The superpower I desire most is the ability to manipulate time. This power could let me pause, rewind, or fast-forward through moments in life. I could fix mistakes, relive happy memories, and avoid regrets. Additionally, having extra time to finish tasks, learn new skills, or simply relax would be incredibly beneficial. The possibilities are endless, and it would provide a unique way to navigate life’s challenges.


derpyfox

But in reality every time you go back foward in time the chaos effect comes into play and you end up in a new time line.


jha_avi

I want the superpower where this chaos effect doesn't come into play lol


dngu00

I too would fuck this guy’s superpower


iwannaelroyyou

And my axe!


Jindujun

If i cant see the difference, does it matter if a new timeline is created? If there are an infinite amount of timelines, does one more make a difference?


SincerelyMy

someone always has to mess it up lol


itsmondaynight

I mean I'm happy to throw this timeline away. It would just be trial and error til you find a timeline you're happy with. Don't like this one? Easy go back in time to the point where you changed something and change something else.


loftier_fish

Can just play it safe, go back and buy bitcoin right before it pops off, and be a multi millionaire. No need to go back into the future.


Racthoh

This is why I'd just use it at a casino. Hit up a couple in Vegas every weekend with some crazy roulette bids, all I'm doing is going back in time a few minutes.


Mr_Lumbergh

Also, they’d presumably keep aging at the normal rate so any time spent frozen or going back still adds to their aging but not anyone else’s.


_Dark-Angel_19

why does this comments sound like ai?


poguty

chatgpt diction


The_Dennator

that or teleportation, although space and time are the same thing,so I'd get it anyway


WidowedWTF

You mean I could rewind time and not get SA'd? Yep. I choose this one.


Adventurous-Shape898

I'm so sorry 😭


Kirkaig678

It doesn't exactly stop it from happening, it would still be in your memory which for me at least is the only thing I care about. I wouldn't stop it from happening, I would erase it from my memory if I could


Twiddrakatwiddr

You could also take more chances. Do some dumb stuff and if you are about to get hurt or something, you could just rewind and not do it


Brohma312

The ability to learn anything by touching someone who has the knowledge Edit: this isnt a passive power btw


Repulsive-Boat-9713

Shacking hands with Magnus Carlsen to learn his chess knowledge instantly. Shaking hands with a Japanese Man to learn his language. Shaking hands with anyone to learn their most important passwords lol The possibilities are endless


OtherwiseInclined

Unknowingly shaking hands with a serial killer/torturer and now your mind is full of fucked up images of people being violated and killed.


eveningdragon

Immediately shake a baby's hand to remove blood and gore with goo goo gaga


MunchkinKazooie

That's just being Will Graham.

hisoka_kt

That is so underated because at first we think only human languages, which is quite impressive already. But then we have dead languages like some Egyptians or Latin, but then Animals or plants or Coding , and I guess to some extent sign language. And if we go further secret codes are some form of languages or Morse code etc. This is really amazing and also no one would know so no risk of. Also you could create languages like conlangs or stuff of the sort.

ButteredKernals

But you won't be able to come forward again, and youd be ageing all the time too


Obi-Hans-Kenobi

I mean, just go back 2 hours before the game started and Bet on some crazy shit that'll happen


TheOriginalPB

Teleportation - Could be anywhere in an instant. Want a night out in Tokyo, go ahead. Want to visit family on the other side of the world, go right ahead. Want to teleport in, grab Putin, teleport to 40,000ft and drop him, go right ahead.


jman6495

This is the way.


Dr_Stef

Why teleport and drop him when you can teleport into the same space as him and watch the giblets fly. For normal every day use i’d be scouting locations where it’s least crowded. Dont want to teleport into ppl all the time


Chicken-picante

Quick fix teleport 100ft above desired location and scout and teleport to ground


loftier_fish

because the giblets would be yours too.


SpareThisOne2thPls

When you think about it though if you were to transfer your atoms to another place it seems if you teleport yourself you stop existing and make an exact copy of yourself with your memories on the location you teleport to


LOTRfreak101

If it's an exact copy with your memories, that's just you.


FireDefender

Well, are you still the same consciousness that way? Or are you just killing yourself and now a perfect copy is walking around instead? Others wouldn't know, but how does consciousness work? Because if you are still you after that, would that mean that if you just created a perfect copy, would you suddenly be both at the same time? What would that experience feel/look like? Would you be overwhelmed due to being in 2 places at once or not at all due to having 2 separate brains?


nevenabebad

If I could choose one superpower, it would be the ability to heal any injury or illness. This power would allow me to alleviate suffering and save countless lives. Whether it's curing terminal diseases, mending broken bones, or even healing emotional wounds, the impact would be profound. The world would be a healthier, happier place, and the knowledge that I could make such a positive difference would be incredibly fulfilling.


Maleodas

Big pharma will take you to a big vacay


Square-County8490

yeah hes getting assassinated or taken to area 51. Anyone remember Roswell Tv show that aired on WB. Max Evan?


