I was just curious about some of the more potentially awesome/hilarious/ well thought out and practical uses of the various super powers we all read about would be.

For example: If I had telekinesis I'd go win big at vegas. Roulette, dice etc. It's a no brainer but it'd be sweet anyway.

On the less practical and more entertaining side, With Cyclops' powers for example, I'd carve my name and possibly likeness into the surface of the moon. It wouldnt serve any real purpose but it'd still be awesome.

What about the rest of you? What kind of brilliant things could you come up with?

It could be anything. What jobs you'd have, what crimes you'd commit. Practical jokes you'd play. Anything. Let's hear it.
 
I'd use weather control powers to make a perpetual thunderstorm over all government buildings.
 
haha i'd be curious how the media dealt with that one. A sign from god or something to stop paying taxes.
 
With great power comes great responsibility.
 
If I could have ANY superhero's powers I would take Invisible Woman's and I would become a magician. I could make ANYTHING disappear, levitate, etc. with no actual knowledge of magic tricks or illusion.

Oh, and rob banks. I would rob banks while invisible. Then I'd make all of the money invisible. And confuse the **** out of people in the process. It would rock.

Oh, and if someone really made me mad, I would put an invisible field under their feet and I would lift them really high into the air until they pissed themselves, then I would let them back down really fast. And they would be covered in piss and I would laugh and walk away.
 
I'll take Wolverines healing factor and just use it to LIVE FOREVER, SUCKERS!!!!
 
I'd take time powers and do basically whatever I wanted. Age myself up to my 50s to see how I look, de-age myself so I'm perpetually 25, age a bank vault a couple thousand years until they rust into oblivion, stop time and steal whatever I damn well please, etc.
 
I'd like to be some minor player in a comic universe. Like a mutant that nobody really cares about. That way I'd stay alive and not die in some Event.

The power I'd want would be to talk to inanimate objects.

Walk into a room and ask a chair... "So who's had sex on you?"

"You wouldn't believe it."

:thing: :doom: :thing:
 
If I were a shapeshifter I would turn into famous people, take pictures of myself doing incriminating things, and then sell them.
 
What about reality altering powers? The power to change everything to how you see fit. I would become the King of Earth and put Tom Rothman in limbo, forever to be tortured.

The problem with that being you're actually MORE likely to die. Not in some event but in a random issue of an unimportant title. Just to prove that some evil bastard is actually evil.
 
Yeah. The most feared name in your world would be Mark Millar.
 
I'd like telepathy so I could not only sleep with my wife, but also all the rest of our hot female friends, maybe even at once... and it'd all be okay.

Sorry Van but Chairface Chippendale already beat you to it.

Not only that, but you would have lost your powers during M-Day, and probably killed by some anti-mutant group who would carve "Once a Mutant, always a mutant" on your left but cheek.
 
I think I'd let Rage consume me and and puke blood.
 
I'd want Stretchy powers, so that I could become the greatest porn star that ever lived.
 
puking blood would be way more helpful in porn. it'd be the most brutal porn ever.
 
As a hero, I would have the power to inspire people. Inspire world peace. Inspire cures for diseases. Inspire the creation of advance space travel. If aliens invade, I'd inspire our race to kick the crap outta them. Or peace with them I guess...

As a criminal it would be Time control, or Mind control.
 
Just think of all the money you could make taking pictures if you could stop time. Celebs, politicians, all the most interesting shots.
 
I wuoldn't mind the powers of Molecule Man and I would then do whatever I wanted but I would keep it legal.
 
Cosmic Awareness would be cool too. You would be a genuine know-it-all.
 
Super- Speed!(the flash kind and not BS Quicksilver kind)
next to stretching and Super strength is was my favorite power as a kid.
with it i could do everything i need to do( work, Grocery shop, pay bills) in a nano second and freaking sleep for the rest of the day.
i would say something Altruistic like fight crime, but i know better.
In real life the cops would be pissed for messing around with their racket. Your babe would be trying to sell your ID to the Enquirer for money and a tv show.The government would be scared caused maybe you would be messing up their racket "fighting crime" and come looking for you. wanting you to register and then you get the whole "Watchmen "scenario" crap. who the hell needs all that hassle. unlike comics i dont think you would be getting a Museum built after you.Hehe what can i say, i'm jaded!! that's why i read comic books:cwink:
