You have been taken away, experimented on and dumbed back into your apartment/home. You have an envelope right beside you with your name on it. You open it up and discover that you were given new powers and abilities and it gives you a brief description of what you can do. Which power would you choose? You have not received a lot on how to use your new abilities. This is something that has been thrown on you. You also have to remember the other consequences that comes along with living in today's time with these type of abilities. Your powers are active as soon as your done reading the envelope.

Your choices are...

Colossus
Nightcrawler
Wolverine
Beast Boy
Mystique
Gambit
Kitty Pride
Cyclops (you receive a pair of visors)

Colossus or Wolverine for me. Sweet powersets and unless you do something stupid in public, no one would know you even had powers.

I'd pick Wolverine. His powers seem more useful in the real world and easier to blend in. The only thing that would suck would be being practically immortal and outlining family/kids

I'd kill people. All of them.

I would take Wolverine's probably the easiest to control and least conspicuous on an uncontrolled flare up.

I'd like gambits though id probably harm myself really quick

As cool as Colossus's powers would be, his powers always felt like an accident waiting to happen to me. It works in comics, but in a practical sense?

If his power is something you can activate easily, then what's to stop it happening if you say, sneeze? Or cough? Sex would be a ****ing minefield as you try not to transform and kill your partner.

The alternative is that requires serious concentration, and if you're concentrating on that, then you're gonna have a hard time concentrating on anything else.

As far as the actual choice for me? Wolverine or Mystique are the obvious choices, imo.

I don't think a lot of people here knows what Wolverine goes through daily with the adamantium poison.

Technically, having a metal skeleton is not a "power" of his, just something that was done to him. And Beast fixed the poisoning thing, fyi.

But sure, being Logan = plenty of pain, more than you can imagine. Super senses alone would take forever to adjust to.

Colosuss for me.

Yes I was gonna ask if I would get the metal bones too or just his "powers" I'd still take his powers over the other choices. I'd really like to have Spideys powers tho

Either Kitty, or Gambit for me. His likeability aura would be very useful.

I thought about putting him on the list but I knew everyone would close him.

Healing factor would fix so much shit in our bodies, it's an insta-win.

No real down sides to Kitty Pride's power.

And being able to walk through walls, streets at night, or enjoy concerts and movies without fear of being blown up/shot is pretty useful in today's world.

The thing is, you could go full on thief and just rob stuff right in front of police, and they can't really stop you.

She can make other stuff intangible, right? So just drive an intangible van, load it up, and drive off. If they follow you, keep passing through buildings or off road areas.

Or hell, let them catch you. Eat an intangible burger and palm intangible cash right in front of them, what are they gonna do?

Kitty has years of hard training.

You just have your shitty K'un-Lun janitor job, cdtm. You'd phase through one punch, only to get your neck snapped by the other one.

Years of hard training, sure,but it's not like Colossus,who has to do it in private.

I could practice by putting my hands in my pockets, phasing through my trousers and fondling away.

You'd still get blown up at that Aryana concert, y'know.

The power activate as soon as you are done reading the note. Imagine having Kitty powers activate without you having any training. Nightmare.

That's pretty much Stilt's point.

She wasn't intangible all the time, was she? Before she learned to control her powers? That, I can see being a nightmare.

But just learning how to switch them on and affect other stuff makes it an easy choice, compared to the other powers (Mess up Cyke or Colossus's powers, and we're looking at a mistake that could draw a lot of unwanted attention at best, seriously hurt someone at worst..)

Logan's power is for massochist's.. I'd rather not get hurt, then be able to survive god knows what.

Yeah, phasing to Earth's core and dying there

Well, the bad writing where she doesn't is explained as her walking on molecules or something.

But know what would be awesome? WALKING to the Earth's core.

Or into space, where you don't nees to breath.

