You Can Have Any Super Power, But...
« on: November 20, 2012, 08:15:22 AM »
Over on reddit, You Can Have Any Super Power, But It Comes With A Catch...

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/13ev2t/reddit_you_can_have_a_super_power_but_it_comes/

Here's an example:

Quote
You can get how much money you want. Catch: Only in nickels.

I'd crush my enemies to death with mountains of nickles, with cheesy-ass lines like "take five!"

Codename: Nick L.

The downside to that is that, after you are killed "off-scene" and make your dramatic re-entry into the fray, shouting "Nick L.'s Back!" would probably lead to your immediate demise.

you should coin that.

Tried to think of some of my own...

You have super-senses... Catch: they only work in public restrooms.

You can see the future... Catch: only when staring into your dog's rear end.

You have three foot-long adamantium blades spring from the back of each fist.... Catch: you are unable to bend your wrists when they are retracted.

This is harder than you would think. 

You have the ability to state the obvious ... catch ... lack the common sense to not state it.  (oh wait, people do that anyway!)

I'll try and think of better ones.  LOL

The power of lightning

The catch… I can’t use any electronic device without it blowing up or shorting out. If I touch anyone… well this would happen

Although if its someone like Johnny Cage… then no harm done

Then you could be codename: Captain Obvious.

You have the mutant ability to seduce/have ANYONE of the opposite sex....catch...you're gay.

According to the 1/2 the posters on CBR, if this is your power, your codename is Gambit.  If you can't seduce ANYONE of EITHER sex, your codename is Iceman.

Although if its someone like Johnny Cage… then no harm done

Remember when everyone was up in arms with how violent this game was?  Now it's just cartoonishly silly.  If you have this power, I think your codename would just be: ROD.   :D  Just teasing!  Sorry, r0d!

Okay.

So you have the power to change the properties of an object into another form of matter by touch, (ie changing lead to gold)...but you have to touch the object with your nipples.

Hehehehe! Yeah, I remember seeing news reports about that... so idiotic

But as for my power... at first it would be pretty cool, like The 3 Storms from Big Trouble in Little China.

But as time goes on... I would become pure lightning or some type of energy

Ok, so the lightning power didn't turn out so well… so I’ll be Stick Figure

The catch… well, I can't do sex but I can give people a stick job… yes it is very unpleasant

I'm a Martial Arts master (the one in white)

The catch… I'm stuck in these 1970's and 80's Kung-Fu films, my English is terribly, the words don't match my mouth when I speak, even though were trying to look and fight like the Chinese… we're really Korans. I can kick the s*** out of this guy (the one in black), but he can kick my ass and kill me just because he got pissed off at me for killing his master.

I can literally fight Arcade enemies and bosses just like in that movie Nightmares in chapter The Bishop of Battle… but if I lose… I'm screwed. No restart for me

You know... it all depends on the meaning of the word 'gay'... You could just be happy. ;)

Were the 1890's the gay nineties? You sure it's not the 1990's? ???

I'm an unstoppable killing psychopath like Michael Myers… the catch… if I try to kill a little kid who's related to me, all she has to do is call me "uncle"… I'll stop and cry for no reason at all…
