That old "Which Superpower" question

Morrus · Apr 19, 2004

It's been done before, I know. And no I'm doing it again!

Which superpower would you like? You're allowed only one!

Read Jumper by Stephen Gould. Teleportation is nigh unstoppable.

I don't want to be unstoppable, I want to FLY. Soaring over the ground, through the clouds, around buildings? Yeah, that's what power I'd like. Invulnerability'd be nice, too.

6th sense, baby! This seems to include a whole bunch of stuff, like ESP, Precognition, Speak with Dead. Lots of cool stuff in there, that I would love to have.

Telekinesis is the way to go! Though Electrical Control could be cool, too (manipulating computers, traffic lights, etc.)

Mind control to enthrall all of my minions into doing whatever I want. Then I'd move to Hollywood for all the moviestar babes. Oh yeah.

Gotta agree: TK is the way to go. No more looking for the remote(s). No problem if I lock myself out of the car, or need another coke from the frig, or whatever.

Yep, I'm lazy.

Teleportation. Preferably the unlimited range kind where I can take a little stuff along with me (the 'group porter' super archetype that every mutant team seems to need). I would reinvigorate space exploration and become very rich. 'What's that? Your orbital booster costs a hundred million dollars to fuel up? I'll reach low Earth orbit with your satellite for one million dollars!'

Twenty years later, I rule the Moon People.

(And teleportation appears twice on the option list.)
