Practical Superpowers

[woodwardiocom]

-Being a huge comic book geek, I have occasionally speculated about which powers I'd most like to have. Wolverine claws, Superman invulnerability, or, as Chandler sez, flight and invisibility.

-However, day to day, I find the power I most often wish for is the ability to heal. To make my friends healthier. To fix their back, to correct their vision, to take away their pain. It always frustrates me, that I can't help them in that way.

(Okay, I also sometimes wish for the power to give good relationship advice, and for X-ray vision. Though I suspect the latter wouldn't be all that appealing. Boobs in a bra that has merely been made invisible are probably kinda squashed-looking.)

-Meanwhile, in the state-of-the-Jon, I'm feeling better emotionally, but I think those chicken fingers had MSG in 'em, which means this headache is gonna linger. Still, I appear to be enduring.

1. Yeah, the power to heal is a nice one -- even if it was only disease and not actual harm. Heck, just the ability to dispel PCOS would help a lot of people I know. (As opposed to, like, diphtheria or tuberculosis or something. If you had to pick.)

2. Who knows? You might get used to it. Or you could stick to people who don't wear them, or in circumstances where they aren't. Or simply ask for the ability to see people as they would look if they were naked. (This is a Mind 1 Life 1 rote, for those keeping track.:))

-You've clearly put a lot of thought into this...

Maybe a little; it's a riff I've played before.

The power to give good relationship advice is less satisfying than you might imagine, because people rarely TAKE that good relationship advice.

use your superpowers to fight the evil MSG!!!

my favorite abilities when RPG-ing are stealth and charisma. wonder what that says about me...

Yeah, I agree with Signs of Life... You should ask for the power to make people take good rship advice. I would want to be the first to step into your healing beam of light...and then I'd push my sister who is married to an abusive fuckwad.

I'd like the power to heal my friends too. Or the power to make people love or understand each other. Wow! No more racism!

Or sexually....the power to morph my body. A kitten fur lined throat...A vagina with a thousand little tongues inside...A detachable arm or leg. Or the power to morph my partner's body... yeah! Maybe Gene Simmons won't mind if I borrow his guitar pick ;-)

While a throat lined with kitten fur might be fun for your partner, I suspect it would be really uncomfortable for you. Not to mention the kitten.

Oh my! No kittens have been/would be hurt in the conceptualization or realization of this fantasy! When I have superheroine powers kittens will rule the earth!
