Your power of choice!

Shadowcat. It's the other kind of invulnerability. I guess I would have to have my own X-name :p. . . Helium! I could make people think I'm a ghost, or go pester politicians to get them to do the right thing. Yeah, shadowcat's power plus a deep understanding of psycology so I can mess with bad people just right. I could also go negotiate with dangerous people... gotta sleep
 
I would want to ability to heal other people's physical and mental ailments without cost (physical, mental, spiritual, whatever) to myself or other people or the planet or the universe or anything (no side effects--none) and without anyone knowing I was doing it (so people aren't tempted to enslave me or threaten me or bribe me or kill me).

Yes, I'm trying to close all the loopholes so that the wish doesn't go awry like it always does in fairy tales . . .

If that power isn't available, then I want the ability to teleport, taking any object(s) of any size or composition with me--again, without side effects, and without anyone knowing I could do this.

I figure that this sort of teleportation would allow the semblance of other powers: a series of extremely short teleport jumps would be equivalent to flying, and being able to take any object of any size or composition with me would be like superstrength.
 
I would like to be able to be invisable and the abliaty to change peoples moods or feeling to make them more positive would be a nice gift if you could getit
 
My Power of Choice:

1. Flight, with the stipulation that I get wings and better eyesight.

2. To be able to send myself into computers and everything thereof, like Harper on Andromeda.

I've never heard about this in any film or comic, but the ability to speak/write/read/comprehend (and imitate) all possible human languages, dialects, manners of speaking, etc. fluently would be my #1 choice.

Actually in the YA series Mindwarp one of the characters has the speaking and comprehending portion of that power, except its ANY and ALL languages. He has spoken to spiders, termites, a fax machine, and video games.
 
When I'm hungry I'd quite like the power to command all biscuits.
 
ok

so first power : healing in most of its meaning

second : total awareness and total power of the mind ( you don't have to look for things you can "feel" where they are, you can use your mind to bound with animals and all, maybe even being able to control them a little, with a little effect or two on humans too, not too big, I'd abuse it heavily:eek: )

third: druid of air- control the wind, levitation, powerfull airblasts, protective airshields

fourth : have a demon for you can shift in anytime you want, with great strength and mind ...

and a fifth to fill in in case of need:cool:
 
Hmm.... this one is tough.

I would have to agree with a previous poster that I would want to understand the human mind. The full extent of how the mind works... and also have the ability for telepathy.

Also in "Wheel of Time" the ability for "Compulsion" but thats my evil side of me. Having complete control over someone of power...

The good and fruity side in me would want to be "Luna" from "Legend"

"What care I for human hearts? Soft and spiritless as porridge! A fairy's heart beats fierce and free!
 
Personaly, I'd go for a set of Wolverine's adamantium claws. The nose-picking possibilites are endless...

Either that or telekenesis, so that I didn't have to get up out of the chair to get the $"*@ing remote for the TV.
 
i wont the abilaty to shut out the sound of teenagers till there oh passed twenty that would do i nicely i think

Hey, that's cheating :p

You've gotta have all your powers before the climax. So goes the rules of storytelling. Everybody knows that ;)
 
The telekinthesis to call in the remote leads me to a simpler power; convert myself into a universal electronic remote control. Not just changing channels on the TV, but winding the lights up and down in the studio, typing into the computer without these keykboard thingies, but I could get that guy whose car goes "BOOM BOOM" as it passes me.
"Not much of a superpower" you're saying; well, perhaps not, but it suits me. Persuade the autopilot to take the plane where I want to go, persuade the cash machine my name is Rothschild, Crash an F18 (it relies entirely on its electronics to fly) and turn off the music in whichever part of the supermarket I find myself. Reroute telephone calls between telemarketers (so they're always talking to each other. Render unusable the launching system for ICBMs, while reducing military communications worldwide to semaphore flags and shouting. Interupting party politicl broadcasts with reruns of Fawlty Towers (as if anyone would notice the difference. Changing the traffic lights when a school crocodile wanted to cross.
Where's my "massively evil" smiley?;)

As regards the shape changing: was that five including my present body, or five supplementary.
I've chosen a giant squid for aquatic use (manipulative ability and nothing much messes with you)
an ant hill for flexibility and a change of viewpoint
a grey parrot for flight
a siamese cat for lifestyle, working hours and generally organising other people to do things
and, if I still have one left, an equine, probably a shetland poney, for the ladies.
I already have the gift of empathy with machines; now, if I could only extend that to cover computers…

is the equine bit for the rideing

i would like to:
1. beable to see physical aspects of space and time like wind and breazes (like wearing thermal gogles on a computer game
2. not need to interact physicaly with the world (no need for sleep, food or exercise) & behave like a ghost with mental comunication skills.
3. be the ultimate well of knoledge

Would like to be able to understand the music of the spheres as it were. The song that the sun sings when it rises and sets and what the wind says to the trees and the ocean to the sands as well as the language of the beasts.

Would also like to be able to read and understand all that is in a book by simply touching the book or flipping through the pages.
 
Gambit's powers for me please! He can make stuff go KABOOM! Just by touching it! Cool . . .
Telekenisis would be ace too, but only cos I'm so lazy!!
Also, yeah Matrix-style kung fu knowledge. I'm already a blue belt in Wado Ryu Karate so nearly there?! Maybe not yet!
 
I'd pretty much go with being Rouge. I touch you and absorb your power to use it against you. That's pretty good to be honest!
