Instead of invisibility, can I just have the ability to turn off sound and sight so that I don’t have to hear or see the “it’s show time!” Folks. Fuck those guys.

Firstly, I take issue with your running on water limitation. I realize this is a for-fun conversation and everything but even Sonic the Hedgehog knows that water surfaces are nearly solid when there are adequate forces working on them. Geez. Anyway, I would use all four powers to invisibly float above a major city and telepathically-super-speed-manipulate a masturbatory aid onto myself and rain ejaculate on pedestrians. It would also cut down my commute considerably.

Telekinesis hands down

Do you get required side powers? Speed especially requires enhanced durability and strength to avoid injuring yourself when using your power.

You'd also need to be able to eat a ton quickly and metabolise it all quickly.

Telekinesis.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If Telekinesis can work like Steelpushing in Mistborn, I’d just get that.

Do objects in my hand also disappear?

Cuz I would do so much shoplifting

[–] Gladaed@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pretty easy to detect on cameras I guess.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

Impossible to link back to me though, assuming I enter the store invisible.

They'll just see a wave of crimes where some random object just randomly levitates off a shelf/hook and vanishes.

I could stay mobile by getting into busses between cities, also in invisible mode.

The only thing the cameras would see is merchedise disappearing and may e a door opening and closing.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Even if they don't, with what op already specified you could get rich shoplifting designer clothes

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Hide the item under your clothes.

They also didn't say how big your clothes can be
