If you were a mutant

Postby Neutraligon » Sun Jul 30, 2017 10:39 pm

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.

Did Marvel have mutants who could automatically make people become recognized as the gender of their choice? Because that's what I'm feeling now.

Since you are making up your own character and abilities why not?

:) Excellent. In that case that's what I'd do. I'd travel around the world somehow finding trans people and altering the world, including themselves and everyone they know, instantaneously to fit the true perception of their gender identity.

If I could be a superhero
Would you be justice guy?
Making sure people get what they deserve
Especially women who lie

Like if a wife left her husband with three kids and no job
To run off to fucking Hawaii with some doctor named Bob
You could skin them and drain them of blood so they die (especially Bob)
Then you would be justice guy

Or you could be more subtle
No I didn't mean to be vague
Give her the mad cow disease
Let him die of the plague
As long as they suffer for their terrible lie (especially Bob)
Then you would be Justice Guy
Yes then you would be a superhero like me

Stephen Lynch - Superhero :P

****
But I would like to be Colossus. Strong, armoured, can survive without food or oxygen, does not tire - and yet can appear completely normal when desired.
Except for the whole thing with dating underage girls. That part he can keep. In exchange I would like a slightly augmented resistance to mind control ;)

I'd get cheated by life and be a mutant with a crappy nonpower that's still enough to tell people who needs to be lynched.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

The power of perfect, non-stop, shitposting. The kind of shitposting that would just run circles around an adversaries sanity, causing them to commit suicide. Though I fear that this may become a reality, to an extent. Imagine a future where Australian and Canadian culture has fused together? I fear this will happen.

I'd like to have Azazel's power or something similar to that (azazel's power is long-distance teleportation).

Maybe a short distance blink coupled with perfect balance so I can parkour easy mode.

I'd be telekinetic, but not the kind of telekinesis where you can levitate cars. I wouldn't have super-human strength, but I'd have the ability to manipulate materials with precision on a small scale. For example, it would be simple to pick locks or fix broken jewelry or make detailed drawings by using telekinesis to spread the ink around the page. I'd have a job as a paramedic, using my powers stop people bleeding out, set broken bones, extract bullets, etc. without the need for clumsy surgical tools. Could even do stuff like breaking up blood clots without the need to cut the person open to get to the clot.

Right now it would be the power to instantly categorise beauty products.. I'm doing a large project on beauty products and, frankly, you females are insane.. emulsions, lotions, toners, creams, essences and serums.. BB and CC creams, foundations and concealers, loose powders and compact powders.. blushers and cushions..

I mean.. how do you get out in the morning..

I would be the master of illusions, being able to make people see and hear things that aren't there and manipulate their minds. With enough practice I could make someone go crazy on the spot if I wanted to.

The power of ironic movie jump-cuts.

You know how in movies where somebody says something like, "I will never EVER wear a cheerleader uniform!" And then the next scene is them grudgingly wearing a cheerleader uniform.

I want to be able to do that in real life, whenever somebody says anything that could set it up.

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.

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.
