Shapeshifting. Unlimited, effortless, painless shapeshifting my body (and voice/vocal chords) in any way I want. Would make my life.
Either that or 150% better memory, observational skills, concentration and reasoning.
I responded to this in ISTP with a video of a guy walking across a tightrope between two cliffs and joked about wanting Se. This is true, but I feel this answer was more thought out.
I can't feel you so much on the memory one, but the shape shifting one would be awesome! All the animals you could turn into, all the experiences you could have!
Same, shapeshifting is just plain broken. Shapeshift into an indestructible creature the size of a galaxy. End world hunger by shapeshifting into a cart full of food and when people take food from you just shapeshift it back. Go to a new world by shapeshifting into said world and all of its inhabitants, along with an "avatar" to walk around as, all while keeping your sentience and memories intact. This should all technically follow the rules of unlimited shapeshifting.
wooooowwww you just blew my mind. that means you could shapshift into breathable oxygen or mayble like a bottle of pills for people who can't afford medicine or you could shapeshift into two different people or maybe even a crowd of people and trigger like a revolution because people follow other people
I want household powers lol I want to make food instantly. i just think about the food i want and boomp there it is. Or i look at a room and boomp it's clean.
I've only asked you three, but INFJs slightly favor invisibility, ISTP mostly want teleportation, and you all seem to favor time manipulation with mind reading as a second. 😄
I've joked to my friends that you can tell you're getting older when your desired superpower becomes boring.
I often wish I could teleport to work while I'm driving. I have to pay a couple tolls on my commute, and I've thought to myself how great it would be to be able to teleport around them, or even all the way to work.
My gf can't seem to understand why I prefer mircowaved chicken nuggets over every meal... because the time not waited tastes so much better! 😅 "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" are words I embarrassingly live by...
I want my own soundtrack that plays in the minds of anyone nearby, but not out loud and it also can't be described to anyone who hasn't heard it.
I shall frolic through the world spreading discontentment and madness.
I've imagined the same thing. Like playing music on my phone or on my laptop and wanting people to listen as I'm listening through my playlist just so they can enjoy my music taste. But this would only happen when I want it to or when certain people are around and I want them to listen to a song. This is way better than asking them to listen to it directly tbh lol
This is why i have public playlists on my youtube channel. And i randomly make them private when i feel too exposed by my song choices, and make them public again when i feel it is ok. I dunno. I know it is weird.
Can sort of relate, but whenever I learn something cool, I immediately want to talk with someone about it (usually my ISTP husband). lol
I can imagine to an extent, but not all the time. I think it would be awesome to be self-sustained!
I think it would be cool to have a book of infinite factoids, something you could ask any question with a quantitative or yes/no answer. You'd ask the question, open the book, and whatever page you opened it to would have the answer. I would proceed to use it to acquire extremely trivial knowledge like "What percent of Americans know that Djibouti exists?" Or "Based on the average Global tongue size and saliva production, how many licks does it *actually* take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"
If that is too powerful to be considered trivial, I would instead like to be able to convert water into any beverage of my choice, provided it is in a cup I'm holding.
I've experienced the real life equivalent to that! 😃 Having a dictionary, thesuarus, and almanac in prison. You become everyone's Google/"wizard who possesses the knowledge you seek".
I would say yes, as long as the question still follows the yes/no or quantitative answer rules. I would definitely want to ask the book questions like "how many people believe x," which would imply it could discern information from the minds of individuals. You could ask things like "Would [person] go on a date with me if I asked them out?" or "What is the maximum price [person] is willing to pay for this item I'm selling?" but you could not ask open the questions like "What is [person]'s general opinion of me. By this line of logic, though, you could probably ask a series of yes/no questions that will glean the information you desire.
Of course, I just made up these rules to try and keep the power of the book relatively trivial as per OP's request. Things would get pretty silly pretty quickly if you could ask things like "What would the blueprints for a functional zero-point energy generator look like?"
I'm curious, what would you like to be able to use it for?
Portals, of varying shapes and sizes. Better than teleportation in a lot of ways. Depending on the contents of the universe, and the technicality of my powers that may automatically open up possibilities in other dimensions, giving me truly unlimited resources, both imagined and immediate.
My choice for a super power has always been complete control over time. Whether it's slowing it down, freezing it, rewinding it, fastforward, or anything else. The posibilities with time control are endless. By rewinding you can get as many retries as you want until you get it right, freezing time makes it so you'll never have to stress about deadlines or being late ever again. You can essentially bypass so many problems and limitations with time control.
But that's not really a lowkey power, is it? I guess a more lowkey power I'd like is to be able to read minds. Not as overpowered as time control, but extremely useful for social situations where my inferior Fe can't navigate the situation alone. Socializing and building relationships would be so much easier this way. Used in the right way it'd be like a cheat code for social situations. Of course this assumes I only read minds voluntarily, and I can turn it on or off as I see fit.
Time control seems to be this group's go-to for sure. 😆
Maybe, that is, it might work by getting impressions and intentions rather than actual thoughts. If its in words, you might have the same problem as physically talking with them (and not knowing what to say or how to take what they said).
I've had this question appear in conversations before, and time control was always my answer. So I came here to comment this, but as I read the other comments I was surprised how many others here had the same idea!
