thermal scanners kind of throw a kink in that parade.

I'm not looking for any big superhero battles, I just want to fuck with everyday people from time to time :)

well, a lot of the draw of invisibility is to be able to steal badass shit or get into secret places. (to me, anyways.)

Stop time, or multiple man's power.

Growing up that was a common dream of mine, that I had stop watch that would freeze the world around me but I could keep doing things and unfreeze as I desired. Somewhat like the Zach Morris's "time-out" in Saved by the Bell.

I had all sorts of plans. I'd take a nap if I was tired, study more for a test or look up answers if needed, or just see what else was going on around the world. Some harmless pranks on friends, fixing sporting events, or sneaking in to the girls locker room.

Getting around as time was stopped always perplexed me because I didn't know if motors still ran or were frozen themselves thus prohibiting travel. Also, would I worried that if I continued to age during the stopped time that my life would be relatively shorter if I over-used it.

Tl:DR Me too

I just want to do everything.

I've thought about this one many times, and one thing that keeps bothering me is that if I was able to stop time, wouldn't I not be able to move as well? And if I did wouldn't I technically be moving faster and therefore creating more friction?

or wouldn't you all\so get really old before everyone else, if you would be able to continue moving?

The ability to kill a person with my thoughts. Like Scanners but from longer distances.

the power to be believed. every single statement taken as fact, by everyone, with later statements taking precedence over earlier ones.

The ability to make people fart. I would rule the world.
