For example:
- You can fly but you can never stop flying
- You can turn invisible, but never be seen again
Healing of all kinds. Ageing, sickness, and wounds.
Can’t die. It’s gonna suck in 800 trillion years. Imagine if you can’t sleep either because you don’t need to recuperate.
The dream of engineers: they can’t get sick so no depression, they don’t need to sleep so infinite focus and learning, and half a million years would be sufficient to build a large underground automated city and preparing space travel to find solutions for their curse
You suddenly die of cancer that you’ve healed faster than your immune system can kill
Eh, I would class that under sickness.
I am incredibly resilient.
The doctors will have to find a chemist to even do surgery
The ability to cure any disease at will. Also the ability would be transferable. So if i touch an object, and then have that object touched another individual touches it or consumes, it would heal a disease or ailment.
I would then claim to have discovered the cure for Alzheimer’s. I would just touch a large fat of some sort of liquid and then ship out A vile of liquid from that vat And then the person is cured of Alzheimer’s.
Within a year, I’d come up with a cure for another disease and then start shipping out the vials for that too.
Maybe a year after that I come out with cures for 3 diseases. I’d have to skill it up so that way people weren’t immediately suspicious of how I came up with curious for everything.
I would have to charge enough so I could keep expanding the company paying for employees and machinery needed to create the vials package it ship it, etc. I’d charge a dollar per vial sent out for my personal profit. With a minimum personal profit of $40,000 US per year.
And just so the world isn’t screwed when I’m dead, I would transfer the ability onto multiple object objects. So for example, I would put it on rocks. That way they could use the rock to then touch the vile of liquid to create more medicine.
Since I could never turn it off, I would just keep healing a small patch of skin on my big toe or something. Since skin is continuously aging and technically aging is a disease I would have no problem on the side effects. It would just continuously heal that patch until I want to heal something else.
One vile would cure one ailment or disease.
Yeah I have said I want a transmissible immunity to sexually transmitted disease, that would save a lot of suffering, and be a lot of fun to get the immunity going out into the world but all disease? Is that advisable? There may be some need for it to keep evolution going, or some effect we can’t predict. I like the way you are rolling it out here.
This is pretty simple though right?
Healing factor - always-on healing.

Deadpool?
What if there’s an earthquake and you get stuck under a mountain of rubble? Could take months for you to get out of there. How about a skiing accident involving an avalanche? Could take even longer When you are completely immortal, you suddenly start to view certain risks in a very different way.
How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?
Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.
Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.
Always on healing includes mental health :)
Healing factor - always-on healing.
Don’t we already have that?
Not for everything and not good enough though.
Especially for something as complex as mental illnesses/trauma your body has hardly any ability to heal by itself.
Though then we can get pedantic: How long should you feel down when someone you love died? Because I don’t consider it a bad thing for something like this to take a while before healing. It’d suck to attend their funeral having completely healed already.
Sometimes the always on healing works so good cells start doing things like reactivating telomerase and ignoring the signals for programmed cell death and become cancer, sometimes turning effectively immortal.
That’s basically psoriasis.
Boom. cancer. Now you’re deadpool
Have you not read the hundreds of stories about people unable to die?
I’ll take Mr. Manhattan’s power set for 500, Alex. Oh yeah, its naked time.
You just wanna be blue.
For some reason I can’t see this image, but I’m betting it’s Fünke
Peter Funke? The famous anal-rapist?
Powers of a deity.
You are now Cyamites, the god of beans. Use your powers wisely.
Could be worse. Highly nutritious foodstuff providing plenty of vitamins, protein, and fiber. I could do a lot to alleviate some world hunger immediately. Making people fart all over the world would be fun, too.
I could also put beans in the no-bean-chili gatekeepers chili. Evil bean god could be fun, too.
I love the idea of evil bean god! Thought it was a nice easter bunny chocolate? BAM, BEANS.
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR CELEBRATING ANOTHER GOD, HERETIC.
There is petty revenge and then there is this.
Revenge is a dish best served with beans.
Sixth sense/ Intuition
Being lucky all the time would be cool. The only time I can think it might be a hindrance would be at a casino because they’d think I’m cheating but I don’t gamble so it doesn’t matter I guess.
Just play the lottery once.
Now you are rich, lucky, and screwed. Hopefully those last 2 cancel each other out.
Why screwed?
Because humans are terrible
Large jackpot winners face double digit multiples of probability versus the general population to be the victim of:
Homicide (something like 20x more likely). Drug overdose
Bankruptcy (how’s that for irony?)
KidnappingAnd triple digit multiples of probability versus the general population rate to be:
Convicted of drunk driving
The victim of Homicide (at the hands of a family member) 120x more likely in this case, ain’t love grand?
A defendant in a civil lawsuit
A defendant in felony criminal proceedingsBut since those events are based on probability, you would be one of the lucky few without those problems!
Like I said, hope the last 2 cancel each other out.
The devastating climate effects of m-p{3} were well known through most of the 21st century until their death.
What is MP3
A widely used digital audio format that allows for compression which can reduce the file size by around 85% with only a minor loss in quality
The OP I replied to.
Cumberboi was his name and he mentioned nothing about mp3 so I still don’t know what you are talking about
Oh well fuck me I replied to the wrong thing! Disregard my idiocy.
I would choose to have the power to turn off superpowers and then I’d turn off my superpower.
What if breathing is your superpower
No, I mean turning off the superpower of turning off superpowers that can’t be turned off.
What if breathing out only is your superpower
Ko re ga requiem da
Super strength. I’m just always strong. Cool.
You would have to recalibrate your interactions, or you’d be breaking things and people constantly.
And don’t ever lash out on accident (even if it’s because you got ticklish or you jerked in your sleep)
The USSR obviously
Easy: Max out luck. Literally no downsides
You luckily have an abbreviation in your DNA that means your tellemeres don’t shorten. You can’t age. You reach 87000 years old. Humans have gone extinct. You are trapped alone on a dead earth. You try to shoot yourself but the gun misfires. You jump off w cliff, but a sudden updraft catches you and you land safely. In this multiverse, luck is now objective.
I think defining luck could be weird. Is it lucky to not die when I want to? Or lucky to do so in a more humane, less painful or instantaneous way?
I luckily found a way to end myself in that scenario or I luckily never experienced that in the first place and had a wonderful life. Luck very subjective to the person that’s why there’s no drawbacks to it
Good point, if you’re 100% subjectively lucky, not only you would have that ‘live-forever DNA’ but also everyone else that you’d wish for, i.e. all your loved ones. And if you were looking for a new friend or partner, you’d always find a perfect match immediately.
I guess such an ability might have severe negative consequences for the part of the universe you dislike or don’t care about. But from a purely egocentric point of view, I can’t see any drawbacks at the moment.
super good luck. like the the chick from deadpool 2 I think or longshots if it always stayed on.
the bad thing about have always luck on is that bad things can happen to you anyways on prior of your “good luck”
I mean its “always” active. no?
well, if your mom or dad got shot instead of you and that means good luck, then i guess i’m wrong
Never becoming deaf and always having good hearing. I’m not sure I’d be able to enjoy life anymore if I became deaf, so just having good hearing would make the rest of my life worth living, without any major side effects I could think of.
Reading this reminded me that my ears are ringing. I can ignore it but if anything draws attention it can get pretty bad.
