Quote from kuraruka 2u3l3q

Quote from kiddo

okay, well you might as well go through the whole list of abilities and start explaining how none of these can exist and start killing the thread for everyone. think Heroes.

anyway i'm pretty sure this thread is subjective. if i want time manipulation, i'm getting the friggin time manipulation however the hell i want it! 😃

Of course it's all hypothetical and subjective. And what do we do with things that are hypothetical and subjective? We discuss them. Implicit in the thread is the assumption that the power exists, but if you could have it however you wanted then there'd be no point in defining the power. For example, with time manipulations as it's commonly understood (speeding up or slowing down time for yourself or the world around you), there's no actual way to make yourself immortal, not and interact with the world around you anyway. If you could have a power do something outside of its description then it would just be called 'god mode'.

Quote from kiddo

Quote from kuraruka

[quote=kiddo][quote=kuraruka]Also, assuming your body remains eternally youthful, could the same be said of your mind? Would you be subject to the Alzheimer's as you grew older?

alzheimer's is not a mental disease. you won't get alzheimer's if your body has eternal youth.

I stand corrected, but the general question still stands. Brain cells typically don't divide or regenerate, and since all cells normally have a finite lifespan, you would want to ask the question of whether or not your brain would essentially rot as you aged, even if all the other tissues in your body stayed eternally young.

like i said, if your body was eternally youthful, you'd think your cells would have an infinite lifespan too because they're part of your body. as in they'd never age. as in they would never die because of the "eternal" factor. brain cells are part of your body too, so the same concept would apply, no? so they wouldn't degrade, meaning no alzheimer's for the eternally youthful kid.

and there are other faults of super-intelligence too, but i'm just too lazy to care and i'd rather just let people say what they wanted instead of killing their dreams of gaining supernatural powers through radiation and whatnot.[/quote]

Ah, but are we assuming that cells work as they normally do, but without dying, or with no Hayflick limit, or through some other principle?

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY[/quote]
... like i said, you're killing it. i don't care. i stopped caring after i made my first post, which answered the thread. will you stop dragging this conversation?

i'm also surprised that there's no option for controlling time =o

its the super power i'd absolutely decided on since i was little... and have dissected at nearly every angle... there is no greater power D=

i always hated dragonball villians...

they can regenerate, steal abilities, one hit killing move, and last but not the least the ability to reproduce... geez, the villians in mangas always fight underhanded that it actually quite makes a comical reaction....

Who's dragging the conversation? You were the one who responded to me first. In any case, I'm still having fun. If you don't care, why do you keep replying?

-_- i don't like leaving responses unanswered. it's called common courtesy. seems like you're the one leading the conversation with all of the extra information, so i assume you're the one dragging it.

I'd like elemental powers. It would be great if I am able to use all of the elements but I can only pick one. That makes my decision a bit difficult but I know in the end I'd pick fire.

Immortality without any kind of power is useless, is like asking for eternal imprisonment.

I would take a combination of at least 3 of the ones in the list
