As awesome as that Gaussian surfaces one was, I'd want the ability to know everything that is and has been known by a human being, updated constantly, and instantly recollectable. Languages, maths, carpentry, what that homeless bum had for breakfast in 1852, whatever.



Then I'd go on game shows and irritate people with my perfect knowledge of ridiculous trivia.

 I'm quite sure this will be used less for science and trivia and more for annoying people halfway across the globe.

That would be the most emo super-power ever.  I would immediately commit suicide to drown out the endless influx of human suffering.

Superman, batman, spiderman all have evil twins.

I want the superpower to not have an evil twin and not be cloneable.

What would his evil twin be! Everybody being his good twin and perpetually cloning himself?

Wait... Nitrogen is N... What am I thinking of? Found in dirt... Salt... Not Potassium... I think I confused something. Calcium?
Salt is sodium chloride, and nitrogen is found in fertile soil as well as the atmosphere.

1.  Get out of my head!

2.  The only appropriate superhero name for that power is HuMan.

But there would also be a constant influx of extreme human joy . . . including drugs, without having to take them or worry about chemical side effects, now that I think about it.

Salt is sodium chloride, and nitrogen is found in fertile soil as well as the atmosphere.

That's what I'm looking for! Sodium! Thanks! I was thinking of Na and thought of N by accident! Na is quite common in the dirt as well.

But yes. The air is about 75% nitrogen.

Ok, got another superpower idea.

The ability to make insignificant things/subjects/etc. into something significant (if that's an actual word..)
To simplify what I mean:


me: Look, there's a penny on the sidewalk!
random person a suddenly halts and looks at the penny: OH MY GOD! THERE'S A PENNY ON THE SIDEWALK!
random person b&c: WHAT THE F***?!? A PENNY ON THE SIDEWAK!?!
a bunch of other people show up.
And I'll just walk away, laughing to myself.. my evil deed is done.  ;D

Significant is a real word. I suggest you learn prefixed and suffixes. It'll improve you a lot.

Will stop you from saying stuff like unindependant. Or superhyperactive.

(Found a hotspot in my condo- I won't have it for long.)

The ability to instantly transform matter I touch into a 3d jigsaw puzzle that instantly falls apart, but returns to normal when reassembled. I'd be the fearsome Puzzler!
