What Superpower Would You Want? - Nubblies.net Forums

Ugly Bastard · 12-18-2004, 03:43 PM

If you could have any superpower what would it be? X-Ray vision? The ability to morph around the universe? The ability to fly?

I would want my superpower to be the ability to be unbelievably pursuasive. Being able to talk your way in and out of any situation you please would be incredible. I know it doesn't sound as cool as flying or whatever, but think about it, if you could talk just about anyone into just about anything, you have no limitations. I'm talking being so pursuasive that given a few minutes, you can talk a car dealer into just giving you the car on the lot that you want, etc.

That's what I'd want.

Ability to see the past.

Anything that has already happened, I can channel and witness. I'd mostly use it to witness important moments in history... but I could also use it see any concert that ever happened. Basically, if it happened, I can see it.
I'd be content with that power.

Ugly Bastard · 12-18-2004, 06:10 PM

I think the ability to see the future would be cooler, yet simultaneously scarier. I don't want to know the future though. I'd pick past over future. I'm just sayin...knowing the future would be more whack.

Wow in the past I would have answered either "travel in time" or "read peoples minds" but pursuasiveness takes the cake.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 12-18-2004, 07:37 PM

pursuation most definitely, pursuading chicks into 3somes would be the shit

AlphaMale · 12-20-2004, 01:38 AM

I would be the ultimate sex machine

I think that may already be claimed by someone else.

Saint DH · 12-25-2004, 05:20 AM

I'd take the ability to morph into anyone I come into visible contact with. You could do a lot of shit with that power.

George Sherman · 12-25-2004, 06:18 AM

this is like the age old "going around the circle after you smoke a joint" question. I'm not sure which one I would want. I guess I would want the ability to stop time at will, and have everyone but me freeze in that time, but I could still move around. You could do alot of shit with that power too.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 12-25-2004, 06:39 AM

It would be awesome to be able to projectile vomit at any time you wish. You could do a lot of shit with that power as well. I'd barf on little kids.

actually I think, moving at ten times the speed of light would be better than stopping time. Because it would be really boring because if you like had to travel while you stopped time there would be nothing to do on the way, you couldn't watch movies or listen to music or anything because to experience those things they must travel through time. You could still do all the stuff you wanted to do while stopping time plus you could do everything really fast.

It's theoriticly physicly impossible to move faster than the speed of light E=mc^2 means that the faster you move the more mass you have and the more energy is required to move that mass, and alot other stuff, but if you moved faster than the speed of light then you yourself wouldn't exist as light... check it out foryourself though

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 12-26-2004, 09:48 PM

that is why it is a superpower

I found it kind of odd that I click this post, and the FIRST post is damn near the exact same thing that I was going to post.

This has always been my answer to this question ever since about middle school.

AlphaMale · 12-28-2004, 03:37 AM

with practice you can convince anybody to do anything(as long as it's something that's humanly possible)... so that wouldn't actually be a huge stretch

Maybe they want to do something not humanly possible and that is why they want that power.

AlphaMale · 12-28-2004, 02:23 PM

convincing people to do things is humanly possible, you just have to make them think that it will be for their own good, even though it is really something that will benefit you

He was saying what if that "something" wasn't humanly possible.

Zanny · 01-02-2005, 12:26 AM

I would want the ability to kill people by looking at them, which totally beats persuasivness.

George Sherman · 01-02-2005, 12:44 AM

what?

01-02-2005, 04:24 AM

How about the ability to know exactly what the outcomes of your actions would be?

I think this would be the best.

With persuasiveness, you could still fuck up through bad judgement, but to always know for certain the outcomes of your actions (which would implicetly include forknowledge of events which you could then take advantage of).

With this superpower, you would have the ability of passing through life with as little or as much notoriety as you wished.

ninjaface · 01-02-2005, 05:45 AM

yes. You would be the master of the stock market.