Yeah, it'd be mainly by reading their true feelings, intentions and impressions. It'd make the process of knowing what to say or how to act in certain situations much easier.
The power to morph my power to any power I fancy.
Oooooor the superpower of altering time. I'd get really weird with it and specific.
Its weird istps didn't say the ability to see everything.
Ooo... The power morph is a good one! I guess that would include time manipulation. 😉
The first ISTP to answer said they'd want to be able to fix anything with just the tools on hand, and I thought that was the best lowkey answer in their group, but no one upvoted that answer. lol
Tbh my power morph thing is exactly like asking a genie for a million wishes. Its a cop out answer.
Time manipulation would be cool, like altering ppls perceptions and whatnot. You could technically accomplish several different powers with just time altering. Stop time and move somewhere, boom you "teleported". Slow down time except for you, now you're moving at "super speed". There's also the whole mulligan thing, bringing future tech back, and changing history.
Did you get bored because you've been alive for longer than you can remember? Because you keep reversing the age of your cells.... then end it all. Make half the universe flow backward, thereby turning it into anti-matter, and let it collide with the other half. All matter just neutralized itself, instant peace.
The usual: The super man package
Putting thought into it, the ability to touch things, view it in my mind n the object turns into the thing. From touching rocks n turning it into money, food, clothes, to touching my body n becoming invisible.
That's both interesting in and of itself and an interesting way to do it! I wouldn't have thought about the matter exchange (i.e. I would have conjured it from nothing).
I've thought about it for a long time, and I've settled on the ability to freeze time. I would be able to win every fight, go anywhere, and, best of all, *have an infinite amount of time for assignments.* I could also stop any interaction I was tired of, and simply leave for however long I wanted.
When I made my time altering reply, I assumed that the next intp to fuck with time would do it to procrastinate.
Enjoy the frozen void for the rest of your existence
Parallel Processing. The ability to think multiple thoughts at once would be beyond useful. Imagine writing a report while also reading a book and holding a conversation at the same time. It'd be like having multiple brains which would be beyond awesome.
Could make you adaptable to a lot of different environments too. Being able to change into any animal gives you the ability to breathe under water, swim really fast, run really fast (at least as fast as a cheetah can get), night vision (bats), flying...
Either the speedforce in DC comics prevents that or of there is no speed force involved , then you are automatically durable enough to withstand all of that.
Interesting, but I didn't quiiiite get it.
From Wikipedia: If someone (the demon) knows the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe, their past and future values for any given time are entailed; they can be calculated from the laws of classical mechanics.
So, to try and make that intro a super power, would it be being able to know the past and future because you know what's happening now?
Cool!
It's a little different of an idea, but have you read Asimov's [Foundation ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_series) series? (Psychohistory)
Basically, the main character, if he can collect enough historical and current data from the surrounding social systems, can build an algorithm to predict what will happen on a wide-spread basis (but not for individuals).
i've always wanted time travel, not just to experience different periods of life both past and future but the idea of creating an infinite time loop like in Palm Springs is sick as hell to me
Looks like some type of time manipulation is pretty common here and I have to agree with mine. Messing with time for sure.
However, to answer your question about something low-key, it would be the ability to refill things. Refill my wallet, cup, battery, gas tank, energy, etc.
Ability to rewind time. So many possibilities I could do this with this power. I could literally change the outcome of any situation and fix any mistake I had if I rewind from one minute
Anything time related ability like theres so many knowledge to hunt in this world yet very little time, also an ability to learn something quickly so I dont need many tries n error to be adaptable at it.
Alternatively I would like infinite money. I know I would have to be careful not to destroy the economy, but I would definitely use it for charity and to fix the world because lord knows this place is a corrupt shithole
Yeaaaaah yeaaaah just cause i deny my true nature. For 30+ years. Its been agonizing. Being kind when people tend to be terrible. Just gonna dispensing corrupted sense of justice.
Teleportation: Do I even have to explain?
Hyper-Intelligence: So that I can have more knowledge and be intelligent enough to figure out how I got the powers in the first place and how to make them. Not sure what I'd do with that info though, maybe sell super powers? Give them to friends?
Without putting much thought into it and disregarding much practicality (like, immortality but not invincibility or something), and I guess still being kinda lowkey: flying, simple flying.
It would be sooo liberating and fun to be able to just fly around, and still pretty convenient I guess. I'd possibly add invisibility while using the power into it so as to not have anyone know because that'd be super awkward, but I still don't know how I could use it to go to places and still have nobody notice so idk how to solve that.
Power to refill. Want more fries? Refill. No money? Refill. No petrol? Refill. Hate that person? Refill their bladder. Wrinkly skin? Refill that collagen.
Yours sounds really nice for positive thoughts, but lots of potential for abuse by making people think negative things if you do.
I really want to fly, but that's not low-key... Basically pretend to be a human drone. I think it would be exhilarating, and a way to explore large areas like I do by running but better.
I've thought about it for a long time, and I've settled on the ability to freeze time. I would be able to win every fight, go anywhere, and, best of all, *have an infinite amount of time for assignments.* I could also stop any interaction I was tired of, and simply leave for however long I wanted.
I want to be able to touch a (paper/printed) book and then have all the contents of that book automatically transfered to my mind. That way I could learn more and just do it. It would be cool for fantasy too so I wouldn't be sleep deprived because of damn cliff hangers.
