Assume these powers are granted in a real world scenario. Say for instance a being of great power offers you the choice to gain 1 of 4 super powers. Which one would you pick and why.

Telepathy - At a local level within 360 square feet, with the ability to affect up to 10 human minds.

Cyberpathy - Local level through direct interface, 360 square foot with ability to affect up to 10 machines at once.

Super Speed - Able to move and act of up to mach 1.

Advance Healing - unbeatable immune system, able to overcome any form of infection or disease.

telapathy no contest. brb go to where bill gates makes a public appearance and mind rape him into wiring my off shore accounts billions. about to die? pull a professor x and transfer my consciousness into a new body. dont like the president? have a secret service agent shoot the ***** in the face, or get close enough during the inauguration or any event she makes an appearance at to implant the thought offing herself then uploading naked pics to kmc before she does it, want free shit? just mind rape them into giving it to you. if you have no morals, this power is god.

Agree with this, only why even bother with the wire transfer. Anything money is EVER needed for you simply TP make the person that needs to be paid see the cash or a valid transaction. You process an card payment that says fail and they see approved. Once you have the goods, deed ownership etc you just mind rape them and remove any memory of you ever being there so no reason for anyone to even chase up a payment they later see failed.

I know you all are joking around, but you speedsters won't know who we telepaths are. You aren't speedblitzing anyone. In all likelihood, our paths will never cross. If we do happen to eat at the same restaurant or something, only the telepath would ever know.

Fortunately for you all, l dislike senseless violence. I'd just scan you and go "Cool. That guy went with Super speed." If I sense you're friendly, I might introduce myself, while implanting a mental block so you could never hurt me.

But yeah, telepathy is the obvious choice because the OP only limited the range and not the power, unlike the others. Basically, we get to pull Jean Grey level shit within our sphere of influence. Hard to pass up.

Cyberpathy is second choice, as again, range limitations but no power limitations. Superspeed third, as I could be a professional athlete and get rich. Immunity to sickness is cool, but the healing factor is neutered compared to the others.

krisblaze
Yes, in all seriousness I don't think I'd do any violence, at least not to any of the other metas, assuming I'm not the only one with powers.

And tbh, we wouldn't even have to fall that far on the conventional morality scale. Hitting up Oprah/Trump for free plane rides or cheating on gameshows/casino games aren't the worse things imaginable.

Cyberpathy vs Telepathy
If your in it for the for the money. In this day and age, where everything is digitally stored and monitored. I think Cyberpathy could get you just as far as Telepathy.

Plus if you want to use your power for greed, the lack of person to person interaction means there is one less moral boundary to consider/overcome.
One flight to Vegas, will turn you rich just by playing the slot machine.

On the other hand, Cyberpathy would turn you into something akin to the character Livewire or Cable w/Dominus objective. Load and unload information from the net disregarding any firewall. Manipulate code on the fly. Gives you ample amounts options.

The moral boundry is still there you immoral ****.

Im not saying that with Cyberpahty the moral boundary would be eliminated. Only that the moral boundary would easier to overcome, due to the person - machine interaction. The lack of human to human interaction makes it easier to pull off these stunts.

But yeah I would totally go Cyberpathy.
Grant myself passport to any country of my liking.
Give myself a credit cards with no limit. Have the bill monthly zeroed out.
Apply for a home loan. Have it payed out almost immediately.
Same with utility bills.

I would not have to work. Everything would be done instantly, with me not having to go through a single person.

Honestly, with speed, i'd grab some cash for myself from say, criminals and what not.
I'd use the same money to help people, but man my nerd collections would be huge!

lol the exact same thing can be said about super speed. how many times have we seen a speedster get rekt by a guy without super speed? pis and cis are a thing.

tbh, it depends entirely on the situation. can go either way. but in comics pis and cis limit both these powers, or there wouldnt ever be a story.

OP didn't mention this so I assume it's not a part of the powerset. I would have chosen 4 too if he did.

Digi
Yeah, consciousness transfer makes telepathy OP. And immortality makes healing an OP #2. Nothing else is close if those are on the table, and all four are in play if they aren't.

Assuming the latter, any but #4 make you easily rich. I'd take speed personally bc it would be so much more convenient. Telepathy is too based on manipulation. Only cyberpathy entices me otherwise. Again, assuming the immortality options aren't available.

cdtm
Not having to worry about any disease still makes #4 pretty attractive.

