With power over time and space, you could reach through your monitor and slap people posting stupid stuff. No need to vanish 'em.

I'd like to be an asshole and point this out.

There are plenty of other super power related articles on this site, just look around.

I'd just like the ability to negate anyone else's power... just to stop abuse

Dur. That's why Superman has supervision, super intelligence and invulerability in addition to flight. He catches planes gently.
Flash is surrounded by Speed Force(tm) so things won't be hitting him in the face.
All this is explained by the perfectly reasonable stuff in the comic books.

But the article isn't talking about comic books, and neither is this thread.

It's picking apart super powers in very selective ways. Just seemed like a lazy writeup.
Niven's analysis of Superman and Lois Lane gettin' it on is way more entertaining.

The ability to open people's brains and learn how to use their powers but only use it once and then forget I had them with the exception of telekinesis, which I only use to open people's brains and repeat the process.
Actually no, teleportation is cooler.

You're talking about superpowers... on the internet... on a forum devoted to a gnere of game that is played like a test.

Which gaming genre isn't ultimately played like a test?

I can bet you if they wrote about the cons of telekinesis, it would be something like this:
"Imagine that right when you're about to launch a 10 ton tank into a group of enemy soldiers in the midst of battle, you suddenly feel a tiny mosquito sucking your blood on your forehead. You can't use your hands to squash the bug since the majority of your powers are being siphoned from your brain to your hands to the object you are lifting. You decide 'hey, why not use my telekinetic powers to squash the bug'. Five minutes later, there are military soldiers laughing and pissing on your dumbass splattered corpse".

I was in a rush when i wrote that to get out the door test was not exactly what i would have said, if I had more time.

There are alot of powers that would definitely beat what I want (not counting "God" powers), but I still want molecular manipulation -"shapeshifting".
The reason that my hands are somewhat sore and I have not been sleeping is that a game recently came out where the main character has such powers, and uses them very similar to what I have wanted for quite some time now (clawed and whipblade arms, change my density, consume people for health/mass, being able to climb and run on walls, heat vision, regeneration). In fact, many of my closer friends/aquintances have actually commented "Hey, the guy in this game has your powers..."
So, since I don't really have these abilities, I have been content to wreck general havoc in a game, and giggle maniacally.
With the exception that I would also want to transform into "monsters" as well...