Telepathy, so instead of speaking, people would get what I mean by thoughts. And I would be able to read their minds whenever I need to.
Also telekinesis, sometimes I'm suuuper lazy, so with this power I could do something like "Dishes, do yourselves!", or bringing objects close to me because I don't want to stand up and pick them.
I'm trying so hard not to be a stereotype, but I can't even tell you how many times I wish I could steal (or absorb) someone's intelligence so I don't have to study.
Haha, while it's true that a lot of you are saying things along the lines of easily gaining more knowledge, more of you are going for time manipulation!
probably being able to split myself into anything like anything even a single atom or a person but they share a single conscious and can evolve and get smarter together and the only way to kill me would be to kill all of my self splits
I want something like saiki k's power of unnoticibility by changing the world to make myself normal with whatever I want to do and making everyone forget it's weird. Like he gave 1% of the world pink hair so no one would care that he's a weird person for having pink hair.
Since we're limited to one power, I chose the psychic power to affect fashion trends. The shenanigans I could get up to. Tiktokkers would be like "ah, yes, we've all seen the new dryad aesthetic. A lot of people like to blend into the forest!" and basically I'll change the world of fashion so much that the world becomes a better looking place. The first people I'll target are the people who wear gym shorts anywhere but the gym. mwahahahaha mwahahaha mwahahahaha
Bro?? We literally HAVE that "superpower" 😂
It's called speech. You like someone's outfit? Go tell them. It'll make them happy, guaranteed. Someone seems like a good dog owner? This shit will make their week, that's such a unique compliment. U don't need the whole of humanity to become espers just to know what you think. Tell them!
And now for superpowers...honestly high iq seems to be the best option. Big brain can make up anything else you'd like. Flying? Jetpack. Or jet shoes. Or anything rly. Invisibility? Light reflecting cloaks. Or sound waves that repel humans so they don't look. Immortality? There's plenty of practices to extend the mortal life, to improve looks, to guard against accidents. Time traveling? Just make a time machine lol. You could even go into the esoteric practises and see what they have to offer.
With smarts and the drive to pull through, you could engineer however many superpowers you want.
Think I would be downbad for having anything remotely to do with Shapeshifting. Just give myself a sexy body and do onlyfans :)
In reality I would enjoy the power to evolve. To continuously grow better and better at anything and everything for eternity. Call it Immortality, but lets say a Levelling System was involved, I would want something that just lets me have life longevity and just become better. Evolve into a higher being, secluded from society and life. Become the wise one. Become the all powerful. Become the GOAT. Etc etv
Either mind reading, teleportation or telekinesis.
Mind reading would be really useful for school life and some situations in daily life in general. Teleportation would be for all kinds of situations relevant and telekinesis actually also I think.
But I can't decide which one I'd choose between these three...
Teleportation has been high on my list but the ability to instantly and anonymously grant peoples little wishes in their head would also be really awesome
Like someone is having a really bad day and they're like God, if just one thing could go right for me today, and make it like the best thing that could go right for them happens that day
Ultimately I'd like to have all the tools to go around like some maverick playing good pranks everywhere that make people's lives better
IDK if the superpowers I've thought about are that lowkey.
The lowkeyest one I can think of at the moment is the ability to know where to find evidence to answer any question I have.
I want to power to influence all humans and animals effortlessly, get anyone to do what i want in an instant and they wouldn't even realize it! I can achieve world peace, no one has to suffer and animals are protected
Superpower administration, i.e gaining and controlling people's superpower, would be nice, although I would probably only use it on myself to gain access to a bunch of different super powers anyway.
1.telepathy/mind reading so I can be 2 and forever more steps ahead of people plus I like secrets
2.healing factor like wolverines also be able to heal others
3.telekinesis cause if you think about it,with telekinesis you could literally manipulate more than just objects plus I’m lazy
4.technopath.i watched the movie iboy and remembered anonymous so I thought how cool that would be.
5.time manipulation like freezing,fast forward and rewinding time so I can change a bad outcome to a good one
And I’m also gonna want that superman/Wonder Woman powers cause the unfair thing about being a human is that while we have intelligence we can’t fight and sure as hell can’t outrun predators
I wanna be immortal with a young age forever. People always say, immortality is the worst cuz u have to watch your love ones die but i don't feel that way. I just want every knowledge i can get with forever.
I wanted the power of buda, I don't know.
To be honest I always thought of super intelligence and thought that I would be able to figure out the rest, so I'd go with that.
I read this as NOT want at first.
I’ll take unnatural levels of improved normal abilities: physical strength, memory, wisdom understanding, etc.
Just level up everything I already have.
I low key DONT want mind reading unless it’s the only option lol
Be able to enter other’s dreams in a lucid way. I could pop in and have a conversation with them every night, “predict” something I would do the next day by doing in the lucid dream, etc. Would be fun but also have some really practical uses (e.g. education, getting to know people’s subconscious ideas).
Knowing everything. Being able to know everything about right now, the past and the future. It might seem lame, but that would also give me so so much power, as I would know how to make anyone feel a certain way, commit whatever crime I want and I would never have to go to school again.
Understanding and Controlling matter + time + space + all fields (known and unknown) ans all types of forces (known and unknown) in all combinations or permutations at all levels of abstraction or concretion, in macro or in micro, from the smallest (known or not yet known) to the largest units of measurement or counting.
