Its a classic. What superpower would you have, and what was the first movie/comic book/novel that you saw/read that featured that power.

For me it would be the ability to "jump" from the movie Jumper. I could surf in Hawaii, then jump to some crazy backcountry peak. Not to mention the new ease lapping parks would have, and the irrelevance of lift lines. Get caught in an avy? jump out.

k now its your turn

Cold war Russia.


Probably saw it late in elementary school in history.

I would choose them because holy fuck. They managed to scare the whole world while also having one of the largest militaries. (population wise)

so if you had any choice of a superpower, yours would be the ability to quickly travel to facilitate alternating between ski and surfing locations?

Being infinitely powerful would have its perks.

@OP I'm not gonna lie It'd either be invisibility(obvious reasons) or being a jumper.

Ok I really didn't think this through, there's a ton more I would have added instead of jumper, but whatever.

Being the only one able to lie would be permanently awesome - See the invention of lying.

I've got a better way to make a game out of this.
2. click random
3. that is now your super power
4. the last number of your karma determines how good you are at using your power
0,1= not well at all, street punks can still beat you up
2,3= you probably wont get beat up by street punks
4,5= you're a contender to fight off others with powers
6,7= you could probably beat most others in a fight
8,9= you are extremely powerful.

and no rerolls on your powers

i'll go first... i got this http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Inanimation which would have been pretty cool but at the time of writing this my karma ends in a 2 so i guess i can wander in back alleys and not get beat up. oh well.

/i'm pretty bored right now in case you couldnt tell

Holy shit.. doing that random power generator I got the "Allmighty Link" What the fuck... Oh and my karma ends in a 9. Come at me motherfuckers.

The user can access and manipulate the connection that links all powers that compose omnipotence. This power is the fundamental force behind all collective abilities.

It can control and access all the infinite associations, variations, combinations and sub-powers related to omnipotence's primal stage giving the user absolute control over all powers.

It says you might have a hypnosis ability type thing. Just pretend you're a Pokemon and you might get better eventually.
