For example:
- You can fly but you can never stop flying
- You can turn invisible, but never be seen again
hmmmm, “plot armor” sounds nice to be always on.

What is MP3
A widely used digital audio format that allows for compression which can reduce the file size by around 85% with only a minor loss in quality
LOL well played
The OP I replied to.
Cumberboi was his name and he mentioned nothing about mp3 so I still don’t know what you are talking about
Oh well fuck me I replied to the wrong thing! Disregard my idiocy.
Lol no problem
Just stay fit
I would want the superpower of linguistics: the ability to fluently read, speak, and understand any language ever spoken or will be spoken.
So you want to be Cypher?
I had never heard of Cypher before, but yes. Just like that.
Soundly you here the suffering of animals around you
I guess in combination with the ‘can’t stop it’ twist that would mean that you can’t stop talking in these old and random languages. So people will think you’re crazy and you’ll end up in some kind of mental illness hospital.
He is saying being fluent and able to understand it too. So never stops means he can’t ever forget a language, as I’m interpreting it.
How is that different from ‘being able to fly’ or ‘being able to turn invisible’? My understanding of OP’s twist is that you don’t have full control over your ability but that the skill is permanently active.
you mean I can’t stop talking and I’m super annoying or I can shut up and use a phone app.
Sixth sense/ Intuition
Everyone within my earshot has to tell the truth.
Works with TV, radio. Any real time communication.
I think this should also work on myself
I would use this power to make a communist organization of my choice completely immune to infiltration
Imagine an America without COINTELPRO
I’ll take Mr. Manhattan’s power set for 500, Alex. Oh yeah, its naked time.
You just wanna be blue.

Shapeshifting. It’s what I wanted anyway and I can always just be continuously toggling the length of my little toenail to be 1mm longer or shorter.
Hell yeah, I get to choose my boob size, and I can have my hair changing colors like in Terraria!
I would have the power to be naturally skilled at anything I do and having it always activated would be a bonus.
Jack of All Trades Activated
You are now naturally skilled at all tasks but will never be considered a master in any discipline
That’s fine, I wouldn’t be a master at anything anyway really, just pretty okay
I’d take it. Truly mastering any single skill is almost certainly beyond my ability anyway.
I’m only okay at some things so being okay at all things is a total win.
Just a bater now can no longer make yourself cum
It’s ok I do house repair for handjobs
How pedantic do we get to be? Like, I’d be fine with flying because I could just hover a millimeter from the ground instead of standing, I would think
Hmm I think anything is fine really hah. I feel like it’d get weird never being able to touch the ground again, like I’d feel so detatched from things
Technically, you can fly towards the ground while being upright(unless the feet are the sole thrusters), to get that feel, right?
Good point. If you fly feet forward towards the ground with an acceleration of 9,81 m/s2 it should feel pretty much like normal standing with gravity.
Flyings fine as long as I have variable velocity.
That’s like Arthur Dent’s girlfriend Fenchurch.
Just don’t travel through hyperspace.
My stepson asks all kinds of questions like this and highly scientific pedantry is my go-to move.
“Technically if you were invisible, your retinas would stop working, so I’d go with flight.”
Sometimes pedantry is beautiful
“I forgot one thing about the guy who had gained the ability to fly - it was actually only for a foot or two, and only an inch or so high”

Easy: Max out luck. Literally no downsides
Luck is not an infinite resource, meaning that when ever you get lucky, somebody else won’t. So you’ll actively will siphon luck from people around you. Good luck with the loneliness, no pun intended
You luckily have an abbreviation in your DNA that means your tellemeres don’t shorten. You can’t age. You reach 87000 years old. Humans have gone extinct. You are trapped alone on a dead earth. You try to shoot yourself but the gun misfires. You jump off w cliff, but a sudden updraft catches you and you land safely. In this multiverse, luck is now objective.
meh. Id be optimistic that an alien ship would pick me up to experience even more amazing things.
I luckily found a way to end myself in that scenario or I luckily never experienced that in the first place and had a wonderful life. Luck very subjective to the person that’s why there’s no drawbacks to it
Good point, if you’re 100% subjectively lucky, not only you would have that ‘live-forever DNA’ but also everyone else that you’d wish for, i.e. all your loved ones. And if you were looking for a new friend or partner, you’d always find a perfect match immediately.
I guess such an ability might have severe negative consequences for the part of the universe you dislike or don’t care about. But from a purely egocentric point of view, I can’t see any drawbacks at the moment.
I think defining luck could be weird. Is it lucky to not die when I want to? Or lucky to do so in a more humane, less painful or instantaneous way?
I would choose to have the power to turn off superpowers and then I’d try turning off my superpower and see what happens.
What if breathing out only is your superpower

What if breathing is your superpower
No, I mean turning off the superpower of turning off superpowers that can’t be turned off.
What if breathing in only is your superpower

This is pretty simple though right?
Healing factor - always-on healing.
Healing factor - always-on healing.
Don’t we already have that?
Not for everything and not good enough though.
Especially for something as complex as mental illnesses/trauma your body has hardly any ability to heal by itself.
Though then we can get pedantic: How long should you feel down when someone you love died? Because I don’t consider it a bad thing for something like this to take a while before healing. It’d suck to attend their funeral having completely healed already.
Sometimes the always on healing works so good cells start doing things like reactivating telomerase and ignoring the signals for programmed cell death and become cancer, sometimes turning effectively immortal.
That’s basically psoriasis.

Deadpool?
What if there’s an earthquake and you get stuck under a mountain of rubble? Could take months for you to get out of there. How about a skiing accident involving an avalanche? Could take even longer. When you are completely immortal, you suddenly start to view certain risks in a very different way.
How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?
Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.
Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.
Always on healing includes mental health :)
Have you not read the hundreds of stories about people unable to die?
Boom. cancer. Now you’re deadpool