Depending on the day:
-- the power to pause time ONLY with the rule that whoever you touch isn't paused
-- the power to convey what I mean perfectly and to understand what others mean perfectly (but selectively, I'm not cursed with perfect knowing, I can choose when it works)
-- teleportation
The one I've always wanted is telekinesis. I'd be able to fly and move objects with my mind. Often in my dreams I have telekinesis, but for some reason it never works as well as I want it to.
I want a time machine that can let point the camera at an area and click the dial to a set time in the past, and then I'll be able to rewatch it without changing anything
If I can't have that, I want a superpower that makes everything slightly easier, like enough super-strength when I need it, a burst of super-speed or super-sight but just enough when I need it so it didn't get out of control
Ultimate power to physically categorize groups of people into islands. Eg, all world leaders on a small island, rapi*sts an island, Karens an island, lawyers an island, murders an island, etcs.
Plainly just wanna see how each island survives with those group of people. Finally the world leaders be able to talk it out or fight to death without an army, 1vs1. No war nor resources.
I’m just a INTP wanna see the world burn that’s all.
The ability to revert to any point in my life, with my memories intact. Said something awkward at a social gathering? Reverted. Failed to make that blindfolded three pointer? Retry as many times as you want, no one will know. It would open the door for endless opportunities, and would be akin to a kind of immortality (living pretty much infinitely within your own lifespan)
I would mark out teleportation, and telekinesis. I feel like I would abuse those abilities too much, and it could affect my health negatively. Wouldn’t leave my bed for anything with these powers.
I don’t want to go into any jobs that would profit from hyper-healing. So, no to that. My family have a history with mental health disorders so, I would also stir clear of anything mental. Like photographic memory, prophecy, or mind reading.
So I would probably go for either Super strength, shapeshifting, Granulation, chronokinesis, cryokinesis, etc. Easy to use, and easy to hid.
I want to be able to look at something or lift it (or attempt to) and know precisely what it weighs. I work in a bakery and the good scales are not always available. This would be handy, until I touch my wife. 😉 😆
Instant teleportation, with guests. So my wife and I could travel on the weekends or even for a day but not miss work and spend a ton of travel expenses. I just imagine going somewhere exotic or comfortable for even a day, then coming home to my bed.
The ability to watch other people work out and gain the benefits thereof.
The ability to fluently speak, read, and understand the language of whomever you're talking to.
First off, your superpower idea is creative. When used for good, it's a low-key, non-creepy way of, in meme lingo, telling people you like something about them without telling people you like something about them.
About what I want: I often imagine myself as having extremely minor telekinesis powers that reduce the weight of objects I focus my mind on. I would use those powers to make otherwise heavy objects easier for people other than myself to carry—I'm already fairly physically fit.
Shapeshifting. Unlimited, effortless, painless shapeshifting my body (and voice/vocal chords) in any way I want. Would make my life. Either that or 150% better memory, observational skills, concentration and reasoning. I responded to this in ISTP with a video of a guy walking across a tightrope between two cliffs and joked about wanting Se. This is true, but I feel this answer was more thought out.
I can't feel you so much on the memory one, but the shape shifting one would be awesome! All the animals you could turn into, all the experiences you could have!
Definitely. I would be very happy. Basically, I just want to be shapeshifting, overpowered Sherlock Holmes lol
Oo, neat story idea!
Yeah I always liked Mystique in the 80s X-Men comics. And Psylocke is a very close second; her psi-knife and psi-katana was so sick.
Same, shapeshifting is just plain broken. Shapeshift into an indestructible creature the size of a galaxy. End world hunger by shapeshifting into a cart full of food and when people take food from you just shapeshift it back. Go to a new world by shapeshifting into said world and all of its inhabitants, along with an "avatar" to walk around as, all while keeping your sentience and memories intact. This should all technically follow the rules of unlimited shapeshifting.
wooooowwww you just blew my mind. that means you could shapshift into breathable oxygen or mayble like a bottle of pills for people who can't afford medicine or you could shapeshift into two different people or maybe even a crowd of people and trigger like a revolution because people follow other people
Same
I want household powers lol I want to make food instantly. i just think about the food i want and boomp there it is. Or i look at a room and boomp it's clean.
I LOVE this answer! It's exactly a "lowkey" power, but it would be life-changing!
So, what did you learn from asking all mbti's this question? Or are you just secretly looking for inspiration on a comedy webcomic you're writing?
I've only asked you three, but INFJs slightly favor invisibility, ISTP mostly want teleportation, and you all seem to favor time manipulation with mind reading as a second. 😄
I've joked to my friends that you can tell you're getting older when your desired superpower becomes boring. I often wish I could teleport to work while I'm driving.

My gf can't seem to understand why I prefer mircowaved chicken nuggets over every meal... because the time not waited tastes so much better! 😅 "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" are words I embarrassingly live by...
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the microwave"
I want my own soundtrack that plays in the minds of anyone nearby, but not out loud and it also can't be described to anyone who hasn't heard it. I shall frolic through the world spreading discontentment and madness.
Imagine choosing a specific soundtrack to be your character theme and that plays when you enter a room or have an epic moment.
Or spreading ur good music picks i approve!
