Dropping down Tetris blocks on people. Also, turning people into said blocks.

 You should totally check out the IRC channel.
While you're at it, go check out my band, Her Majesty's Heroines.

I'll start with 2, otherwise this thread will become a giant list.
1. Spiderman's powers, freaking awesome, no explanation needed here.
2. The power to make you shit your pants with my mind. This one would be a great way of getting out of undesirable situations. Boss yelling at ya? not when they shit their pants their not! Girlfriend nagging? Not while she's running to the bathroom ashamed and in tears! Getting mugged? Nope, that tough guy act got dropped along with the load in your assailants pants! |
The main problem is that it would´nt protect you from superpowered retards.
You can´t beat mind controlling. Its got all the practical day to day goodness of mind reading, in that you can tell them what to think. Its a bit morally sketchy, but so is shooting fire from your eyes.
A big problem of a bunch of these superpowers is their practicality. Simple utilitarian stuff gets you kidnapped and enslaved by some larger power like the government. And most destroy stuff abilities can´t measure up to modern weaponry, and aren´t really good for much except stuff that would get assaulted by modern weaponry. |
Good thing practicality isn't/shouldn't be an issue in this topic then, eh?

I agree, mindcontrolling is the clear winner for me. You get a lot of the benefits of other superpowers, and you can gain superpowers vicariously from the people you mind control.

If you're going for the perv angle you'd just need the power to freeze time, or mind control.

Now your getting silly. A comic book revolving around a character with all those powers would be incredibly boring.

Bullshit, every one of those powers is one of Superman's except for the freezing time. Freezing time is for my own personal game

If I could be a superhero, I would be Drug-Free Boy
Telling the world of the evils of drugs
And all of the lives they destroy
Well I'd take all the junkies getting so high
With their needles and bongs
And their sticks made of Thai
As I burned them alive, I would squeal with joy
Cuz I would be Drug-Free Boy

Superman is also the crappiest, most boring superhero ever, though I congratulate Jeph Johns on doing his best to make Superman interesting, much like he made Green Lantern fucking awesome. Unless you grew up reading about the Bottle City of Kandor, however, it really just isn't the same as what he's done with GL.

Since when have I said that Superman was or wasn't boring, I said his powers would be pretty kick ass to have, I never mentioned him not being boring or being boring in anyway.

To quote (or at least paraphrase) Eric Cartman:
"I have the power to have as many powers as I want."
Or, if not, definitely shooting energy from my hands. Of course, I'd be a villain, so the energy better be fatal. No bullshit mercy from me.

Do you mean The Sentry? The guy who's essentially Marvel's version of Superman, except he's a paranoid schizophrenic?
Hyperion of the Squadron Supreme is still what Superman wishes he could be. Best origin ever.

Wolverine's claws weren't a power, jackass. They were naturally there.
Hate when people ask for wolverine claws as a power.

I thought Wolverine's claws were implanted into him along with the rest of his adamantium skeleton in the Weapon X program. On the other hand, I get most of my comic knowledge from wiki, so I'm far from an expert.

I was under the impression that Wolverine's bone claws existed as a result of his mutation? (Meaning that his heightened senses and claws were all part of the same "power")

They were. Murdar is a retard, I thought everyone knew that.
His claws are part of his "primal mutation" thing he has going on.
That's why when his adamantium was ripped out of his skeleton (through his pores) he still had claws.

There is a strong historical precedent for humans fighting while having shat themselves. People in war don't stop to shit when its serious, or when you need to take out a guy who has the power to make you poop yourself.

I would wish that anything my right hand touched would turn into gold. I'd wear a glove over a glove on my right hand, two since the first would turn to gold. You get the idea. King Midas but smarter.

I coundn't decide so I'll narrow it down to three 1. Telekinsis obviously. 2. Cheat codes for the universe (rotate in a cirle 30 times to enter god mode!) 3. Time travel.
