        I mean, it can? Feel like most super powers can be used for bad things. That’s where all of the good guys get bad guys to fight.

      Wouldn’t you still age if you’re operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you’re suddenly aging rapidly.

    id choose super speed,
    the kind where you also change your perception of time and everything just seems to slow down compared to you.

    as long as i can change that speed, and am not stuck percieving everything at a crawl.

    Ever since I saw it in a TMNT comic book, I wanted the ability to bring to life anything I can draw. I could have literally any super power I want and more with this one weird trick.

    Either Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones, or if I can cheat a little, Legion’s powers in Legion on FX. He sort of has multiple but they can all basically be chalked up to “mind powers” if we’re being loose with it.

    For the record I’m not saying I want to be like Killgrave, he’s a disgusting small monster, but… his abilities are insane. Hard to resist something like that.

    As for Legion’s, I mean I’d effectively be a god. Hard to pass that up, tho maybe not if it comes bundled with the schizophrenia.

      I thought Killgrave was extra disturbing because you know that’s exactly how someone with that power would become.

    shapeshifting

    depending on how realistic you want to keep it the benefits go from “pretty nice” to “god amongst men” level:

    • backpain? just fix your back
    • toothache? grow new teeth
    • don’t feel like going to the hairdresser? shift into a different hairstyle
    • gender problems? forget HRT you can make hormones science doesn’t even know about
    • aging is no more (if you want)
    • donate all the blood you want! hell you can donate your heart if you find a doctor that doesn’t ask questions
    • mental fog getting you down? just fuckin change your brain. “is it still me after?” don’t know don’t care now go revolutionize physics Einstein
    • grow a tail

    the possibilities are endless
