Bah, thanks to my years as a shut-in tech dweeb I already have lots of Gadgets, a Feral appearance, and I Super Smell.

Intellect, immortal, shape shifter.

Shape shifter makes the attractive male/female redundant.
Intellect will get you gadgets/implants/power suit. After a bit of work which you have infinite time to do.

Well, immortality and invulnerability are a definite to deal with some existential dread.

Then I suppose insanely rich because you're going to need a lot of money to make investments on a forever time scale.

[-] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

I feel like teleportation gets you an ability that makes money just fine. Hell, just invulnerability makes you valuable for cleaning up nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Teleportation, invulnerability, siphon abilities.

And then I teleport to everyone in the thread.

Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.

Comic adaptation when?

ใ€ That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon ใ€‘

Attractive female, insanely rich, and teleport. I'll have a gf, have money to finance my 1000 hobbies and help others, and never have to stand an hour in a crowded bus trying to hold in a fart again.

Shape Shifter, Teleport, Insanely rich.

  • Be anyone/anything I want to be
  • Go wherever I want instantly
  • and if i need anything else, just buy it with money
[-] Jtee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Do you need money if you can just teleport into a bank vault, grab some gold, and teleport out? :p

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Attractive Male, Immortal, Divine Powers.

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Attractive male, insanely rich, teleport.

I will no longer be single, I can vote in the US (only the rich get to vote with SuperPACs), I have a low carbon footprint

[-] blackouttripleseven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

shapeshifting teleportation and electricity control sure why not

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Attractive female, immortal, divine powers.

But, not any major religion. Just start making flowers bloom in the name of some minor goddess that has good rules. Go around healing people and giving out free food.

See what that does to the world when basically every main religion is "wrong"

The Wiccans I know are generally good folk, what chaos when healing crystals actually start working?

Attempt to not to go mad with power.

[-] thirteene@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Am I misunderstanding siphon powers? Add invisibility and super speed... Aita?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

I think if you siphon a rich man, you get his wealth. If you siphon a poor man, he'll thank you and ask how much it is to go all the way

[-] notarobot@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Immortal, invulnerable, teleportation

Now I can do whatever I want without having to worry about consequences.

I picked teleportation because I'd hate for example if somehow someone launched me into a sun or black hole and there was nothing I could do forever.

Being immortal an invulnerable I assume I'd be able to get rich very easily.

I also assume the following:

  • immortal mean that you don't die of old age or sickness
  • invulnerable still ages (counter with immortal)
  • divine is not godlike but jesuslike. Can perform miracles or even come back to life but has limited power. Not immortal, not invulnerable

If I'm a plural system do we get to pick 3 for each of us? :)

If it's one set for everyone, I'm going with Shapeshifting, Healing, and the third kind of depends on how this stuff works.

Shapeshifting I'd take even if I was only allowed one power. I'd finally have a body that fits. Several of them, in fact. Some might even be human. We could swap between us physically, and turning into stuff for a while just sounds fun.

Healing because if I don't pick it I'm eventually going to regret it. Shapeshifting might already let me fix any damage that isn't incapacitating or instantly lethal, but that only applies to my own body. I'd want to be able to help others, too.

For the third power... Magic could mean a lot of things, including many on this list. Maybe it's a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of deal, which I'd be fine with. A bunch of spells that cover a wide range of situations but aren't as strong as specializing in a single power.

Teleport is really appealing. Lots I can do with it if I can take people or things with me, or set up something long-range that doesn't require line of sight. If it also allows me to create permanent portals then we're really going to have fun.

Or I could take Invulnerability to remove that "incapacitating or instantly lethal" weakness and really lean into being some kind of unstoppable healer. Divine Powers? Depending on what that does, it could replace Healing while also giving a bunch of other benefits. Hell, if it lets me resurrect people too, and I also take Invulnerability, then I'm basically an emergency respawn point for the entire community.

I already have autism, PTSD and depression. I don't know if I can handle more.

Submariner necromancy size manipulation. Hoards of tiny zombie whales and giant zombie plankton.

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Psionics (a la Legion/David Haller), Divine Powers (more Legion reality-warping fun), Immorality (until the Heat Death of the Universe). I've got a lot I want to do, starting with planetary reform and cultivation of the species.

[-] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Depending on which deity we're talking, "divine powers" is a no-brainer. Besides that: Immortality, invincibility, siphon powers. Use the time I have (i.e. all of it) to learn unarmed combat and weapon master, and become insanely rich and very intelligent, then invent implants and a powersuit (why would anyone pick those if they're a freebie with immortality), then wait around for others who have picked different powers and siphon off their powers. Since I'm invincible, I can also swallow some plutonium and become radioactive.

So, in conclusion, I would like to be a sci-fi lich.

[-] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Insanely rich, Intellect, Invulnerable. You could totally change the world - you would be like Elon Musk with a brain. When the shitty oligarchs throw you out a window, you just bounce.

[-] dovahking@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Most of the powers are achievable with just intellect and magic. The third power to choose is immortality because most of the sci fi or magical immortality has a catch.

[-] Matshiro@szmer.info 3 points 1 month ago

Doesn't divine powers mean you can get anything on that list?

Its weird that not a lot of people decided to choose it.

Feral. Radioactive. Submariner.

[-] MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Invulnerability, Invisibility, Psychic

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

"Attractive Female", "Divine Power" ~~because what power doesn't fall under that~~, and "Insanely Rich."

[-] Jomega@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Shape shifter makes half of these redundant. I pick that, teleport, and electric control.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Im thinking... Rich, healing, teleport

Solve any current problems with money, heal people/animals, easily and instantly go anywhere.

I would attempt to "heal" the ultra-rich from whatever their obvious problem is. Lol

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What if I already have the power of being attractive ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Do I have to waste a choice to keep it?

And does immortality come with eternal youth?
