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

Started by The Batman4 pages

I'm not an expert on Green Lantern rings, but it was my impression that they mainly dealt in force fields.
What Spawnie and DemonicGambit are talking about is different. In the episode of Buffy they mentioned, an unpopular, depressed young man cast a spell that changed people's minds and also his own physical abilities to become someone he wasn't.
This is closer to something that Franklin Richards could accomplish, given time to master his abilities. Lord Ryugen mentioned Proteus's powers. What he really wants is Franklin Richards's powers. Proteus has to jump from body to body, murdering his hosts, and has an intolerance for metal. Franklin Richards also has the ability to reshape reality in accordance with his imagination, plus powerful psychic abilities, and he doesn't require a host body. That's the power package you really want, if you want to remake the world in your image.

X-Ray vision... The kind that can only see through clothes... No reason... REALLY....

And I would want a symbiote... A SUPER SYMBIOTE!

Batman, I DO know a lot about Green Lantern, and I'm telling you, that the power that you are refarring to, is all in Green Lantern's Ring.Trust me.

You gotta recharge that thing every day. It seems to me that you could get stranded for a while and not be able to recharge.
I still maintain it would be better to be the brat from the Fantastic Four. He may need a nap once in a while, but he doesn't rely on an external power source. Little Franklin Richards is a self-sufficient god. That and he has a hot mom, a cool dad and the most kick-ass uncle ever (that is, Ben Grimm, not his biological uncle).

Yeah, franklyn richars is cool. he's so powerful that even the celestials are concerned about him, and the best thing is that hes only a little kid. Imagine how powerful he will be when he grows up.

I would like to see a fully grown franklin richards (with full control over his powers) against someone like Genis or Thanos or someone like that.

I think a teenage Franklin appeared in a comic about Spiderman's daughter. He was part of the Fantastic 5, Franklin Richards, Sue Richards, Big Brain (Reed Richards brain in a little floaty thing) and of course Ben Grimm, the ever lovin blue eyed Thing.

Batman, you don't have to recharge the ring anymore. In the new Green Lantern Comics [Vol. 3], Kyle Rayner is the Green Lantern, and he upgraded the ring at the central battery on Oa. He no longer has to recharge his ring, nor is he weakened by the color yellow.

HE IS THEREFORE ALMOST UNBEATABLE!

I'm sorry I don't know anything about the Green Lantern, so u'll have to excuse me. Why in the world was he weakened by the color yellow?????
What kind of stupid crap is that? Couldn't they find something else? Has he been traumatized with OJ when he was a kid? U'll have to explain this, so I don't make fun of it anymore. 😛

Have u guys seen the movie Dark City? All that stuff about altering realities and phasing is in that movie. If u haven't seen it then run to the video store and rent it. Very funsky.

And yes, ppl with telekinesis and extreme mind powers could rule all. Unless u have that Magneto helmet on 😄.

Think about some powers that u could hide easy so u don't bring the whole world's armys on your ass. Not that u guys would mind that too much right? Your would enjoy ripping apart tenks and bend them just with a mere thought. Yes, true that would be fun, but still u gotta have friends on earth, and ppl that r not scared of u.

I thought the Green Lantern's weakness was wood.

No, that's.... uh... who is that? The wood thing sounds familiar. Oh well.
Yeah, the color yellow thing is a pansy-ass weakness. I'm sure it has to do with the UV spectrum or whatnot. You know what that means, don't you? It means that when Wolverine first appeared, he could have beaten the whole Green Lantern Corps. That doesn't sound right, somehow.
I want a ring upgrade from Planet Oa! Someone should make me one with the most powerful weapon in the universe. Then I'd set everything right. 😎

Back on subject, telekinetic abilities to the degree were i can compress matter into fire or at a distance cause a piece of wood to detonate like a nuclear weapon or forge the very air into weapons. Thats the power for me....

I don't know if it was ever a comic but the Neo Mitochondria from Parisite Eve would be too damm cool

Raven do u know what u're asking for ? 🙂 U would have to be able to rearrange things at their mollecular level or sub atomic. I don't know man, I think it's kinda too complicated to be acomplished by a human mind. Anyone plz tell me if this has ever been adapted for any hero or villan in comics or movies, etc.

^ I dont know of any.

I think Firestorm has an ability like that.

Yeah, Firestorm does.

I created my own character who has such powers as well. Unfortunately, I have a disordered mind that is easily discouraged when it comes to writing my stories.

Characters like Kevin McTaggert and Franklin Richards have an easier time of recreating reality than people like Firestorm and the hero I made up. They act as though it's magic, with little or no concentration on the molecules and energy they are changing. Franklin and Proteus have/had the maturity of children, and they just act on their whims and wills. It's too much power, but it could be fun.

i think i'd want telepathy like martian manhunter

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).

Think about that a while, punkyhermy. Telepathy requires massive willpower to avoid abusing it and being abused by it.

That's what I've been trying to tell u ppl dammit! Have u seen the movie Rose Red? Or Sixth sense? Ppl, we have to agree on something, and that is that mind control powers and such r extremely deadly to the user. When u try to materialzile things or move them, or displace or whatever, u're actually putting lots of brain activity into one thing, and if u're distracted for one millisecond u can blow yourself up or u could do it to someone else. Oh I have the perfect example for u guys, the anime Akira. I hope u all have seen that one, cuz if u haven't then u shouldn't be talking about telekinetic powers! See what happends to a boy that also got his telekinetic powers by mere technology. The whole thing, the whole innormous power consumed him, cuz he didn't have the control capacity and phisiology. U have to understand that any intense brain activity affects your whole body. That thing with magic is a bunch of bs, I don't like it. Even Willow from Buffy said that making a pencil levitate is all about controlling your emotions. Buffy said something about Faith and the pencil wasn't levitating anymore it went into a tree. I hope u guys get my idea.
