to be honnest, in the realms of marvel and DC comics, there must be near 100 people with super powers

Bit more than that I'd say, just check out the list of heros and villians on Marvel's site, theirs tonnes!

And even then, guys like The Punisher or Nick Fury (or, for the DC fans, Batman) can still function at that level without super powers.

Just goes to show - a big gun/fancy toy is a substitute for super powers :D

There's a US tv series coming out here in Australia that's probably been around for awhile in the US, called Heroes? It's about a bunch of people developing superhero powers, and going about doing stuff, but in a more realistic setting: ie. they think they're going mad, don't wear spandex costumes, and don't fight supervillains. But their powers are the pretty generic ones: unbreakable, fly, read minds, etc. Like MR's powers of persuasion and Bassik's painting zombie horde, how about powers you can actually use in everyday situations? For me, I'd definitely like the ability to go without sleep, that's a whole part of my life wasted being unconscious.. :P

Oh cool your got Heroes down there! That show is so awsome! It's starts up again here on the 22nd but yeah it rocks :D And some of the powers they have on it are pretty inventive, they've got the generic ones but the big bad guy of the series has this really neat power and the Chinese guy is really cool! [/hypernerd voice] :P

Doesn't stop me from trying ;)... what's a bit of insanity if you can save a good chunk of your life actually doing stuff? To date, I've slept a total of approx. 50 months for my non-kid life. that's a damn lot of time when you think about it...

@ squee: I'll be keeping an eye out for the show when it comes out, sometimes next week or so. :)

I would only want to have that power if I also got some rugged good looks to go with it.

Uhhh more rugged good looks, I mean ;) .

Hmm so many to choose from. Pyromancy (fire conjuring) has an undeniable coolness to it, but Teleportation would be very handy as well

So true, I'm a pyromaniacc and I woud love to be able to comtrol fire instead of being burned by it, (Ow my bandaged fingers)

Hum. Tough. Teleport or Flight.

Teleport is more for the sneakyness of it all. You know. Into bankvaults/armouries/GW warehouse... or just wherever you need to be.... All around, probably more useful...

But flight.... Would be so much more spectacular... And more enjoyable...

*grins* And big leathery wings would be loveley things to have...

I'd go for teleportation first, but only just.... Also, I must admit that, although I wouldn't use it for evil, per sé, I would use it for fairly selfish means, quite probably.

Then again. I could make a killing in the coriour [sp?] business... ^_^ I mean, who else could get some kidneys someone needs for transplant around the world in a second or two.... ^_^

In fact, providing I can teleport people/stuff with me, I could spend maybe half an hour down heathrow, giving people some nice fast transport worldwide, at airline prices [maybe slightly above], teleport to a nice cafe for lunch, and then teleport off home, and take the rest of the week off.

Hah. Doesn't even need to be people. Providing I'm immenseley accurate with my teleporting, I could move full cargo ships from one port to another....

There's a fair bit of money to be earned with teleportation... ^_^

Speaking of organs, the ability to instantly and easily heal, myself and others, would be my third 'power'.

I wouldnt have any use for weapon-powers like so many are suggesting. And neither do they.


*agrees strongly*

It's pureley increased mobility and 'health' powers for me.[/color]

Heroes is awesome I saw it advertised on Marvel's official site ages ago and did not look into it until yesterday then watched all the episodes (11 aproox 40 minutes long episodes) and it is seriously amazing. It really is bringing superhero stuff to the mainstream and its meant to be really quite popular in the US where its being aired. It has great special affects, some really imaginative and well worked powers, a good story line and they have not skimped on the really realistic gore which is fantastic eg the guy who cuts the tops of people heads off and leaves a huge amount of blood around the place or the regenerator who purposely badly injures herself and wakes up alittle way into the post mortem half cut open...

Superpower. Superpower. I'd have to go with the power to control the earth.
