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

[Tesh Any pronouns]

I would have the ability to travel into books at will. So, when I read a new book, i make up a person that I can be when I am bored so I can exist in that book. For example, when I go into the Cosmere, I turn into Tesh Kholin, (See, Do you have a random person in the Cosmere who you turn into when you are bored?) But I would go into books as that person. It's different for every one.

Accurate and instantaneous teleportation. Never buy gas. Go anywhere I want in an instant. Could be used for good or evil in countless ways.

Edit: or alternatively the ability to duplicate myself and reintigrate retaining both sets of memories. I could work multiple jobs, while doing everything I want to and read all the books and watch all the things I've ever wanted.

@Calderis I feel like the worker versions would end up revolting against the relaxing/ vacationing/ reading versions of you. You might want in implement a rotation schedule.

No need. I envision it as a nightly reintigration (excluding ones partaking in night time activities), with new copies going out every morning with the new memories to let I/them enjoy what we're working for.

The ability to split timelines and pick whichever one works out best, while retaining memories and being fully aware of what I'm doing in the other timeline at that moment. Never again will I be faced with a difficult decision - just pick both options, see how they turn out, then discard whichever one didn't turn out as well.So basically Coil fom Worm.

That, and I could go about and be productive in one timeline while sitting at home reading in the other.

Ability to connect to and browse the internet with my brain. Seriously, the benefits of having instant unstoppable access to all the knowledge ever should be self-explanatory. Also, no boredom ever again.

Telepathy/telekinesis. Not sure if they are the same thing or not but who wouldn't want to have Jedi/Professor X like powers?

[Djarskublar he/him]

Really powerful energy manipulation. Physics breaking manipulation in that I can retrieve energy lost to entropy and re-use it. It would make me effectively immortal, too. Any damage I take can be repaired with the right activation energy and vector manipulation (at least, I think it can, someone is free to correct me on that). Even getting hurt would be really hard, since I can remove the kinetic energy from anything that might hurt me in the first place such as a bullet or explosion. I could fly by making air push me and then bleeding off the fricative heat generated, assuming I can't just move myself. I can just boil the brains of my enemies. Fry electronics. Control communications tech completely, including amplifying wifi signals to reach me anywhere

@Briar King, telekinesis is the ability to move things with your mind and telepathy means to mentally communicate.

"mound"... I kinda mind that misspelling. It implies some strange things.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

Oops. I'll fix that.

[Shqueeves]

Given the option, I'd be the Avatar

I always blast things just to do it when I'm in a lucid dream. So fun.

[Ravian she/her]

@Shqueeves done. By far the best option.

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

*sigh

Comeone guys

Stappit with the Super"powers"

Just make people happy  

[Steeldancer he/him]

Oh gosh. Well isn't it obvious? Super-Speed. I wonder why... 

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

Lol What was I saying before.

Screw making people happy.

Give me Eidetic Memory and Omniscience anyday.

EDIT: to that previous convo ( @Tesh Kholin @Briar King); Honestly I don't like how peeps call it telekinesis, if you're speaking about the mind call it psychokinesis. They're mixed up so often it annoys me lol.

Telekinesis- Is an outdated term which means to move things from a distance, it's not associated with the mind anymore as you can do telekinesis with magnets or tractor beams etc

Psychokinesis- Means to move things with your mind specifically.

yes Psychokinesis is Telekinesis, but it psychokinesis extends to other things like metalbending, healing, EVP etc

So if you mean specifically moving things with your mind, use Psychokinesis

See them driven before you? 

[Tesh Any pronouns]

@Shqueeves Then they should call you the 'Koloss Crusher.'

Shapeshifting to any form, person or animal. There would be so many things to do with this ability. It would also be fun to just soar over the world as a peregrine falcon.

[ParadoxicalZen he/him]

Teleportation. Elemental mancery. 

Or, to praise my Queen Liliana Vess; Necromancy but White-Black/maybe Blue Aligned, or even WUBRG if you're fans of MTG

[Erunion he/him]

That's tough. 

I would use tele... errr.... psychokineses all the time. I still try to every once in a while. (You never know!  )

 

But probably the coolest and most useful power would be complete time manipulation. The ability to stop time while still functioning (with some workaround so it's not impossible to move through the suddenly stopped air and not impossible to see/etc; so that it's possible for me to interact with the environment in stopped time). Added to the ability to speed or slow time at will (like Wayne and Marasi, but much more flexible), the ability to travel back or forwards in time - to view, if not to interact (maybe make small changes to the past, but nothing huge, and the if the changes have stupid long term effects I'd just go back and undo them). 

The final part of this power is that the time slowing/stopping would automatically kick in when I'm in danger. 

Huh, I'd probably need longevity too as part of it (time spent in slowed time doesn't count towards age? Something like that). 

It would be a complicated superpower (otherwise I'd just stop time, realize I'm blind long enough to also realize that I couldn't breathe.... and if I somehow got around that I'd appear to age fast relative to everyone else).
