Ask Lemmy

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

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.

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.

By now? To have peace of mind.

is reality and dimensional warping, plus other various abilities associated with it.

It's not flashy (i.e. for a comicbook) but my superpower would be eternal health. The constant death/birth cycle is like resetting the population's knowledge every 75 years.

Being able to manipulate time in any way I like: make time go faster, slower, backwards and stopping time. Even time travel, though that's arguably a different superpower, but IMO it still falls under manipulating time.

Premonition.

Flying

Sorry to take this to a dark place, but I'd have to say the ability to cause people to die in a way of my choosing, just by thinking it.

Why would you want to be invisible? Is there any non-creepy use case?

Being able to fly.

Assuming it's generally not too OP powers, shapeshifting for sure.

Immortality, I'll get around to whatever I need to eventually.

In order of preference:

The ability to travel through time (and change things) as I wish, and to also have a basic understanding the way those changes will impact the (relative to the time I am currently in) future. None of that "Earth's in the wrong place, you die in the vacuum of space" bullshit.

The ability to bring people back from the dead and have them be healthy and happy

Shape shifting

I don't think I can ask for immortality or close to it since I already had kids, so I would like a magic purse - the ability to pull whatever I need out of a pocket universe and store whatever I need there. Or if I can't have the stuff, then to be able to create space where it doesn't exist at least, to store things in and pull them out. I would probably use it for crime, yes. But also just so much easier if I can always only get what I am reaching for, but don't have to organize or store it IRL. Like having stuff without having stuff.

I'll take time control. Stop time or slow it so much it might as well be stopped.

You might want to clarify that invisibility power. If you're only invisible to visible light, you'll be kind of annoyed later when you're setting off IR motion detectors and showing up on IR cameras. Also, if you're invisible to the whole EM spectrum you'll be immune to dangerous radiation.

The ability to create black holes. Just wanna fuck around and find out.

Depends on what's available. Regeneration would probably be it. Wouldn't say no to something stronger though.

...why do you want to be invisible? Most of the time, you can put on business casual, smile and wave and you will vanish in plain sight. Or a construction helmet and reflective vest and a clipboard.

To fly, be a speedster or teleport would be cool, you know to spend the weekend somewhere else and enjoy life a little more without spending lots in travelling.