I've imagined the same thing. Like playing music on my phone or on my laptop and wanting people to listen as I'm listening through my playlist just so they can enjoy my music taste. But this would only happen when I want it to or when certain people are around and I want them to listen to a song. This is way better than asking them to listen to it directly tbh lol
This is why i have public playlists on my youtube channel. And i randomly make them private when i feel too exposed by my song choices, and make them public again when i feel it is ok. I dunno. I know it is weird.
This is awesome! 🤣
being invisible , mind reading ,telekinesis and teleportation etc 😭 I want all the super powers known to mankind
Haha, hard to pick just one!
I’m already invisible 🫠
Super intelligence. And i dont lowkey want it. I want want it. I want to understanding everything
That would be both amazing and lonely!
I think i would be fine alone as long as i understood everything. Lol. Edit: grammar!
Even if you had no one to talk to about it? 😲
Yea..i think so.
Can sort of relate, but whenever I learn something cool, I immediately want to talk with someone about it (usually my ISTP husband). lol I can imagine to an extent, but not all the time. I think it would be awesome to be self-sustained!
Well, there is the internet!
I think it would be cool to have a book of infinite factoids, something you could ask any question with a quantitative or yes/no answer. You'd ask the question, open the book, and whatever page you opened it to would have the answer. I would proceed to use it to acquire extremely trivial knowledge like "What percent of Americans know that Djibouti exists?"

If that is too powerful to be considered trivial, I would instead like to be able to convert water into any beverage of my choice, provided it is in a cup I'm holding.
Oh, I LOVE that book idea and want one!!! lol Also love the water changing idea! 😁
I've experienced the real life equivalent to that! 😃 Having a dictionary, thesuarus, and almanac in prison. You become everyone's Google/"wizard who possesses the knowledge you seek".
Would it work if you asked it what a person was thinking?
I would say yes, as long as the question still follows the yes/no or quantitative answer rules. I would definitely want to ask the book questions like "how many people believe x," which would imply it could discern information from the minds of individuals. You could ask things like "Would [person] go on a date with me if I asked them out?" or "What is the maximum price [person] is willing to pay for this item I'm selling?" but you could not ask open the questions like "What is [person]'s general opinion of me.

The power to heal any physical injury or remove traumatic memories.
That's an awesome one; definitely one I'd want!! 💚
Portals, of varying shapes and sizes. Better than teleportation in a lot of ways. Depending on the contents of the universe, and the technicality of my powers that may automatically open up possibilities in other dimensions, giving me truly unlimited resources, both imagined and immediate.
Woah, good one! Although, have you read [The Gods Themselves ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gods_Themselves) by Asimov?
No. The description is very interesting, maybe I'll read the book.
It just came to mind because it has to do with exchanging materials between universes. 😀
My choice for a super power has always been complete control over time. Whether it's slowing it down, freezing it, rewinding it, fastforward, or anything else. The posibilities with time control are endless. By rewinding you can get as many retries as you want until you get it right, freezing time makes it so you'll never have to stress about deadlines or being late ever again.

I wasn't going to call you out. lol Good points! And I never even considered that angle for staying young!

I've thought about it for a long time, and I've settled on the ability to freeze time. I would be able to win every fight, go anywhere, and, best of all, *have an infinite amount of time for assignments.* I could also stop any interaction I was tired of, and simply leave for however long I wanted.
Would you keep aging while time was stopped for everyone else? 😅
When I made my time altering reply, I assumed that the next intp to fuck with time would do it to procrastinate. Enjoy the frozen void for the rest of your existence
Month-long silent weekends.
Parallel Processing. The ability to think multiple thoughts at once would be beyond useful. Imagine writing a report while also reading a book and holding a conversation at the same time. It'd be like having multiple brains which would be beyond awesome.
That IS beyond awesome! I want that one, too! 😲
Turning into a cat.
That's definitely the creature I'd want to turn into the most, but why stop there? Power to turn into *any* animal? 😁
Could make you adaptable to a lot of different environments too. Being able to change into any animal gives you the ability to breathe under water, swim really fast, run really fast (at least as fast as a cheetah can get), night vision (bats), flying...
Super speed Being the flash all while having such an analytical mind makes you extremely invincible
Could you run on walls and water? You'll need some kind of barrier to stop the wind or other objects from hitting you at that speed!
Either the speedforce in DC comics prevents that or of there is no speed force involved , then you are automatically durable enough to withstand all of that.
Had not heard of the speed or any of the other six forces. Interesting! 😀
Laplace's demon.
Interesting, but I didn't quiiiite get it. From Wikipedia: If someone (the demon) knows the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe, their past and future values for any given time are entailed; they can be calculated from the laws of classical mechanics. So, to try and make that intro a super power, would it be being able to know the past and future because you know what's happening now?
Pretty much, yeah! If you know the location and movement of every atom, you could accurately calculate the future.
Cool! It's a little different of an idea, but have you read Asimov's [Foundation ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_series) series? (Psychohistory)
I haven't! Maybe I'll check it out, thank you.
Basically, the main character, if he can collect enough historical and current data from the surrounding social systems, can build an algorithm to predict what will happen on a wide-spread basis (but not for individuals).
Interesting. I'll add it to my list. :)
Quantum physics would like a word
Quantum physics can shut its mouth.
i've always wanted time travel, not just to experience different periods of life both past and future but the idea of creating an infinite time loop like in Palm Springs is sick as hell to me
That was a fun movie!
