PIck a Super-Power

Post Reply New Topic

PIck a super-power and then explain how it could backfire on you in the real world. For example, my chosen ability to shoot lightning from my fingertips could be a problem if any external source of electrical power were to draw it out of me against my will.

X-ray vision--it could cause cancer, and people might see my, you know.

This assumes you have control over your super-ability.

If I could turn invisible, I might not be able to see myself when I do it. I mean, who says invisible people are visible to themselves?

Psychometry - I'd spend the rest of my life being completely grossed out by where everything has been.

Invisibility, well I have that right now, sicken or kill people with poison gas, no got that one too

I would like to either: fly,have invisibility, or move objects with my mind!

Omniscience.

Benefits: I would know the solution to every problem and the answer to every question.

Drawbacks: I would know what people really think of me.

The ability to control electricity
Backfire: Even with electrical resistance, being hit with a bolt of lightning would still hurt. And shorting out/exploding electrical devices would have a very big downside.

I know. That's why I said 0R. I can't decide!

chronoshifting (stopping time to transport to another area instantaneously), time traveling and firebending (Azula level: blue flames and lightning)

I would like to fly. The drawback could be due to the fact I get lost easily. Although, maps could prove to be quite useful with an aerial view, but then again; I could not see the street signs from up there. Yeah. I can see myself flying around in circles trying to find my destination...kind of like I drive. Sure would save on gas money though...
