If you could have any super power(s)

I'd take Superman's powers but dress like Batman

in the real world you'd almost have to...cause lets face it, the glasses thing would never work. But a nifty mask could solve that. :up: Nice idea Carter.

superstrength and flight

These two are delicately balanced, but one would ponder whether or not there would be any speed to the flight, or are you capable of flying at the same speed as you are running.
 
Superman's powers are the best. I'd go with those. Since Kryptonite doesn't exist, I'd be in good shape.

Second choice, I'd probably say Wolverine's Powers or maybe Spidey.

Unfortunately none of these people have telekenisis or invisibility which are also quite cool
 
The interesting thing about choosing the abilities/powers we want is that they are based on our subjective desire to have these skills that quite possibly complement different personalities.
 
personalities///whole different story. I'd have to give it more thought.

Well, when a person ponders it, everyone is choosing a particular power to have based on some archetype. Perhaps this archetype fits into our preconceived views of what we individually desire to have or what we already may have, but enhanced to an even greater level.

make use of your abilities?


Superspeed, Superstrength, Healing Factor.

Would you have a secret identity?
Yes


Would you help people on a local or global level?
Global



If you discovered you had certain abilities, would you let anyone know, and if you would, who would inform?
I would inform those of whom I think would not try to take advantage of me.



Do you think you would give up relationships with the opposite gender so that they wouldn't be at risk if you had powers?
I doubt it, but it depends.


Finally, would you not use the abilities for fear that the government might want to "study" you and find out more about your powers?
The government should fear me.

basically, if you're going personally, I feel a need to protect. Blame it on things that have happened in my life, but I feel the need to stnad up for people and if posssible to save them from their troubles...which is likely why I'd like Superman's powers...

Well that depends....would powers be things you lack and desire and therefore manifest as a result of that? or would they be extreme hyperboles of your existant personality traits (i.e. a shy person becomes invisible)?

I forgot to do all this:

Would you work in an occupation that would make use of your abilities?

Probably not. I'd like to be an artist or filmmaker...I'd still do that. Superman could make a killing as a one-man demolition crew, but he doesn't, now does he. I'd be like that.


Would you have a secret identity?

Yes. It may end up like Buffy or Smallville Clarke where its "sort of secret" but I wouldn't tell people about my powers.


Would you help people on a local or global level?

Hard to answer. I'd do what seems prudent. Take it on the fly.


If you discovered you had certain abilities, would you let anyone know, and if you would, who would inform?
I'd inform my close friends and allies in the fight vs evil. That's all.


Do you think you would give up relationships with the opposite gender so that they wouldn't be at risk if you had powers?

I already have intimacy issues. wouldn't be hard.


Finally, would you not use the abilities for fear that the government might want to "study" you and find out more about your powers?

I wouldn't not use them, but I'd try to stay under the radar or get a superhero identity.
 
I'd like all of Superman's powers with those of Professor X.


I work in sales: Xavier's power would be handy in helping me know whether someone is serious about working with me.....or give them a little nudge too sign that contract!! BWWWahahahHahaha!!!!!!!!!!! :up:

I would be another form of Symiote. A white Symbiote, with the sam e powers as venom, but with one addition, i would be able to harness energy from the Earths Core, to give me the power of teleportation, but the further the distance, the weaker i grew until i generated more energy, or harnessed more. (Everyone needs a weakness and mine would be supersonic frequencies,as normal symbiotes and Sand) WHich would make epic battles with sandman. Serum would be my name. The occupation would be full time serum, i would never leave the suit unless i had to. oh, and the suit will have the capability of morphing me into mimicking anyone, but my vocal chords would be the same a s another slight downsight. (jesus im ripping a lotta characteers off... ah well)

Would you have a secret identity?

Yes, if people found out, they would go straight to the kill list, so say the Daily Bugle finds out, i go on a rampage in the city.

Would you help people on a local or global level?

I would be a local vigilante / Super villan, I would deal with petty muggers, but would commit many inncocent deaths for some reason.

If you discovered you had certain abilities, would you let anyone know, and if you would, who would inform?

In the marvel universe yes, everyone by letting them know i was around. In 'our' world yes, my friend who shall not remain anonomouys-Spideylad

If you don't want super powers, would you want intelligence/wealth that could allow you to do things aka Batman?

No, I'd rather have the powers, but if i didn't have them, i wouldn't wanna be like batman, just gadgets etc.

Do you think you would give up relationships with the opposite gender so that they wouldn't be at risk if you had powers?

No, i'd be sooo protective, but risky, and once again, this could lead to a storyline if it was the marvel universe. Basically blame spidey which is usually the case.

What would you do?

Cause so much destruction with my siblings, Venom,Carnage,Toxin. Well not toxin because he ain't evil, but definitely with carnage but i'd try to absorb their symbiotes if they got in may way of what i felt was necessary.

Finally, would you not use the abilities for fear that the government might want to "study" you and find out more about your powers?

The government would be threatened, and serious action would be taken if thing went on ahead without my consent. I wouldnt wanna put myself in deeper s**t by having been seen as a menace to global audience, cause if i went and enilated the government straight away, then other countries would get involved, leaving me not much chance

Hope you enjoyed (look forward to reading your posts)
 
If not that then a simple answer, I'd like to be wolverine crossed with the skills of a jedi. i think that'd be cool
 
the only logical answer is the ability to spew fire from my mouth. Fire, and also water. Like 15 pounds per square inch.
 
Jedi powers would kick major tail.

But Id rather have superman powers.
 
:mad:
Mr Lex Luthor said:
Sometimes, yes. 99/1. Doomsday killed Superman, so he's part of that 1. If I'm the bad guy, I'm probably one of 99. :o

Hopefully i wouldnt be part of the 99 :mad:
 
Strength and flight I suppose....
 
It seems like everyone wants Superman powers including me, but I'd like to look like Spider-Girl.
