We need more powers guys... Also where are your tacky yet classic superhero names? ? For those of you who lack the imagination to form your own name or power (Such as say....... Anchorman oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh snap! I just torched ur ass. Sumo-1 Anchorman - 0) Then here's a website that will help your superhero needs. fly.hiwaay.net/%7Elkseitz/comics/herogen/completely random yet some of the powers are interesting for instance... The gelatinous Super Finger (Super-Finger, Superfinger, Finger Super, Finger-Super, Fingersuper) Power(s): Sound generation/control Source of powers: Chronal mutant Weapon: Trick Spores Transportation: General Hydrofoil -the site comes up with some interesting names... some named after our own trivia members such as doom or grey.... Grey Man(Grey-Man, Greyman, Man Grey, Man-Grey, Mangrey) Power(s): Dark generation/control, Super breath Source of powers: Mutant raised by animals Weapon: Flame Thingamabob Transportation: Nuclear Yak This gives me an idea (Insert germlouck's evil laugh)... use this thread to give powers and names to other trivia host members as well i call dips on echris's power and name...come up with more powers damnit!

Okay, screw shapeshifting, here's my new plan: Time control.
To be able to slow down, reverse, quicken, or stop time for everything in the universe except for yourself. This can be used to deliver a powerful amount of force in a moment, to win a race, to rob a bank, or to get out of virtually any situation.
This power would be perfect for either good OR evil, since there are SO many things you wish you could do without being caught which you could do when time is stopped.
The only downside I can think of for this power is, if you're the only one that time applies to when you stop time and you stop time often, you will seemingly age faster than everyone around you, substantially cutting down your lifespan (to others).
I shall replace shapeshifting with this as my ultimate superpower...and I'll make myself a name as soon as I get around to it.
Name: Explosivo. Power: Complete control over time.
*Inspired by the movie "Click".

I will stick with my shapeshifting, and added note, it would be instantaneous shifting.
Time control sounds neat but if you die faster(in real time) as a result, it can't be so good.
And all those things you can do by stopping/slowing time you could do by shapeshifting.
Win a race by instantly increasing your leg's muscles, rob a bank by changing into fly to get into the vault unoticed and then changing into something to leave as, or to dig a tunnel with.
Plus you could live forever by lengthening your telomers all the time.(as said before a portion of them gets cut off the dna everytime a cell replicates)
Plus anything done to me when time is frozen could be easily undone when time is normalized.
Yay for shapeshifting. Odo foreva!(except without the need to become a useless lump of goo every 16 hours)

Ah, but there's always a loophole in time travel. One could simply fast forward to a time when life can be prolonged and simply extend yours. The reason I say time control can own shapeshifting is the idea that when someone with my power is facing certain death, they can stop time and simply move. If you're facing certain death (as in anything you turn into will kill you.) you just die.

dx does have a point. Time control is a sweet power, but it gets confusing very quickly.
If you were to go back in time... would you be able to interact with your past self? If you could then you could travel time with him. So ultimately an infiinite number of dxs from different times could appear at the same moment, say in a fight agaisnt techno. If you killed one dx would all dxs from different times disappear? Time control is crazy confusing. Still... Props are awarded to dx for his power!

however, a shape shifter could morph into a mosquito and hover about 15 feet above the time traveller and then transform into, say, a rhinoseros. the falling would happen too quick and the time traveller couldn't have time to react. and then just before the rhino hits the ground, shape shifter turns back into mosquito and abandons the corpse. awesome.

Well first off a "time traveller" would usually need a fancy time travel device that if comics and movies have taught us anything, needs some ridiculous method of activating.
So while your trying to get your Delorian up to 88miles an hour i turn into a large spiked speed bump and poof, u be dead.
Plus if you travelled too much you would probably completely destroy the universe via the space time continuom that all those geeky scifi characters on TV always talk about.
And interacting with yourself would alter your future etc.
One thing i will note, it didnt seem like dx was even talking about time travel, only controlling the speed of time as it flows forward.
Added note, while you go back in time to alter stuff, the shapeshifter can just morph into your form and ruin your life and score with your wife.

Ah, but what if the time travel were to occur as planeswalking occurs in the Magic: The Gathering books? If the time travel were nothing more than taking a step sideways into another time? Then it would be ultimate.

Then it would be ultimate. Of course that would involve having you read those books. Are you willing to admit that?

Ok, so if I were to have any super power out there, it would definitley be telekinesis. With that, you could fly as well, by sheer will power. You could also rob banks without even entering them, pull off peoples clothes just by thinking about it, while making them hover in the air helpless. You could also use your mind to throw shit at people who are pissing you off, while remaining completely innocent because no one would know it was you. Ever been in a restaurant and someones baby is crying? Woosh, out the window in like 2 seconds. You can't compete with that. I wouldnt have a name, I would be 'the superguy formerly known as irish' or maybe a few years later turn my name into a symbol that all the cool kids would wear, thus increasing my wealth through royalties.

Heehee i like Irish's power. When you said that you'd throw shit at people, i thought for the first few seconds that you literally meant shit. ANd some funny images came up.
Alright Irish some quick questions. 1. How far away can you use your telekinesis? Could you control nuclear missiles in China from America? Or is the distance musch shorter. 2. How many things can you use your telekinesis on at once? 3. How strong is your telekinesis? COuld you lift buildings? 4. How would you gain power with telekinesis... aside from stealing money?
All in all..sweet power.. Props are awarded for Irish's power!

It seems like too many of these powers have no flaws at all.
