Hell, I'd just go with any power which could destroy the world in one blow like (forgive me the DBZ term) kamehameha, or whatever it's called.
Just make a public announcement:"Hey people, I can destroy the world, all countries surrender to me, make me leader of the world and execute every other guy with a super power, capish?"

@ /-\lastor - What happens if they refuse to surrender? Do you carry out your threat?

No "If you do not bow down to me, I will destroy your civilizations, consuming them like ripe plums and casting aside the pits"? Where your super-villian pride in striking a pose and issuing nonsensical megalomaniacal claims?

Hmmm... good point, I'll just destroy another planet in the solar system at the precise time and place where the rubble will hit a part of earth where I'm not.

But then the other people with super powers would come after you!

And I'd like to be able to fly... and just in case for /-\lastor,
shoot energyballs. Like in Dragonball Z.

Or the ability to perform real magic, so no card tricks

.
I'd like that...

BTW, cool topic Rob!

I agree with Fable. Super-villains usually end up defeated by some repulsively wholesome goody-goody - one of the few benefits for them is getting all the good lines before they are beaten. They should make the most of it.

But you'd take them AND the rest of the world with you.

Hell, if I'm not here to benefit from it what right does the world have to exist?

Hmm, interesting point.
Care to make an alliance? Together, we'll take over the world!
Then I'll defeat you so I can rule the world by myself... gna gna gna...

"Evil will always win because good is dumb!"

Hmmmmm, oke, I could use some help with my scheming. You're on!
Better keep the location of some of my doomsday devices to to myself.

I'd pick time travel for my ability. You could do really important things such as travel back in time at parties to retrieve a full bottle of Jack Daniels etc, as well as playing the stock-market, betting on horse races etc. Why bother blowing up the world when you could rule it financially?

Because of the combination Murphy's Law and quantum physics. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong and everything that can effect anything else will effect anything else. So by moving a mere air particle in the past you might prevent you grandparents from ever meeting.
So you'll inevitably destroy yourself.

I´d say flying, too. Or maybe just superior speed, like some jet li character.

I've been dreaming

No one seems to be making the notion of hero or villian. So I will start.

A villian with the ability to control differing sizes of spheres of gravity. Much like Magneto's ability to control magnatism, I could bend and twist gravity at will aka make it 20 times heavier than earths gravity in a small (invisible of course) sphere that I toss at your legs, causing you to be nonmobile. I could fly by creating fields of less that earth gravity etc etc. I could be super buff cause I work out in heavy gravity etc. The larger the field (sphere shapes always) the longer it takes in concentraton and harder to hold (In othe words I cant lift buildings with my power at will but with enough time I could put taco bell on top of del taco etc)

That would be awsome.

Wasn't there some old Spiderman villain who could do that, in the really old strips (think 8-10 years back). Some small guy in a pink suit with a huge head (no I'm serious, he really looked like this), he could control gravity to a limit by some sort of small discs which he attached to things. I even think he was a major villain for a while.

huh

Not sure but gonna check today and try to find him, I have always been fasinated by a char like that. A simple power (in essence of the marvel world and realm of different powers) that can be used so many different ways.

/-\lastor · Post by **/-\lastor** » Mon Oct 07, 2002 12:25 pm

Er.... controlling gravity isn't a "simple power", gravity is the most dominant force in the universe. Everything creates gravity and is affected by it. If you could control gravity completely you could split atoms with a thought, destroy entire universes by thinking about it, keep Lola Ferrari from toppling.
Think about it, that is NO "simple power".

Definition of simple

What I meant by "simple" wasn't in the terms of complication. Most comic book characters used to have one determining factor that makes them who they are, now everyones got 10 powers and other crap etc. i consider it like gambits power. Gambit is considerably one of the most dangerous powers ever (Imagine his power used for direct evil *Gambit grabs wolvie's shirt, turning it into a small bomb... gambit makes prof x chair into... well lets just say he could be a lot more damaging than just some guy throwing cards*

Still Gambit's power isn't looked upon as seriusly as it could...

heres a bit

Freefall's Gen-Active powers allow her to manipulate the effects of gravity on herself, other people and objects of various size. She is able to levitate, and can increase the pull of gravity on individuals rendering them unable to move or decrease the pull of gravity which would allow them to levitate.
