Re: What's the best superpower?

snop

So you want to create paradoxes? Let me explain. Let's say that sometime in your past you lost your wallet and your money, ID, etc. So obviously you go back and 'redo' the last moment that you saw your wallet and put it somewhere you won't lose it. So now it's as if you had never lost it in the first place. But, that means that back in the present, you will have no reason to go back in time in the first place! So obviously you don't go back in time, so you don't stop you from losing your wallet, so then in the present you have a reason to go back in time, so then you don't lose your wallet, then... etc.

Being able to stop time would be the best.

After going back, you can't possibly go forward to to paradoxes it would cause. It's like in a video game where you can go back to a time before you screwed up, without losing the knowledge of the time that you did.

wallets and mothers dying in fires

The key point here being you keep the knowledge you had before you went back in time (or after?). If you're thinking that no matter what you do, you'll forget it, that's not exactly right. Time itself isn't going to stop you from exploiting it by making you lose the memory of your wallet again, time doesn't work that way. Nor does the Universe.
Also with the mother thing, you could just go back to a time before she goes in the building and tell her you need her to run an errand or something for you, getting her away from the fire.
Remember you have to relive the time between the time you travel back to and the point where you decided to do a "redo".

And Drock, as tak4n said, you would eventually become a target if anybody found out about your shenanigans.

@Arceus64 You would be the reason that would kill the economy. The next depression in the world's economy would be cause by you. How do you feel? Every single person will search for you and when the'll find you they would either use you as a money slave or would kill you. Have fun.

I will have fun. Screw the :O economy for all I care.

Re: What's the best superpower?

I am c*ck blocking your powers right now everyone. Still trying to find an excuse why Drock's superpower won't work.

I have yet to see a problem with mine.

All right, to settle the time travel problem: You would have to time travel exactly one year in reverse or forward, otherwise the Earth could be on the other side of the sun when you come out. Sure, it may be useful to go through all of your birthday parties at once, but even the smallest deviation in the Earth's orbit and Earth spinning on its axis will cause you to end up somewhere unpleasant.

Oh and let's not forget that the entire solar system is moving around a central point in the Milky Way at a much much faster speed, rendering this ability completely useless (unless you have a TARDIS handy).

I always pick telekinesis, the power to move matter with the mind. Specifically, the ability to create and remove vector forces anywhere your eyes can see.

As with any power I think this would require some training and experience.

Realistically speaking, if you had a power like this, authorities would hunt you down, try to experiment on you, get DNA samples so they could investigate this power. There's virtually no way to go undetected. Also, you'll be all over the news, and everyone will know who you are, unless you pose as a superhero in some s3xy spandex. With a power like mind-reading, it's so easy to hide, it's effective for multiple things, and in the modern world like this, it's an extremely useful ability to have.

Where would your clap-food come from, huh? It doesn't just appear, everything comes from something.

I think we can all agree that all superpowers have downsides, so really the best superpower is having none at all.

Superpowers don't have to make sense, but they always do have drawbacks.

Yes, some may have downsides, but that doesn't mean the entire concept is garbage. Lots of things have downsides but are still considered good or useful.

The fact that a superpower is impossible is not a drawback. A superpower does not need to be possible.

Additionally, the fact that they all have drawbacks doesn't mean that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

I have yet to see a true drawback to mine.

Re: What's the best superpower?

I still haven't said what my superpower would be. I wish I had a superpower which would make me prove that nothing equals to 0% and nothing equals to 100%. It is true. I am sick of trying to prove it. IT IS TRUE I TELL YOU.

Re: What's the best superpower?

@Notsobad What if you revived a person that could have become a 2nd Hitler if he hadn't died? What if you cured a person that becomes a terrorist and kills 200 people with a bomb? What if you would cure/revive a person that hires a person to kill you. Sound stupid? Well what if you cured a champion who won a gold medal, the opponent gets so mad at you that this opponent hires someone to kill you?

Well, my vision was actually to use this to cure things that we currently can't or that someone desparately needs help with. For example, I would probably use it as a cure for cancer for those who come forward and ask me to help. I guess that it is possible that I help a terrorist but I would imagine most of my 'patients' would feel they should pass on my help. Also, with the 'revival' thing, I would only use that for people I am close to (personally and physically) but only if I feel it is the right thing to do.

So, I would basically use this to cause those I cure to pass on kindness and make the world a better place. If someone was set out to kill me because of my ability so be it. I would know that my life was worth something special to others. So, I believe that the ability to cure anything would be a positive superpower.

It is not an assertion, it is a fact. Even if something is 99.99999% the chances of 0.00001% is almost impossible but it is still there. If you even think of an alternative, it means there is already not 100%. Same goes with 0%. But no one believes me. No one even tries to listen to me. It is very difficult to prove but it is true damn it.

Re: What's the best superpower?

If the benifits would outweigh the drawbacks, I'd choose to mix two superpowers, ideally, time travel and teleportation. Then the problem of the solar system & earth moving would be all but diminished, as I'd think about when and where I'd like to go, and my superhero subconscious would calculate where (and when) in the universe to travel to. And, to solve teleporting into a wall (or air which would fill the body), my powers would create a temporary void in my exact shape so that I can fit in without dying. Find a problem with that.