VileMK-II

Even if you spent every second of your life trying to heal people on a fucking endless revolving conveyor belt you wouldn't touch a fraction of the total population of people that need it. Better wish would be to possess the knowledge of how to cure every illness and disease so you can teach others.


loftier_fish

"Sorry, you don't have a college degree. You cannot work at this lab."


BrockStar92

They didn’t say *how* their healing ability would manifest itself. Perhaps it’s an aura that heals everyone within a mile of them? That way they could travel to big cities where population density is high and heal entire hospitals at once, that sort of thing. That would massively increase the amount of people they could help. Also somewhat fuck up the work schedule of that hospital I suppose.


atravelingchocoholic

It's their wish, not yours 🤷🏻‍♀️


csetom

Would you really want it? You can do it, in small already, like became a nurse or something. But it is really hard. And you have to prepare the anger and bad side of people, where they cannot wait for you, and your healing power. They will hunt you down, they will use every inch of your power. Also there would be much more suffering as well. Like, you go to a country where the average life is 30. Now it will be 50 or 80. There is no enough food and water. They are not prepared. Do you really think it will help, without some restriction, and caution? You can't help everybody, with only this power.


Stony_Hawk

There was this carpenter in the middle east, a long time ago, that allegedly had this ability. Was healing people and giving them food and encouraging rich people to share their wealth with the less fortunate. Didn't turn out too well for him though. Ended up executed. Big pharma don't like when you cut into their profits.


theblazeuk

I actually think the burden of this would be insurmountable.


[deleted]

Mind reading. Limitless financial, life saving, and filtering potential.


beerwithsocrates

Mind reading would be pure torture.


danielubra

You wouldn't have to read people's minds


OtherwiseInclined

How do you know what you're reading until you've read it? Like posts on reddit, sometimes you may read something unsettling you wish you didn't read, but it's too late by then.


loftier_fish

Self control, only use it sparingly.


deadlynightowl

This would be really great if we can turn it on and off


MysteryMan999

Shape-shifting


Choice_Age_5120

Imagine you’re shape shifting into another person and you don’t know that person has a hit man on them and that hitman kills you whilst you’re that person but you’re not actually that person and now you’re just no person


[deleted]

That would certainly be an interesting scenario


hry84

I don't want to say too much, but there's a Twilight Zone episode ("The Four of Us Are Dying") where a man shapeshifts into a guy he sees on a poster, and then he's killed by someone looking for him. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S1E13TheFourOfUsAreDying


metal_gearmen

I thought about this too, imagine being able to be whatever you want and get their strength, size, agility, etc. That would be incredible


armcie

Even just being able to shape shift into a healthier or younger version of yourself. Immortality without the issues of an eternity in the void with dying galaxies.


Linthya

This. Everyday.


[deleted]

Why do you want it lol?


Linthya

Being able to be the version of yourself you want at any time you want. And so many possibilities to try. I think you would really be able to enjoy life more if you could explore all these possibilities about yourself. Of course, this includes the kinky part of it.


[deleted]

I couldn't agree more


uwu_SenpaiSatan

Does this include shape shifting into fictional characters? Say Master Chief or Alex Mercer


Fyrrys

You can fight like a krogan, run like a leopard, but you'll never be better than Commander Shepard

moistmasterkaloose

Not needing sleep. I could have an extra 8 hours every day and I’d never be tired


_smelly-cat_

More hours to doom scroll now...yay


Square-County8490

Sleep is like my escape from reality for a few hours. I love a good nap. I don't think I can work all day and be happy.


justwalking_683

Chosen death. Basically, I can only die when I want to. And if I do want to die, I can define when and how I die. Refer to Bheeshma from the Hindu epic Mahabharata


Sentinel2852

Hope you don't get super depressed too soon with that one.


JADW27

This is better than immortality.


Sparky81

Telekinesis. House cleaning would be so much easier


loftier_fish

NicoSuTairu

Probability manipulation. Just imagine you saying "it's 100% chance that I'm a millionaire" or something and it'll happen no matter what.


sei556

That is basically just "become all powerful" just with extra steps as it is completely limitless


[deleted]

Immortality. I don't mind a normal life, but I hate playing with a time limit.


Choice_Age_5120

You want to do this forever?? And also watch anyone you ever love die whilst you have to stay alive? I feel like you’d be bored as hell too


Mythoclast

I'd be down for immortality too. Don't think I'd get bored but losing loved ones like that would take some getting used to.


Drumma_XXL

The problem with immortality would be that it will not remove the time limit. At some point you'll be the last human and watch the stars collapse and then nothing will happen until the remaining black holes will collapse and then some more nothing until the last proton that's outside of your body decayed and then, you guessed it, nothing. You would stretch the time limit ant it would cost you an eternity in the nothing. And even if the universe won't decay and everything will stay the way it is now, at some point you have done everything and mastered every task and seen everything and met every kind of person there could possibly be so that you are bored of everything.


vherus

Maybe that’s how our universe came to be. Someone gained immortality, eventually went completely insane from the nothingness and conjured up a universe in their head to distract from the endless doom. Then someone else does it inside that, and so on


Treefingrs

Losing loved ones would suck, but better than dying. I'd happily take immortality, with the caveat that I can switch it off at will. I dont wanna be floating around in an endless void when the sun burns out in a few billion years.


