IMAGINE

Imagine you could have any power you want but after choosing the one power you also get its ugly side effects.... Like you choose to fly but you become blind. what good would it be. you could be super strong but it would make you slower than any creature alive. what would be a good combination that you can figure out how to make it worth the bad side to choose the power.

How about the ability to speak every single language in the universe, and be Helen Keller?

I am NOT going to hell for that.

i think i would want the power of constantly being on fire though i couldn touch thigs i wantd o sleep from the bright ligh but i could do some neat stuff

This causes me to think of the tale of the king that was granted the power to touch anything and have it turn to gold. He soon touched his daughter and she was instantly made to become gold.

It could have been a fable myth of some sort.

EDIT: Yes, it would appear to have been King Midas, Iri. There are variations in the tale (most notably that he sometimes has a son instead of a daughter, or no offspring to speak of), but the tale of King Midas is indeed the tale I was speaking of.

Err, King Midas?

I would want the power to talk to animals. But then I would have to listen to them go on and on about their problems.

Stupid emo monkeys.

I would want to be able to speak every language ever, and math and music count as languages. Totally. That would RULE. I would be a princess too.

But then I would get Hepatitis C. :(

I become an administrator at a semi-popular video game forum, but then no one takes me seriously.

the power to empathize...but then be me and not actually care

Teleportation.

The bad side is.. uh... there is no bad side. I can freaking teleport!

Okay, so maybe I become blue and have a tail. So what. I can freaking teleport!

What if you teleported into the middle of something and got stuck? WHAT IF YOU WERE A BUNNYTABLE FOREVER?!

Who cares. I can freaking teleport!