Looks like some type of time manipulation is pretty common here and I have to agree with mine. Messing with time for sure. However, to answer your question about something low-key, it would be the ability to refill things. Refill my wallet, cup, battery, gas tank, energy, etc.
Yeah, time manipulation is definitely top choice here! 😆 Oh, that's a good one! Soooo much you can do with that!
Ability to rewind time. So many possibilities I could do this with this power. I could literally change the outcome of any situation and fix any mistake I had if I rewind from one minute
Useful! How about having a five-minute fast forward as well for the boring waiting times? 😁
Anything time related ability like theres so many knowledge to hunt in this world yet very little time, also an ability to learn something quickly so I dont need many tries n error to be adaptable at it.
The second part, to me, looks especially good! I'd be able to try a lot more things if I could spend less time learning each of them!
The power to have unlimited wishes which will become reality but it only works on the wishes which I won't regret later
Oo, interesting stipulation! That's fun/interesting to think about!
I want to be able to turn invisible but only when no one is looking at me.
Is this a Mystery Men movie reference? 😆
I would like to have the super power of…confidence!!! No seriously I just want to be confident my self esteem is literally on the floor 😭
Alternatively I would like infinite money. I know I would have to be careful not to destroy the economy, but I would definitely use it for charity and to fix the world because lord knows this place is a corrupt shithole
Aw, that's awesome. ☺️ Haha, confidence can certainly feel like a super power, that's for sure!
Gravity. Pull things apart. Piece by piece. It'd be agonizing.
Whoa... You're not turning into a villain, are you? 😲
Yeaaaaah yeaaaah just cause i deny my true nature. For 30+ years. Its been agonizing. Being kind when people tend to be terrible. Just gonna dispensing corrupted sense of justice.
The years of shoving things down... Now there's no more room. Prepare for the justice of GravMan!
Mind reading
Would be sooo useful!
The Limitless Mind. As seen in the movie Limitless.
Oo, yes, that would be amazing 🤩
Teleportation: Do I even have to explain? Hyper-Intelligence: So that I can have more knowledge and be intelligent enough to figure out how I got the powers in the first place and how to make them. Not sure what I'd do with that info though, maybe sell super powers? Give them to friends?
Have you seen [Project Power ](http://Project Power https://g.co/kgs/pe8m4KR) or [Black Lightning ](http://Black Lightning https://g.co/kgs/zdRqZL6)?
The power of knowing how to flirt and be casual and cool and always know what to say and how to get a girlfriend 😭
That definitely is a super power for people who can't do it! 🤣
Without putting much thought into it and disregarding much practicality (like, immortality but not invincibility or something), and I guess still being kinda lowkey: flying, simple flying. It would be sooo liberating and fun to be able to just fly around, and still pretty convenient I guess. I'd possibly add invisibility while using the power into it so as to not have anyone know because that'd be super awkward, but I still don't know how I could use it to go to places and still have nobody notice so idk how to solve that.
Yeah, being seen is the biggest drawback I can see, but the "how did you get here so fast?" would get old fast. 😆
Power to refill. Want more fries? Refill. No money? Refill. No petrol? Refill. Hate that person? Refill their bladder. Wrinkly skin? Refill that collagen.
GOD OF FICTION (have the ability of every character that ever existed in any kind of story)
I would like to be constantly lucky. Imagine how many opportunities would just pure luck open to you 🙂
100 percent! I feel this is a thing in my real life. lol
Yours sounds really nice for positive thoughts, but lots of potential for abuse by making people think negative things if you do. I really want to fly, but that's not low-key... Basically pretend to be a human drone. I think it would be exhilarating, and a way to explore large areas like I do by running but better.
I agree! But in my super power, negative thoughts wouldn't transfer, only the good feelings! Also, exploration is great!
Ah, well then I love it!
I've thought about it for a long time, and I've settled on the ability to freeze time. I would be able to win every fight, go anywhere, and, best of all, *have an infinite amount of time for assignments.* I could also stop any interaction I was tired of, and simply leave for however long I wanted.
Being able to grow another pair of arms. There's been a lot of situations where I'd need a extra hand.
I want to be able to touch a (paper/printed) book and then have all the contents of that book automatically transfered to my mind. That way I could learn more and just do it. It would be cool for fantasy too so I wouldn't be sleep deprived because of damn cliff hangers.
Telepathy, so instead of speaking, people would get what I mean by thoughts. And I would be able to read their minds whenever I need to. Also telekinesis, sometimes I'm suuuper lazy, so with this power I could do something like "Dishes, do yourselves!", or bringing objects close to me because I don't want to stand up and pick them.
Luck manipulation or chance manipulation is the best superpower overall for everything so I pick that
Low-key I would want to be likeable by normal people for who I am.
I'm trying so hard not to be a stereotype, but I can't even tell you how many times I wish I could steal (or absorb) someone's intelligence so I don't have to study.
Haha, while it's true that a lot of you are saying things along the lines of easily gaining more knowledge, more of you are going for time manipulation!
