A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
The most op power in my eyes is super speed. You basically get infinite, on demand mass, strength and endurance, and can (assuming you can go really fast) time travel
That being said, the only super power I'd ever want is the ability to create fast-acting hormones of my choosing, with my nails acting as syringes when willed to be able to inject or secrete them

Where is Attractive Enby? π₯
Vampirism
Invisibility, chameleon, shapeshifter.
The Redundant Spy.
Insanely Rich, Submariner, Shape Shifter.
Now letβs go explore the titanic shall we?
Isn't divine powers all of these?
I would say with 'insanely rich,' 'intellect' and 'gadgets,' you could pretty much achieve any of the rest you wanted on your own.
Mr Wayne?
Plus insanely rich is the best way to do things like have people adore you, avoid jail, etc., depending on where you live of course.
Personally I would prefer heightened memory to intellect. But a way to not let the embarrassing moments affect my brain at all.
I mean, Magic is just "all of the above".
With chameleon, healing and unarmed combat I could rule the world.
Give me arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation in the simulation we live in and I'll be satisfied.
I'd like that too, but I don't know how to program so it'd turn out to be a pretty cruel joke. I'd need that plus access to interdimensional internet so I could download scripts and be a scriptkiddy of reality.
Just give me being attractive and fuck the rest.
Shapeshifter, telekinesis and magic. Efficiency and modularity. And i'm lazy.
Insanely rich: cheat codes for a comfortable life.
Shapeshifter: renders attractiveness options irrelevant and has enormous utility.
Psionics or magic, depending on strength and utility. For pscionics it really depends on how broad a range we're talking about. If it's just one thing or two things, nah. Being able to fling things around with my mind and pyro/cryo/electrokinesis are all tangently attached to telekinesis is great. But so is being able to throw fireballs in reanimate the dead. So really it would depend on the rules and mechanics for the magic/psionic systems. I think pscionics if it's more like The Force or something strong from GURPS or RIFTS, magic if it's something strong from RIFTS or D&D. If both are awesome then I'd pick whatever has the most utility probably. Especially since magic can duplicate psionic abilities using certain magic systems. But if it's lame magic or requires something like Faustian pacts or answering to any kind of more powerful entity, screw that. But depending on the mechanics, psionics and magic are just different kinds of magic systems.
Tldr, being a stupidly rich shape-shifting reality bender sounds like the life.
You could use many of the other options to become insanely rich relatively quickly π
But yeah I guess skipping the part where you rob a bank or something does have some appeal π
Just need Magic and you can do all of the other things
Shapeshifting: kinky (having sex as a boy or a girl, becoming any celebrity your partner likes), recreationnal (flying like a crow, swimming as an octopus) and useful if you want to do crimes
Telepathy: perfect understanding of the others, or mess with their brain if they deserve it Also, this is the perfect combo with shapeshifting to impersonate people (if someone is suspicious, you have the perfect answers to their questions)
Healing, because I know the feeling of being powerless when a loved one suffers
Super hearing, super sight, sub-mariner.
Insanely rich, Intellect, Invulnerable. You could totally change the world - you would be like Elon Musk with a brain. When the shitty oligarchs throw you out a window, you just bounce.
I think insanely rich is probably the worst thing on the list. How are you immortal and the smartest person alive and still broke? You should find ways to make a fortune easily oorr if you really want to change something you can use your power to actually improve the system in the long-term and not just profit yourself.
wtf is this list, these are absolutely not equal powers. Magic alone accounts for 80% of this list. Magic, Divine Power, Attractive Lady is just the meta choice. Who the hell is gonna take something lame like Stamina or Invisibility when you could use magic powers to make yourself invisible and fly.
Lmao I didn't see divine powers, I guess you can just pick that and stop there, once you're a literal god give yourself anything on the list, easy-peasy.
I'm taking it to mean something more akin to a cleric's Domain from D&D, as opposed to you turning into divinity. So you can pray to your god, and as long as it's within your god's domain, it will be granted.
That is still fucking busted, especially if combined with magic, but to your point, godhood makes the whole list moot.
Teleportation, invulnerability, siphon abilities.
And then I teleport to everyone in the thread.
Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.
Comic adaptation when?
γ That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon γ
good luck bitch im in madame web's anus
Yeah, the power gamer one is siphon abilities plus whatever two give the best advantage with that. Though psychic might be enough to negate any other, plus would help figure out where to get the others.
Though it's hard to meta game with just ability names. Like it could be god tier where teleportation works like you said and can be used on its own to find things or people, or it could be the kind where using it at all is risky because you might end up inside a wall.
Psychic could mean you can freely look into the future, past, and present (like knowing your opponent's poker hand). It could mean you get a warning if you need to deal with danger. Either of those could make invulnerability unnecessary (along with very rich, intellect, physical fighting, and others). Or it could just be con artistry like psychics that sell their "abilities" in the world we live in.
Siphon abilities might be permanent, temporary, or might require contact with the ability owner to use the ability. Maybe you get a copy of the ability or the original owner loses their ability. Maybe it applies only to powers on the list or maybe to any skill/ability.
Magic and divine power are especially vague, could be anything from the most powerful on the list (maybe even including everything else on the list already) to what real life magicians and priests can do.
Attractive female, attractive male, invisibility
I'm the most beautiful creature on earth, and only I decide who gets the privilege of knowing it
Wouldn't "chameleon" be enough for that? Or "shape shifter"?
That depends on what chameleon means exactly. Does it let you change color, is it more like a predator cloak, or is it like being an octopus, or is it more like being able to blend in through body language and pheromones and become kind of hidden, or being a social chameleon who can fit into any circumstances. It's kind of a vague word without any more description.
It still would be like Makeup, hiding blemishes and stuff, but yeah, thinking about it again, it might just be shapeshifting.
That would mean you could turn into an attractive form but you wouldn't be inherently attractive in your own.
Shapeshifting doesn't have any limitations in this picture, so you might as well choose a form and stick to it as your new standard. The chameleon might only function as a kind of makeup, where you temporarily hide your blemishes, I'm not sure.
