Lamest Reason for Wanting a Super Power

[gaby]

If thers only one Power,well it will be Physical perfection.
Every one wants Perfect health.

[Dog_O_War]

Hidden Costume space (I think that's what it's called). Basically for every time I've gone to the store just to get a snack or energy drink and there has been some pretty girl there - and I'm wearing just shorts and an undershirt

Colour Manipulation. Mainly to mimic (IMO) the only funny scene in Kung-Pow, and to humble people at the bar. (nice pink Leafs jeresy, bud).

Telekinesis. Basically to pull the same gag they had Jesus do while golfing on Family Guy.

Theme Music, like Peter Griffin had that one episode on Family Guy. For the same reason.

Machine-Merging so that I could find the porn I like (free, story) easier. No joke.

[Overlord Rikonius]

If you had TK, you'd never have to wash your hands after using the restroom, because you wouldn't have to actually touch anything.

[The Baron of chaos]

Shapechange: Because I would have whatever look I wish , withtou having to fatigue for it. Plus I could try soemthing weird and pervert. I always puzzled how women would react to shapechanging prehensile genitals with eyes.
APS Rubber: Would you believe me if i said It was just to feel like a cartoon and no perv reason? Because it is the truth
Danger Sense: I really wanted it, because will allow me to avoid problems before they present(plus if i could refin its use, I coudl get some advantages, but even being able to avoid danger would be enough
Heightened Sense of Recall: Damn usefull, will make my life easier. And help me doing job test.

[Steeler49er]

Comidie fer the pointless sake of a laugh.

I'm with Baron, I've always wanted to be a Polymorph (Better than that idiot version found in PU3, but more like the Body Shaping power found in Black Vault) where I could look like anything...

Why? Cuz of the Awsomely pointless Pranks. In fact, a few years ago I posted a few threads called "Changling Tricks", in which i ask others what humorious but pointless lil pranks they'd pull on others.

The rules wer, no Real people/animals could be physically harmed, nor any property damage.
My wifes suggsetions:
Turn into a police horse & officer moving to direct traffic. After she noticably has the Officer abusively mis-treating the horse (also her) fer quite a while, the horse knocks the officer Off the horse and begins to ATTACK, bite, hit and finally eat the officer (a Herbivor going Carnivor is ALWAYS funny), dragging off the corps.

The others was to turn into a flock of Pigions that wait and coo outside the exit to Car washes

[Al Blotto]

Swing Line and Adhesion: Cause I'm tired of walking up the steps to the roof of my work and I've always wanted a grappling hook without all the hard work.
Flight: Wingless/Extraordinary Speed: I hate taking the bus to work. I would get there so much faster if I could fly or run.
Multiple Beings: Start a band with myself!

If i had multiple beings, the duplicate would go to work for me. In fact, 'I' could have several jobs all at the same time.

[Glistam]

X-ray vision so that I don't have to keep opening the fridge or cabinets in order to see what we have to eat.

[Daniel Stoker]

Telemechanics... especially if I could be like the Rifts Psi-Tech and always have it 'on'.

And your lame reason for this would be what exactly?
Well, aside from maybe being able to hack the forum so it looks like you entered the right info the first time and don't have an "edited by" indicator in there

[Snowtiger]

Physical perfection would be the one for me, no more putting on weight due to overuse of sweets, also everything I'd wear would look good on me, so I'd never have trouble in picking something to wear.

[Steeler49er]

5. No more sweat, no more body odor.

???
What about Cold Sweats?

[Al Blotto]

My wife's wish is for a focused EMP blast which took out the expensive electronics of any car which blasted bass and noise nearby. Except, perhaps, if it were blasting Wagner, 'cause that ****'s funny.

That reminded me of something Black Lightning pulled in an early issue of the new Justice League of America series. Focused EMP that shorted out the cell phone of a guy talking in a restaurant. I'd like to do that but at my cash register.

[BillionSix]

Super-speed. I work at a supermarket, a fairly large one. Sometimes checking on a price or something can mean an annoyingly long walk.

Brian

[BillionSix]

I've always had some terrible thought that, to a person who has super speed, that same distance might still be just as tedious.

That's true. Maybe the time perception doesn't speed up as much as you'd hope.

So, if you are a supersonic speedster, and you run from New York to California, it actually feels like you are jogging from one side of the country to another. Boring!

I think we will assume for this discussion that, though your reactions are speeded up to keep from crashing into random pedestrians, you also feel like you are going really really fast. That would be more fun, since you would get to yell, "Woo!" and mean it.

[Senator Cybus]

I want Taskmaster's power to flawlessly reproduce any action that he's witnessed. Because a fifteen year old beat me at Dance Dance Revolution recently, and I want a re-match - I'll scour YouTube for some sweet disco moves, and then you're going down, tiny child!

Or Alter Physical Features. Because I get sick of shaving.

[AlanGunhouse]

If I could only have one power, I think super invention (I know, it is not really an HU Power). I mean, no only can you build items to duplicate nearly any power, but you can create items to patent an make a fortune

[gaaahhhh]

Control Insects and Arachnids. Termite swarms are good for getting rid of annoying neighbors.

[The Beast]

I thought of one, but posting it would likely result in a suspension.

