Title: If You Had To Choose A Superpower What Would You Choose?
Post by: Camo on December 27, 2011, 04:37:03 pm
So I saw this trailer for this new movie today and I thought why havn't we discussed superpowers?

If I had a superpower, it would be the ability to bend time and space, e.g. (time travel/ability to teleport) like Hiro out of Heroes.

Anyways the movie is called Chronicle, and its out Feb 2012.

The ability to control and space and time would be probably be the most potent supernatural power there is! I could live for infinite years.

Could backfire majorly if you are hearing bad things, hearing what everyone is thinking and backstabbing about everyone else e.t.c It would be good if you could turn it on and off though.

Anything to give me the power of the Melbourne Model.

That is all.  That is all I wanted for Christmas.

EDIT:  From killing double degrees to cutting faculties to threads to redundancies.  If that's not awesome, then I have no idea what is.

Teleportation.
I could just hold out a weapon like a knife, teleport so I'm literally right next to them and without even moving the knife at all it instantly kills.

Then again telekinesis could do a fair bit of damage. If I could control knives and boulders and just hurl them at other people from several kilometres away, there wouldn't be much they could do about that.

hahaha so many analogies, you must really like Heroes! Can you explain why they always said save the cheerleader save the world? They said it every 2 seconds and never explained it (or I missed the episode where it was all explained :P).

Yeah but it would be hard to control so many people at once and without sufficient weapons, it would take ages to kill people.
I reckon you need an AoE spell like the ability to create volcanoes in major cities or something.

I've thought of a really fun one:
Super gymnastic skills!
Like the ability to jump 10km in the air, do heaps of flips and stuff, travel faster than aeroplanes, do awesome parkour skills, land safely from any jump or fall etc.

But it really depends if I'm the only one with superpowers or if everyone in the whole world gets a superpower...

Why would you want to be able to teleport? Apparating would be heaps cooler and Wilky Twicross could teach you. :D

Yeah that would be so cool dressing in ghost clothing and scaring people!

There's the ink series where the dude writes stuff and it comes to life. I think that was idea of the book. I haven't read it but I heard about it.

I think I remember something like this on The Twilight Zone.

Yes but you would have to be careful not to make any noise!

Although if I wanted to go crazy, I'd probably choose to have the ability to manipulate reality as I see fit. Although that'd pretty much make me a god
