Ever since I saw it in a TMNT comic book, I wanted the ability to bring to life anything I can draw. I could have literally any super power I want and more with this one weird trick.

God's omnipotence, from the Bible.

And if that's not ok, then Avatar bending powers.

Either Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones, or if I can cheat a little, Legion’s powers in Legion on FX. He sort of has multiple but they can all basically be chalked up to “mind powers” if we’re being loose with it.

For the record I’m not saying I want to be like Killgrave, he’s a disgusting small monster, but… his abilities are insane. Hard to resist something like that.

As for Legion’s, I mean I’d effectively be a god. Hard to pass that up, tho maybe not if it comes bundled with the schizophrenia.

The ability to stop time and still interact with the world. Do you know how many books I have on my TBR?

Ok, but you still can age? so imagine being much older than your peers, they'll think you're sick ...lol

The immortality of Dorian Gray. Got to have that opt out of life.

I don't think someone could live forever and not decide that humanity isn't worth it and should perish at some point..

As an introvert a Bard loaded with charisma looks like a nice superpower to have, can't be more fictional than that.

Id personally choose power mimicry (the version where you just have to see a person using a power once and can just mimic it at any time) then I'd just build my set of powers

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So.... There are no other people to observe with super powers...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He could mimic Elon Musk and become a supervillain.

Does that mean other people in this hypothetical world have superpowers as well?
