Superpowers it is. I would want my one weakness to be something bizarre. Like, I can only be killed by horses.

Mine would be macs. I hate macs with an irrational passion, for no good reason. Therefore I would hate them even more as a superhero(with super-hate!) and one could totally incapacitate me until it was destroyed.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

My superpower would be density control.  Pick up a large object, lower its density to infinitely close to zero, throw it at the enemy so it flies super-super fast, and then increase its density to that of a battleship right as it hits the enemy.  Bam.

I'd want superpowers like the Flash, because that seems very practical.  Remember that episode of Justice League where Lex Luthor is in Flash's brain?  He can fly by flapping his arms like a hummingbird, he can knock down walls by shaking them apart.  Not to mention the dodging-bullets and go-anywhere-anytime abilities.

Shape Shifting.

Because that would be awesome.

Yeah, but that would kill you in real life.

You're the one talking about giving a pebble the mass of a battleship mid-throw.  When did this "real life" come into the discussion?

There was also that one episode where he had his heart beat so fast that the EKG thought he flatlined.

So: If you had to pick a theme/motif for all your powers to be focused around, what would it be? Assume that if you can't justify a power via maotif association (ie. sand manipulation could give you shape-shifting and invulnerability but not super speed) I'd choose electricity, though I'd want it to be blue-tinted rather than yellow. Bundled up with the whole lightning bolt shooting stuff I could get flight out of that as well, or maybe boosted-jumps. And contact damage.

Note that this trick allowed him to fool and escape Justice Lord Batman, who had previously devised a way to capture the entire Justice League. The best part? Justice Leauge Batman admited that he had no plan for escaping. Flash not only tricked Batman, he tricked a Batman smarter then the Batman of his universe.

See, my plan is to have a V for Vendetta costume stashed somewhere and when CRIME happens, I'll stop time and go grab it.

Then I'll spend like a solid week (with time stopped) going round punching people who are committing crimes in the face, just once.

Can you imagine the news reports? How absolutely hilarious would that be?
