Late for the USSR quip. Darn.


Ability to project thoughts into visibilty. Imagine DF.
That would destroy us all, as the first things that would be created would be:
1. magma
2. HFS
3. Ironblood
4. Boatmurdered
5. BEEEEESSSS
6. MAGMA


I want to be able to generate/control electricity. Recharge stuff, use my arm as a railgun to launch quarters at high speeds, generate electromagnetic fields, etc. Also, i could deafen people by causing thunderclaps, or taze the shit out of them. Or be a human defibrillator, whatever.

Also, i made a VN topic like this here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=33790.0

The world needs Probability Manipulation Man.

Also, by day I am a mild-mannered (not-really-a) medical student, but by night I pretend to be extremely intelligent, by using Google when the other person isn't looking. Surely that's a power.

 The ability to seduce theoretical beings.

 Me and Lady Luck had a thing going on, but we broke it up. Her life was just too chaotic for me. And I won way too many lotteries that year.

This thread reminds me of a game I played years ago, Superhero League of Hoboken. One hero had the ability to raise the cholesterol level of his enemy, another could detect the topping on a pizza without opening the box.

Great game.

NO! The economy is bad enough! It'll screw us all over if more money went into circulation! Remember the Zimbabwe dollar?

Say what you want, I for one am not prepared to trade in my cow for a year of internet in the near future, but I digress...

A good ability we forgot to mention though, is the ability to materialize cows from thin air.

The power to program at the speed of light (or toad) is oh-so-useful.

The power to locally control the weather. Now YOU can make a raincloud above annoying people.

And, the power to substitute music tracks.

Actually, much of the industrial world is at risk of deflation. That's why so many countries are spending or being encouraged to spend to prop up demand and keep growing their economies and producing a modest level of inflation. The risk comes with the end of reduced demand. If the economy recovers, but the governments of the world keep spending large sums then we have to worry about high inflation. I could also go into why the deflation is bad, particularly for countries with large debt, but that'd distract from superpowers.
Like the ability to comprehend economics, holy hell it's so fucking complicated.