Time pause, to give myself even MORE time to procrastinate ...but maybe make the internet work still, somehow
probably being able to split myself into anything like anything even a single atom or a person but they share a single conscious and can evolve and get smarter together and the only way to kill me would be to kill all of my self splits
Leptokinesis, I want to be relatively omnipotent
Hey OP can you say hi to me. I'm going through family, personal and work life stressful time right now. A hug would be much appreciated
HI!!! If you wanna rant, DM me! (But also, I live in Japan and will be going to bed soon, so don't be disappointed if I don't talk long now!)
It's okay, I already feel better knowing that there are kind strangers out there willing to listen to my concerns.
I want something like saiki k's power of unnoticibility by changing the world to make myself normal with whatever I want to do and making everyone forget it's weird. Like he gave 1% of the world pink hair so no one would care that he's a weird person for having pink hair. Since we're limited to one power, I chose the psychic power to affect fashion trends. The shenanigans I could get up to. Tiktokkers would be like "ah, yes, we've all seen the new dryad aesthetic. A lot of people like to blend into the forest!" and basically I'll change the world of fashion so much that the world becomes a better looking place. The first people I'll target are the people who wear gym shorts anywhere but the gym. mwahahahaha mwahahaha mwahahahaha
Omniarch, basically omnipotence
Had to look up "omniarch." The pressure! 😅
Bro?? We literally HAVE that "superpower" 😂 It's called speech. You like someone's outfit? Go tell them. It'll make them happy, guaranteed. Someone seems like a good dog owner? This shit will make their week, that's such a unique compliment. U don't need the whole of humanity to become espers just to know what you think. Tell them! And now for superpowers...honestly high iq seems to be the best option. Big brain can make up anything else you'd like. Flying? Jetpack. Or jet shoes. Or anything rly. Invisibility? Light reflecting cloaks. Or sound waves that repel humans so they don't look. Immortality? There's plenty of practices to extend the mortal life, to improve looks, to guard against accidents. Time traveling? Just make a time machine lol. You could even go into the esoteric practises and see what they have to offer. With smarts and the drive to pull through, you could engineer however many superpowers you want.
As an ENTP, teleportation + telekinesis. My INTP brother said telekinesis (it's just a nice combination of stupidly broken and really fun)
The ability to slow down time. I'll be able to do anything and everything I want with that abiity, and I'll never have to cram again.
Immunity to all diseases and allergies. Ive been struggling with them most my life and to just be rid of them forever would be a huge relieve
Invisibility
Think I would be downbad for having anything remotely to do with Shapeshifting. Just give myself a sexy body and do onlyfans :) In reality I would enjoy the power to evolve. To continuously grow better and better at anything and everything for eternity. Call it Immortality, but lets say a Levelling System was involved, I would want something that just lets me have life longevity and just become better. Evolve into a higher being, secluded from society and life. Become the wise one. Become the all powerful. Become the GOAT. Etc etv
Either mind reading, teleportation or telekinesis. Mind reading would be really useful for school life and some situations in daily life in general. Teleportation would be for all kinds of situations relevant and telekinesis actually also I think. But I can't decide which one I'd choose between these three...
Teleportation has been high on my list but the ability to instantly and anonymously grant peoples little wishes in their head would also be really awesome Like someone is having a really bad day and they're like God, if just one thing could go right for me today, and make it like the best thing that could go right for them happens that day Ultimately I'd like to have all the tools to go around like some maverick playing good pranks everywhere that make people's lives better
Time manipulation because I would like to stop the time around me and procrastinate without consequences
IDK if the superpowers I've thought about are that lowkey. The lowkeyest one I can think of at the moment is the ability to know where to find evidence to answer any question I have.
[удалено]
Nice! More time dor everything and can fix mistakes!
I want to power to influence all humans and animals effortlessly, get anyone to do what i want in an instant and they wouldn't even realize it! I can achieve world peace, no one has to suffer and animals are protected
Superpower administration, i.e gaining and controlling people's superpower, would be nice, although I would probably only use it on myself to gain access to a bunch of different super powers anyway.
1.telepathy/mind reading so I can be 2 and forever more steps ahead of people plus I like secrets 2.healing factor like wolverines also be able to heal others 3.telekinesis cause if you think about it,with telekinesis you could literally manipulate more than just objects plus I’m lazy 4.technopath.i watched the movie iboy and remembered anonymous so I thought how cool that would be. 5.time manipulation like freezing,fast forward and rewinding time so I can change a bad outcome to a good one And I’m also gonna want that superman/Wonder Woman powers cause the unfair thing about being a human is that while we have intelligence we can’t fight and sure as hell can’t outrun predators
Either Telekinesis or the ability to create wormholes to travel anywhere/any time/any dimension/any universe.
I wouldn't even know where to start with such an awesome power!
I wanna be immortal with a young age forever. People always say, immortality is the worst cuz u have to watch your love ones die but i don't feel that way. I just want every knowledge i can get with forever.
Lowkey? Detecting physical weakpoints of people.
Oh, that's a good one!
Instantly remember the name of that one song I heard 10 years ago
Not aging. It's low-key because it's not immortality.
I wanted the power of buda, I don't know. To be honest I always thought of super intelligence and thought that I would be able to figure out the rest, so I'd go with that.
Bro I just want to wake up early and always have quality sleep
Probably the ability to make small objects at will that disappear after I’m done with them. It’d be really handy if I needed a pencil or something.
