Ok what powers would you say are some of the most powerful in a real world setting?

No Magic/Reality/Molecule powers

Imho Spider-sence is an incredibly underrated power,

Super Speed

^Friction burn

Telekinesis.

MIND BULLETS!

An invisible attack is hard to fight against

I wonder if light weight titanium armor would help? If not there's always KY Jelly.

Once you figure it out, though, IR goggles would defeat you.

As would paint.

Chafing would still be an issue

It'll heat up, then gently cook you inside. Unless you had a good cooling system built in.....

Super Strength would likely be one of the best real world setting powers. Your durability would naturally go up because how would you ever lift a train without the added durability. You're speed would likely increase as well to a very large degree. Poison would likely hurt you, but being very strong and durable would probably cancel out the damaging effects.

I switch my answer to Super Strength.

Nah, you won't be able to lift a train....it would break apart because proportionally, you'd have tiny hands.

And you'd better hope you had good muscle control, because otherwise, your every step would smash the pavement/floor.

Plus, working out would be a *****....

sharinganysque abilities,

you could easily outmove an opponent and hypnotize

So what would that be, if you had to describe it to a non Naruto fan?

teleportation a la Nightcrawler by a mile.

Adaptability....Darwins powerset is the shit

telepathy..

Telepathy for me personally, but the fact is the spider precog can alert you to almost anything

Which would suck without reflexes to match

'Oh shit, a bulle-'

*BANG*

But then, most powers would suck without the reflexes to match. Teleportation? Say you were about to be hit by a car. Without the reflexes, you'd still get smooshed. Same with the adaptability powerset - if I sniped you from a mile away, you're not going to suddenly become bulletproof or whatever.

I also liked The Spot's powers of opening portals. But again, without reflexes, it won't be incredibly useful.

I'd be able to remotely steal stuff, and without ever appearing on camera or having to actually physically be there, it would be the perfect crime.

Cyberpathy would be another amazing one to have.

Telekinesis .

Technokinesis .

Hyper-intelligence .

You're just copying my brain patterns now.

Being Superman.

Does he take damage when he's punched?

correct me if I'm wrong but, OP says power, not powerset right?

I would probably go with TK, you can use it to mimic strength, shields etc you can also as someone said make "brain bullets" you could fly with it, boost your speed.

Telepathy would be another good one but could be lonely if you ended up in everyone's head and you felt alienated or knew to much lol.

Hyperintelligence could be good also.

I would go with TK though for it's versatility.

Hyperintelligence. Or something akin to Forge's power. I'd be able to cure diseases, create machines that can mimic flight, power blasts, telepathy, all them good sheet.

Emagnokinesis (TK control over the electromagnetic interaction). Not only could you do the usual TK matter-manipulating stuff (strength-mimicking, shields, flight, direct attacks), you could also manipulate pure (em/photonic) energy in the absence of any matter (other than your own body).

TK aint much when it comes to real world settings,

you might end up hurting someone,someone else. its also like super strength

I would use it sparingly

Super intelligence. Use it to get rich and collect resources, then find ways to possibly grant yourself other powers if you want. Or just enjoy being rich.

But everything would be boring - you'd be unable to enjoy the simple things in life. You'd be poking holes in everything, and be unable to suspend your belief.

Batkick!

Speedforce.

Maybe if you confine yourself to earth, but there's an entire universe to explore and investigate with your super intelligence. I think that should keep you entertained. Reed is a good example.

Even then I don't think our ability to derive pleasure comes from our intelligence. Tony is a prime example. I'm sure his super intelligence doesn't hinder the pleasure he gets from partying as a billionaire and sleeping with girls.

Being super smart doesn't mean that you would be super rich. There are a lot of very smart, very poor people out there. While many stupid people are rich, Take former President Bush as a prime example. Imagine being super smart, while suffering from being too lazy to make your ideas a reality? Bummer.

That's not how adaption works

Being popular with the fanbase.

Flight, strength or invisibility.

Punching power.

More often than not simple punching away often solves most things/wins most battles.

Absolute best power in a real world scenario belongs to Purple Man and his daughter Persuasion which is uber powerful mind control over masses of people.

Most versatile would be either TK or TP. There's a trick uber telepaths can do, mind jumping (where you literally switch bodies/minds with another person), you'd be immortal. But you'd have to have no conscious though because mindrapes of that caliber are evil.

I'd go with TP.

Chronokinesis .

