Alright, this hearkens back to my college days when I would go around asking oddball questions to random people.

So! Without further adieu, if you could have two superhero powers, but one weakness, what would they be?

The power to juggle an infinite amount of objects
The power to throw things with absolute pinpoint accuracy

But I'm allergic to meat.

    Easy.

    The ability to fly, and mastery of birds (sort of like how Percy Jackson is a celebrity to fish and squid and can talk to them).

    For a weakness? Inability to consume meat or fish without vomiting.

    Here's another one:

    Flying powerhouse (i.e. Superman).
    Secondary power: Energy projection, Havok-style.

    Weakness: Anybody who is not afraid of me can affect, wound, or kill me as if I were a normal person.

    (Got this idea from a Brandon Sanderson book)

    Telekinesis
    Time Control

    Vulnerable to mean-spirited message board comments

    Edit: actual weakness would be... "Unable to consciously commit an act of violence." Pretty hamstringing, as far as super-powered exploits go.

    Oh I know, I want the ability to flatten a city with a nuclear TRIBBLE that I can summon and control at will. I also want to be a changling like Odo.

    My only weakness is extreme heat.

    Food allergies and/or dietary choices are not superweaknesses. :rolleyes:


    My pick:

    + Superhealing a la Wolverine

    + Inability to feel fear or anxiety


    - Inability to form new emotional connections

    Powers:

    The ability to throw Jeff Hamilton under buses via mean-spirited message board comments when he says something I question the logic of.

    The ability of Foresight (at least more than the average person).

    Weaknesses:

    Susceptible to Jeff Hamilton rendering me powerless when he says something I do not question the logic of, and agree with.

    And more than likely susceptible to destroying anything and everything around me in the extremely unlikely scenario I'm provoked to anger. Kind of like the Hulk. Only a lot smaller. And a lot less green (unless I'm playing my orion). I have plenty of skeletons in my closet as a result of people betraying me, which is a weakness of a magnitude that far outweighs my superpower of Foresight.

    ...

    ...

    Wait, shouldn't this be on the Champions Online forums? You know, that other game about superpowers Cryptic makes? I think the players there would be far more insightful and helpful than us.

    *looks off towards the direction of Millenium City and watches tumbleweeds roll by* ... oh. Nevermind, then.

    I always wanted to be a speedster. But considering the dual-option:

    1. Telepathy with special emphasis on mind control
    2. Teleportation

    Weakness: Mind jumble - the longer I'm connected to another's mind, the more confused my sense of individual identity becomes, and the longer it takes to re-establish that identity and stability after separation.


    And what's with all the food allergies and reactions?

    I have about sixteen toons that might disagree with your assessment of Mill City, Iconians. In fact, Hothead and Electrocutie were running around in there earlier this evening! :)

    The ability to place a question inside a mental box, and upon doing so, know the correct answer.

    The ability to alter the physical properties of anything I come into contact with including myself.

    Weakness? Inability to die.

    1. Physical Strength/Toughness/longevity, something between thor and the hulk.
    2. ingeniousness, being able to out-wit anyone

    Weakness...hmm i have to think a bit longer about that... :P
