12688741, If possible, what superpower would you want? List ONLY One.
Posted by Case_One, Fri Jan-02-15 02:24 PM
I'd want to have Telepathy.

I'd be on the Super Professor X!

12688775, Can Time Travel include teleportation as well
Posted by ShinobiShaw, Fri Jan-02-15 02:45 PM
Cause it would suck to time travel into the future and the spot you were standing on has turned into a nuclear wasteland.
12688777, or travelling back in time
Posted by John Forte, Fri Jan-02-15 02:46 PM
only to have to take covered wagons to get anywhere
12688917, Exactly. Time and space should be under the same umbrella

If I want to travel back in time to watch a Roman Gladiator match I gotta travel from NY allllllll the way to Italy? Thats instant death right there. There was no Jetblue back in the day.

otherwise it would be too dangerous. You'd teleport into shit unless you could see distant places...which is a different power.

Posted by Cold Truth, Fri Jan-02-15 04:44 PM
The power to scan, “download”, and instantly master the abilities of any other person

If you ever read “The Amazing Power Of Ashure Fine” as a kid, it would pretty much be like that on steroids. I’d basically be downloading/activating all the traits of that person. So long as I could maintain some sort of database that I could access at any time, even for a finite amount of time (say….72 hours or whatever) I’d eventually be unfuckwitable at pretty much anything I wanted since I’d be essentially downloading all that person and more or less becoming them.
Sooo…start an MMA career at age 34 with no prior training? No problem. A couple of lower tiered names are accessible enough to instantly download their skill set, metabolism, conditioning, etc.

The applications are really endless. Know that one guy who can talk his way out of anything? That guy who people just seem to like, no matter what? That one dude with a psychotic work ethic you couldn’t match if you tried? You want to live like Poetx? You want game like Sunny D, ball out like Concrete Charlie, to rock a party like Rtistic, rhyme like Elzhi, make beats like Kanye? Yeah, this is the power that could make that shit happen.

Basically, it takes networking and grandma’s old rants about you being the friends you keep to insane levels. Shit, even jealousy, envy, shit like that could be used to great affect.

Obviously there would have to be an activation mechanism, such as skin-to-skin contact, so my power would be limited by people I come into contact with-or whatever that mechanism was. …Ashur fine, if I remember correctly, could simply think of someone and access their abilities for a time-but it wouldn’t take long before I was able to maneuver my way into the realm of heavy hitters.
12689772, Yo even with no catch rules this would drive you insane
Posted by Atillah Moor, Sun Jan-04-15 09:08 PM
There would be residual memory from the experience of your personality, metabolic, and even "spiritual" alignments changing. Over time you would quickly become unstable, a perpetual identity crisis would be the very least of your concerns.

Essentially, you gain the ability to never age and find a way to live forever.

Money doesn't become an issue because nothing stops me from buying the first Superman comic and then selling it in in 2004. 400,000 bitcoins in 2011 sold in 2014 amounts to over $375 mill. That's live forever money.