Originally posted by StiltmanFTW

Like Kitty did when her powers first manifested?

gotta be careful not phasing inside things. but then again didn't kitty start off as a teen at the x-school might not be that hard

id like to think that if these kids use their at least to a proficient level then the learning curve might not be all that. not everyone on that list is a genius or anything they just had the time to train and it might not take that long to get decent.


the healing factor would be the best benefit IRL but I do think it might be the hardest power to train for. you basically have to not hear/smell everything at once.

changed my mind to gambit

A very good point that most overlook. Being Logan is a job in and of itself, and while it may seem alluring to have his abilities there are also several issues that come along with them.

sorry adamantium skeleton is not in his powerset

You think carver knows what Wolverines powers are?

Colossus / Wolverine.

While Kitty isn't a bad choice down the road, I would be worried about the learning process. Truth be told, when Kitty's powers first manifested, it was pure luck that she survived her accidental phasings(obviously the character can't die since they need her for the comic). We don't get the luxury of a character shield though, so we could just as easily have phased into her bed or that brick wall.

https://postimg.org/image/xj2zf9vrf/
https://postimg.org/image/fub8nnk0b/

While her learning curve was fairly quick, she still seemed pretty surprised it was working after she started willing it to. Just seems like a huge gamble to make for me.
https://postimg.org/image/fvl6h2lu3/

Even then, she's accidentally phased as an adult, when having sex with Colossus. Lots of room for lethal mistakes here.

Yeah, but she also didn't know what her powers were. Here, we're outright told what to expect.

The Colossus thing is worry, but afaik not really the norm for her (Just something the writer put in as an excuse to have "lol teen romance sexcapades"

Doesn't Mystique have a HF ...of sorts?

But yeah, barring the stupid shit about Little Jimmy's "Powerset" even with out the Metal. It would be nice to not worry about getting sick or hurt. As long as I don't have to start Living like Little Jimmy aka going out and doing stupid shit where I get shot, burned, beat up or just generally tortured ever day of my life.
Nightcrawler's would be cool if he could tele for farther distances, other tthen that it would be useful for hopping around the house I guess..especially if I didn't have to be come a fuzzy blue demon looking guy.

Just don't have sex with Colossus...I'm not sure what the issue is here.

Say whatever you want about bendis, but Ultimate spider-man made an excellent point. Without any training, your claws would constantly be popping out and just because you have a healing factor doesn't mean that getting shot or hit by a car doesn't hurt.

Mystique is the best overall. She has a limited healing factor, is flexible and agile because of her shifting, can create claws/blades, hide things in her body, create clothes just by shifting, can move her organs to avoid serious injury, flatten her body so that impact doesn't hurt her, and can literally talk her way out of almost everything by appearing to be an ally of her enemy. It would take some time to figure out her powers, but I could literally Rob a bank and get away with it by pretending to be someone else and by hiding the money in the pouches of my body that I create.

What if you're sitting at a table eating and you think about someone and transform into that person in front of everyone's eyes. You will be hunted forever.

Why would your claws accidentally keep popping out? That isn't how claws work. And in today's Big Brother is Watching You type society with cameras LITERALLY being everywhere I doubt Mystique's powers would be all that beneficial once it gets spotted by the right people.

Those would allow me to stay under tha radar of the public. Blending in is important else the military would hunt you to take you apart and see if they can use this knowledge for new "Soldiers".

What's the benefit of having Kitty powers?

You really are a youngster if you think it's a bad thing

There's a lot more that you didn't mention, like rapid healing actually hurting more than sustaining wounds, suffering significant memory loss if you're not used to traumatic experiences, having claws hurting all the time, even when they're sheathed... and superhuman senses would probably be the worst of it, at least on the beginning.

Originally posted by carver9

Phasing in and out of pretty much everything. You could get some confidential int about the government or others stuff and send it to the media etc.

not their looks (if we did have their looks, why would anyone choose nightcrawler?).

I'm not sure knowing what the powers are will help control them though.

Hey, if you're willing to take the gamble, by all means. I'd be too scared to though.