Goodbye health insurance premiums, doctor's visits, and worrying about every suspicious mole or heart flutter.. (Not to mention std's.. smile )

Goodbye health insurance premiums, doctor's visits, and worrying about every suspicious mole or heart flutter.. (Not to mention std's.. smile ) it would also be a fairly good way of making money. Get a few vials of your blood, distribute small amounts of them, and then sell your blood to the highest bidders when everyone realizes that you effectively have the cure for cancer, aids, etc. Your name gets in put in the history books as "the living miracle/the person that cured cancer", you get to retire early, and it's all completely legal.

StyleTime
Decent chance you'd get locked up and experimented on going that route. Or assassinated because people are stupid.

CosmicComet
Not sure why people are talking about a fight situation.

The OP didn't say if you picked a power there would be people who had the remaining three.

The reason I chose super-speed is because its the only power here that will actively make you feel like a super-human, at all times.

And again, unless its some kind of magic, non-physics based speed, you also get enhanced durability by default.

Telepathy is the next best, but 360 square feet is a really small range.

Or the government declares your blood a controlled substance, and outlaws it's distribution until a lot of "research" is done first (E.g. they and their pharmacy cronies work on monetizing you.. or worse, ban's you if you're too effective and turn everyone into immune regenerating immortals..)

The way the OP is worded, the telepathy is only good for human minds.

Meaning you are a super-human 100% of the time, with no stipulations needed.

Neither Telepathy or Cyberpathy can claim that.

Super speed can help you get rich. Can help you fight. Help you survive in the wilderness. It can give you more time to study. You can admire beautiful sights like a sunset or rain drops or snow fall for much longer if you choose to. And it makes you more durable by default.

There are zero downsides to having Super speed.

Yeah, you won't have an invincible immune system, but you never had it in the first place anyway so its no loss.

Controlling human minds also includes controlling your own. If you're a telepath, you can just activate the part of your mind that tells your adrenal glands to start working. Will you be as fast as a speedster? No, but you will have enhanced strength, speed, durability, pain tolerance, and you'll still have your telepathy. Again, there was no real limiter placed on your telepathy, so I'd go to a few dojo's first and I'd instantly become a black belt because I now know every technique that everyone there knew.

Help me fight and survive in the wilderness? What are the benefits of this? Fighting wild animals? Sounds like completely retarded and unrealistic scenarios.

Any fight with be over in a second with telepathy.

It'd be way easier to get rich with cyberpathy or telepathy, and they would be much better for studying, assuming anyone with said powers would need that nonsense.

You are not durable by default, you can simply handle your own speed.

You somehow managed to make superspeed sound less appealing then it already was.

Meanwhile a telepath walks around with their hands in their pockets cause they have no need to run from or to anything. You get access to any place you want to go to with access to anything you want to get without effort since people can just casually hand you things like plane tickets or account codes. You can have them forget you or the event ever existed completely or give them a fake story like they do in M.I.B. Your choice.

Nobody on Earth can take advantage of a telepath and there is no defense nor is there a way to prove it exists to even prosecute you for it's use. Can't say the same for the other powers.

You are not durable by default, you can simply handle your own speed.

You somehow managed to make superspeed sound less appealing then it already was.

-The benefits are self-explanatory, they help you survive. The specified telepath would be helpless in such a scenario. There is nothing unrealistic about getting attacked by a wild animal. It happens, well, every damn day.

-One second? Wow, that's so long. The Mach 1 Speedster could end a fight in milliseconds. Another benefit thus, you save so much time in life as a speedster.

-And how do you 'handle your speed' without being more durable? Rather stupid thing to say. That's what logically has to happen for you to withstand the rigors of Mach 1. Your muscles, skeleton, nervous system etc have to be more durable to withstand the friction, and not to mention the G-forces, as it only takes a few to knock a person unconscious.

-It would be easier to get richer with telepathy and cyberpathy. Who said it wouldn't? But you are still physically nothing special and in the wrong circumstances are completely helpless using the OPs specifications.

And no, why would such a base level telepathy help you get smarter? Your brain is your brain. Just because you can control others' brains does not mean their intelligence becomes yours.

And getting smarter is always a benefit to furthering power. Being a speedster at least gives you the time you need to learn on your own.

-You somehow find the one power where you are legitimately physically superior to every single human by orders of magnitude unappealing? The rush of running faster than the wind and seeing ordinary things in slow motion is more than enough. Super speed helps you in every physical way while also being able to help you fiscally/mentally.

