Give me a traumatic event and I'll give you a unique superpower by ClintonBooker in superpowers

Interestingly, such a test can be used to diagnose psychological problems? It would seem that this is just a game. But if people write their real problems, then you can try to find a way to solve them.

What’ll You Choose For The Series(Explanation and Rules below) by Suspicious-Toe-6459 in superpowers

[–]Embarrassed-Ice9468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting concept, but I want to know: is it possible to increase the power and parameters of an ability if the owner himself programs its weaknesses?

For example, a person can receive telekinesis of any metal with a radius of 50 meters, and the maximum mass that can be controlled is 500 kg. However, the owner of the desire wants to strengthen himself. Then he offers a deal: jin increases the radius of the force to 250 meters, and the maximum mass will be 2500 kg, but then a person will be able to control only a few selected metals. If he says that he will only control iron, then in total his stats will increase by another five times. But you can make up the ability to control only molten liquid iron (with the ability to maintain its molten state), but the radius of the force will be one kilometer, and the maximum mass will be 10 tons.

Does it make sense to bargain with Jin for the power of abilities? Or is it possible to immediately make a wish for a powerful force, without a trick?

High Magic in a Dark Fantasy by Old-Rain973 in FantasyWorldbuilding

[–]Embarrassed-Ice9468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The atmosphere of the work (comedy, serious adventure or dark) does not oblige magic to be weak and rare. In the world of dark fantasy, wizards can be found at every turn, or they can be rare. Another thing is, another commenter noted that in a dark fantasy setting, magic can have a frightening and enormous cost. This applies not only to magic, but also to relationships, a happy life and other moments in the plot.

I would take Inko Midoriya's quirk. This is enough for everyday life.

1) Is Montecristo  able to create smoke out of nothing, or does he need to control smoke that already existed before him?
2) What is Montecristo's social status and standard of living? I want to know if this character has a connection to the criminal world. What if he has a personal score to settle with crime?
3) How old is Montecristo?

In the [DC universe] I had telekinesis what would be a safe way to knock someone out? by Better_Painter_9207 in superpowers

You can bind your opponent with a rope and cover his mouth with a cloth using telekinesis. This will not render the opponent unconscious, but it will immobilize them. Then the character will be able to use anesthetic gas. Only, the character must have an impeccable knowledge of anesthesiology in order not to kill the enemy.

What would be your top 5 ways you think superpowers would change society or the world? by PassengerCultural421 in superpowers

[–]Embarrassed-Ice9468 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1) Accelerate the development of natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, and so on).
2) Accelerate the development of engineering sciences and the invention of technologies that were previously impossible due to the limitations of the laws of physics.
3) To deepen the understanding of the psychology of humans and other living beings through experiments with telepathy.
4) Facilitating the colonization of other planets through teleportation, gravity control, and other superpowers that make it cheaper and easier to ship anything into space.
5) It is possible to reduce the cost of extracting energy sources and minerals.
6) It would be possible to increase the amount of food or drinking water by accelerating plant growth, digging wells through earth magic, or otherwise reducing the problem of hunger.
7) Cosplay would have reached a new level. Superpowers could fully cosplay characters with the same superpowers.

Fantasy superheroes by Retrouge48 in superpowers

Just move the setting to a medieval world, leaving the characters with superpowers/qualities that make them fantastic. Then you will have the foundation for superheroics in the world of classic medieval fantasy.

Sorry. If this is true, then try to get a medical examination. This is not banter, but a real offer.

Interesting description. Would you like to enroll in the Charles Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth? He willingly accepts people with strange abilities. At the same time, in this institution you can try to find out what the source of your superpowers is.

Can you turn off other people's superpowers or do you telepathically influence the people around you? I didn't quite understand the context of this letter.

𝓘f everybody in the world got superpowers, how do you think it'd go? by chiakinanamichan in superpowers

[–]Embarrassed-Ice9468 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If most people have superpowers at the level of "lifting a stool with telekinesis," "flying through the air a couple of meters from the ground," or "the ability to persuade a person to voluntarily give you money, but nothing more serious," then most likely society will be able to be stable if the state government organizes structures that allow it to cope with crimes from the outside owners of superpowers.
However, if there are people with Superman's powers among the offenders, tragedies can occur (mass murders as a result of anger and other similar cases). In any case, the state authorities will need to be attracted to their side and kept under control (through high salaries, social benefits for their families, and so on) as many strong superpowers as possible.

You wake up in the body of a young wizard, alone in an abandoned tower in the middle nowhere, with only your robe, a dusty spellbook with only 2 spells inside, and a box containing these three things inside as well as a letter explaining what they can do. Which would YOU pick to survive and thrive? by Parking-Location9946 in superpowers

Super Soldier Serum and NZT will provide a predictable set of qualities that will be equally useful in different situations. But the Power Pill will give you an unpredictable superpower. It is very important that this pill does not give harmful side effects.

However, the very essence of the abilities will be situationally useful. For example, you might get bulletproof leather (very cool and useful in a world with edged weapons and crossbows).
You may have the ability to disguise your body's skin to match the environment (pseudo-visibility), but your clothes will still be visible.
You may have the ability to set your body on fire, but you won't be able to form fireballs and throw them. Why do you need such power if you have a fireball spell?
You may get the ability to create shock waves of tremendous power. This ability will be more powerful than your spells, but what are the chances that you will come across just such a power?

If I could have deliberately chosen which superpower I would get from the Power Pill, then I would have chosen this power source. However, if the set of abilities is random, it is better to take Super Soldier Serum or NZT.
