...and pick those powers and your costume. Also, your secret identity if you have one. 

 

Keep in mind that going too ubermensch (As in simply choosing omnipotence) is boring, but otherwise make it as powerful or subtle as you want. 

 

I'll go with "light manipulation." Bending light to create illusions, (like Dazzler) or cause invisibility, or coalesce into a weaponized form (Like Dagger in "Cloak and Dagger") and force fields (like Susan Storm).

 

Costume: Opalescent white. There would be a kind of faux corset and some unnecessary floaty things (like Ororo Munroe's arm cape).

 

My second choice would be weather or plant manipulation.

Walking around i quite regularly think why can't i just zap there instead. Therefore I'd like the John Druitt teleportation ability without the insanity ideally, Costume all black, i've even got a black duster to go with already.

[HuldraDancer]

I think I'd go with time manipulation.  Freezing time would be on the table so would rewinding it and fast forwarding it but only up until the present day like I couldn't go beyond today's date for example but I could go back two months the speed up to now. 

 

No idea about the costume though since I'm dreadful with colors.

 

A secondary power may be something like a variety of teleportation.

 

Those two would help optimize my extreme laziness.

[Undead Han]

Time travel is a good one.

 

$ 400,000,000 lottery jackpot, here I come!

 

Costume: Idle Rich / Gentleman of Leisure

That shows how lazy I am when I thought of time travel I was thinking of how to use it best for napping as much as you want without getting in trouble.

You can always nap on your piles of money after that lottery jackpot.

I could totally go for the napping as much as I want thing. Also, to finally have the time to play all the video games I want to play.

As for me, my superhero power would be shape changing. I'd make myself look like someone famous and then photobomb other people's pictures .

[lynroy]

My imagination doesn't go far enough to come up with anything.

[Akrabra]

Same. 

 

Ok i actually had some time to think about this, and i came up with something.

 

I would be Timewarp - A superhero with the ability to bend time to his will. Whether its speeding it up, slowing it down, teleport or travel back in time. Though this comes at a cost as it may change anything and everything.

Power: Mind Control. I tell someone to do something and they do it to the best of their understanding of what I mean. Now, granted, this is something that's generally more associated with villainy than heroism but I'd like to think that I have the moral character to use it for the greater good (which may or may not also happen to include me becoming obscenely rich and getting everything I want). Imagine being able to end any conflict with a single utterance. Imagine telling people to be nicer to each other and them actually doing it. Imagine making Martin Shkreli give all his money away while slapping himself in the face.

 

Name: Logos (pronounced "Lah-gus") Doesn't quite flow off the tongue, but I can't think of any other term that would better encapsulate my power.

 

Costume: Would Jedi robes be too on-the-nose? I don't know. Something with robes. I don't imagine I'll need to do much fighting and I'd like to be comfortable while ordering people around.

 

For a more standard superhero power, I'd take gravity control. I could fly (sort of), levitate objects, and be able to subdue and crush people with their own body mass. The costume  would be plain, with a solid black circle on the torso surrounded by a halo of white that gradually fades back into black, mimicking the appearance of a black hole in space. Can't really think of a good name. Maybe "Horizon" (as in event horizon).

I like it a lot. Both of them, actually. "Villain powers" are...kind of sexier. 

 

Btw, even your more standard superhero power is very, "I will subdue and/or crush you."

[Lady Artifice]

Oh, I didn't pick my superhero name.

 

..."Prism," maybe. 

[Duelist]

Joke answer, the most OP superpower of all: prep time.

Actual answer, the ability to change myself at an atomic level between being solid, liquid or gas.
Any power I have has to be able to be used for good, bad and, most importantly, trolling.

Costume would be a black hood and leather armour.

Name: Smoke

[LightningPoodle]

Power: The power of luck.

 

Costume: Black leather, with white and black face paint.

 

So really, I want to be Domino.

[Serelir]

I'd probably be a Supervillain rather than a Superhero.  I'd love to make people's heads explode, but that would be messy. I think it would be wonderful to be able to persuade people to do anything. I'm also attracted to the power of entropy: wave my hand, and machines rust; electronics short-circuit; ice melts; fire fizzles. Sucking the life out of an enemy to boost my own power also has its appeal. So difficult to choose!

 

My costume would involve a black corset shaped like overlapping pieces of chitin with bloody scarlet between each piece; a frothy, translucent black skirt; shiny pointed black boots and long black gloves.

