Being able to speak all languages fluently would be pretty cool. I'd like that.

Why not take mind control, then you can make people think you have the all of the other powers.

I have all those superpowers, but, believe me, it sucks. People always aks "Hey, could you make this or that, it should be easy with all your superpowers!". Of course, you want to help, but then they ask over and over again, and when you say "No!" they´re are offended.

Then they start to whisper behind your back "He think´s he´s something special because of his powers, umm". Soon you don´t have friends anymore.

Therefore I don´t use my superpowers anymore. I mean, saving the universe is cool in the beginning, but it gets boring soon.

*Sigh* It is not easy with such abilities....

Good one, Skanky. I'm too lazy to actually go back and quote you, but I did.

Oh yah, and it would definitely be telepathic powers for me.

Need to sneak into a building and learn secrets of an evil cult? Make everyone believe you are a member of that cult.

The person that knows the person you are impersonating is dead walks in? Make everyone believe you are invisible.

Someone is shooting at you? Make them hallucinate that they are blind.

Someone who hasn't noticed you yet is manning an AA platform? Make them hallucinate that there are aircraft in the sky.

I've been playing too many rpgs recently.

Doesn't count. LTEC is MtG's wife. She was laughing at the absurdity of that statement (being his wife, she doesn't believe he knows everything about everything... after all, she's the wife... SHE knows everything about everything ), not the joke.

Unintentional laughs, based on another interpretation of the joke doesn't count .

Sorry .

The Great Sages told me a long time ago, there is no answer to this mystery. The women themselves do not even know the answer to this question.

"Go unto the world son, and do not care, be a player and get your groove on, and let the spirits take you where they will. All else is gravy, dog, gravy."

Mind control is pretty cool for the controller, but it sucks for the victim. I mean, they might end up 300 miles from home, wake up one morning without any pants or shoes, and then for keep blanking out for the next three days and have no idea what just happened. And then they find out that they stole the car the took to get there, have no insurance OR a license, and no money.

If you REALLY want to fvck with someone, you also make them talk to themselves, as LOUDLY as possible, in crowded public places, while wearing a bikini. Oh, the JOY.

Dance, monkey, DANCE! I'm glad you think you're funny.

Mind Control. To prove it listen to this. If you need to go into a govenment building to find secret information force a worker to tell it to you instead of becoming invisible. If you are late to work because of the transit system then just convince your boss you came early instead of being able to fly.

Being a pathological liar does not make you a superpower. It just makes you a good actor.