[Prince Cherico]

Super telekinesis
Force manipulation
Wingless flight
extrodinary PB

Id use my powers for house hold
choices, moving heavy objects
flying to work instead of walking
and looking good for the ladys

[krate]

Clock manipulation. So I can always seem to be on time at work. Bwuahahaha!

[Snowtiger]

Of course, anything you yell during supersonic running would be lagging behind, like the sound of a jet comes after the jet has already passed, due to the jet moving at supersonic speeds.

*Start scene*
WHOOSH! *the sound of running by at supersonic speeds*
"What the heck?!" *bystander ducking for cover although the runner has already passed him by a mile*
"WOOHOOO!!! This is fun!" *the delayed hoot of joy, seemingly coming out of thin air due to the runner moving at supersonic speeds*
*End Scene*

[Overlord Rikonius]

To be honest, I would like just about any of them seeing as how I could probably find some way to abuse them. Although I would prefer a more subtle power.
Telepathy, invisibility, multiple selves, teleportation would all be more fun then an APS power, or being able to control the weather in my opinion because with an overt power people would always want you to do stuff for them. Since I have to choose though I would have to go with.......

Controlling the weather doesn't have to be overt.
"Huh? Oh yeah sure, I'll go on that picnic with your family. Yeah, it'll be fun". Unless of course, it rains.

"Wow, it's pouring out there, need to get something from the car. I just hope it lets up soon" *reduce precipitation*

"Damn neighbor's dog won't shut up" *lightning strike in the yard, and the dog's cowering in his doghouse*

"My friend owns this beachfront restaurant. He's been doing well lately. It's odd that the rain rarely seems to hit this stretch of beach"

Like any other power, you'd just have to not use it in a pattern that screams "this guy is a mutie!" Let yourself get caught in the rain every now and then. Do stuff that has the weather help people you don't know too well. Have most of the effects not target you specifically. In the restaurant one, there's probably several eateries, and shops, that benefit from that weather pattern.

[Overlord Rikonius]

People would probably catch on if someone always got struck by lightning when I gave them the bird.
DD

People would also catch on if someone always started flailing around all blind and itchy when you gave them the bird.

[Overlord Rikonius]

People wouldn't catch on if you used Bio-Manipulation right though.

That's the point. People wouldn't catch on if you used weather manipulation right either.

[Steeler49er]

Attack of the Nearly Dead Threads

Not sure if this counts as Lame, more like not using the power to it's fullest.
Only using Major SP "Chemical Secretion" to create massage & aromatherapy oils so as to cut costs at your job as a masseuse/masseur...

[Iczer]

Monstrous Form + Tentacles + Body Weapons

Why? To convince my nieces and nephews that the bogeyman DOES exist. That way they'll actually listen when you tell them "you have to go to bed right now or the bogeyman will get you".

you only need shapechanging to do this.

Batts

[Steeler49er]

Of course, Having the 'Tentical' power<Rifter Versions a must> sure does help add to the creep factor, and BoDy Weapon<Alter Limbs is bedr> can change between forms faster than Shape Shift for that "Tool" twitch factor.
But yeah, Izcers right about just how freaky Shape Changing can make you look like anyones worst nightmare!

[Smlawrence8]

Ok I always felt like the healing power was kind of like wolverines or like clair from Heroes...

I want that healing power so I can run around looking for Connor MacCloud screaming "There can be only One". And when they kill me I would just regenerate......

[Smlawrence8]

Mechano link so that I can own ppl at video games...

Think of being the reigning world champion halo player

[Steeler49er]

I gotta New one...
Using Telekinesis to lift cars...
Just so I can get panoramic views of car to decide if I wanna buy them or not.

If i had multiple beings, the duplicate would go to work for me. In fact, 'I' could have several jobs all at the same time.

I've thought about this from time to time, but then it occurred to me: What's to stop the duplicates from being as lazy as I am? There's no reason at all for them to be obedient to me. I'd have a bunch of lazy duplicates.

*sigh*

I'd have to work out some sort of rotation, where one day, my duplicate would go to work for me, and the next day, my duplicate could sit home and goof off whilst I go to work.

well, if you reabsorb at the end of each day, you could create a brand new duplicate in the morning. and he could go to work, leaving you to slack.

You could get a casual/menial job though. negotiate with the boss for additional wages.
It must seem a good deal to the boss (if he can get used to the idea). Instead of paying $10 per hour per worker, he could pay 15$ per hour for a guy who can do (literally) two or more times the work. and on the books you are a single employee, so he has less expenses too. and if a duplicate is seriously injured, then you reabosrb him, then spit him back out as good as new.
And if you can create more than a single duplicate, then you can do this all while you, yourself, sits at home.

HAH!!!
This is funny cuz it's what exactly I did in one of my ABERRANT/Trinity games. I errupted after getting in a fight with some violent customers after work at the Jack'n the Box where my PC jobbed for a bad pay check.

To deal with the five dudes I created (maniested) ten Clones of myself to help me kick butt. After I got outta the hospital I got a better possition at JnB running my own store because of the clones (and heightened Food Serving Reflexes & Oder taking memmory)...
Plus Jack in the Box enjoyed the Free publisity of having there very own Nova working for them...
And I enjoyed all the Sour Dough Jacks I could eat (Novas and there super bigg appitites).
