Evaporation requires energy. It would cool the surrounding air as the thermal energy of the air moves down the energy gradient to the cooler substance and warms it. As is usually the case, things become cold when in contact with cold things. That's thermodynamics for you.


Come on, WOF, think straight.

D= Months of sleep deprivation and years of physics deprivation are finally taking their toll.

I call comic book physics on this! Besides, even if it was environmentally reproachable it would still be bloody cool

You could freeze people by absorbing their energy, and then channelling it into you escape plan. A bit like Darth Vader absorbing laser bolts and using their energy to fuel the telekinetic disarming of Solo.

The atoms would have to come from somewhere. The matter generators would strip down garbage and reform it into desirable products. Like a lifesize, blowup, Marcus doll.

Not for me, of course. But I'm sure I could find someone who would very much like that as a gift.

I could use one of those...


But still. Jesus Christ. I thought I'd seen the weirdest the forum has to offer.

Hardly, BM.

On second thought, one would require matter generation and matter anihilation for things to even out in the long run.

Perhaps WOF should have implied that his ability would include the ability to cause Nuclear Fusion without massive amounts of heat and pressure, though I'm not actually sure on the intensity/safety of causing Nuclear Fission.

ooo, yeah, and I would have one that let me roast peanuts to the finest degree. Like a werid 'roast peanut' vision or something.

X-ray vision, so I could look through all the cute boys' clothes. Did I say boys? Heh, I meant girls. I mean, of course I did. Why would I want to see through.... a boys'..... umm... What was I saying? Damn it.

"Oh my God! Everyone's a skeleton naked!"

Lawl, the skeletal people are invading! *noes*

That's starting to become annoying, BM. You know what he means.

I would have the ability to morph into any animal. (Wait, is that considerd a 'super power'?)

See, that way I could fly or swim or sneek into places, and do just about anything really. Hehe.

I think his post was as much a joke as mine was but thanks for sticking up for me. Such a sweet boy/girl/whatever you are.

I would like to change;lsdmfklajflwepo;qlr.

Please.

He/She/It's a salamander. That's one step closer to not solving the mystery.



Again, gravity control. Or plant control. Making a fucking rose tear someone's dick off every morning would be my equivalent to a cup of orgasm. Or a gallon. Depends on my mood.

Transformation sounds good to me :D.

Invisibility, aka 'Super Pervert Powers'.

The Infinite Power Of The Spiral.

DRILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS

I'd stop Global Warming, deforestation and polluting water.

Me too i HATE pollushion. (sorry about the miss spelling)

How do you spell that wrong? It's RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU IN ABE IS NOW!'s POST.

This is a superpower thread, not a Miss America pagaent. Humph Galumph Harumph!

I'd have the power to beat other people's children and not get in trouble. NO I JOKE! I'd have the power to... maybe fly, however lame that is. Like a bird.

No, wait... I wish I had the power to converse with inanimate objects. I would love to talk to trees, or rocks or rivers or subway cars or billboards or speakers or boots or cameras or trash bins... that would be most excellent. Each one would have such a unique perspective on things. I bet trash cans wouldn't be nearly as lame as everyone would assume. Shit. Yeah. I want to talk to stuff. Hmmm.

That's my cue, I'ma go take a walk.

The power to absorb Carbon Dioxide from the air and convert it into pure Carbon and Oxygen.

1. Carbon = Diamond.

2. Sell diamonds for much moneys!

3. ???

4. Profit!!!

If I could have a superpower, it would be to turn invisible. I would sneak into people's houses at night, act like a ghost, and scare the crap out of everybody. Or i'd just loot em'.
I'm an entrepreneur that way.

Technically, if you are invisible you should also be blind, or else your retinas would cast a shadow. Your cornea and lenses would not focus any light either.

It's magic BM. Logic not come in to it.

So, with another super power, he'd take special glasses so he could see.

Invisible glasses?

:dodgy:

¿Qué? No comprende.

Yes, invisible glassess for invisible eyes and especially for this "kind" of eyes: ... we're talking about super powers, aren't we?

It's funny, I can accept that there would be some way to gain and use these powers in this hypothetical scenario, and that (in the invisibility case) light is either bending around a person or passing through unhindered, but I can't accept the inherent contradictions within those powers.

If light is passing through or around you, it's energy is not being transferred into the proteins of the light-sensitive cells in the retina and stimulating an active potential in the optical nerves. In other words, you are not seeing anything. If you are seeing anything, then this must be taking place, meaning that the energy that would otherwise be illuminating an object is being absorbed by the retina, thus casting a shadow.

Anything is possible if you just believe.
*shot'd*

I think BM's ultra technical explanation is the best thing I have ever read... but we're talking about SUPER POWERS...

Superpowers are fine, so long s they make some coherent sense. Spider-man gets through his own body mass in webbing several times each trip across the city, but I can accept that with comic-book physics. Sighted invisibility, though, is just weird.

I kept trying to think of something to type in here until I finally decided that if it's this fucking hard it isn't worth it. This forum needs some better threads.

This forum needs some better members than you.

Wow. Thanks, buddy.
