Super powers
Tonight was the premiere of "Heroes" on NBC, and though I didn't watch it due to prior engagements, I taped it and am eagerly looking forward to watching it whenever I get around to it.
But it brought up an idea I know won't cause any conflicts and it's obviously the point of: if you could have ANY super power in the world, what one would you want and why? Even if it's an obscure weird power, please tell. Mine would be shapeshifting, hands down. I would love to have the ability to turn into any of my favorite cartoon or comic book characters or anyone I wanted. I automatically get powers just by shifting, talk about a two for one deal.

I want to fly.
Why? Because it's cool! And it makes me feel powerful. |

I'd want shapeshifting, without conservation of mass. That way i could fly if i wanted to.
If I could only have one thing to shift into It'd be a phoenix. If it had to be a real thing it would be either a jaguar or a falcon. If i couldn't have that I'd want to be able to control lightning/electricity. And if i couldn't have that, I'd like to be able to move super-super fast. |

Im quite interested in shapeshifting
but yet I also like Time Control EDIT:: I decided to take a quiz to see what I'd get ~*~Result nr 6~*~ Your power is: Transformation Explanation:Unlike everyone else you can change your body materia and transform into anything (e.g. an animal). This can be used in good purposes for infiltrating evil headcuarters or adjust your physical abilities by transforming and therefor do better in battle. If turned to the evil side, a transfomer could manipulate the "good guys" by looking like their loved ones and break them down. As a person you are dissapointed with life. You have not so many interests anymore and has become depressed. Of course you can be happy, but your happiness subsides quickly and don't last very long. You isloate yourself from people since you think they would only hurt you, but some part just wants someone equal who understands the pain. When you transform it gives you freedom and you can be anything but yourself. You often pity yourself but don't let people come near and know what's going on with you. But the thought of opening up and risking being betrayed is too strong and intimidating to even try. Negative aspects: You carry much hate to the world and yourself and in the long run this could lead to dangerous thoughts (suicide/cutting/killing) though the last one is least likeable since you would probably just have too much guilt. Take this quiz! meh so shapeshifting is then lol I sort of also want to be a Time Controller

I would have to choose either teleportaion or being able to manipulate fire. The reason for the first is because I would be able to go wherever I wanted to go. The second is I have always be a pyromaniac.

Shapeshifting, teleportation, or time travel, in that order.

Well, this might be considered an evil power, but I'd only do it to those I thought deserved it. I'd like to be able to look into someone's mind, find out what they're most afraid of, and make it seem as though it were happening to them. Don't know why, just thought it would be kind of different.

I'd like to shapeshift, 'cause then I could be anything I wanna be. ^^
This is what I got on that quiz thing, though: Your power is: The ability to fly Explanation: This powers speaks pretty much for itself. Though you don't need wings for this power,you can fly anyway. Some people may consider it as telekinesis since they can also fly, but you can't make material things move like they can. This ability could be a relaxing activity when you want to get away from everyday troubles. Also it is good when sneaking upon an enemy since it makes no sound. When going over to the "dark side" the power could be used to harrass and break into building through windows etc. You are quite similar to this power since you like to have your head in the clouds. Supernatural things amuse while ordinary life does not. If your daydreaming has gotten a little too far you might be zooned out all the time, even when you are having a conversation. Your desires and/or goals tend to be unrealistic even if you know those would probably never happen. Travelling is something you would be interested in doing since seeing exotic scenery fits with your fantasies of escaping your plain life. You can also have some creative ability (writer, playing an instrumen etc) that interests you. Negative aspects: The whole reason you may be escaping life could be fear of being let down by it. So if that would come to happen, and an important dream had been crushed you could get depressed.

Animal transformation and a highly flexible body(like Elastigirl). And the ability to jump out other people's computer monitors so I could kick their asses.
Not anybody here, of course; you guys are awesome! Unfortunately, I can't say that for every internet forum I visit. Last edited by Voxxyn; 09-26-2006 at 03:24 PM. |

Since shape shifting is a board term, other powers I would love to have if I COULDN'T shape shift would be the following in the following order:
Flight - I think everyone in the world dreams of doing this at one point or another in their lives. Flying would be a beautiful and amazing feeling and just having the ability to soar in the skies over everyone would be cool beyond words. It's a classic power and a great one at that. Invisibility - Without the naked part of course. I think this power would be so much fun to use, and it could really help you or your friends out. Screwing with people and making em think there seeing ghosts. Or sneaking into movies, just prankster stuff like that. It gives you alot of freedom. Psychic/Telekinesis - Kinda like the powers Mewtwo has. The power to read people's minds and do the Jedi mind trick or two. It would just be cool to have the power to stop something or someone from doing something before it happens or move things without breaking your back trying to lift it.
