    I'd look like Billy Connelly, but obviously a centaur. I would have the Silver Surfers board and flying powers. Upon my arrival, I would immediately attempt to destroy the universe by majestically Silver-Surfer-Centaur-Billy-Connelly-ing as many people as possible in the face before the universe ultimately, and inevitably, collapsed in on itself.

    It would be magnificent.

    I think I would continue to look like myself, in centaur form, because I would get really confused by looking into the mirror and seeing something else. Possibly to the point that I would be startled, accidentally trout the floor and kick the mirror over when my horsebrain took over in a fight or flight fear response. When I traveled back in time, it would be 2003 Italy so I could immediately go find the place where cloning on Prometea was done, hide in her paddock and freak some poor souls right the smurf out.

    Since my super-powers would be superspeed a la "The Flash" and I have infinity money with which I could buy my way into competition as a racehorse and jockey, I would spend the rest of eternity winning the Triple Crown.

    Oh, and my personal item would be a lucky horse shoe, because smurf you this is a great thought experiment.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    To be fair, if you're a centaur, you're probably troutting on the floor anyways.

    That being said Bleys, I wouldn't smurf a celebrity, even if I could, being a centaur with a massive horses member I would presently find yourself, and teach you exactly why this thread was a bad idea.

    Hell, I don't care if I had to be a centaur, I want to be a female centaur and I'll spend my time on the computer and flirt with myself online, to improve his self esteem. Of course, I want shape-shifting powers, so I can change my appearance, maybe only for a specific amount of time? Like, maybe like for an hour, so I can do things while looking like a normal person for awhile. I wouldn't want people to go "OH smurf, THERE'S A FEMALE CENTAUR! DO WE KILL IT?!"

    Edit: I'll come up with answers for the other questions. :U

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Don't bother, you just destroyed the universe by interacting with your former self.

    I don't think Centaurs existed in 1999.

    I'd say at least I decided to do the right thing, I'm sure everyone else would agree with me that the universe not existing from 2003 onwards but knowing that you got rodgered by a horse is frankly a fair trade off.

    :monster:

    If I had to relive the time from when I was 18 I'd probably want to destroy the universe, even if I were a centaur.

    What about this, mister.
    I am a centaur, look like a centaur, and my super power is a form of hypnosis/mind control that is strong enough to make people think I am not a centaur.
    everything is wrapped in gray
    i'm focusing on your image
    can you hear me in the void?
