If you were a mutant

[The Alma Mater]

Im just going to go with a classic Mind control/manipulation and mind reading combo.

All of your secrets will belong to me, and you area dick so go walk into that wall.

Oh maybe just mind control/manipulation and telekinesis, that would be great.

Add teleportation and you are this guy:

[Kenmoria]

The power of making anything I say become true.
"I own a winning lottery ticket"

[Gheballbakyra Stogalbra Eviapadmeke]

The power of making anything I say become true.
"I own a winning lottery ticket"

That's a good one.

[Anywhere Else But Here]

If I were a mutant, I would have the following superpowers:

- Ability to predict stocks and lottery numbers
- Ability to materialize money and gold

Since I like good food, I would also have a hyperspatial portal in my stomach that would allow me to eat as much as I want.

Is it a one way portal? Because if not, Cthulhu is totally going to materialise in your stomach at some point.

*Oh, shit".

[Jetan]

It's a tough one, and I basically have four powers I can't choose between. So I'd pick one of these: 1)Invisibility 2) Flying 3) Shapeshifting or 4) Ability to control and produce electricity. Preferably in a way that doesn't make me stand out as a mutant.

This would backfire quickly.

[Harkback Union]

I just want to flyyy...

No more godda@# airport security.

[Annihilators of Chan Island]

I've been inclined for a while to have a super-natural ability to find things. On the macro scale, it would be great to know where some missing plane is, but in the day to day it would be fantastic to instantly know where my keys are when I'm late or where my friend is when they're 25 minutes late to a hang-out.

Also mind control would be awesome.

[Minzerland II]

The ability to withstand any and all animals in Australia.

[Calladan]

So to get away from the typical political stuff here I had a question. If you were a mutant (a la marvel comics) what would you be like and what would your super powers be?

For me I would be a person who controls sound waves I produce and can use those sound waves to affect people's minds. I would mostly do this through things like making music and singing, though I could also dampen or magnify sound waves. This would occur regardless of the medium the sound is traveling through so earplugs and the such wouldn't exactly do much. The reason I would use song mainly because I would have a stutter, which gets in the way of my abilities. My abilities could be used to the good or the bad, where I can help people overcome there own mental scaring like ptsd, but I could also use it to brainwash people to do what I want.

To be unnoticed. Not invisible, just unnoticed. I wouldn't use it for evil, or bad. But just so I could walk through life on my own, without people noticing me unless I wanted them to.

That would be nice.

You'd be God. Not a god, God with a capital G.

As for me, telekenesis would do just fine. No more bending down to pick up stuff, and it makes for the best party tricks. I can probably use it for something good for society, too.

Teleportation, I am really tired of the commute, just blink and be there

Why don't you wish for being able to do your job better, given that you work in public transport. That way you could improve everyone's commute

[Purpelia]

Having actually played in a RP inspired by this scenario a few years back I'll just repeat my choice from there. I would be like Dr.X only evil and with working feet. And I mean evil. Like the PG13 version is that I would walk into a store, fill up my shopping cart with expensive items and than leave through the front door without paying and nobody would stop me because they all believe I did. Well, actually I'd probably do that anyway even if I wasn't PG13 restricted simply because its convenient. But I'd also do other things.

One thing I wouldn't try and do is influence politics or rule the world or anything like that. No need to draw attention to my self when I can just use mind control and reading to puppet people around me from time to time into giving me a happy if evil life.

[The V O I D]

You all think too small.

My power would be a mass consciousness-esque indoctrination aura; this would functionally alter all minds within my proximity, and the infected's proximity, to mirror my exact thoughts, desires, emotions, etc. Secondarily, this effect would enhance, empower, and further strengthen my hive mind control over all infected.

Even if my current primary/central body "dies", the collective now has my exact thought process, desires, emotions, etc. and is capable of continuing infecting people; my mind would live on through the collective, and a new "Prime Mind" would probably be randomly selected to control the collective.

Bonus points for the fact that this means I get more powers as I go, and even telepaths aren't immune because I am literally causing their consciousness to wither and die in favor of my own.

The process is like a 'psionic virus', so even escaping my aura, depending on how far you were exposed, won't save you; eventually, you will return and join the collective. Or be used as an agent to further the collective's reach through the fact that you, too, now carry the infection.

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant now that I, too, now carry the infection.

Cold sheepie, cold.

My mutant power would be to make people believe I know Kevin Bacon.

Sounds like a good recipe to produce a society full of drones that don't actually contribute to things you can steal. Like, why would you want to make all the women around you into mental clones of your self when you can just mind control them into wanting you for a night? Same thing for the men. You want them to work in those factories making those gadgets and candy and expensive things that make your life more comfortable. Not be you and have the same hopes, dreams and wants as you do. All you'd be doing is making more of you that's more difficult to please as opposed to actually pleasing your self.


Plus like you just know that there is always going to be an annoying super out there with delusions of grandeur and a messianic complex that's going to be looking for people just like you and conveniently have exactly the right powers to neutralize your own due to plot reasons or heroic willpower or what ever.

[Aellex]

Telekinetic arms à la Elfen Lied. Them infecting people to get them to have children that are single-mindedly bound on serving my every whims and exterminating my enemies is optional but welcomed.

[Kvatchdom]

I've never really seen the point in superpowers or in this case mutations as special powers, but I guess teleportation would be cool.

[Saiwania]

The equivalent of "Fire-bending" from the Avatar and Legend of Korra universe for me. Also, I'd probably want to join Magneto's team- at least initially.
I don't care about hurting non-mutant humans, so much as just using my powers to my selfish advantage, such as to become rich without having to work very hard for that money.

This is a damn good answer.

I'd like the power to trap people in eternal terror nightmares and to be able to enter their dreams to gloat and supplement things with my own creative additions.

I don't think there'd be much money in that. We've kinda already mastered fire.

Bernkastel confirmed.
