So running from one end of a city to the other would take as much "time" as usual in your feeling...WOULDN'T THAT BE IMMENSLY BORING AND TIRESOME???!!!
Super Speed. Definitely. Best power to have.Along with everything involved with super speed, like super fast reflexes and the such. Ya know, basically like Flash. But not as fast. Flash's speed is overkill.
Quicksilver's Mach 3 speed would be awesome, however.
Oh...and my favourite power is an elaborate form of empathy.
Actually, though it's not listed, I wouldn't mind having this ability. I call it the Golden Rule power. Whatever harm (in any way, shape or form) you attempt to bring upon someone else, it happens to you instead.
I try to punch you in the nose, my nose breaks and bleeds.
I try to shot you, the bullet curves and hits me.
I try to embezzle a company, my bank account dissolves.
I try to flame someone on the web, my name is substituted instead.
I try to be a suicide bomber, it's my family/people that get blown up.
...and so on...
If I had to fight/be a superhero or something, I'd grab the strength.
Normal everyday life however, telepathy most likely. Unless the telepathy is limited to just like...knowing the card someone is holding up. Then I'd take teleportation or flight.
I think people would freak if you were flying and the government would hunt you down though.
well im the kinda guy who is obsessed with my own mortality...im scared of death and i dont ever want to face it so without even thinking i would choose quick healing cuz with it, if i dont put my life at risk and just chill...i could easily outlive the entire human race.
im sure not all these powers were thought up with marvel in mind but, in MU it is established that ppl with certain powers(namely energy weilders) put a subconscious limit on themselves...for fear of burning out, but others like giant man, and wasp as one so they respectively dont grow too tall, or too short(for according to marvel the human body will fall apart after 60 ft, or below a few inches),
anyhoo the point of my little essay is this, its the same thing with colossus, (and mimic from exiles)....he can stay longer than a few weeks if he wanted to but just scared so if the healing factor wasnt on the table i would take turning to steel providing that the mental restraint was removed......maybe i'd ask wanna yuo telepath's to help me out with that😄....the same way psylock did for the xmen in the savage land. i would transform and never have to eat, breathe or sleep ever again...or age for that matter, maybe i'd revert every now and then to lean in some thai hooker, or idk my girlfriend or wife or something...
