Just make the the founding member of the Q Continuum. I’ll fuck off and leave humans alone.
Honestly this is a pretty good one. It’s basically the “any technology of sufficient complexity is indistinguishable from magic” answer. The Q Continuum were a weird mix of magic/super powers, and even demonstrated the ability to gift those abilities to others at will.
It was just one line but I loved when someone told Q that he was a trickster god to a planet from how much he messed with them in the past.
The implications of that. Ok, without the Marvel movies I highly doubt even 10% of the human race knows what Loki is about. Q was the trickster god for an entire planet. Billions of people knew the legend of Q. He must have been doing stuff to them for thousands of years all across their society. Take the most well known people in history there is still a big possibility that most people hadn’t heard of them a century or so ago.
Q was bigger to them than Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, the Emperors of China, the Monarch of the UK, Plato, and Santa combined to this species.
Simple, I choose EveryMan’s superpower from The Simpsons
Use 100% of my human brain capacity, instead of this stupid 2% that we have now
Seizureman
Magic mushrooms. You’ll understand why you gotta cool down.
So your superpower is Epilepsy?
No it’s more like Omnipresence … 😭😭
Yea thats not how it works.
I know, the movie Lucy was based on pseudoscience…
Probability manipulation can make anything happen. That’s the strongest one. Although ofc big risk of tearing up the fabric of reality by messing with small forces probability and just destroying everything by accident.
“The Force”.
Pick things up with my mind? Super speed? Super jumps? Jedi mind tricks? Premonitions? Force Conference Calls? Lightning? Chokes? Healing? Die and come back as a ghost?
I wonder if Han ever choked Leia…
Are you the only force ghost in existence though? That would get rather lonely, especially over the course of eternity.
Force Ghosts get to interact with people though!
Can I get hit by a truck and go to a better reality? The bar is set pretty low.
Geass from Lelouch.
Dr. Strange.
id choose super speed,
the kind where you also change your perception of time and everything just seems to slow down compared to you.as long as i can change that speed, and am not stuck percieving everything at a crawl.
Time control. I think it’s the most powerful one.
Spatial/Dimensional magic from most things that have spatial magic in them. It gives you the ability to teleport, create portals, create/use your own inventory, and even teleport to other worlds.
Legit, in the real world, wolverine’s healing factor is the most useful. Other stuff is about tricks. His kind of healing means no cancer, no Alzheimer’s, no strokes, no heart attacks, nada. A long, healthy life free of disease of almost any kind.
The only drawback is the semi-immortality. A long life watching others die would suck hard. It’s already bad enough with a regular life span.
I should re-watch Logan
I can’t wait for Deadpool and Wolverine, from the previews this Wolverine is in a similar headspace as Logan Wolverine.
The ability to see and manipulate emf.
One single superpower, or a suite of powers that exists within a single character?
Assuming that we’re talking conventional media (e.g., not religion), and we’re talking about powers that exist within a single character, I’d probably take the powers of a witcher, from Sapkowski’s novels. They’re not immortal, but they live multiple times longer than a normal human. They’re not invulnerable, but they’re able to take more physical abuse and heal than any normal person. They’re able to use magic in a limited way. They move faster and are stronger than humans. So they’re not so far outside of humanity that they can’t still blend in with and appreciate humanity.
I feel like most other super powers would quickly lead to intense alienation, because you’d be so far outside of the normal human experience that you’d lose the ability to empathize.
I can’t think of a fictional character that has this, but the ability to know, and convey the answer to ANY question.
John Doe from the John Doe TV series.
Warning, it only lasted one season and was cancelled. But the premise is about a guy who wakes up naked and doesn’t remember anything about him, but he knows everything about everything else.
Wow. I forgot ball about this show. I loved it and was bummed it got cancelled.
