Maybe if there was like, a hibernate for a few hundred years function, so you could just catch some Zs during the boring parts.

Yeah, but what about when humanity evolves in to something dissimilar to yourself? Or when humanity is wiped out, leaving you on a bare rock to entertain yourself for the billions of years until the sun explodes, leaving you floating out in space for several more billions of years until the universe rips itself apart?

Sudoku? helps pass the time.

I think if it's all the same to you guys I might just choose to spit acid. Shapeshifting is simply more trouble than it's worth.

Good luck with those cavities.

It's not exactly multiverse travel, though, is it?

Running low on cash? Grab some from an alternate you.
Want some more of your favourite salty snack? Alternate universe. Also ponies.

It's the ultimate power. Want immortality? Well, I'm sure there's a universe out there that can make you immortal.
It's basically the "If you had one wish, wish for infinite wishes" of superpowers.

Firstly, you might expect that alternate you would use his own multiverse jumping to come beat you up.

Secondly, depending on the number of universes, you would expect this to have happened already anyway.

Nepsotic 04-14-2013 12:52 PM

It's the multiverse, simply steal money from a you who doesn't have multiverse travel.

Mac Sirloin 04-15-2013 12:08 PM

My problem with duplication is that if I had a dream where I decided to make a hundredthousandmillionbilliontrilliongazillion hamburgers, but did so in real life it would create a gravity well and peel the skin right off the universe.

MeechMunchie 04-15-2013 03:49 PM

Just duplicate another universe

Nepsotic 04-15-2013 10:34 PM

You won't be able to travel to it, though.

Crashpunk 04-16-2013 01:04 AM

The ability to Teleport to any place, as long you obviously know where it is. I might of said that just because I'm sick of using the bus.

Phylum 04-16-2013 01:20 AM

Try living in Adelaide.

If I had a superpower it would be the ability to make buses, if not all public transport, run on time at will.

MeechMunchie 04-16-2013 11:27 AM

Would that include the ability to delay services and make people you don't like late?

Or take some of the tension out of that last-minute airport dash.

Varrok 04-16-2013 11:33 AM

I've always wanted to be able to lick my own elbow

DarkHoodness 04-16-2013 11:37 AM

Dislocate your shoulder.

Nepsotic 04-16-2013 12:18 PM

Or your head.

MeechMunchie 04-16-2013 12:25 PM

Cut off your arm.

STM 04-16-2013 01:45 PM

Remove some ribs. It won't help you lick your arm but I need some ribs for something...

Vyrien 04-16-2013 01:56 PM

Ribs for his pleasure.

You want to make a woman in Varrock's image?

Varrok 04-16-2013 02:06 PM

Doesn't everybody?

Wings of Fire 04-16-2013 02:16 PM

No.

Bullet Magnet 04-16-2013 02:21 PM

I'll never forget the look of bafflement on my step-sister's face when she heard that licking one's own elbow is impossible. She then proceeded to lick her own elbow.

MA 04-16-2013 03:32 PM

the super power ability to mould everything in existence to what i absolutely will it to be in my minds eye. probably if i wanted to go down the dark path of conquest and force, to make what i believe to be a utopian society. but like all power-drunk megalomaniac lunatics, i suppose i would believe i was doing the world good and advancing the human race when in fact i'd likely be an absolute fucking cunt to others. one mans utopia is another's dystopia, even though i would always prefer my own version of the world.

but fuck that BEND TO MY WILL

Nepsotic 04-16-2013 10:56 PM

I don't want to lick any of My own body parts.

MA 04-18-2013 06:10 PM

i'd like to become invulnerable to human action, like an invisible observer. then i could sit back and watch the fucking world destroy itself while i pull up a deck chair, roll a fag and piss myself laughing at humanity eating itself.

then i'd do whatever the fuck i'd like with what's left of the planet. or go insane and kill myself once the overwhelming loneliness kicked in. one of the two.

also the super power ability to suck my own cock

Bullet Magnet 04-18-2013 06:32 PM

That last one's really more of a flexibility issue. You can improve that with training.

Which is what we will all assume you are doing whenever we notice your absence from the forum from now on.

MA 04-18-2013 06:43 PM

and that assumption would be correct.

also anal enlargement via installments

Nepsotic 04-18-2013 10:38 PM

Or you could take the easy route and remove your two lower ribs.

I really have no desire to suck my own cock. I'm pretty content with letting girls do it.

Nepsotic 04-19-2013 08:38 AM

Oh whatever, like you never tried it...

If they can find it.

DOHOHOHO.

OANST 04-19-2013 08:53 AM

I keep it tucked in a fold of fat.

But what about everyone bar yourself being wiped out? You'll soon be wishing that you had never neglected your yoga.

OANST seems to have a cloaca. You might want to get that looked at.

Wings of Fire 04-19-2013 09:35 AM

That reminds me of the guy in the new(ish) JK Rowling book who was so fat he had lichen covered rotting flesh inside his folds.

I guess what I'm saying is I'd like the superpower to rid the world of obesity. Or obese people. I'm not really bothered which.

Bullet Magnet 04-19-2013 09:36 AM

So you're not bothered whether you cure a disease or render it instantly fatal?

By a doctor or a biologist?

As someone who finds chubby girls cute I resent this super power! :D

No, there's a clear difference between chubby and obese.

You wouldn't a Cloverfield.

STM 04-19-2013 09:54 AM

I dunno, depends how you define 'obese', I've heard people call fucking Kim Kardashian obese before.

MeechMunchie 04-19-2013 09:58 AM

Well, those people are wrong. "Obese" is a medical term, it's not subjective.

Then again, so was "retarded".