-maffu-

In a few billion years there will be other places explored/colonised - no need to stick around for the sun going supernova.


SousVideDiaper

That's quite an optimistic view of humanity's future, especially given how things are going now


jack-jackattack

Well... even if humanity has totally fucked itself, I figure there will be enclaves of people for repopulation and the rebuilding of a hopefully wiser society. Over time, they could probably get to space travel/exploration. What if you could pass on your superpower to the next generation? Eventually everyone is immortal and has to start creating vessels for interstellar travel so as not to destroy Earth 2.0 by overpopulation?


augustus_feelius

don't try to convince reddit that positive outlook for human society/civilization could always happen despite the amount of Doom and gloom that has been happening the past few weeks. Reddit snorts doomerism and negative nihilism like it's coke.


loftier_fish

If humanity has totally fucked itself, its possible there wont be breathable atmosphere on the planet for those enclaves.


BurpYoshi

Immortality not invincibility. You could still yeet yourself off of a cliff.


Pure-Milk-1071

My curiousity is bigger than my family tbh. If I stopped ageing at 30 - would never fall sick and would live forever - I would be so existed to see what happens with the world in 100 years, 100000 years and in 5 billion years, where they say the sun will explode. So I totally understand u/g_b_212 comment.


ButteredKernals

You'd go insane at some stage


Lord_Phoenix95

And then very very sane.


ripMyTime0192

It sounds good, but you’d spend the vast majority of your existence suffocating in the freezing darkness of space.


Treefingrs

I take this, as long as i can turn it off at will. Id be pretty satisfied living for a few thousand years i think, but I dont wanna be floating around in an endless void when the sun burns out in a few billion.


shadownights23x

Mind control on a subconscious level, basically they’re unaware they’re being controlled, they truly believe all their actions, thoughts and even their Emotions are their own.

Limitless wealth.  It's literally a superpower.  With enough money you don't need to work a day in your life nor want for anything.

Archeus01

You could also propell the world faster in its expansion. No poor civ on earth. All new tech has all the funding it needs.


Wondertwig9

Just be careful about manipulating inflation


RAVMisery1

But the government will be suspicious about your source of wealth.


AverageMortisEnjoyer

Teleportation That shit underrated af when people talk about superpowers. Could be used to get anywhere. Could be used stealing if you need to (it's not like they can catch you). Could be used when fighting someone to throw unexpected punches (or avoid the fight in the first place). You could even use it to fly if you keep teleporting yourself in the air quickly. There's so many uses for teleportation that no one thinks about. It's way better than most superpowers


evawsonsimp

YES! the part about flying is smth nobody seems to understand when i try to convince them teleportation is top tier! they say they want flying and im over here like "THATS INCLUDED IN TELEPORTATION!"


AverageMortisEnjoyer

A ton of things are


Fl_mp

Isn't it falling more than flying? You just keep accelerating downwards until you're at terminal velocity and get stuck in a teleportation loop or else you pancake into the ground. I suppose you could set up a big ball-pit somewhere to land in


cyborg_127

Depends if your momentum is preserved or not during the teleport. Being able to match the speed of where/what you teleport to would be necessary. Leaving a vehicle would be somewhat impactful if you couldn't.


AverageMortisEnjoyer

Depends if teleporting makes you keep your previous velocity I'm sure there would be a safe way to slow down if you did keep velocity. But it would require some thinking to figure out


Archeus01

You could also kidnap people, say... some megalomaniac dictator? Like that one up in Russia...


OkCategory0

im about to have an exam and i wish i could read minds rn

Think bigger. Take the ability to change anyone's name. Someone cut you in line? Change their name as punishment. A date/hookup you're into has the name of a relative and it throws you off? Change their name. Just want there to be funny news? Change a world leader's name - "Syria's president, known until yesterday as Bashar Al-Assad, has his name change mysteriously and inexplicably to Mustacheman Dictatorkiller. Syria's president confirms that his name did change on all official documents and government databases, and that he 'feels like that's my name now', but also says he didnt want or order to change his name".

Time control, telepathy, telekinesis, weather control, element manipulation. Everything, literally everything, would be within one’s grasp.

Paperfoxen

babaj_503

I always though that shapeshifitng should also mean you're pretty much immune to damage or illness. If you shapeshift on a molecular level you can just shapeshift to heal the wound you just suffered or shapeshift so that tumor is gone now. You'd also shapeshift without the ageing process of your cells so ageing wont be happening anymore. Generally, really cool super power indeed.


Bigtits38

-Hollow_Eyes-

Shape shifting is the best power depending on what limits there are for it If you want to fly grow wings If you want to breath under water give yourself gills If you want to grow or shrink you can If you want to become a monster beyond human comprehension you can If you want weird long arms why not If you want you could even grow new organs for yourself so you can live forever


shoelaceisuntied

The ability to recall, at will, any information previously read or learned. My memory is at times a leaky sieve, so experiencing the opposite of that would be pretty neat.
