so the title says it, im curious to see what minds we have here and which super hero powers u guys would wish for.

ill start. personally, at the moment i have two things on my mind:

invisibility - just imagine the possibilities with invisibility. i can get a bunch of free stuff, punch whoever in the face who was annoying me, pull easy pranks on people, push people into water and sooo many more.

fire (like the guy from fantastic 4) - it looks very cool since i could fly around and cook things with my hands. also, i would never be cold!

lets hear yours!

Not a superhero, but this is something I've had conversations about and without question I'd chose the abilities of Susan Sto-Helit. Being able to live outside time being the primary one. One could do more with ones real time with the flexibility allowed by the use of non-time.

Living outside time? So what, meaning like a plank time for us is infinity for you?

Reading minds.

K, maybe not quite a superhero ability, but it'd be interesting nonetheless

A slightly more simplistic set of comparible powers is used by Hiro in Heroes. With Susan it is not that time stops or slows to its minimum possible rate of passage, but that it is part of the universe which she doesn't need to bother with if she doesn't want to. Similar rules apply to matter, which she can freely ignore (walk through walls) and to the governances of the rules of perception (she sees things as they actually are, and not as they are generally seen) she's arguably substicious.

Time doesn't pass and so things do not "age" or "progress" but this does not negate the possibility of activity taking place during non-time. It is just that when these chances reinsert themselves into time, they were always in the state they were placed in before time re-establishes itself. This would be the substicious perception. The generally seen perception would be of objects suddenly dissapearing, changing or appearing.

I never seem to have enough time to get the things I want to do done, and the idea of getting 2 weeks of revision done the night before an exam would also be a bonus.

I was going to say Dr. Stephen Strange, but Duggeh has me convinced. I'm going to jump on the Susan Sto-Helit band wagon!
