If you could have one super power..

Unrealistic amounts of money for realitivly no work, just like Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark. The best power of them all.
 
What lame powers you want. I want to have power of living at least a few hundred healthy years, so i could obtain the powers i want myself. :nuclear:
 
Travel through time, to my body at the time but while keeping all my memories intact. I could still live a perfectly normal life, but I could go back and do things right or see what would happen if I did things differently. I'd still be mortal and die of old age. I'd simply end up living as good as I possibly could.
 
The ability to save and load IRL.

I really can't think of anything that would be better. I mean, think about it: no more regrets. Ever.

This. So much this.
 
The ability to automatically know the true and complete answer to any question I pose to myself.

(I am fully aware that using this power to acquire other superpowers or on hackneyed cheats like "How do I survive this unsurvivable situation?" or "How do I become supreme overlord of the multiverse before brunch?" would be complete schoolyard B.S., so I promise to only do this when I'm drunk or bored.)

Good, but very limited tbh. There's powers that make "reloading" unnecessary to begin with.

Omnipotence. Obviously. Because thats like, com on, its all the powers combined.

If omnipotence is "too much" for a superpower, i'd go with total understanding and control of matter to a subatomic level.

Means you can do, control, create, destroy anything you set your mind to.

CO2 issues? Well, It's carbon & air now.
Turn lead into gold? Done.
Speeding car coming at you? Suddenly just a mist of harmless iron, alu and plastic particles.
Wish to be more buff? Boom, muscles.
Wish to have unbreakable bones & stop ageing of your cells? Done.
Cut yourself? Instant self-heal.
Nanobot army to serve your every command? Oh yes please.
Create your ideal mate/companion? Perfect!
Crave a nuclear wasteland? You've got it!

:twisted:
 
well depends about what superpowers we're talking about here. As far as the Marvel-Universe goes, there are a few beeings that posses omnipotence - the interesting part is, that most of those beeings actually dont care enough about the universe to actually use their powers, but yeah well. No ones perfect.
 
Whenever this discussion comes up with friends over drinks or the course of regular geekery, I usually make it a point to institute a "no omega-level powers" rule. Often enough, debating a power's implications and whether or not it's too good to qualify gets to be more interesting than the original question itself, if not as personally revealing. Something as innocuous as the power to round off the corners of an object can be an unparallelled destructive force if you want to get technical enough, and even if you don't, barring the top-shelf stuff leads to more interesting discourse and less seeking of a novel method to grant yourself Godhood.

(Says the guy who picked "functional omniscience" for his power. :roll:)
 
I want the ability to grow really tall, at will.
That way I could peer into apartments high up.

My ability would be indispensable to society!
