Quote from: "Sulaco"Immortality.

Or more specifically to remain at age 21 forever.

Death is a real nuisance. There's so much in this world, this universe, that I want to explore and discover, and our lifetime is far too short!

lol, I'm 21 and I feel old. There has always been a close link suggested between why people believe in an afterlife and their desire to live forever. I would guess that if you could somehow alter the rapid multiplication of cells to slow it down, or even stop the process, then you would remain in the state that you were when the cells responsible for aging were halted.

That, and being able to resurrect people, would indeed be profitable ventures. But I'm too lazy and lack the knowledge to do so, so if it ever were to be possible to do such things I would imagine the people in charge of that stuff being very rich people.

Quote from: "Sal1981"The ability to alter matter & energy at a whim. Think Dr. Manhattan.

I agree with neo and drunk either to fly or teleport.

I just hate traffic, and I have spend a lot of my life waiting for busses and trains too.

I would prefer to fly, but the problem for me is that the human body looks kind of lame flying, I would prefer to fly in a sitting down position :-k .  I think the reason why superman wears a cape to make the body look more graceful somehow while he is up in the air, I think I would use an armchair as a prop, I could sit and read too maybe, but then I would need some kind of a windshield.

None. I do not think they are going to find a way to make me a 20-year old in the time left for me. It is better to accept reality than to look for a Dr. Manhattan. By that time I will perhaps have a 20-year old grandson. That is good enough.

A humans desire to live is exceeded only by their willingness to die for another. Even god cannot equal this magnificent sacrifice. No god has the right to judge them.-first tenant of the Panotheust

Atheon

I'd love to be able to make people say what I want them to say. Then when there are politicians running for office, during a campaign speech I could make them say really offensive things about minorities, poor people, women, non-Christians, etc. to guarantee that nobody will vote for them. Or I could make homophobes admit they're gay. Or other fun stuff.

Telekinesis in general. Basically that would be like every super power. I could manipulate matter that way, so in theory, I would be able to be invisible, phase through walls, fly, shoot fire, freeze people like Sub-Zero. Mostly freeze people like Sub-Zero. Mortal Kombat is awesome.

Co-Location.  Covers scrying, being in two+ places at once, teleportation, taking things from another place without being there, and much more.  Mage 2nd edition had so many potential abuses for it!  :D

Hydra, co-location covers that too. It is the space-time abusing power. I could co-locate someone's heart to the sun and laugh as they die with a potentially burned chest (if I allowed Sol's heat to spread beyond the heart).
