    Pink Grin I can fly!

    I wish I could teleport. Get out of bed 20 minutes before I had to start work, get ready, teleport there. In need of a bit of sun? Teleport to a hot country for the day. Visiting friends and family who don't live close by? Be there in a jiffy!

    I want to be able to teleport other people with me, though.

    If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?

    It's going to sound like I'm copying you but...

    Teleportation. It would make my life easier.

    Me version one: Corporeal Mitosis (my scientific term for characters like Multiple Man), multiple mes roaming around the world living multiple lives all with the same motivations and personality but being able to rely upon my "clones" to help me with problems my friends and family... just can't.

    Me version two: Shapeshifting Level 1 (duplicating other humanoids in appearance), how convenient would it be to be able to disguise yourself as anyone at any time? You can mix and match features so that you never end up stealing anyone's identity. Even if you're ever caught and exposed as a shapeshifter, if you escape, it's not like you'll be found again unless they "chip" you.

    Me version three: Shapeshifting Level 2 (duplication plus the ability to exponentially decrease/increase size and acquire inhuman appendages), I've always had a fascination with animals like wolves and cougars, but why stop at normal when you can transform into a chimera?

    Me version four: Flight (duh), there is no such thing as flight without some form of propulsion such as wings or jets, having a rocket pack would not count as a superpower but being a robot with jets built in could be interpreted thus.

    Me version five: Telekinesis (also duh), other than being able to lift objects without touching them, this would allow me a semblance of flight and enhanced strength.

    Me version six: Teleportation (I wonder if there's a better word for that? ...INSTANT TRANSMISSION! lol)... Jumper... that is all.

    Alternative: Immortality... then I could figure out the rest later. I'm probably one of the few people who doesn't think they'd get bored of life after a few hundred million years. The only downside to immortality is the potential of becoming restrained/trapped in one place. That's when life can get boring to the point of insanity... but I'm pretty sure the resulting insanity would be pretty entertaining in and of itself. Like Paradox on Ben10.

    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    In order of preference, Immortality, Time and Space Travel, Teleportation, Shapeshifting, Invisibility, Telekenisis

    I know most people wouldnt want immortality but I could have all the time in the world to build a spaceship with cryogenic chamber and travel amongst the stars.

    Though it would be easier if I had Immortality and Teleportation.

    I'd use my Shapeshifting powers to be really hot and make some awesome porn then feel no shame because no one will know it was me

    Have a nice day!!

    Ooh! I forgot those. Yes. I would like to be able to go invis'd and raise a little mischief. You could pretty much do all the same things you could do as a shapeshifter except that you'd know you'd never get caught.

    And time travel... well, I mostly want it because I dislike my past. So far, I have not experienced much good that can counter the weight of regret I carry. Of course, I could also travel to the future and find out if and whom I marry so I can hurry up and get to the wooing.

    Immortality is a curse, not a superpower, Nuke.

    My top 5 would be:

    Teleportation
    Telepathy
    Shapeshifting
    Invisibility
    Telekinesis

    You can force yourself to forget things. Some of the simplest tasks a mind can perform are in deceiving its own perception.

    Actually I think I'd prefer shapeshifting before Teleportation if it means I can "shapeshift" myself into youth and achieve agelessness

    Pretty sure that'd be an illusion. No matter how unchanging you appeared on the outside, you'd likely be dying on the inside.

    I would get a job at a Gamestation, teleport into the stockroom in the middle of the night and relieve them of all their consoles and games.
