We have all seen men hurtling through the sky, lifting buses like it was the morning paper and have reflexes like everything was in x10 slow motion in film and TV but are there any original superpowers that you think would be awesome that haven't hit the L.A. writers yet?
I think it could be cool if someone had the power to reform parts of their body into ice. Imagine someones arm out stretched, the arm would turn into a transparent watery state for a second as it reforms into....lets say a sword then goes back into a solid hard ice state. Another example, they are about to hit the ground from a huge drop they turn into water, hit the ground and reform as an ice version of themselves and then go human. I guess now I type it out it kind of sounds like sandman but the physics and fighting style would be different as ice can go through people bodies and cut them.
Anyway, I'm sure this has crossed many of your minds before "if I had a superpower" type thing.
Any original powers you can think of?
Being able to rearrange the countries?
My friend said that if he ever had superpowers he'd want the ability to cause cutlery to disappear. Just to really annoy people in fancy restaurants.
I guess it could help if the guy you were up against had a knife or something as well.
The ability to pull out the exact amount of money you need from your pocket.

"it seems you have brought a knife to a gun fight....wait...you didn't even bring a knife"
To have multiple orgasms (as a man, of course)
All the powers and abilities of Carl Sagan? :v:
The power to have the same body mass as inside water everywhere. Imagine that. You're falling off a cliff then suddenly you start falling at the rate of a feather. You can even swim back to the top. Of course flying would be better. Also the ability to stop time and [b]not[/b] age. So you can stop time for like 10 years but still look the same. Shit if the person with the ability have enough patience that would make for a funny as shit show!
I've seen a guy once in some movie who could control his own body mass and cellular density shit, being able to turn his own body into either smoke, water, diamond or whatever he wants.
But a super power I really would like to have is simply being indestructible. You could jump from the highest building in the world and land on your back, the only thing who would break is the concrete in an all mighty shockwave.
Just like in prototype.
And yet a bullet damages him.
The power of LOVE.
The ability to transmit internet memes directly into the brains of humans. Had I that power, I could incapacitate enemies by forcing Never Gonna Give You Up directly into their heads, and overlaying their vision with the music video. Or even worse, forcing goatse permanently into their memories with a mere psychic imprint.
Oh yeah, i'd be truly sadistic with that power.
Complete control over time would be cool, and the "hero" should just go around feeling people up and robbing them when time is freezed instead of stopping terrorists or some shit
Same powers as Cole in Infamous.
Grindrailing through NY would be kickass.
The power to grow your hair really fast as a useless one and the power to control gravity for an awesome one.
Limited shapeshifting. You know, so that you can change form, but never add on or remove mass. That way, you would shift into, say, an ant. In your small form, you would have an ant's amount of volume, but a human's amount of mass, making you extremely dense (possibly even give you a force of gravity). That way, you could get hired as a hitman, you'd get into your target's home, change into something small, and then crush the guy's skull by standing on his head.

That's why Prototype's so weird by the way. You can survive high falls, run into cars, being crushed by a tank, destroy entire buildings with your only strength, but some rockets and a machinegun can put you down...
The very best power would simply be to never die. Whatever you do, even if you fall in a lava pit or get covered by bullets, you just come back in a single piece, ready to rock again.
This + indestructibility = best life ever.

If you turned into an ant you would also have to have the power to be immensely strong, in order to counter the weight on your feeble ant legs.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddd power idea, if you were never able to die then you would see all of the people you loved die, and eventually just get ultimately bored, eventually you would see the end of the earth, and all life cease to exist except you, as the earth turns into another Mars. after the earth died and something hit it and it blew up (it would happen at some point) you would just be floating in space, forever, but by that time i'm pretty sure you've wished you would've died a long time ago.
Also, about invincibility, have you ever fallen asleep on your arm and woken up and you couldn't move it or feel anything in that arm? That is what invincibility would feel like minus the tingling. you would be like a rock, not feeling anything, still emotions, but faint, and nothing to be afraid of, without being afraid of something, that is like taking away a sense, without one, the other ones kind of fall out of place.
My favorite power would have to be "Stop time, no aging." I can't see any consequences for that one.
Meh, it's all about your own way to see life.
I wouldn't mind being invincible, there are so much things to do on earth I would probably never run out of ideas (first I would jump from every highest buildings in the world, then run around the world without feeling not even once tired, go into a warzone and have some fun with weapons...)
Also, you can still be afraid of death assuming you still feel pain, and if you actually know what happens after death and if that's a freakin' horrible place.
And you can see the time pass before the sun will blow the shit out of everything, and given the fact you'll resist it, you'll have the biggest opportunity to meditate about life and shit. This, plus the explosion which would propel you at an incredible speed, and if you don't feel the need of breathing, eating or even sleeping, you will probably collide and enter into another planet's atmosphere.
You know what, the best would be ULTIMATE ETERNITY.
You don't have any need of breathing, eating, sleeping, etc.
You can still feel pain but every single thing in the universe cannot hurt you, which means the only kind of pain you will feel is violent shock.
You are eternal, you are born someday but you will never die.
You have the ability to quit any possible planet's atmosphere and travel in space with perfect ease.
In fact, the perfect power for me is to be Dr. Manhattan, with some points changed (physical appearance probably, no lack of emotions, no instant travel and shapeshifting, but with still the ability to create any kind of matter).
I would first live a good life on earth, then will get bored or assist its destruction and decide to go away, going from planets to planets, watching life develop and new civilizations far away from our own destroyed planet.
A slow paced, relaxed and very mind based kind of life, but I'd really like it. And if I could create every possible mass, I'd just create life on a good planet and watch it develop.
I'd take
Immortality
Time Manipulation
Electromagnetism/Electrical Manipulation
control the dead, army of corpses

Dr Manhattan, more or less.
The ability to predict your opponent's moves, and know exactly how to counter that move. Dodging bullets, beating the shit out of even the toughest expert in combat. And knowing the outcome of any fight or situation before it even happens.
To be able to see Time.

For the record, the Time sucked ASS
A depressing movie where the protagonist can forsee 20 seconds into the future at his whim, his mother dies in his vision, before he has time to save her.
[editline]07:48PM[/editline]
Or a movie where a man LIVES 20 seconds in the future
no one can see him but he is there
The ability to posses people would be fuckin awesome.
The ability to manipulate any kind of energy. You can absorb energy into your body and store it for later use.
Bullets will touch you and just drop to the floor and you can release the energy as shockwaves or projectiles or even powering up yourself with speed and strength.
I want the mutant healing of Wolverine + not feeling pain and the regeneration would take longer, but I'd still die of old age. Being immortal and living forever would suck dick. I just want to scare the living crap out of someone by ripping my own face off.
Another one would be spawning different creatures, fantasy and real life. I would call upon an army of flesh-eating locusts upon my enemies.
The ability to do the Heavy's tauntkill and actually shoot bullets of whatever caliber you want out of your fingers while doing so.
Sure, you could get shot back at, but imagine how many people you could take out while technically being unarmed. You could save the say if terrorists hijack the plane you're on.
Seriously, what's [I]not[/I] to like about this superpower? You just make your hands into the gun shape and say "pow" and shoot a real bullet.
