If you had one superpower what would it be?

Raiders Army · 09-24-2004, 12:21 PM

Thoughts please...I have an idea which will win, but I'm not sure.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-24-2004, 12:23 PM

The power to see invisible polls?

Raiders Army · 09-24-2004, 12:25 PM

Sorry, took me a while to type in the options.

rkmsuf · 09-24-2004, 12:25 PM

Where is Super Penis?

Raiders Army · 09-24-2004, 12:27 PM

That would be under elasticity.

gottimd · 09-24-2004, 12:28 PM

What about really fast finger nail growth?

Or the power to give others Scurvy?

Supersonic Flatulence?

JAG · 09-24-2004, 12:29 PM

Some fun options, but it'd be hard to pass up teleportation.

bbor · 09-24-2004, 12:31 PM

X ray eyes...for obvious reasons

rkmsuf · 09-24-2004, 12:32 PM

sovereignstar · 09-24-2004, 12:33 PM

Shapeshifting would be way too cool to pass up. You could have access to all sorts of places that no one else could dream of.

sovereignstar · 09-24-2004, 12:33 PM

Mind control. No question. It is the closest to the super hero I thought of "Bowel Control Man" The theory: If someone releases a load in their pants they forget about all else and you have them incapacitated.

The other one was created for a friend. P.W. Man. He has every power you could imagine, but in order to use them he needs his wife's permission...

Mind control.

rkmsuf · 09-24-2004, 12:50 PM

Wouldn't Bowel Control Man induce bowel movement as his power? Or never have to go to the bathroom?

Not you, yet. But don't push your luck ace.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 09-24-2004, 12:59 PM

Invisibility. Think of all the fun things you can do with that. I'd start with the Dbacks locker room.

DaddyTorgo · 09-24-2004, 01:00 PM

Obviously mind-control...but then again I'm just a...sick...sick freak. Still...it'd be nice...never have to pay for anything...can do whatever you want with no repercussions.

Bonegavel · 09-24-2004, 01:03 PM

Simple. Time Travel.

Nightly newscast: "Amazingly, one man has won 3 Power Ball jackpots in a row."

Raiders Army · 09-24-2004, 01:05 PM

I would tend to use time travel for historical purposes and meet people....that's after I won the Power Ball and bet on the Rams in the Superbowl.

rkmsuf · 09-24-2004, 01:07 PM

On a side note, what the heck good was Aquaman? My luck I'd get Aquaman powers.

DaddyTorgo · 09-24-2004, 01:08 PM

i feel like everything you could do with most other powers you could do with Mind Control. Like winning the lottery and stuff

Tigercat · 09-24-2004, 01:09 PM

I'd really really like to combine invisibility with time travel. Does wanting two incredibly passive powers make me a super-geek?

But you can't time travel with mind powers. Imagine being able to go back to see if there was this guy named Jesus (language barrier aside) or who killed Kennedy, or who shot JR, or who put their chocolate in my peanut butter? Can't do that with Mind Powers.

No, it just makes you in violation of the poll.

Raiders Army · 09-24-2004, 01:19 PM

Oh, to clarify, I would like to time travel ala Back to the Future without the Delorean, not time travel like Ashton Kutcher in the Butterfly Effect.

See the problem is, depending how far back you go you may have problems fitting in where you go. Clothing problems, overall appearence, customs, language barriers, ECT. Thats why I would like invisibility and time travel. Pretty much the ability to go anywhere anytime without many threats to your well being.

Then you might want to add teleportation in there as well. Time travel as a singular power isn't like the time travel in movies where you can go to different places in the world. Jeez...I would think that you would look at this in a more realistic light.

Understood, but the fun of the poll is that power selection is exclusive. Mix and match will have to be a different poll.

Actually, geekly enough I have! I could either steal money with my my invisibility now, and take short-enough plane trips. ORRRR I could go to the future, use fast transportation there, and time travel at the location from the future. Cause I mean, really, three super powers would be way too complex.

Super-strength will win this.
No, not writing that because I am supersticious.
We had that question in a recent IWS competition and strenght was the clear #1 answer.

Raiders Army · 09-24-2004, 01:49 PM

Surprisingly enough Super-Strength has no votes. The only other power with no votes is elasticity, to which Glengoyne wanted to change his answer.

Coffee Warlord · 09-24-2004, 01:51 PM

Mind control or shapeshifting. Both have amazing potential for mayhem and fun.

rkmsuf · 09-24-2004, 01:53 PM

Shapeshifting? Form of......a charging Rhino.

SplitPersonality1 · 09-24-2004, 01:59 PM

For me, shapeshifting wins hands down.

Or tentacles...or paws or .... whatever.

Nice.

To answer your question, I would, of course, travel to the spot i wanted to be in the present (with all the planes and such) and then time travel.

Silly Streak, tricks are for kids.
