Ask Lemmy

Either Geass from Lelouch or Makima’s control power.

One trip time travel to a specific date with no new knowledge other than the details of one specific event.

Assuming I can't have omnipotence I'm gonna go for the power to read minds when I want to. It'd be majorly helpful.

I would like to have the death note for a moment. Just to write down a few names.

Time manipulation.

Always have the best answer to a question or situation immediately at hand.

Includes questions like "what is the right username and password for this device" or "what are next weeks lottery numbers".

Anything I draw, becomes real.

Flying, no question.

The ability to force any two conscious beings to feel empathy. Like in the 2015 novel

Power to change the reality just by imagination. This will probably feel like a cheat code

I think a lot of folks who say they wish they could be invisible don't realize how horrible it'd actually be without secondary superpowers. The reason you don't currently fall over and you're able to grab what you're looking at is because you can see your own body and gain a sense of direction. But if you're invisible... how do you know where your feet are going to land exactly? How do you know how far your arm is from that book you're trying to pick up?

It'd be pretty hellish to constantly trip over yourself and not be able to balance yourself at all! This kind of caveat applies to a lot of superpowers, like super strength. Sure, you're strong enough to lift that car, but your bones and flesh aren't. They'll be crushed under the weight and you'll have a big problem, lol.

That said... superpower? I'll go with omnipotence. It's always my answer to any "if you could have X, what would it be?", omnipotence!! It's basically EVERYTHING that I could ever possibly want packed into one. Imagine the sort of life you could have. The sort of freedom. What could you do, create, see, experience, feel. I do daydream about it more than I should.

Full control over almost any common element works. Congrats you now have infinite energy and also likely flight because of it (stand on thing you control, make thing you control fly with you on it)

I've always loved the gadgeteer/super-genius trope. Iron Man, the Tinker types from Worm, Girl Genius's Sparks, etc. I always found something appealing to the idea that they can do anything eventually, but they have to work their way to it - they have to think, put in effort, adapt to pitfalls, then get an awesome payoff.

They all seem to have something they specialize in too; so for a specialty, I'll go for movement enhancements. Flight packs, powered exoskeletons, custom vehicles, etc.

For me, probably to always have the right thing to say for every situation. Doesn't have to be the truth, just so long as I can convince the other side or win an argument. It's as close as I'd get to mind control maybe without the glowy eyes and actual powers.

I would like to become Gigalomaniak, and let my delusions become reality. So basically reality warping, there are many fun things to do with such ability.

Telepathically make people shit their pants from anywhere in the world.

If you were invisible, would food matter that was inside your body but not of your body be invisible, or would it appear to float in mid air? Also, at what point would it count as processed enough to be part of you and invisible? E.g. would elements of the blood be visible; what about fecal matter? Or is the cut-off when these things pass through the ring of your mouth and sphincter?

Local area forced telepathic group chat - everyone in range can hear the surface thoughts of everyone else in range all at once

I would want to be able to switch bodies with people like in Freaky Friday, but I would want to control who and when.
