Which power would you choose and why?

If you had a choice to gain one of the following, which one will you pick and why?

1. Permanent limitless pill (lasts a lifetime with no side effects).
2. The next power of 2 minutes (Nicholas Cage).
3. The highlander power (immortal unless your head is cut off) and cutting off someone else's head results in gaining their knowledge and skills.
4. Jumper's power (teleportation).

Bonus question. Which choice of powers below is best to take over the world the easiest?

1. Dr. Xavier power with permanent limitedless pill (no side effects for both) .

Or

2. The 2 minute next power and jumper's power and highlander's power.

Next is out. Sure it's an awesome power, but you could only do so much with it. You'd be an amazing athlete or something like that though.

With Highlander, you'd become a mass murderer, and there's no guarantee immortality equals a great life.

Jumper would honestly be pretty cool; you could do a whole lot with that.

I'd have to take the NZT though. With it, you could learn anything, figure out anything. The world would literally be at your fingertips, and no one other than a fellow NZT user would be able to get even near your level of efficiency. And in a comic world, you could just invent technology to give yourself super powers. If it makes you inhumanly brilliant in the real world, it'd put you on a high end level of intelligence in the comicverse.

Xavier's telepathy with the NZT is the best choice to take over the world. With your telepathy, you could manipulate or outright control every world leader. And with your intelligence you could basically run the world and no one would know.

What does the limitless pill do?

NZT is literally a smart pill. It basically lets you use 100% of your brain, at 100% efficiency. Eddie Mora, the main character of the movie was a writer who'd had writer's block for like 2 years. He took the pill, finished his book in a few hours(went on to become a best seller), and cornered the stock market, making himself a millionaire in a few weeks or months. He did a lot more too. You should watch the movie, it's awesome.

In the show, Brian Fynch gets the pill and does stuff like become a master MMA fighter in a day or so(the guy who trained him said it took him 5 years to get that good, after Brian had only been practicing for one or two days), solved unsolvable crimes, etc...

It can even give you perfect recall, as a guy who'd been accused of murdering his wife several years ago remembered her killers face from touch, despite not getting a good look at him.

You basically become the perfect version of yourself, and then some.

In the show(continuation of the movie), Eddie Mora is a senator running for President, and someone tried to assassinate him(the sniper was also on NZT). Eddie hears the gunshot, and moves just enough to get grazed by the bullet, which in turn causes his voter numbers to skyrocket. So he basically kinda dodged a sniper round on purpose to help his campaign(he could have dodged it completely)

it basically turns you into Michael Holt of DC Comics.

nzt is the easy, and perhaps the obvious answer, but i'd choose "jumping".

to me, that's ultimate freedom. I don't feel the need to be a super genius. I'd pull off one giant heist and live the rest of my life hopping all around the world.

Being an Immortal actually seems pretty awful, to be honest. Outlive everyone you care about, can't have children, Watchers come butting into your business, and, every now and then, some lunatic tries to cut your head off with a sword.

Don't count next out. With it you can potentially see far into the future. For example, if you see something then write it down (or type it on your cellphone). Your 2 minutes past self will see what you wrote and then copy it on his cell phone, and his 2 minute past self will see it and do the same. This can go up to the point you woke up.
That means you can win all lottery, casinos, Texas holdem, etc. You will be almost impossible to kill. You can win over many people (women) by find out what to say and do. You can learn anything at an accelerated rate. For example, if you be taught mathematics then before the teacher opens his mouth you would have learned what he taught.

So you can be filthy rich, get women, be smart, be the best fighter or skilled athlete (hit a home run every time, hit a 3 point shot everytime, win every fight, win every chess game, etc), become like Deadshot and Captain America at the same time, etc.

Highlander

With the highlander's power you can become a genius if you kill one. But who wants to kill? You can live for a long time (if that's your desire). No one will know that cutting your head off kills you (unless you tell them).

I would say
1. Next
2. NZT
3. Jumper
4. Highlander

With NZT ability you can do a little Next ability (as Morra showed at the end of the movie) and
With the Next ability you can become smart (learn fast) and make No mistakes

there's no way in hell i would ever want to be immortal unless i could also shapeshift to conceal my identity throughout time, and have eternal youth... 'cause why in tf would i wanna live forever looking like Palpatine.

you don't age with the highlander ability. You will always look young (if you already are).

still, looking the same for centuries would be problematic.

You would be an amazing fighter as you can predict every punch/kick thrown
Depending on the sport, for example football. It'd be nearly impossible to tackle you or intercept your passes as you'd know what didn't work.
Etc, etc...

Don't know how it'll make you smart though. Or make you like Cap.

Keanu Reeves has gotten away with it for a pretty long time.

The no children and outliving everyone is still a b****. Plus, you'd have to change up paperwork/IDs etc. every few years, which is another hassle. Otherwise, you'd raise a lot of questions when years pass by and your appearance remains exactly the same. Just seems like a rather lonely and miserable existence.

be smart by learning fast (before the teacher opens their mouth you would have learned the lesson and know the answer to many questions on tests)

be the best fighter (as shown in the movie)

skilled athlete (hit home run everytime, hit every basketball shot, etc). Did you see the movie? Cage was able to dodge a barrage of bullets by trial and error.

become like Deadshot and Captain America at the same time (trial and error when shooting and trial and error in fighting).
