I'm torn between Hulk like strength or super mind control. It woudl be pretty cool to be able to pick up buildings and use super tankers for bats or javelins, but super mind control could get me anything I wanted, even pie?

What about you?

I AM THE HULK!

Super Mind Control could be a lot of fun......pie is good too.

Flying would be bad ass, but I think invisibility would be handier.

[Eric Cartman Anime-Ninja] I have the power....to have all powers [/Eric Cartman Anime-Ninja]

OK South Park humor aside:

I think Wolverine's healing power would be a great one. I'd figure sooner or later everyone runs into someone/something that will kick their butt. So being able to heal up in a few minutes and carry on like nothing happened would be cool.

Invisibility would be neat until I ran into someone who decided to spray the area with full-auto buckshot or a flamethrower. Then I'd be toast (no pun intended)

Mind control would be neat but I'd have to sleep sometime. That would be cool on dates, though. h
Laser eyes, uh, does that mean I have to wear the red shades all the time? I can imagine waking up in the morning and blasting half the neighborhood. "Nuts! Where did I put my visor??"

Invisibility all the way.

I don't care how strong you are, if I can sneak up behind you and put a bat upside your noggin, you're done.

Plus, you get to hide out in the locker rooms.

I'll find another way to fly. I don't see myself becoming invisible any time soon.

Super Mind Control = All your guns are mine.
= Free shopping from now on.
= Bill Gates adopts me and makes me his sole heir.
= Ted Kennedy co-authors a pro 2nd amendment bill.
= John Kerry admits he faked his purple hearts.
= Stupid people no longer vote.

A good begining.

I would use super mind control to force Dianne F. and Chuck S. to join the NRA as life members and denounce Michael Moore. I would then use super mind control to make M.M. eat hot dogs until he explodes.

I would want to have the ability to everything with greatness and precision. Like if I wanted, I could be a pro football player or even a brilliant scientist...

Just the ability to do everything great.

Reading minds would be cool though. I kinda envy Mrl Gibson in that movie.

well i want time travel. go back and see who stole kennedy's brain.. go back to american before columbus and hunt grizz with quicgly 45-110.. camp out in some real woods.. buy a few shares of original coke stock, microsoft stock, timeport into each of the 911 hijacker planes and cut each terrorist's femoral arteries with a very sharp knife while the were seated, timeport into osama's presence while he waited for news and cut his balls off in front of all of his admirers before i poked eyes out with a rusty ice pick..

i could go on..

but given other choices.. mind control.. go to the next presidential democratic convention and when hillary gets ready to make her acceptance speech, compell here to strip nakid, get down on all fours and bark like a dog on national tv while ted kennedy stripped nakid and does a belly dance on the side and have the various tv monitors controlled so they wouldna interrupt the transmission....

I'd feel bad useing mind control for pie. That is like using ghb(?) for pie.

I'd take the power of knowing the future (in detail), then I'd know before hand if my witty comments wern't witty and the pickup lines sucked.

It would be like ground hog day without the ground hog day. Or so I envision it as such.

If I'm invisible I can have all the money I want and all the women and be able to freak out people by just randomly appearing places and you easily could kill osama.

I'll take the one that will make me wealthy with the least risk. The two possibilities are:

(1) Super mind control: allows you to force people to turn money over to you. The problem is, someone will know your identity and can some back later to get you after the "spell" wears off.

(2) Invisibility: allows access to anywhere you want without getting caught.

With that said, invisibility is the clear choice.

I've given this one a lot of thought. Rather than the run of the mill powers like super strength, flight, or speed, I'd rather have something that would aid me in my day to day white collar office life.

I would like the ability to make people fart.

Why, you might say?

Imagine the office suckup blowhard who's in a meeting with you and he's shooting the breeze with the boss, laughing at his jokes like they're the funniest thing ever... Then suddenly GRRRONK... Mister hilarity slinks off, red-faced, to his office...

Or you're out with you wife when you see an ex girlfriend who insists on talking to you ... Your ex gets a funny look on her face and you hear FRRRRRRRRRT. Problem solved. She goes away, and you and your wife share a good laugh.

I voted "other".

I need details on how this mind control would work. Do you have to be in the same room as the subject or could you control them from miles away -like a reporter you're watching on TV doing a live news broadcast?