He is also a recovering alcoholic

Duplication ala Maddrox. Can't list the number of times I've wanted to be several places at once and collect all the experiences at the end of the day. I could get one of my duplicates to make me a sandwich. I could get one of my dupes to work my job fulltime while I play Xbox and live my life. As long as they act as I would act and remain totally obediant, life would be golden.

Healing factor. Virtual immunity to diseases and a highly extended youth--what's not to love? The chances of regularly getting severely injured like Wolverine does is basically nil in real life, so the pain factor isn't a big deal. Also, I'm not immortal/invincible, so if I ever do get sick of living for whatever reason I can always go drown myself.

The only downside that I see is that I can't get drunk anymore.

Techno-organic shapeshifting, to be specific. You can simulate pretty much all other superpowers with the proper know how and creative use of your powers, as well as regenerate your cells or just shift into a substance that doesn't decay or corrode for makeshift immortality/life extension.

and give yourself embolisms by accident. no thanks

Magnetos powers.

You don't think having Reed or Tony level super intelligence will help you get rich in the real world? Bush isn't a good example because he was born into riches, just like Paris Hilton. But you don't think someone who's built their fortune from the ground up is smart?

Hmmm, he's also a billionaire playboy with an iron man suit. I think its worth the trade off.

Super strength = never having sex again. No thanks.

Having super intelligence without the opportunity/drive is pretty much useless. You think every poor person is dumb/lazy? Nah. There must be a ton of intelligent, driven poor people out there - but that does not necessarily make them rich.

Depends on the level of ability we get on which power I'd choose.

Probably tk though.

If we are talking about intelligence on Reed/Doom level than you don't even need drive to become rich.

Just make the stock market your ***** or easily invent the new ipod and sell it.

Seeing parallel future (like on the movie next but not limited) is good and has good potential. But IMO not the best.

High end Telepathy (reading, controlling, and sensing what multiple minds are thinking) is probably the best. It grants intelligence (can read the brightest minds), wealth, sex from anyone, power over the world. The only power that trumps this is something involving gaining immortality.

Time control-can lead to death or something terrible if you mess up. Future seeing is better.

Teleportation is almost useless since if government finds out then you can be caught snoozing and shot

Super Intelligence is iffy and is only as good depending on what is possible in the real universe. Time travel to past, or gaining extra powers, etc. may not be possible. So someone must take a chance on this one. Potentially it can be better than telepathy though.

Technopathy (can give yourself good credit, wealth, etc.). You can just use TP to do these things. So TP is better, unless you want to live longer.

TK is useless (still can be shot when caught snoozing)

Flight is useless (can be shot down)

Speed is useless (you can be still caught snoozing by a sniper with a silencer)
Being invisible would be fun but TP is better. That way you can make people think you are invisible. Not that you would really need too.

Adaptability (Darwin's power) is also iffy. The only plus is gaining immortality.

So in the real world I choose high end TP over immortality. What good is being immortal if you will be eventually lonely and can't explore space because you have no flight powers.

But in the comic world I choose high end intelligence (I can gain other powers, including TP).

Anything I'm missing?

Intelligence does not equate being rich. Most inventor's become rich off of low tech ideas, because let's face it, who the hell can afford a Holodeck to play their video games in a normal home setting. .

Also not all brilliant people are the get up and goers that we read about in comics, I mean when was the last time you read several technical 900 page text books in under a month?

If you go back to the days of slavery, there were many brilliant slaves, but they lacked resources. Try inventing something and pay attention to the most successful inventions to see the day of light. Like I said it's usually things like letter openers and bagged milk openers, or clothes hangers that make the bucks. How much do you think an invention for cars run on kinetic energy would cost?

It's your choice though.

No my super strength will be controllable so I can go from human level to Hercules with a thought. That's one super power, with all of the perks and none of the fuss. Yeah so take that. Want another?

Yeah Super Strength

Can no one see how horrible telepathy would be?

I can. But its all about control.

You may think damn, I'm gonna hear everyone's thoughts 24/7!!! OMG!

But the truth is, you hear things 24/7 with your ears. We are constantly surrounded by noise. We're still alive.

Human thoughts are sporadic and retarded.

Listening to someone's thought would be like watching 50 different television channels at once.

Hearing and feeling are two different things. Shit people commit suicide just dealing with their problems let alone everyone within their neighborhood. If you had TP you would realize very fast why Jesus wept so much.

I want tk so I can go full Tetuso mode on you bitches.

Telepathically tell them to STFU then....and then pretend you're God.

Lol seriously? Your biggest gripe is that you'll hear ugly people hitting on you?

