If you had these 3 superpowers, what would you do
Vanity | 9/30/2009 | socialismislost

Posted on 09/30/2009 8:39:28 PM PDT by socialismislost

I was sitting thinking about superpowers and what I would do with them. I was recently asked if I could have any three superpowers, which ones would I choose and what would I do with them. I was interested if anybody else ever was asked this type of question and how they would respond.

For the record, I would choose the ability to fly, unlimited strenght, and invincibility.

There are lots of different superpowers, but if you had to choose 3, which ones would you choose and why?

Ok, but to answer your question, I’d want the power to deem any collection of letters that I want to be a valid scrabble word for a short amount of time (most likely, one game’s worth).

Not so dumb...

If I could have three superpowers....1. Invisibility 2.Strength
3. Lightning fast ability to fly

So far all my super human powers are defunct.

Interesting. Usually people only ask if you could pick 1 superpower, so I’d never thought about 3 of them. With 3 to choose you get a lot more flexibility :D

1. Teleportation. Better than flying, since you can get somewhere instantly. Plus, with teleportation, you are not limited by distance, gravity, or any of that nonsense. If you want to have brunch on the Moon, go for it.

2. Density Control. Basically, to be able to make yourself more dense (even harder than a diamond) or less dense (intangible - walk through walls). This is as good as invulnerability at either extreme, plus you get other benefits too. Also, this is kind of essential if you are teleporting into a place you are unfamiliar with, just in case you teleport yourself inside a wall, or a volcano or something.

3. Matter Creation/Transformation. So you could make anything you can imagine appear out of thin air. Not only could you say, create a pile of gold to finance your adventures, but you could make all sorts of crazy gadgets, or a supercool lair to hang out in. This would also be handy, in case you teleport yourself underwater or something, and you wish you had some scuba gear!

As for what I would do with them, that is a trickier question in my opinion. The temptation to flaunt the law and do as you please would be pretty great, but I think I would probably just set up with a nice big island fortress and set up all sorts of nasty defense systems to keep out any unauthorized intruders. After that, I would invite FReepers and other sensible folks to come populate this island of sanity and write their own constitution (hopefully a bit more explicit this time).

Once all that was taken care of, I would probably while away my time teleporting around the world pulling pranks on commie policitians and tyrants while they were on camera, to make buffoons out of them in front of their subjects.

x-ray vision

I have a clue as to why.

Super intelligence.

The ability to manipulate matter like Dr Manhattan or The Molecule Man. [This gives me all sorts of super abilities]

That second power covers so much, so as a third power I’d pick super regenerative powers to maintain health and longevity (though the 2nd power pretty much covers that for me, and my loved ones)

I’d start as a super villain. I’d probably be giddy with my powers and since nobody could stop me, I’d be free to take whatever I wanted. Then, I’d probably become a hero, helping out with natural disasters, fighting terrorists and their sponsors, and assisting in macro crises, but not fight day to day crime unless I happened to be on the scene.

It’s a harmless vanity.

1) Ability to heal people.
2) Ability to transport through space and time.
3) Invisibility.

I like your reasoning. With 3, there are unlimited combinations. I never was asked that type of question before.

LOL. I never thought my dumb first post would get many hits. I should have posted this on the weekend when everyone is having fun.
