But then think of the things you could gain. Theres so much to telepathy you could help people all around the world. Help the dying by negating pain, solve crimes and so on. Transcend the physical. Xaviers telepathy was only limited to earth because of Magnetos manipulations of th electromagnetic spectrum. Who knows i mmight be able to make first contact with an alien species lol. Im getting a bit ahead of myself here lol.
It doesnt necessarily make things boring. Just like telepaths do in comics you erect shields in your mind to prevent peoples thoughts from automatically crashing into your mind.
I guess its just each to their own really, because the novelty of running around faster than cars all day would soon wear off for me.
That's more than one though... If we can order by superheroes, I wanna be freaking Superman.
And Flash-like superspeed would be pretty bitchin... All the bonuses of invisibility and teleportation and so much more.
Control over time would be pretty sweet as well. I'm not just talkin time travel, I mean the whole speeding up and slowing down thing.
