That is actually the superpower I used to dream about as a little kid, though I had no idea who this Zach clown was.

I still think Nightcrawler-like teleportation would be way more fun, and no, you wouldn't lose your clothes doing it.

I'd probably spend the rest of my life trying to beat my own record of how many people I could punch in the face before the first one hit the ground, though.

Also, is Swaim dressed up as a Faceball 2000 character?

For the record, I've always thought time manipulation would be the best superpower. So take that, title!

But even if I could only have the power to stop time rather than go forward and back, it would still beat everything else for sheer usefulness in real life.

(See Roger Lee Vernon's story "The Stop Watch" and John D. MacDonald's book "The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything")

That's Scud: The Disposable Assassin

Now can anybody positively ID Katie's costume? It seems pretty generic.

Also, super healing FTW, eventual entrapment notwithstanding.

Can't say I've ever heard of him.

edit: Kate is Lex according to the cracked.com comments.

She looks more like trinity then lex.

best super power is mind control (Professor X), think about the possibilities...

Wouldn't flight without an engine, except jumping and wings, have to be manipulation of gravity?

I figure that is the way Superman flies. Hes not jumping or gliding, but he is manipulating gravity (also, he is a machine, but let's not get into that now)

Anyway - since gravity manipulation would render you pretty much invulnerable, and give you the ability to travel great distances and possibly the only way to "stop time" - I would go with that.

There's a GURPS advantage called Sanitized Metabolism, which reads:

"You are totally clean. Your native intestinal enzymes and symbiotic bacteria eliminate your body odor and make efficient use of food and drink, leaving minimal, sanitized waste products. You never suffer from bad breath, excessive perspiration or unsightly skin problems."

Always wished I could put that on my RL character sheet.


That said, there's a strict hierarchy of super powers:

Level 1, God:
Omnipotence
Batman

Level 2, Cosmic:
'Omnipotence'
'Reality' Manipulation
Time Manipulation

Level 3, Rule the World:
Mind Control
'Luck' Manipulation
Kill Anyone
Speed
Magic
Genius
Hyper-Technology

Level 4, Super:
'Luck'
Invulnerability
Healing Factor
Insubstantiality
Invisibility
Teleportation
Telekinesis
etc.

Level 5, Overrated:
Ninja
Flight
Eye Beams
Strength
etc.

Level 6, Worthless:
Aquaman


I spend a lot of time thinking about this.

Stretching powers. Ohhhhh yeahhhhh...

If you used this power too much, you would end up much older (physically) than your peers

By their rules time stopping is not so great.

Time Stop:
If you keep stopping time for everything besides yourself, then you will essentially age faster relative to everyone else. Your biggest mistake would be to regularly use it for long distance psuedo-teleportation...

Full Time Manipulation:
Even full time manipulation may not be considered so great because even if you could selectively turn back time on your body to reverse aging, you wouldn't be able to do it on your brain unless you want to lose any memories/experiences recorded there.
