What special ability would you choose?

reading minds

The ability to get whatever I want in the blink of an eye.

I like invisibility, mind-reading and flying, and I lean more towards invisibility.

Complete power over matter, space, and time.

I always wished I had the ability to read minds too but I also dreamed of being able to move things without touching them, I guess it’s kinda like the Telekinesis thing but what I mean is being born with the ability

I like Rogue’s ability to absorb others powers ^^ I’d go for that but without a limit of time, when I absorb it I get to keep it for me for as long time as I feel like it. I guess at some point I’d become really powerful ^^

An event over the weekend reminded me that, in rare occasions, it seems I do have a special ability; the ability to put my arms around someone and for a moment make everything that’s wrong in their world right. For now, I think I’ll stick with that.

Grow beautiful hair on my head. Really.

The abiltiy to grow new organs as I get older. Then I don’t have to worry about them breaking down on me.
Now as a supper power. The ability to heal love ones.

The ability to recover almost instantly from any injury, no matter how gruesome.
Consumption or a transfusion of my blood cures any disease, no matter your blood type.

I want to be I Dream of Genie.

I’d like to be a werewolf like Captain Hans Gunsche in Hellsing

Or something similar to the energy absorbing and releasing powers of Sebastian Shaw but capable of even consuming stars.

But I could definitely settle for some C ranked power like simple telepathy or Photographic Reflexes… especially Photographic Reflexes.

No-hassle teleportation that’s as straightforward as that, but also leaves room for development. Like no-hassle teleportation of objects, possibly at range. And can I replicate things? And so on.

If I were worried about balancing the awesome with the lousy, I’d want the ability to be anywhere (habitable) other than where I was after making, say, two turns. Being chased? Round a couple of corners with the intent of getting away and poof! You’re in Tibet! Without a visa! Your life has suddenly become quite interesting!

Teleporting. I hate the fact that it takes me an hour to make a 4 mile commute to work. Or that it costs me £100 to make a 200 mile rail journey.

Yeah, I’m in the teleport camp. I’d like that a lot.

I’d like to be Bewitched. This would encompass all possibilities from invisibility to mind reading to teleportation to twitching up whatever you wanted.

@Coloma great minds think alike. tehehe

@Coloma If I can pick a set like that, I’d go with Shendu’s powers from Jackie Chan Adventures.
He (originally) had 12 powers; telekinesis, invisibility, healing and motion to the motionless to name a few.

I would like the ability to fly.

Teleportation!

@Hibernate I think the power you want is more like Peter Petrelli from Heroes. I like Rouge’s power to but I think i’d prefer teleporting but anywhere regardless the distance like in the movie Jumper. Pick a destination look at a picture and bam Italy, Egypt, Spain etc…...

I’d want to freeze time for short intervals.

Food Vision? :)

How has no one said The Jedi Mind Trick? Instant coercion of the weak-minded. I’d never have to work or pay for anything again, unless I meet someone remarkably strong-willed.

Predict the outcome of a flip of a coin. Seems simple, but I could make millions off of that.

I would like to be able to talk to animals. I’m sure they would have some interesting things to say.

Either reading minds or being able to render myself invisible whenever I wanted.

@noservice That’s awfully unethical. Part of the Jedi training is about keeping the trainee from abusing his powers like that. You have just demonstrated why.

@Nullo Well, I never exactly said I’d abide by the tenants of the Jedi…

That being said, this is entirely based on fantasy. I’m sure (at least I tell myself) that if I really did have said powers, I’d try to use them with a bit more discretion. Still, coercion of the mind is a powerful ability to have. Considering how much of life is spent persuading others, you could change your life dramatically knowing that you’d never lose an argument.

@kaywizard since I don’t watch Heroes I had to rely on Rogue from X-man ^^ And I had to explain I want that power permanently because she just absorbs another person power for a few minutes/hours only.

The ability to soar on the wing & then crap a giant turd onto the heads of bald men & small children ;¬}

Control the stock market.

@noservice If KOTOR is any indicator, the Jedi hunt down and kill people like that. :D
And you forget that it only works on the weak-minded. We’re never given a metric for weak-mindedness, nor a rating system, but they aren’t that common. The Mind Trick only works on two occasions in the movies – first with a bored stormtrooper, second with a guy who was very probably stoned.

The power of glamour, like vampires have.
