If You Had a Superpower

[Nepsotic]

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.

[Mr. Bungle]

That seems like way too much of a hassle. I'd rather just sit in my living room and duplicate shit with my brain than travelling through the fabrics of reality.


...as cool as that sounds.

[Oddey]

Actually, if you could hop through other realities, how would you be able to find the right reality to jump to, besides trial and error? Would they all be laid out in a nice easily sorted out pattern? Or would they all just be in a huge line, and you'd have to guess which one had what you were after?

[Wings of Fire]

If you're going to ask about the mechanics of a single superpower then a million more questions spring themselves into existence.

Just assume 'It works. Deal with it.'

[Varrok]

Need some quick cash? Dupe some twentys.

That'll result in larger inflation and will piss people off

Running low on beer? Dupe 'em.

Your liver would end really poor

Want more of your favourite salty snack but are running low?

Actually, much salt is unhealthy too

[MeechMunchie]

Need some quick cash? Dupe some twentys. Running low on beer? Dupe 'em. Want more of your favourite salty snack but are running low? Well, sir, you can dupe that.

Oh, I thought you meant duplication in the "Perform a twenty-man bank heist... on your own" sense.

[Mr. Bungle]

That'll result in larger inflation and will piss people off

Well I'd do it with subtlety, of course. It'd be my own personal, secret power.

Oh, I thought you meant duplication in the "Perform a twenty-man bank heist... on your own" sense.

Nah, that would cause way too many complications. Twenty me's would be a horrible idea, we'd all end up dead, guaranteed. I'm talking duplication of any physical item you can find.

[MA]

the ability to learn at lightening speed and soak up all information perfectly without ever forgetting it. that would mean i could read/listen/watch how to do something, then do it successfully first time, every time. with everything. in other words, the ability to do everything i know perfectly and competently every single time, never forget how to do so and only ever have to learn anything once.

[MeechMunchie]

I'd like to be able to play any song on any instrument... as long as the song originated in a video game.

[Jordan]

Duplication, guys. Think about it.

Need some quick cash? Dupe some twentys. Running low on beer? Dupe 'em. Want more of your favourite salty snack but are running low? Well, sir, you can dupe that.

You could even end world hunter. Think of the possibilities!

as cool as this is, i probably wouldn't like to have it. i sort of see it as an easy way to become successful, and could easily be abused if you got out of control. i'd still like to be able to live a normal life while still being able to do cool shit that doesn't give you a massive advantage. i suppose you could say that about any super power i guess.

[Nate]

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.

[WolfensteinOdess]

Fly

[Bullet Magnet]

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.

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]

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

[Mac Sirloin]

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]

Just duplicate another universe

[Nepsotic]

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

[Crashpunk]

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]

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]

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]

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

[DarkHoodness]

Dislocate your shoulder.

[Nepsotic]

Or your head.

[MeechMunchie]

Cut off your arm.

[STM]

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

[Vyrien]

Ribs for his pleasure.

[Wings of Fire]

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

[Varrok]

Doesn't everybody?

[Wings of Fire]

No.
