Choose your power/curse

Everyone would talk in slow motion, and then I'd kill myself.

I started typing that in a very drawn out fashion, and that made me want to kill myself so I spared everyone.

Telepathy. I would be so rich.

Flight would be most useful for me in the case of a zombie apocalypse, so that.

Telepathy.

TK would be second choice.

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)

Personally I think anyone would go insane having an unfiltered uncontrolled ability to read minds. I think it would just be sensation overload and would drive anyone crazy.

Telekinesis was possibly my choice although I hate the idea of not being able to go run on my own, but being impotent is not worth it.

Flight, you would stand out to much and become and easy target.

Super Speed, I would go insane trying to interact with the human world. Imagine waiting for a stop light 10 times as long or having a conversation where it lasts ten times longer. Also think of all the idle time you would have to basically do nothing but think.

Super Strength I would want because I would still want human interaction of some kind and I would be too scared of killing someone just by giving them a hug.

Invulnerability, would drive me crazy. No sense of touch means no sex, or being able to feel the warmth of the sun or the touch of someone you love. It would make life to empty feeling for me.

Healing Factor would be my choice. I know having ten times the pain seems like a lot but honestly how often do we get hurt, I could take it.

None, thanks.

I choose the willpower of Doom.

I take all these powers and will the curses away.

Come. At. Me.

Damn man I like your curses.

btw, remember if you choose healing, not only is the pain 10x as intense (ie a paper cut on your finger feels like your finger has been chopped off, a cold sore on your lips feels like acid on your lips...but that sensation is also there 10x as long, even after the injury has physically healed, you'll still experience pain)

come on Pr, be a sport and pick one...

None of them actually appeal to me, so no.

If you had included Cyclops' powers, then maybe.

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

Shouldn't you add a curse for Pr to make the decision hard?

That's a good point, it's pretty much tailor made for his enjoyment. mmm

Telepathy, yes the drawback is considerable but can be managed. People are annoying, so what.

thank you sir, I put some thought into them!

Plus I don't plan on getting hurt everyday.

I do have some questions though, you say you heal ten times faster than a human, but if something would normally kill you as a human would your healing factor be able to stop!, Like if I got somewhere vital other than the brain would I still die just like a normal human would or is there I chance I would heal from it?
