Um, I don't think this is a 'versus' thread

Wrong forum.

But I would choose metal. So I don't have to sleep or eat and I have an excuse to dress like an idiot.

I would assume a thread about superpowers would belong in the comics section. Plus, there are references and similarities to the powers of comic book characters.

It really doesn't belong anywhere else, since the main target audience is comic book fans and Comic books are usually always about superpowers.

In a way, its superpowers vs superpowers, so its somewhat a vs topic.

If you look carefully, you'll find that some powersets are similar to those of nightcrawler, storm, colossus, shadowcat, Pyro, Aquaman, storm and more. Heck I even mentioned Nightcrawler.

Also, part one of this topic was allowed, so I don't see why this shouldn't be.

Don't be a party pooper.

all of them.

Air could rape all the others from a safe distance since all the other's blasts and such are 25 or 15 m Which I personally think is silly...

Water or Metal for me.

Earth is the most damaging... 8.0 on the richter scale is pretty intense. Especially for something you can generate casually every 30 minutes. That's in addition to sandstorms, etc.

But, assuming this is a day to day environment, I'd go for Space. Air has faster transport over long range, but Space is cooler.

I'd choose space and amass a fortune as a thief, Ocean's Eleven style.

What category would "the green" fall under? Earth?

Air or water. Probably water.

Heh...

Well, since I would also be able to teleport Nightcrawler style and phase through matter, that may be hard for you to do. I could teleport out of your range instantly, and be 600 miles away in around 10 minutes.

I like the metal option. Superstrength and durability would be great. I don't care too much about manipulating metal (melting it) too much but the other stuff would be nice. You could get a job moving heavy stuff and get paid well.

Next, I think I like air--fast flying would get me to work much much faster to save driving time and expense. I am thinking that one could probably make a good living delivering packages or something like that with this.

The water/ice thingy...you could create huge ice blocks for companies to use to cool factories like some of them already use. You could save them lots on electric bills and make some dough that way, eh?

With the Earth ability...I don't know, you could threaten to destroy things unless the govt paid you lots of money...but that would probably just get you shot by the CIA or something.

Good thread. Moving --------->

CIA would probably shoot a super powered person just on GP...

Metal, Storm, or Fire for me.

Aka, Jumper style.

Air for me.

Sorry, but that option is full of fail.

Air, Storm, or Water for me.

Air.

This seems fun. How fast is the storm powerset's flight?

What exactly do you mean by Earth density control?

Very interesting thread.

I'll take Earth,
with it's abilities, you can over power armies, or take out a city.
Or, you can be a great saviour
with control over some of the most destructive natural forces on earth.

Air would be my second choice.

They're all good really, but those are my favs.

I'd go for metal or space. They are the only ones without time limits.

Pretty much the ability used to generate quicksand, the difference is you can increase the density to make it hard again or anything really.

Quicksand is made by water.

Well, this is special quicksand, OK? (say yes).

Well, eh... my question wasn't answered, so I guess I'll go for Air. I pick this one primarily due to the flight. Flying at that speed would prove quite useful for travel. You could save gas, time, and may not even need a car anyway. Also, the extra abilities, like cyclones and wind gusts, would be just plain cool if nothing else.

The space one comes in an extremely close second. Teleportation would again come in handy for travel for obvious reasons. Phasing and invisibility are very nice, but the time restraint on phasing helps put this one below air.

Um, I stated peak flight speed is 700km/hr in the original post.

I know, but I asked for the storm's max speed. Not air.

haha I see. I was confused. Lets see, lets make it 100km/hr.

No problem comrade.

Ah, Storm bumps Space out of the second spot for me. Flying AND zapping stuff would be lovely. Might save on the electric bill too. The flight wouldn't be as useful as air but it would still be an immense help for shorter distances like work/school/etc.

...and you get to zap stuff.

Yes, You get to burn holes through peoples bodies like Doom did in the F4 Movie. At least thats what I was thinking when I wrote that power set up.

Yes, except with the bonus of not being Hayden Chistensen.

Either air or space.

Space.
