ultimatum time: would you rather have the power of flight but smell strongly of burnt hair all the time, or the power to read minds but every time you do you throw up a whole bunch

I would usually pick read minds, but you are giving too clear of a tell by making us throw up each use. How about you throw up each morning and evening?
However, my aversion to vomiting is great enough that I would rather smell bad and fly than vomit and win every game of texas hold'em ever.

On the other hand, reading minds with the benefit of being skinny and attractive? Sign me up.

Dammit guys, what was the name of that game someone had planned to set up on this forum?
It was set several years after super powered humans had repelled an alien invasion which caused wide scale damage to earth, and basically took over afterwards. They'd formed an organisation called SUN I think? A bunch of formers had created some amazing characters. There was a girl who could take the form of animals so long as she mixed her blood with the blood of one member of a species, and used to break into her local zoo to add more shapes to her arsenal. And there was a guy who I think was called the 54th street bogeyman or something? He was invisible in the sense that he couldn't be noticed by people around him. And a sentient computer program called The Sky is Blue. I really loved reading the characters people came up with.
I had *just* come up with a character who had the power to shape any metal so long as she was touching it (called Blacksmith, Natch) when the threads were locked until the game started. And the game never started. I'm still a bit gutted about that.
this has likely been linked already, but god I remember this fondly
I think I have since lost all the Hardy Clinic medical files that I made, which is super sad
I was working with Pony to come up with a categorization model that would be run by a character I created, but it was to be used in story only and loosely adapted into the game itself

First as a consultant with the Scitor Corporation, a Virginia-based firm whose clients include top military and intelligence agencies, and later as the head of his own research organization, Herr’s job has been to think about biological modifications whose effects he says are “more than evolutionary.”
Power to tap the energies of astronomical objects. Sub-power of Planetary Empowerment, not to be confused with Astrological Physiology.
That's potentially pretty hardcore
like, if you can tap the power of the sun then you could probably do some impressive shit
I'm going to assume this comes with additional powers depending what body you tap into

Imagine having total control over the available kinetic energy in a supernova. Or a supermassive black hole. You point your finger and the Eiffel tower is smashed into subatomic particles in an instant...
thats actually an incredibly cool powerset for a cosmic hero
the power of the celestial bodies themselves! Supernovas, Black holes, Pulsars, Magnetars, shit even Quasars...

After eating Chipoltle, no.
But if you get it every single day, then we just might be adding the "Sanguine Sphincter" to the x-men roster.
on the one hand, I think vomiting is the lesser of two unpleasant things
but on the other hand, I truly can't think of a use I'd have for mind reading

Fuck, I need to get the upper hand in this deal, but I don't know how much to push for!
Excuse, I need to visit the restroom real quick.
