Controlled Manifestation. IE: I sculpt something and then bring it to life (and, change it's size at will) or animate an inanimate object/bring statue to life (fun-ness)

Now you're just being unimaginitive. If one had telekinesis, with fine enough control over it, one could use it to excite the particles in a piece of matter in much the same way as fire...

Good Luck (AKA nothing bad happens to me), Mind Control ("Yes, this is the IRS, we are here to audit y... errr... I mean give you a rather large return... err, I mean several large returns... and to remove you from our database...), or Telekinisis (screw yo *thud, person flys into wall*)

Mind control has to be the ultimate superpower, unless you were all alone then it would totally suck.
You really wouldn't need telekinesis because you could just make someone go and get it for you. And all you guys wouldn't need X-ray to look at women because they would do what you said.

That's so weird. I had this sudden urge to post a reply here, even though I had nothing much to say. *scratches head* That's so weird...

Insurance. You can be stylin' with the car, but if the thing breaks down on you (and you know it will), you won't be completely screwed.

I'd rather want stuff like an IQ of 250 and photographic memory, increased creativity and stuff like that, with that I'd become an evil genius and take over the world, some telepathic/telekinetic powers would also kick ass.

So it's essentially a brain-upgrade :D

Why do people want to take over the world? I can never understand this. Who would want it? Bleck. No thanks.

Because humans don't deserve to rule the world, I'd take it over in the name of the kittens.

The power I would want is the ability to alter everything and anything in reality as I see fit I could change the laws of physics or what ever law I want in short supreme control over everything
I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, please keep me here

unleash the power of mediocrity

It's not that i'm a wimp it's just that i have trouble eatting food that looks the same coming out as it did going in

*laplaplap* In the name of the kittens, eh? Thanks, but we don't need your help with that sort of thing. *mew* :twisted:

Wouldn't have to....necessarily. We could use sudden stops and starts, and use a constant velocity. Regardless of friction. :twisted:

Luck is a very subjective thing: take an example, suppose you break both legs and as a result avoid being at work the day a freak meteorite levels your office. Were you lucky? yes. Are you grateful for two broken legs? probably not.
I specified GOOD Luck and not of the Monkey's Paw style but rather the "infinte wishs style" Remeber the ultimate goal is...

1. Be Heath(IE take no damage)
2. Be Happy

Thats the basic conidution

Oh and to your question Zaia is because most of us don't trust those in power and would much rather see ourselves up there
