Other: invisibility.

Imagine how useful that would be for lurking out of sight and finding out things you're not supposed to.

One power I would *not* want to be stuck with is Telepathy: can you imagine getting a good look into the mind of, oh, say... Darkstar?

*shudders*

Get in line, clanky.
Oh, really? Then why do you get so jealous when I tell the story about walking in on the girl? Huh? :twisted:

What's all this telekinesis nonsense? If you're going to have a superpower, pick pyrokinesis :twisted:

Because he never said that this power would be fully mature from the beginning. Now imagine you have pyrokenesis, and you can't control it... Spontaneous Human Combustion. :twisted:

Pyrokinesis is rather limited in use. Telekinesis is a much more robust ability.

Telekinesis. I could steal anything that I needed, and kill anyone I wanted dead.

Psionics in general. Spellcasting is too complex.

Psionics includes

Telekinetics(beng able to ward off bullets, explosions and the like, as well as throw very heavy things and fly comes in handy)

pyrokinetcs(I like fire...cleansing fire)

electokinesis(i think that is what it is called, but I like the idea of causin electricity to arc from my fingers)

Telepathy(Yeah like I really need to explain the benifits of this one)

That's a bit of a cop out to get a bunch of powers. :)

I'll just mind control Alyrium...

You didn't take anti-mind control powers? Awww....

The powers of the mind. If I so happen to be able to do asll sorts of nifty things....

Ahh but the basics of telepathy is the ability to defend yourself from your own type of abilities. I can see it coming(you constantly project your thoughts) they I can cause your neck to break, or your head to implode using my telekinetic abilities. :twisted:

If you can even perceive me. It's so easy to make you think I'm not there when I am... And since you're not even conscious of it... ehehe...

I think at this exact moment I'd have to go with teleportation. I miss my far-away friends too much, and it would just be too damned convenient! I could live in Hobart and work here in Maryland if I wanted to, for cryin' out loud!

Besides, any mind control I would want to do I could do on my own without help from a superpower. After all, I am a woman. I know how to do these things. :wink: :twisted: :D

Mind powers...if for nothing else to reach into another's and just simply either raise their intelligence or just shut them down and create another zombie like drone for my army.

Teleportation.

On not just myself, but animate and inanimate objects as well...

*teleports large piano 5 stories above some leaders head and watches it fall...* :twisted:

Total and complete control of Ki.

And if I can't have that, then enormous level of telekinesis (Above Akira-level).

The ability to rearrange matter to any extent that I like, with that, I can engineer practically any other power into myself.

I depends if other people have superpowers and who will know if I have super-powers. If I'm the only one, I don't have to worry about defense as much. And if everyone knows anyway, I don't need to worry about stealth.

Exact what I have now

"Increable Luck"

What not a superpower? How about the fact that no matter the situation it goes my way?

*Cripes fell off a building! Don't worry that Bungie jumper gets in my way and I land safly on the ground

*Running low on Cash? Don't worry, whatever game of chance you pick(Lottery, Craps, Black-jack) you'll win!

*Want Political power? In an odd turn of events desipite being from the "Overlord Domination Party" people figure your a better choice that either Gore or Bush... HELLO Mr President!

*Want what ESB normaly wants? Don't worry! *Insert female's name here has decided to join the nunnery and wants one more fling before she goes and YOUR right there!

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.
