This is simple, for me at least. I'd want the power to control time. Every aspect of it belongs to me. That would be awesome. I could rewind everything and fix mistakes in the past and fast-forward to see and visit the future. Not only that, I could speed up and slow down time, bullett-time[funny shit]. I'd also want to be able to freeze time. I could go anywhere and nobody could stop me. I'd be the ultimate spy. Also, if i chose to, I could take people into frozen time with me, like friends and stuff, we could do anything. You would be the ultimate fighter also. 'Cause whenever anybody would throw a punch at you, you could freeze time, move out of the way, un freeze time, and then slug the person, and they'd be all, wtf?!?!?! In my opinion, the Power to Control Time is the ultimate power of desire.

LP is the only one that actually gave thought to this thread. The only thing about your wish is that u have to have some limits. No superhero power goes without some kind of limit. Doesn't that make the wish more human? U know, all that stuff about that in life u always need some kind of balance of power. Actually u need always balance, in any aspect of your life. Let's just say that we could limit your range of time freeze and the time that u can spend inside of it. And let's say that u can expand your abilities by using them more continuosly. Now doesn't that sound better? More human? More exciting? 😄
Actually your idea is great and it was adopted in a manga comic called JoJo. They had also an animates series, and the main bad guy is called Dio. Dio in Italian means God. In this comic some ppl in the world have the power to use some kind of alter. Well the alter is like your alternative psicological personality and power. The more they use their alter it gets stronger and easier to use. Dio's alter is called "The World" and it has the power to freeze time. Dio on his own is an immortal, kinda like a vampire. He can only freeze time in a limited frame and only for short time, but in that time frame he can move very freely. The only thing he didn't count on was the main good guy called JoJo. He has the alter of Star Platinum, and he is fast as the speed of light. His alter is medium range, well it means he can move the alter from himself at a medium range. I dont' know exactly how much that is but I'd say a few miles. The thing was that Star Platinum, being so fast, got somehow used to the time freeze. It all depends on how good u're with your alter. Star Platinum actually moved in the timefreeze and saved its host. Well u have to see the episode to enjoy this fully so I invite u to do so 🙂.
Personally, I think there are too many flaws in LP's vision of controlling time (or lack of detailed qualification) for Spawnie's statement to be true. He may have thought about his answer, but not necessarily more than everyone else here. Personally, I wouldn't want such a power, because part of me does want it, and that would lead to terrible things.
DemonicGambit - ok, nice idea, but I thought about that once too, and I came to the conclusion that I would do more damage then good with that kinda power.
Ok, I'll explain it to u.
The thing is that all your thought wishes would get materialized. So u would have to be careful all the time what u wish for while contemplating about a simple sandwitch. Your wish is kinda tricky so u would have more problems then solutions for yourself. Your parents would probably knock u out silly each time u would think too much, lol.
groundhog day was some funny movie, I liked it very much and yes it would be cool if it happend to me too, but I would put one week limit to it, lol. When he started to kill himself in many ways, lol, oh boy that was some funny shit.
About the time stopping, have u guys seen an old episode of the TwilightZone(don't know if it's spelled right), the thing was in Black and White. It was about a man that got a portable stop watch, and every time he clicked it the time in the whole world stopped. Wooohooo ha, very nice indeed. The guy stopped time any time he needed something, and eventually he got verey greedy and thought about robbing a bank vault. Well, since he is the only one moving in the time stop he had to do it all by himself. Hi hi, well in the rush of things somehow he dropped the watch and broke it, thus leaving him alone amongst millions of ppl that r now no more then wax statues. 😄 U like? It's an old classic but with a cool story.
