OBLIC'S PROFILE

I would bet a ton of money (if I had any) that a topic similar to, if not exactly, like this already exists, but I couldn't find anything within the past few pages.

This is a discussion I have had man times with my friends, and there is always some sort of disagreement. I don't really understand from where the disagreement comes, since we're talking about something completely fantastical, but when guys talk, a lot of the conversations boil down to a simple pissing contest. Anyway, the question I'm curious about is...

If you could have any super power (predefined or completely imagined), what would it be and why?

I usually like to make the stipulation that you can't use it for personal gain (more or less can't use it to steal stuff), but that may stifle some of the "why" responses. Plus, what's the point of having a super power if you can't get at least SOMETHING out of it? Also, I have come up with 3 that I can't really fully decide upon, so you don't really have to limit yourself to the "favorite".

First, I would love be able to become invisible at will. There is so much you could do with this! You would easily become the best thief in the world, even if you have considerably less talent than someone that can't make themselves invisible. You could also (jokingly, but not really!) go into the girls locker-room anytime you wanted! The only downside that I can think of is that you may get cocky and forget that you still give off heat, making you vulnerable to infra-red sensors.

Second, I wouldn't mind having Wolverine's super fast regenerative abilities. You could go into the gym with a big bottle of protein pills and lift endlessly and completely freak out those around you as you get ridiculously huge in a matter of minutes! That, and take a bullet to the face and live to tell about it while still having a face. The two biggest downsides are outliving everyone you know and being hunted to be subject to experiments.

Finally (and probably my favorite), would be to have the ability to fly. I have always enjoyed the feeling of flying/falling. The weird thing is, I have a mild fear of heights. I think being able to control the fall would nullify that fear, knowing that there really is no danger of getting hurt in the fall. I also couldn't think f any downside other than the scientific experiment thing again.

Sorry if mine were overly boring or predictable, but that's what I've got. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

Yep, I always chill out next to large piles of giblets. Soothes the body and soul!

Oh, kentona, where would RMN be without thee? I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said! Great article! Both very informative and enjoyable!
