Choose your power/curse

You have been granted an opportunity to get a superpower...but along with it comes certain drawbacks. If you must pick one, which would you choose?

- Invulnerability: you cannot be harmed by anything short of a tank (you have no sensation of touch)

- Super Strength: you can lift up to 100 tons (you cannot adequately control how much force you exert, ie you may crush someone's hands when going for a handshake)

- Super speed: you can move and react and think at 10x normal speed (the world is always in slo-mo to you)

- Flight: you can fly (very large feathery wings will grow out of your back that make it hard for you to walk)

- Healing factor: you heal 10x the rate of a normal person (you experience pain at 10x the intensity and duration, so you will feel pain long after the injury or sickness has healed)

- Telepathy: you can read the minds of those who are within 10 feet radius (you cannot switch it off, so you will see the thoughts of anyone near you)

- Telekinesis: you can move objects (up to 10 tons) with your mind (you are paralyzed from waistdown and stricken to a wheelchair)

healing factor for me

I might choose TK. Just practice until I'm good enough to subconsciously "walk" by manipulating my legs.

Having wings sounds acceptable. First 2 options would make me wanna kill myself.

Telekinesis or Telepathy.

Telekinesis sounds like it has easily the best drawback. People live full lives while wheelchair bound all the time, and they don't have the move-shit-with-my-mind to compensate.

TK - I will just use my powers to move my legs or chair

Tk or invulnerability would make the most sense... The rest are too painful to think about wanting to go on living with the curse.

For those choosing TK, remember you are paralyzed waistdown...meaning you're impotent

Telepathy, I wouldn't go insane uhuh

Lots of people paralyzed from the waist down still have their peter...that's unfair.

No powers for me.

Telepathy. You'll eventually learn how to filter the noise, and worst case scenario is you no longer go to crowded areas (concerts, nightclubs, etc) and know what's going through the head of your girlfriend, friends, family, and co-workers, so nothing would surprise you. With proper application your mack hand could be immaculate, however.

Tk or telepathy.

Telekinesis.

Tk. I could move my legs or fly without the wings.

TP. Whilst yes, it would always be on, and I can 'hear' everyone's thoughts around me for a ten foot radius, guess what - I already hear everything around me. With my ears. And I haven't gone crazy yet.

No one for super speed? I'd become a meditative type to develop my patience, and then I'd essentially be living multiple lifespans.

Telepathy is also acceptable. Besides the fact that you could adapt to the extra "noise" in crowded areas, it also has the most accessible applications to making money or getting women.

This was unclear then. One does not necessarily mean the other.
