Yeah, I wouldn't be unhappy with Jack's power. But it also wouldn't be my first choice. I suppose GL Ring would be out of the question, but there are a few others I'd gravitate toward.
I also wholly disagree with Scoob on immortality. I'd be perfectly fine with not having the fear of death.

Well, there's two ways I might answer this. I'm not sure which is best.
The first is that the world keeps changing, so the infinite permutations of existence would prevent boredom. I'm quite certain I wouldn't mind being around 30 years old for the next 100 years, so why not 2,000 as well?
The second is that you may be right, but we probably don't have the perspective to say what would actually happen to our minds if we were to live that long. It's simply not within our experience to say with any certainty.
I remain convinced that existence is preferable to oblivion, though, so I'd take my chances.

I, for one, actually chose a power I'd want in our real world, as well as a power that would allow me to kill everyone in a competition. Being able to turn my microwave into a fully functioning flat screen tv or my car into a personal jet or a robot or an Aston Martin with the wave of my hand or a glare would be f*ckin sweet. There's also all the things I could do remotely (alter my credit score, produce money out of thin air and create a paper trail/transaction ledger of investments that makes it seem legitimate, etc). I'm also smart enough to know not to do these things in front of people and get caught. The only catch I would eventually run into is the life extension applications being able to merge with machinery.
You forgot the ability to run away from a mini-tourney.

For years, when people ask the 'if you could have ANY superpower...' question, I've been answering 'Animal Man's Power', and then having to explain it to noobs.
I usually explained that I thought replicating animals would offer the perfect amount of exhilaration without crossing over to the 'so powerful you're distant from humanity' point.
Obviously for this tourney I went directly against that line of thought...
I always wanted Super Skrull's powers... not an option for this tourney though as it's like, 7 different powers in one body

My ruling is pretty much done--I just have a few tweaks to make here and there. It will be submitted to Blair later today.

It was futile. I'd stated my plans in the thread, then a 'tourney' was announced afterwards and people were retroactively accounting for my posts in their plans and making me a priority despite the thread stipulating no prior knowledge. There was no point.

Yeah, there were a few of us in that boat. But you undoubtedly got the worst of it.
No one's fault, since we didn't know what it would become. But, to invoke the cliche, it is what it is.

At least you didn't get your power disqualified deep into the thread even though it still fell under low herald.

I wasn't going to click on this thread until I had that huge feeling my name was brought up. Dark, you're the best.

I missed out on that. I read the first page then jumped to fifty-something.
I have no idea what you planned.

Scoob would drop a black hole on you.

That could be interesting, although I don't know the upper limit of his power. Time shenanigans are banned though.
Also, I still think a multiperson stalemate would be awesome when the results come in.