 

Just call me Wither.

 You think so, too? I've just always been more drawn to calm, methodical displays of control. There's also a certain allure to having influence over things that are hidden and difficult to struggle against.

 

Plus, mind control is pretty much the most intimate power ever, especially if you consider "the mind" to include both conscious and unconscious processes. Having access to things like emotions can have pretty wild applications. I mean, I could tell someone to be happy and instantly cause them to receive spikes of serotonin and dopamine in the brains. It would certainly come in handy when I need people to stop panicking after they realize that I can control their minds.

 

Btw, even your more standard superhero power is very, "I will subdue and/or crush you."

Yeah, I could have probably worded that to sound just a little less menacing...Well, if it helps, know that I'll generally opt for subduing over crushing. However, that doesn't necessarily preclude subduing combined with the threat of crushing. And...I just described what my villainous monologue would consist of, didn't I?

[SardaukarElite]

The ability to move through shadows. Optional nerf: the shadows have to be linked. Costume would probably be something like a magician's outfit. Name: Prestige. 

[Uccio]

A superhero, I would rather be villain if I can choose. Those are much more interesting characters.

Something akin to telepathy and telekinesis. I want to make people kneel before me. Also magical abilities would be good, calling the elements to do my bidding. And a ability to travel through shadows. I would wear something black and sleak, with silver. Long black leather overcoat and boots.

A villain name, hmm... Dusk.

And anyone calling me a duck would feel my wrath!
(only Wither can do that)

[Serelir]

Alright, what happens when we get Wither, Dusk and Logos in a room? Will we all do each other's bidding and feel completely blissful about it?

 

Until those superheroes mess things up. You there, stop hiding in the shadows. Show yourself!

[SardaukarElite]

The powers might cancel each other out. Or they might allow you to form a hive mind. Or you might just end up in an endless loop of "stop hitting yourself!".

Assuming the time travelers are endlessly sleeping in, the heroes don't have much of a counter yet.

Hive mind! WE ARE ONE. YOU WANT TO OBEY US, YESSSSSSSSS!

Arti has her illusions. Let's see if she can fool us. 

[DomeWing333]

I think we'd encounter a sort of rock-paper-scissors-type scenario. I can mind control you; you can wither away Uccio; Uccio can telepathically sense when I intend to mind control him and strangle my vocal cords with telekinesis. So...an uneasy stalemate with the potential for betrayal at any second?

 

And also, how did I just get recruited into the villain side? Just because I have villainous powers...and villainous mannerisms...and maybe a slight interest in taking over the world, doesn't mean that I'd definitely be a villain...I could also be that guy on the good side who no one trusts because I keep tenting my fingers and cackling maniacally to myself.

[Serelir]

And also, how did I just get recruited into the villain side? 

Because you want to be a villain, you're just letting yourself be held back by the notion that the hero faction has the best cookies. Even though you don't actually enjoy their bland, grocery-store sawdust vanilla cookies, you keep eating them out of habit, alas.

 

But if you just reach out your hand, you can have the darkside cookies. Just one little bite, and the luscious succulence will obliterate all those flimsy good intentions. At last you will fathom the depth, the complexity, the ecstasy of EVIL.

[DomeWing333]

Hmm. Your confectionery-based argument for evil-doing is indeed compelling. Alright, then. Villainy it is.

 

More specifically, though, I think I'd be a villain with a "Utopia Justifies the Mean"/"The Evils of Free Will" kind of mentality. The kind of villain who does good things and has noble intentions but whose means of doing so are of questionable moral grounds and may cause a lot of harm if things go awry. So, basically, I'd be the Architect...with mind control powers.

Love it! I think I might need to try to draw this villainess at some point.

 

Our costume ideas are so similar. 

 

 
 You think so, too? I've just always been more drawn to calm, methodical displays of control. 

 

 

Same here. Magneto is a bit of a favorite of mine, especially on those occasions when he's depicted as particularly controlled and eloquent. 

 

I just love wizard types.

Definitely. It's kind of strange that I like playing rogues best in DA, because in most other things I prefer spellcasters, telekinetics, and empaths. 

 

So basically, you'd control the world in a day, and just instruct people to be happy about it.

 

Yes, you're definitely on the villain team.  But I rather like the RDF's resident supervillain team. They all sound frightening and remarkably compelling at the same time.
