice, but staying put for periods of time at a time.
Please don’t poke holes into my fantasy.
Haha! Fair enough. It’s your fantasy, so you determine the physics of it.
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
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.
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
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
What if you shift into an inanimate object? Do you just no longer exist? Can you change back?
The way it always works in media, no. They retain their consciousness and ability. I suppose they COULD do that if they chose, though it would basically just be killing themself.
Or just wish to be a Q.
Just a bunch of weird spinning snakes in a light with fog? No thanks
Dr Manhattan’s power, floppin dong and all
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.
So, Jumper.
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.
Probably, like Deadpool, your injuries would keep regenerating back to their current state.
If that happens to me, I’m coming for you, for cursing me!
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…
I want a Save and Load feature for myself in regards to reality.
You should see the Vat of Acid Rick and Morty episode if you haven’t already.
Quick save, from the web serial “The perfect run”
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.
couldn’t you just say “you are immune to my powers”?
And get minions to do the bulk of interactions without the hazard.
Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones
That’s #1 for me.
#2 is the Infinity Gauntlet.
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.
all fun and games until you accidentally cast viscous mockery while teasing your pals
“accidentally”, right
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.
Nah, you go for sheer fame with VERY public displays. Refuge in audacity to make it COMPLETELY clear you can not die so if you suddenly “go missing”, then government clearly took you to experiment