I get that all the time. I'm ugly person catnip.

I don't want telepathy, as I really don't want to know what some people might think about me.

TK? Nope, as I don't want to wake up from a bad dream and realise that I've levelled half of my house.

Super strength? Only if it was like Colossus, and I could turn it on and off at will.

Super Speed? No.

Teleportation? Too many thinks can go wrong, tbh.

Super intelligence? Yes, definitely.

Total Recall? Yep.

Time stopping? Maybe.

Hmmm, not sure about total recall. Sure, you can remember the best events of your life, and everything you've ever learnt...
But the most tragic events of your life would be always there in super HD focus.

I like time stopping too. Although, if control was an issue, you'd sleep and wake up, only to find that 100 years had passed.....

Also, like I said, most of these powers depend on what level we're talking about here.


Super intelligence > total recall, by a lot.

Anyway, anything other than TK is gayfers.

Because I'm a boss like that.

In any case, we're kinda making the assumption I have sufficient control over it to do what I want with the power.

Otherwise, it like saying you want TP...but without control, your every little stray thought gets beamed into the minds of everyone on Earth.

isn't that the point of making these threads? how they're applied in this world

edit* actually, control is a factor cause since you brought up telepathy, there is a difference between charles xaviar and some other guy with telepathy

Yeah, the OP just said most powerful in a real world setting.

So for it to be of any use, I'm assuming you have some semblance of control, and its of a high enough level to make a difference.

TK, for example, is useless if I have no control over it, and all I can do with it is move water droplets very slowly a centimetre at a time.

Super ventriloquism.

I'd take time control. Being able to freeze time and travel forward and backward thru time. Aside from getting rich with knowledge of the future and stuff like that, It would be great to be able to travel to all the iconic moments in history, freeze time, find a good spot to chill and watch how things really played out. Then do the same in the future.

SUPER WEAVING!

http://superdickery.com/images/stories/stupor/1506superweaving4go.jpg

As Mindset pointed out, this largely depends on the level of powers we're talking here. I think the particular interpretation of a powerset is important too. Not all telepaths kill over from unwanted noise, like people are pretending.

The OP ruled out reality manipulation, which is my first choice so...

I'd likely go with telepathy. It'd be like having a cheat code to life.

TK, for example, is useless if I have no control over it, and all I can do with it is move water droplets very slowly a centimetre at a time. the first retort from the OP was "friction burn" when some one brought up the vague power of "super speed". on the positive side you could make some decent coin making water colour paintings with your mind

Would "the force" count as a single power or would it be more like magic in the sense that u can do multiple things with it?

Nah, would take too long, and all my paintings would suck ass.

He brought up friction burn because in the real world, no matter how much control you have, or the level of your superspeed, you will get heat friction. Unless of course your super speed limited you to running at like 75mph. Flash gets away with it with the Speed Force...not sure how Quicksilver gets away with it, though.

Flash gets away with it with the Speed Force...not sure how Quicksilver gets away with it, though. quicksilver's power was a lot more thought out then flash's, let me tell you. quicksilver's mutant power is a physique that is made for high speed travel down to the cartilage in his knees.

anyway, it is a hell of a lot easier to compensate for the wind and debris you'd encounter going 150 kph than it would be to make sure you make edible meat out of a garbage bag full of leaves

I never see Quicksilver eating. His calorie requirements must be enormous, how does he get the fuel?

And he runs far in excess of 150kph...between replacing his shoes and eating all the time, how does he have time to do superheroing?

Yeah all hail Super Speed. Imagine doing 700 mph, and getting a muscle spasm. Ouch ha ha. I'm thinking that it would be a really bad power to have.

I'm guessing you'd also age quicker...

Realistically, super strength is the best "physical power", because, if we're being realistic, with super strength comes super durability and super speed. You have the strength to lift shit, the speed to go places quickly, and the durability to be fine when you trip and faceplant into a building.

But as StyleTime said, it sort of depends on the levels we're talking.

Does spatial manipulation count as reality warping? estahuh

But as StyleTime said, it sort of depends on the levels we're talking.

Does spatial manipulation count as reality warping? estahuh

Well, at least he won't have to poop so much, seeing as he's hyper efficient....

Does he have a healing factor, too? Otherwise, every cut will spray blood everywhere Kill Bill style, thanks to that enlarged heart he must have to carry all that blood at high pressure...

Only everyone is that person.

I remember the scene where Flash had to choose between one of his kids. That sucled.