As someone who has lost loved ones already, I can say that it sucks, but your life does go on. I'd imagine living for 400 years would be about the same thing, might even get easier to deal with tbh.

Most people go through life without being shot or hit by cars though. Having a healing factor doesn't mean you have to go fight street gangs everyday. You could honestly just live your normal life, but with all the added perks of healing fast.

The initial experience would probably be quite painful, though. Healing factor forcing the body to get into the best shape, getting rid of all the imperfections, diseases and scars, etc. Ouch.

You had your appendix removed? Worry no longer, it's growing back!!! Forgot to mention, it'll hurt as f*cking f*ck. And that's just an example.

I have to imagine you'd get desensitized over time. Or would you not?

His senses as well. How would anyone master something like that without training from someone with similar problems and in our world, that doesn't exist.

You'd have to spend a fortune on haircuts and razors.

Fortunately, I have no imperfections and all my organs are still here.

But seriously, I'm still deciding on a power. I just didn't like the idea that a healing factor means you're suddenly being shot at 24/7. I think the Mystique pick is a decent pick. It's easy to stay hidden.

Beyond the healing factor's pain stuff, I always wondered, in the off chance you do get suffer some serious injury....then heal right in front of everyone, what happens then? Paramedics pull you from some crazy car wreck, and your wounds just disappear. Or I become a pro athlete, the temptation is too much for me, and heal a broken arm on national tv. Will people just chalk it up to a modern miracle, or will I be under some serious scrutiny? Slim chances I know, but just some stuff I was thinking over.

And eventually the government will notice there is some 250 year old man walking around still looking sexy as hell.

No imperfections that you know about, you mean. Relatively speaking, you're still an average Joe... a healing factor of Wolverine's calibre would find tons of things to fix.

Yes, as other KMCers said in other threads, there's a great chance of getting captured and experimented on... for long years or even forever.

That's why I'd start killing folks as soon as possible biscuits Better to strike first.

If so, and your powers are at full power, pick Kitty

And accidentally phase the entire Earth, or at least, a large chunk of it.

I like the way you think...

From what I understand, phasing dense materials taxes her.

Imagine if all that power was devoted to phasing something as light as......say, the atmosphere. You'd be able to phase a huge area.

The resulting vacuum would pop everyone in it's 'blast radius' like a spot.

If you have a HF you wouldn't need to have your apex removed. It would heal and work just fine. And pretty much the rest of what ou said is kinda crap put into Little Jimmy stories just to add needles melodrama to make Little Jimmy "More Interesting" because fans nowadays can't CARE about someone unless their lives are bigger steaming piles of shit then theirs are.

And boy is Little Jimmie's life a BIG PILE O STEAMING SHIT!

Wolverine's powers would be pretty fun to have, as far as Earth bound heroes go. It'd be pretty easy to monetize that shit now a days.

Your hate is weak

How is Kitty at phasing into stuff like Adamantium and Cap's shield anyways?

Is there anything so dense she can't phase into it?

Wouldn't even matter in this world but she did phase through a mile of the Breakworld bullet that is some super dense material, then she phased the entire thing as it passed through the Earth. The bullet is almost completely solid metal and about the size of Times square

About 10 miles square, iirc. Or something like that, may have be ten miles long.

Regardless, if density is what taxes her, something as light as the atmosphere would be nothing. The area would be Time Square....squared.

If the air around you was to suddenly become immaterial, the air pressure inside your lungs would burst you from the inside.

Pop pop!

That is a good point. How many on this list would not be able to survive if they suddenly found themselves IN THE REAL World?

Pop pop! It was the metal's properties that made her feel awful, some kind of nausea feeling as if she was poisoned. Nothing to do with density

Kitty never turned the air around her immaterial IIRC, since day 1 it was used to propel her as a wraith. She can't breath while phased as well. I presume the air in her lungs pre-phasing is treated like her clothes

I'm not sure how she doesn't nowadays, but she's had trouble phasing through adamantium in the past. Not that she was unable to do it, but it caused her a lot of pain when she did.
