    Default Random Superpowers

    Go to The Superpower Wiki and click the random page button on the right. The page that comes up is now your superpower (no rerolls).

    Assuming the rest of the world remains the same, how do you use your new ability? For good, evil or for the lulz?

    Mine: Double Jump

    The ability to jump without the aid of a physical surface. Not to be confused with flight or levitation.
    I buy a house, hollow it out and put all my possessions on shelves on the second floor so I have an excuse to use this weaksauce ability.

    I promise most are better than mine.

    K-B

    Edit: Due to DBZ-esque power creep you now get 3 powers, plus you get to pick an alternate 3 from the Superpower List.

    Shapeshifting
    The power in which one can transform to alter his or her body to match that of another person, animal, or object.
    Oh wow, assuming unlimited shapeshifting, this is way too easy to exploit. Shapeshifting into a being with all superpowers on the site, and ascending...

    http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Levitation

    Users psychically generate an anti-gravitational, electroplasmatic or psychic energy around desired target, being oneself or subject/object, so that it may hover. Can be used on oneself with a greater extent, enabling a limitation of "Flight", controlling highs and lows of levitation. This maneuvering allows users to avoid targeting from ground level assaults. May allow subjects/objects to float with a restrain and higher abundance of restrictions. Object may be granted floation even as a levitating user is absent.


    I can hover.

    Air Manipulation
    The power to control atmospheric air molecules with one’s mind.

    I'd never have trouble flying kites again. I wouldn't even have to wait for a windy day
    On those those annoying windy dusty days where I can barely open my eyes for all the flying dirt and grit, I can just still the wind.
    I'd also do so on windy days during our color guard performances. No more missing tosses because the flags and rifles fly up and land ten feet away!
    And I'd be able to fly

    Acid Generation: The power to secrete a highly corrosive acid, which the user is immune to. Also known as Acid Secretion.

    Can be concentrated to be exuded through the hands or lips. The acid (based on the acidity willed) can dissolve various objects.

    Can even be projected, like the user throwing a gob of acid.


    Hmm. Not hugely useful in day to day life, but at least I can run around pretending to be Kobra Khan.

    "The power to secrete oil from the skin or mouth"

    I guess I can gross other people out with it, but I'd also be grossing myself out.

    The user can control light. Can bend light to generate meager illusions, become partially invisible, send forth dazzling blinding rays, generate serene crepuscular rays, and even concentrate all surrounding light into a beam, shape and control light, create cloaks, and solidify it.

    So, I have invisibility and can make light beams that cut through almost anything? Awesome.

    One of the first things I would do, assuming other people in the world also have powers, would be to find some other people and team up with them.

    Other fun uses?
    I could steal stuff pretty easily. I could run up to people, blast light in their face and blind them. Oooh I can also look at two places at once, and have a partial flight.

    More on the good side of things? I guess I would probably just make a superhero persona for myself and be a generic save people, stop evil hero.

    I could probably do a bunch of other nice things that i'm too lazy to think of.

    The power to control the movement of earthen structures/materials with one’s mind. Also known as Geokinesis, Terrakinesis, Geomancy or Earthbending.

    Yeah, I would basically be Toph. Notably less badass and not blind, but still. I'd probably get a career at construction sites, mines and such and do my thing with crazy martial art poses and choreography to confuse onlookers as I cleave mountains in twain, dig impossible tunnels and help build roads where none have been built before. Then I would travel to the nearest great desert and start surfing on the dunes while screaming "Shai-Hulud!" as loud as I can.

    Man, that'd be sweet.

    I think I hit the jackpot. I got Spatial Manipulation.

    The user can elongate space to warp objects, crunch space together to send objects into oblivion and bridge distances together or even generate a field that causes a continuous loop in space.

    Usages
    * Create portals by folding the fabric of space.
    * Make nexuses.
    * Summon objects.
    * Transport objects.
    * Teleport
    * Phase through walls.
    * Cause objects to dissappear.
    * Can store large objects in some storage. (Put a large fridge on a bag)
    * Can cause objects to break or implode by warping the space around it.
    * Can make far places very near.
    * Can trap people in another dimension


    I guess I...distort space to create a perpetual free energy generator. Become fabulously wealthy as a consequence. Usher in a new post-scarcity utopian society. Become power-mad in my search for immortality, plunging the world into dystopian fascism mad-scientist land. Get assassinated by a ragtag group of underground rebels after killing their comic relief character in the penultimate confrontation.

    First of all I'd use it to place limiters upon my own power, restrict myself to Superman levels unless the extent of them is truely needed. After that I establish myself as a Superhero. Of course I may solve world hunger and other crises such as that, but that'll be simple reality manipulation for me.

    Actually, you'd make a pretty good firefighter, since you can just kill fires. Course the water is nice to stop it from restarting once you let oxygen in again, and you'd have to be careful of people.

    Also, you can't remove air, just oxygen.

    Ha, kinda funny considering people were jokingly calling me a goth today because i randomly decided to wear all black. Anyway, I wouldn't say this would be first on my list since I wouldn't get a ton of practice on people and it wouldn't be useful in my civilian existence (except it would be fun at parties). I couldn't really use it in public since it's sorta evil or seems to be and might not be too tight with the public.

    Ha, kinda funny considering people were jokingly calling me a goth today because i randomly decided to wear all black. Anyway, I wouldn't say this would be first on my list since I wouldn't get a ton of practice on people and it wouldn't be useful in my civilian existence (except it would be fun at parties). I couldn't really use it in public since it's sorta evil or seems to be and might not be too tight with the public.
    So I guess you get to be my nemisis? Or we form a Dark/Light team combo.
    Thanks to Skeppio for my avatar.
