If you could have one realistic super power, what would it be? - General

Exceptional abilities, intuition and things along those lines as fine. Try not to be vague, something such as "exception agility" is boring. Something like "Parkour master" instead. I'd probably choose the power of being able to draw with absolutely now flaws, in whatever i can picture in my minds eye, in record times.

i would be a pretty princess

Having a voice everyone would enjoy listing to.

This thread is an oxymoron.

the ability to learn to play an instrument instantly, the moment I lay my hands on it. how cool would it be to casually sit at a piano at someone's house, or at a party and play a perfect Chopin arrangement leaving everyone speachless.

Probably an extremely vivid imagination that I have complete self control over, so that I only imagine what I want to imagine. Also dream control.

Realistic.. Mmmm. I think I'd have the ability to become a master with whatever I touch

Immortality. Preferably without the whole getting old and arthritic and alzheimer's and shit. I want to see how much mankind progresses in the years to come Who cares about outliving all my friends, I'll just make new ones [i]in the FUTURE[/i]

[QUOTE=Yahnich;41053263]the power to have lucid dreams that can last for as long as i want them to last, without having to sleep more than 8 hours[/QUOTE] Hehe. I have this.

Being able to play guitar faster and more accurately than John Petrucci. Wait, you said realistic, nevermind.

To learn any skill or language just by observing.

The cababilities of a riduculously masterful engineer. Think Tony Stark minus the phlebotinum. A biologically feasible pair of wings, proportionally sized with working musculature and flight would be awesome; although the energy it'd use take to use them would be ludicrous.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;41046995]The ability for my code to compile first time without any errors.[/QUOTE] The thread title said "realistic".

The ability to just be naturally good at anything I try.

Time control

Mind control would be nice.

The ability to draw [b]anything[/b] great, at any art style, with any color palettes.

Ability to do [B]anything[/B].

I think I'll trade my previous one for "perfect artistic talent in both visual art and music". That would be much more relevant to my career.

I'd choose the ability to be able to hum at the vibrational frequency of any object I like, which would give me the ability to manipulate their atoms in any way I wished. Water to wine? Lead to gold? Bulletproof glass to sand? Just hum a tune!

turn into steve buscemi at will the possibilities are endless

A realistic superpower is pretty much contradictio in terminis.

Immortality without aging or degrading like stated by Samiam22. [QUOTE=PulpedFiction;41061557]Wouldn't seeing your friends die over and over again start to weigh on your heart?[/QUOTE] What does that mean? Like you would get overly depressed/burdened by losing something you care about repeatedly? If so, while it may sound cold, I would think simple acceptance of the natural way of things would prevent you from from being "weighed" by such events. It has to happen.

To have super strength.

It has to happen.[/QUOTE] There's some truth to what you're saying. I'm looking at the topic from a very much death oriented viewpoint. A better way of looking at it, like you said, is accepting that eventually all paths branch away from each other and we should just enjoy the time we have travelling through life and experiencing it's many adventures together. Immortality doesn't sound so bad when you look at it like that.

Being able to not find a methlab at almost every abandoned place i visit

The ability to concentrate.

common sense

The ability to turn flat coke back fizzy again with sheer force of will.

I would be externally charismatic, so i could get away with anything, and bang any chick I want to.
