If You Could Have Any Super (Or Unusual) Power, What Would It Be?

Technically you can do anything, you' re just not allowed to.

As Sforzato pointed out once the wish is granted it' s too late to debate whether you got what you actually meant or not, whether the genie played with words or not, and to question the genie' s definition of "omnipotent" (which is debatable).

 

To make a giant text bubble that reads "Objection!" Appear whenever I best someone in an argument.

 

That makes no sense. I either can do something or I cannot. If there are conditions, then I am not omnipotent until the restrictions are gone.

 

See, that' s the thing, there has to be conditions or else it makes no sense. Is an omnipotent being able to break anything and able to create an unbreakable object at the same time ? Philosophers have argued about omnipotence better than I ever will, but as I see it a genie is very much omnipotent.

 

Restrictions based on paradox are not relevant; omnipotence is assumed to apply to things that are logically possible, and those only.

 

Makky Mak can have her cake and eat it too.

 

They' re restrictions nonetheless, and for a second I thought you suggested being omnipotent meant having no restrictions at all.

 

No conditions, but no matter how much control you have over matter, you cannot deny logic.

 

Lasers

Also wings

 

I'd like to say telekinesis, but I don't think I'd have the attention span for it (case in point, upon reading the word on this page, I wrote 'omnipotence' in stead of 'telekinesis').

It would be kinda awkward if I was in mid battle, lifting a truck, ready to hurl it at my arch nemesis... And then I'd see a cute squirrel, forget what I'm doing, drop the truck, killing a dozen or so innocent bystanders.

Oops.

So, ultimately, I guess I'd say what every actor wishes to have: empathic powers. Preferably I'd be able to control others moods, but I guess from an acting point of view becoming overcome with emotion could be great... In the right situations.

 

Time to get bizarre in this bizatch :B

I want the power to place a fully functional zipper on anything with a touch of my hand.

 

Hmmm...

.........

OHGODTHEMENTALIMAGESGETTHEMOUTGETTHEMOUTHEEELLLPPPP

 

Tut tut, dear. Where's the challenge in that? You'd be bored out of your mind and you know it.

Ok Nomura you just keep the fuck away from my clothes

 

Oh I'll just zip those clothes off ;D

 

I would not! Well, maybe...

Ahahaha.

 

Hey now

guess mine would be.......to read people's minds!

 

Not to mention that your bones and joints would pretty much shatter from the forces exerted upon them. Also the amount of calories you'd have to consume just to be able to keep up the energy. Also you'd suffer extreme agitation at everyone around you because they're slower than you.

Anyway, I'd like to be an Eldritch Abomination. Somewhere along the lines of Alucard.

 

He's not Eldritch, just hungry!
