If you could have any super power, what would it be?

Okay... let me set this up for you. You have the same ability as Rogue. If you touch another person with Super Powers, you gain them.

Every "superhero" (if you have been a part of my debate, ignore who I do not include. Every comic book/movie character) is lined up infront of you and will not move.

You can touch one person and gain their abilities FOREVER...

Who do you pick and why?

Wolverine. I would be awesome at parties...

"Hey wanna bet $50 that I can stab a knife through my chest and not die?"

Funny as all hell... imagine the possabilities, huh? You are at a girls house and all of her knifes are too dull to cut through... whatever it is she is trying to cut... OUT COME THE CLAWS!!!

Yeah, but not many people in the real world have super powers, so it would be mostly useless

It is a hypothetical situation.

spiderman or superman or Luke Cage

Superman most probably, he's got some cool powers.

Does Rogue also absorb weaknesses? I'd say Martian Manhunter (almost all of Superman's powers and several of his own), but I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life having to avoid open flames.

Yeah, exactly. I was also shifting between the two, but the fire thing. It's too big.

I would probably choose Spider-Man. He has the most fun power package aside from Superman, and I don't want the kind of enhanced senses the Kryptonian possesses. With a danger sense, I can be ready for trouble in a millisecond, but with super-hearing, I would never get sleep or peace of mind with humankind's petty and disturbing chatter going on all the time.
Being able to jump from building to building with fantastic strength, speed and agility would be awesome. What a motivation to step out and get some exercise. If I were faster than bullets and stronger than any other human, you can bet I'd disguise myself and hit the streets, looking for trouble.

Gregory, how often do you allow flames to touch you as it is? Wouldn't you just use a flame-retardant suit, like the Batman does? Somebody please clear up for me what it means when they say J'onn J'onnz is "vulnerable to fire." Is he more flammable than human beings? Why is this considered such a handicap on this planet, when everyone is pretty put off by fire?

I would want my own Symbiote. it might not be truly my own abilitie's but there is a lot of thing's a Symbiote can do

He can actually alter his hearing, much like a remote. Assigning super-hearing to certain destinations, and some not. Reduce the level of volume. Etc.

The Martian Manhunter is very vulnerable to fire. The flames do not have to touch him. And it's not a mere physical weakness; Martians are terrified of fire, to the point that, by simply lighting a match, Plastic Man is at one point able to draw a White Martian's attention away from the battle they were fighting. So even if I wanted to spend the rest of my life walking around in a flame-retardent suit, there would still be the psychological issue to deal with.

Magnetos magnetic mastery.
That would be soo cool

Or I might want to be super powerful like the living tribunal, but the thing is that whatever he thinks, happens. However, I often have some quite bad thoughts, which I would not reallly want to happen

I wouldn't pick J'onn J'onzz, pyrophobia or no pyrophobia.
I don't know about other people, but having telepathy would drive me insane. Too much temptation to use it, eventually it becomes as addictive as the Internet, and it could easily lead to more trouble than it's worth.
When walking around in public, if I got a telepathic whiff that someone nearby had ever smacked a child or sexually assaulted someone, I'd be compelled to give them a horrible, brutal beating at the very least. That would lead to more searching and less restraint with my telepathy, and that would become my whole life right quick.
Remember the movie "Unbreakable?" If I had that going on, I'd become worse than the Punisher, or just collapse mentally. I'd rather be alerted to crimes as they are happening, so I don't have to dwell on everyone else's past sins.
Sorry for babbling. Just thought I'd share my point of view on telepathy, and why "Unbreakable" left me feeling so disturbed (as well as unsatisfied).

I'd chose Proteus (is that how you spell his name?) who could rearange matter on the molecular level or Mikahal Rasputin since with either I can do whatever the hell I like

yeah, but proteus cant control his power (can he?)
i think he is able to jump into other peoples bodies, because his power destroys his own

Perhaps I can now answer my own question.

Obviously, I wish I could have the Optic Blast of Cyke, that would just be awesome. But, at the same time, I would want to be a Jedi. Well, a Sith, but you get the idea.

Anyways, think about it:

Clerk: That will be $5.97
You: *FORCE PERSUADE* But I already paid.
Clerk: Yes, you already paid.

OR:
Cop: You were speeding.
You: *FORCE PERSUADE* I was going speed limit.
Cop: You were going the speed limit.

Sort of limited practical applications, though...