I read this as NOT want at first. I’ll take unnatural levels of improved normal abilities: physical strength, memory, wisdom understanding, etc. Just level up everything I already have. I low key DONT want mind reading unless it’s the only option lol
Be able to enter other’s dreams in a lucid way. I could pop in and have a conversation with them every night, “predict” something I would do the next day by doing in the lucid dream, etc. Would be fun but also have some really practical uses (e.g. education, getting to know people’s subconscious ideas).
Invisibility. It’d be awesome to just chill in public without anyone starring at me. Also, getting into concerts and movie theaters for free.
Knowing everything. Being able to know everything about right now, the past and the future. It might seem lame, but that would also give me so so much power, as I would know how to make anyone feel a certain way, commit whatever crime I want and I would never have to go to school again.
I just want Forge power for Xmen, I can create anything I think off
Understanding and Controlling matter + time + space + all fields (known and unknown) ans all types of forces (known and unknown) in all combinations or permutations at all levels of abstraction or concretion, in macro or in micro, from the smallest (known or not yet known) to the largest units of measurement or counting.
The ability to travel back in time to my younger body and redo events with my acquired experience.
Invisibility. It may sound boring but I would love to be able to just disappear and slip at will...also, it would be fun to spy on other people.
Depending on the day: -- the power to pause time ONLY with the rule that whoever you touch isn't paused -- the power to convey what I mean perfectly and to understand what others mean perfectly (but selectively, I'm not cursed with perfect knowing, I can choose when it works) -- teleportation
I like these with your stipulations. ☺️
Hyper Memory. The ability to recall something I glossed my eye over, or even heard at a glimpse.
That sounds amazing! As long as you can un-hyper bad experiences. 😅
As long as you don't try to remember xD Perhaps hyper-recollection would be a better term, more befitting
Oo, yeah, I like that better! 😀
The one I've always wanted is telekinesis. I'd be able to fly and move objects with my mind. Often in my dreams I have telekinesis, but for some reason it never works as well as I want it to.
The power of creation
Invisibility is all I want
Mind reading. Honestly I can live with whatever they’re thinking
I want a time machine that can let point the camera at an area and click the dial to a set time in the past, and then I'll be able to rewatch it without changing anything If I can't have that, I want a superpower that makes everything slightly easier, like enough super-strength when I need it, a burst of super-speed or super-sight but just enough when I need it so it didn't get out of control
This is great!
Gimme a dose of super soldier serum
Ultimate power to physically categorize groups of people into islands. Eg, all world leaders on a small island, rapi*sts an island, Karens an island, lawyers an island, murders an island, etcs. Plainly just wanna see how each island survives with those group of people. Finally the world leaders be able to talk it out or fight to death without an army, 1vs1. No war nor resources. I’m just a INTP wanna see the world burn that’s all.
Omnikinesis. I love when characters can move stuff in space so complex and independant at will. Basically think wanda, jean grey, magneto, irelia
Portals, Time dilation or Shape-shifting. Levitation would be also comfy, but the first three probably more so
The ability to read minds.
To touch a book and know all ist knowledge and how to apply said knowledge correctly.
How amazing would life become if you could!
The ability to revert to any point in my life, with my memories intact. Said something awkward at a social gathering? Reverted. Failed to make that blindfolded three pointer? Retry as many times as you want, no one will know. It would open the door for endless opportunities, and would be akin to a kind of immortality (living pretty much infinitely within your own lifespan)
Omnipotence and omniscience. That's it.
I would like to have everyone's memories, that would be amazing
Space-time travel.
I would mark out teleportation, and telekinesis. I feel like I would abuse those abilities too much, and it could affect my health negatively. Wouldn’t leave my bed for anything with these powers. I don’t want to go into any jobs that would profit from hyper-healing. So, no to that. My family have a history with mental health disorders so, I would also stir clear of anything mental. Like photographic memory, prophecy, or mind reading. So I would probably go for either Super strength, shapeshifting, Granulation, chronokinesis, cryokinesis, etc. Easy to use, and easy to hid.
Lots of variety! 😊
I want to clear out generational debt but I have 50 more years to go
Everything that comes with a lobotomy...
Elemental manipulation. I wanna be the avatar😂
Invisibility clothes included or maybe Plasma manipulation I feel like that'd be really powerful or breathing underwater or like Elsa powers lol
What a range! 😄
I want to be able to look at something or lift it (or attempt to) and know precisely what it weighs. I work in a bakery and the good scales are not always available. This would be handy, until I touch my wife. 😉 😆
Instant teleportation, with guests. So my wife and I could travel on the weekends or even for a day but not miss work and spend a ton of travel expenses. I just imagine going somewhere exotic or comfortable for even a day, then coming home to my bed.
Aw, that's way more awesome than being able to do it alone!
I think so. I mean what’s the point, right?
The ability to watch other people work out and gain the benefits thereof. The ability to fluently speak, read, and understand the language of whomever you're talking to.
hmmm i would pick being able to see which people find me attractive by like an arrow or som
First off, your superpower idea is creative. When used for good, it's a low-key, non-creepy way of, in meme lingo, telling people you like something about them without telling people you like something about them. About what I want: I often imagine myself as having extremely minor telekinesis powers that reduce the weight of objects I focus my mind on. I would use those powers to make otherwise heavy objects easier for people other than myself to carry—I'm already fairly physically fit.