On the other hand Telepathy/Cyberpathy have absolute garbage range as per the OP. 360 square feet, which is the size of a living room, or a crappy apartment. And within that living room sized space you can only affect 10 humans at a time, and yet your range of influence can fit far more than 10 humans. So if you were to be assault by a large crowd, you'd be boned. Likewise any gunman can shoot you from just a few dozen yards away.

You also don't have any enhanced reflexes so you'd presumably have to take a moment to lock on to a person's brain waves before you can do anything.

You can also only affect humans, so if you are walking alone somewhere and a venomous snake bites you, you're helpless to stop it. If a bear attacks you, you are helpless to stop it. A large dog gets loose and chases you? You'd have to fight it on your own.

On the other hand the Mach 1 speedster is a few multiples faster than what's necessary to be invisible to the naked eye, so getting caught is a very low risk, and by most practical terms you are a demi-god, so there are few situations dealing with physical harm that you couldn't overcome or avoid in the first place. Even a crowd of people that could overcome this barebones telepath would be easy to beat since each person is going to be a slug relative to you anyway.

Sure, the likelihood of being attacked by a large crowd if you were a telepath operating covertly is unlikely, but again its a scenario where you'd be helpless, but a deadly animal attacking you is not impossible. Again, I like to keep myself covered for all situations just in case.

I'll take the L on the metabolism as a possible side effect, but not sure why you'd assume I wouldn't be able to control the environmental effects of my speed.

The default speedster in comics/fiction in general has those things under control.

All I took that to mean is that you aren't choosing to be a meta-human in a comic story.

After all, physics may be a real world characteristic, but 'A being of great power' that grants you your chosen ability is not. He/She may very well have the generosity and foresight to cancel out the negatives of the powers.

I'll await Id's further clarifications on the other matter.

You guys are really reaching trying to find super speed downsides. laughing

Guys, there was no power limit on the telepathy. You don't give a shit about animal attacks, because you don't need a body. There's plenty of examples of telepaths existing in psionic or astral form. There's even examples of telepathic energy affecting things physically, which bypasses the need for a "human mind." A concentrated psi-bolt would do the trick.

Even in that dumb animal scenario, the telepath is fine. That said, superspeed is still a fine pick. Just lower on the priority list.

The telepathy choice is showing how easily powers can corrupt, and people can self destruct.

Even in that dumb animal scenario, the telepath is fine. That said, superspeed is still a fine pick. Just lower on the priority list.

i know right? why even bother with super speed. in this scenario youre barely faster than a boeing 747, itll still take you HOURS to get wherever you want to go LOL and thats not counting all the stops you have to make for food. oh and theres the whole perception/everything feeling slow as shit thing.

The speedsters were the first ones wanting to knock the other participants out, beat up animals, and fight mobs of people for no particular reason. Sounds like a violent bunch. stick out tongue

We're just responding to the situations presented. Like I said, needlessly hurting people wouldn't be on the menu for me. I just want my free food and stuff.

Nice try though.

He didn't claim any of the stuff I said the speedsters claimed. He is listing things one could do. You listed the things you would do.

thumb up that too.

Regardless, you can stay fairly moral with any of these powers. This idea that you have to become some evil overlord because you have powers is silly. Not even sure why people are speculating on who'd win in a fight. We'd just be living our lives here.

people want speed so they can fight wild animals. but what good is running speed if you dont even know or notice a lion jumps yo ass, then its all over.

You're the one that remarked on speedsters being a violent bunch.
The very first reply (which was for telepathy) is chock full of body stealing, assassination and mental rape.

I can tell you're one of those "nuh UH! But what had happened was" types.
Not worth any more of my time.
Neither is this thread, really, as its just become megalomaniacal bull shit slinging.
Was a fun OP question, though.

krisblaze
Riv don't get mad because you got called out.

Style clearly referred to the speedsters talking about fighting other metas.

Which was the first thing you yourself brought up.

Take your medicine like a man, don't run away.

With telepathy, if you are going into an area with dangerous wild animals you always take a few mindraped bodyguards (preferably speedsters) whose job is to jump in front of the animals and fight or sacrifice themselves to save you. Problem solved.

So, we have you, Skyline, who cant/wont read a post correctly, and Ghostman, who kicked things off by describing how he'd abuse his powers to the fullest.

A real Trinity of Terror.

Petty bs aside, I admit that Skyline is a pretty good screen name. I might take it if you don't mind.
