    Hi,

    That's not a superpower - I can talk to rocks. It's just that the shrinks don't like it when I do!

    Cheers, Greg.

    True, talking to rocks is not a super power... but having two-way conversations is. That is what I meant, you know that.
    @Juganhut I remember that show! It was screwed up. It was the He-Man of Mother Earth! What?!

    That's not a superpower. That's never getting your mind back after Woodstock.

    What about the power to be magnetic, but only as powerful as a fridge magnet?

    You watch darker than black? (o_0) you are now 29 % cooler than you were before.

    As for a stupid power how about the power to eat with out ever getting full?

    Are you refering to me? If so, thanks! thats show was pretty epic. It takes alot for me to like an anime, but that one went in the list with FMA, Cowboy Bebop, and Gundam.

    anyway, the ability to plank without people thinking you're a moron.

    It's just an entertaining thread. This might be worth starting a word game :) lol

    Ability to turn a small portion of your body, like a finger or your nose, invisible!

    How about the power to control a person's mind, but only if that person is a newborn baby? You can't make the baby do anything babies can't ordinarily do ...

    The ability to quote any movie/book/show/paper/person/creature/or anything else perfectly! SUPER nerd!!

    What would I do if there was a human sized fly on my wall? I'd get a human sized fly swatter, of course.

    I'd search frantically for the fly sized human and the matter transport booths.

    Lol, good answers! Here's one, the ability to remember the last place you had anything you think of.

    They aren't necessarily stupid, they are more those abilities that your reaction would be "Of all powers... really?". Be honest, would you rather these abilities or flame vision?

    Hi,

    The ability to fly, but because its a little weak, at an altitude of six inches and only at walking speed!

    Invisibility - as long as no one's looking!

    Super speed, but because it's exhausting, you can only run fifty feet and then have to sit down for a bit!

    Telepathy - but you can only read the minds of insects.

    Cheers, Greg.

    Here's a couple random ones:

    + Buffering - Ability to sharpen objects, like a pencil (perhaps by rubbing your fingers against them)
    + Super-spinning - Ability to cause things to spin uncontrollably
    + Rodent mimicry - Ability to mimic the abilities of small rodents

    I've tried 'em all out before. Buffering is fun, super-spinning is fairly useful, but rodent mimicry is kind of weird, to say the least. =P

    Funny you should say that, my first thought on Rodent Mimicry was "Now that's a character!". Anyone want a character bio for one of the chosen posts? If we can get a page four, there will be one up on the next night ;)

    Rodent mimicry could be great. If you could mimic the speed and agility of a squirrel, you'd really have something!

    Posthumous thought reading in general sounds pretty depressin. Now think of that one dead squirrel down the street, splattered in the road. That is deep man.
