Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 17, 2007, 08:34:06 pm
If you could have ONE super power, what would it be?
That is ONE super power and not every super power.

I would have the ability to copy and retain any skill.

I would probably want to be able to walk through walls. Damn doors always getting in my way!

One of two:

1. Enhanced perception and the ability to use it for copying motion. (For useful for copying moves for sports, like dribbles in basket ball or something like that)

or

2. The ability to summon and manipulate fire. No one would ever mess with that.

Or, all forms of Psychic powers.

Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, etc.

The power to communicate for aquatic life!  No just kidding, that's pretty lame. But I'd so want telekinesis. That's just badass.

The power to freeze time would be cool.

Post by: smeeth on May 17, 2007, 09:57:12 pm
Freezing time would be okay, but to totally manipulate it would be so awesome.

you do realize i would just copy your time power and then use it against you

Immortality. Lame super power, but most useful, when all my enemies are senile.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 18, 2007, 01:35:13 pm
just because you are immortal does not mean you can not be killed
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: vgmmaster on May 18, 2007, 06:14:23 pm
The Power Of The Elementals.

In other words, I can control Earth, Fire, Lightning, Water, Ice, etc.

Post by: smeeth on May 18, 2007, 06:16:13 pm
Man, you can't say anything like "Power to absorb or use other powers." because that's just cheap. You can pick only one!

Agreed. Then again... that can also backfire. Just because you have it doesn't mean you can use it properly.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 18, 2007, 07:59:40 pm
yes i can cause it is ONE super power
and the control of all elementals is not really just one super power
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 18, 2007, 08:00:32 pm
and i did not say i had the ability to absorb other powers
i saids i had the ability to copy and retain any skill

I think this thread need more rules if you're going to have success..  "A single super power" could be interpreted to mean a variety of different combinations of supernatural abilities..  But you said 'one,' so I am led to believe that you want just one ability.  For instance, what is the actual mechanism by which you would perceive, memorize, absorp the hours of practice, and be able to replicate forever, any number of given skills?  That sounds like a lot more than one power if you think about it in a somewhat realistic fashion..  Telekinesis is an example of a single skill; it is one action to generate force to move an object..

I would choose the ability to create matter within my perception.  I would just give my opponents strokes.

Thank you! You can't just say you have the power to take others powers, cause that's not koo!

agreed
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 07:54:21 am
no wrong
i can copy any skill from tumbling to computers to super powers
this skill is better than only being able to copy other powers
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: invincible13matt on May 19, 2007, 08:00:35 am
that's why we don't like it. You're worse than some of the rouges I have to deal with.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 08:03:19 am
um easy i look at the person doing the skill and then can do it simple as that
and just cause you guys do not think of good super powers like mine that does not mean you can badger me about it being cheap
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 08:03:41 am
and i HUNT rouges and am not one myself punk
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: invincible13matt on May 19, 2007, 08:05:39 am
I did not say you were one I said that you were LIKE one.
And your power is not realistic. You would die from the misuse of the powers you obtained, or be corrupted and consumed by them all.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 08:06:20 am
no since the one i copied the power from did not die nor would i for i retain THEIR skill
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 08:07:29 am
and is any power realistic we are talking fictionally so this is fiction and there for the power need not be realistic if it was then this topic would be pointless
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: invincible13matt on May 19, 2007, 08:11:42 am
you said copy skills not the skill of the person using it so just because you copy the skill does not mean you can use it because you don't have the necessary skill set. I call it "The Sharingan effect"
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 08:13:15 am
hmmm... so?
anyways this is a topic where we discuss what super power we would want NOT BEAT UP PIE!
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 08:24:59 am
also if all of you have forgotten 13matt said one of the two skills he would have was the same thing! yet he beats me up about it and critisizes me for it
HYPOCRIT!!!!!!!!!!!
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: invincible13matt on May 19, 2007, 08:35:32 am
exactly. ONE of two skills. I'm still deciding. I'm not trying to stack one skill on top of another and pass it off as one power. And learn to spell.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 19, 2007, 08:50:34 am
spelling is not imoportant except in typed LA papers
and you still said you would have a copy power yet you still hassle me about it
just cause you are still deciding does not avert the truth

Ok well if you get to have all the neccisary powers to 'copy skills,' I get to not only create matter but manipulate it as well.  Hell, since you're going to have a combination of many skills, I'll take the ability to create and manipulate waves as well.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: schneereich on May 19, 2007, 07:07:57 pm
i'll go with the power to manipulate space-time. which puts me in control of pretty much everything. perfect.

morphing power....think about it
animals..
objects...
anything you can imagine, you could be....



now that wood be shweet

Post by: Fortress on May 20, 2007, 11:49:31 am
I agree with Schneereich - just be a god and you won't have to pick which one.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: Perc on May 20, 2007, 03:09:36 pm
Just to be a god does not neccesarily implicate any powers.  There are plenty of gods without powers..  So you would chose godhood as your power but you wouldn't be able to do anything cool.

And uh, I create a titanium cage around you as you try and morph into a dragon or whatever to kill me and then create a lethal dose of gamma rays inside the cage....oops, one dead dragon.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: pielord47 on May 20, 2007, 04:51:09 pm
he realizes there is a cage and turns into like an ant and escapes

Unfortunately for you, neither insect chitin nor titanium bars stop gamma rays.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: schneereich on May 20, 2007, 07:30:04 pm
im not being "just" a god, im being the master of all of space-time. i can control any thing, any event, any timeline... and so forth. fire a gamma ray at me, and its energy will be harmlessly dispersed. then i will make you disintegrate.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: Perc on May 20, 2007, 11:30:44 pm
dude its like totally at least five different sets of control powers to be able to control all of everything..  ..haven't you read the saga of Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet??  Even gods don't have that much control, duh..  ..even the silver surfer when he had the power cosmic couldn't control all of everything..  ..sheesh.

Pick one and have some fun with it.

um... lol? for the record, i didnt say i wanted to be god. that was fortress's interpretation. damnit stop turning every topic into a religion argument!
Title: If you had a Super Power...

Why? if you dont then the creepy christians will start 'integrating' scripture into their every day postings more often, like they did before I came.
Title: If you had a Super Power...
Post by: schneereich on May 23, 2007, 12:21:42 am
they did? i wasnt around before you and im too lazy to read the stuff from before (i actually got scolded for trying to respond to it, so why bother reading it?)

anyways, (this goes to the creepy christians too of course!) were here to play a game and to be random and insane. if you want to talk about religion, make a thread about it and dont take every other thread entirely off-topic. im not saying dont talk about it, im just saying that it cant become the focal point of every single thread.

speaking of staying on-topic, if i had to choose a less all-encompassing power, i'd have to say flying. it just seems so cool.
