You Get One Superpower. Which is it?

CaptainApocalypse

I know everyone punks out and says this, but I would want flight. It's too tempting to pass up.

Kane Red Robe

Invisibility. For, various reasons...

Bucketman

I guess an Iron Man type suit is out...so I choose, energy mulipulation.

Beacause I want to shoot things.

Sugar Magnolia

Shapeshifter. The possibilities are endless.

bobgorila

Durrr.

Mind control.

Or, of course, Flex mentallo's "vaguely defined muscle powers"

Bruan

after reading wildcards...
hmm.

Telekenisis!
THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TURTLE!

saint2e

Time travel.

Caveman Paws

Telekenisis, but only if it's on par with Nate Grey (X-man). Flight, move stuff, make your punches a zillion times more powerful, force fields, etc.

Vanilla Coke

The power to be really, really angry.

And terribly mysterious.

General Jesus Patton Cable > Nate Grey

Well, before he used up his TKs or whatever.

Sumaleth

The ability to write like Alan Moore.

Where do your avatar and sig some from? is it the boxed set? (sorry for changing topic), also deadpools level of regeneration, if an eyelash survives, so do I!

Overlard

Omnipotence. Ha! I bet no-one ever thought of that!

Super-speed would be cool.

TehSpectre

I would probably go the rengeneration route, kinda like Wolvie's.

Spectre-x

Speed control on a level equal to that of The Flash.

Mai-Kero

Either the power to wield a shovel extremely well, or the power to control time in such a way that I could create a sort of pocket dimension that exists outside of normal time, and I can shape to my whims.

So I could just go in there whenever I wanted and come out the next day after learning twelve languages and how to make clean-burning nuclear reactors that create BK stackers as their only source of waste.

The correct answer here is gravity manipulation. It's a single power that gives you a wide array of skills. You get flight, offense (through throwing things, pinning people down, and making your fists punch with the equivalent force of an entire continent) and defense (put up a gravity field around yourself so things just curve out of your way).

Your controlling on of the basic forces of the universe with that one. It's a good pick.

Scooter

Force fields. Invisible Woman really is the most powerful of the FF, and it's not because she can turn invisible.

Magnetism and the Nuclear Forces are significantly stronger.

Fellhand

Immortality like Vandal Savage, but hopefully without the being crazy.

Yes, but you don't get the added bonuses of flight with either of those. Except that Magneto does, for whatever reason...

Even though magnetism is a stronger force over metals, gravity seems more useful overall. Nuclear forces would basically make you omnipotent, able to reshape reality at will, at that seems a little excessive.

I'll stick with my gravity, thank you.

Marathon

The ability to manipulate time like Zoom.

tehfalconer

if everyone else had powers too, I'd want the power to permanently absorb other people's power just by being in their vicinity (a la a perma-version of Peter from Heroes). :P

if I was the only superpowered person, I'd go with telekinesis. its immensly versitile (flying, projectile weapons, shielding, and mind bullets) and practical in everyday life. superspeed (a la The Flash / Speed Force) is in 2nd place for me since it seems like so much fun.

being in control of gravity should only let you float, not fly, right? you have nothing propelling you laterally since gravity only acts in a downwards manner.

also, TK does everything you mentioned (except trade super punch for mind reading and killing people with your thoughts)

most definitely yes.

god yes.

Algertman

power of perversion

In my hypothetical situation of controlling gravity, it's not limited to turning it off or increasing it, but also changing it's direction. Thus you could fly by negating downward gravity and creating a point of gravity directly in front of you (in effect, "falling" laterally).

In regards to telekinesis, I can't help but feel I'd be happier not knowing what people are thinking. Have you been into SE++ lately?

But yes, for all intents and purposes, they would be the same on the core points, with a few differences on application and scale.

Not to nitpick, but telekinesis is moving things with your mind. Telepathy is reading minds.

Red or Alive

The power to manipulate reality.

Then I could choose as many superpowers as I want.

Along with anything else I can imagine.

SpeedySwaf

Super intelligence. At its extreme, I could probably use it to correctly to make myself a ton of money at gambling and on the stock market, and it would help me a ton at making games.

Rociel

Either photographic reflexes (Taskmaster style) or complete electrokenisis. Control over electricity would be unbelievably power. Like, Magneto level powerful.

SatanIsMyMotor

Giant lobster claw hands

For season two, yes.

What superpower does Thanos have? Because I wants me some of that. WIthout the purple skin and gay blue suit, of course.

Wikipedia states Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, resistance and intellect Psionic Powers Energy Manipulation Matter Transmutation and Teleportation. So that is technically more than one.

Damn, so much for that idea. I guess I'd go with molecular manipulation (i.e. Molecule Man). That seems to be a pretty broad yet cool power.

robosagogo

My own personal god would be dreamy.

I'd get luck bordering on the absurd and divine protection on top of the guidance of an extremely wizened, prescient individual.

I also wouldn't seem to have any abilities of my own, preventing me from being targeted by the government or anyone looking to commit a hate crime. It'd just be spiritual attunement (and that's hardly something that would come up on a medical exam), and good decisions and strange luck wouldn't prove the existence of anything greater to anyone.

You should read My Faith in Frankie. Having a personal god is a mix of good and bad.

Spectre-x

Come to think of it, the Power Cosmic would be cool too.

Ha ha! Screw your wimpy gravity manipulation! I have that and magnetism and the nuclear forces.

But it ended in a threesome, so I'm not seeing any particularly dire consequences.

That aside, perilous adventures are requisite with any of the abilities listed here.

Slagmire

I'll take Amazo's ability.
