Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ummm... I guess we kinda got off topic here... Sorry Av. Ok, if you could pick one super power what would it be and why? I'd say mine would be the ability to fly and it's because it would be SUPER convenient for me to come and see the Canucks play a home game that way haha Link to comment

avelanch Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ummm... I guess we kinda got off topic here... Sorry Av. Ok, if you could pick one super power what would it be and why? invisibility, so i can sneak into places and see things. I'd love to be a spy. Link to comment
aGENT Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Flying would be tons of fun but the ability to freeze time would be OH SO useful Link to comment
avelanch Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Flying would be tons of fun but the ability to freeze time would be OH SO useful freeze time would be nice too, but then i worry about the physics part of that. one would think that if you froze time you would create so much friction with your movements that you would ignite as soon as you unfroze time, as would whatever you touched/moved. basically you would have infinite speed, which would cause infinite friction.

I had planned on posting something smart ass about physics but couldn't figure out the right words to use. Weird. Link to comment

I'm pretty sure you can find physics (and/or other) flaws with any "super power". I think that's where the "super power" part comes in Shall we also rip apart why flying is not realistic as well?

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 These super powers have no strings attached by the way, screw reality and physics these are super powers damn it! Link to comment
aGENT Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Sticking with freezing time. Imagine the trouble you could get in to without actually getting in trouble!! Link to comment

avelanch Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 i'm still going with invisibility... maybe combined with the ability to phase through objects, like a ghost. I'll call it Ghost mode. That's my superpower, Ghost mode. Link to comment

And the magic physics behind self propelled human flight, the affect of g-forces and altitude, lack of oxygen at altitude etc don't phase you in the least...? Link to comment

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Actually, I can't decide between flying and invulnerability. Mostly for this: I don't know why but any picture I upload with the photobucket app is blurry... Link to comment

I see, so beyond the sheer impossibility of self propelled human flight you don't see any issues with it? Here's a question for your thread: Should Gum and I hunt you down and slap you silly for taking all the fun out of a conversation about SUPER -@#%$'ing powers? Link to comment

Here's a question for your thread: Should Gum and I hunt you down and slap you silly for taking all the fun out of a conversation about SUPER -@#%$'ing powers? i dont see inherent issues that would be unavoidable, again, i'm just saying why i wouldn't choose that power. bring it on. I'll make a standing rib roast also, you can change jade's diapers while you are here. Link to comment
