If You Were A Mutant, What Would Your Power Be?
- Thread starter Zombine

Wouldnt altering probability to whatever degree you want just be an equivocation of Omega level reality manipulation.
You could alter the probability of anything to be 100% so the chance of all the pigs in the world suddenly growing wings and being master pilots would be 100% as such it would be so.
As both of them arent Omega Level them fighting each other would lead to one overloading....who overloads first loses.
They cant absorb unlimited amounts of energy.
On Topic
Teleportation.
Not Omega level but hella convenient.

I think it would be cool to have psionic powers that are intrinsically connected to emotion/empathy. I've seen characters where emotion/empathy can inspire them or make them stronger, like Eleven in Stranger Things, but it isn't entirely dependent on the subjective experience of those states. River Tam of Firefly maybe? Dr. Manhattan?
Like, if you're angry, you could make fire, and when you're happy you can make water/light -- but can't do those things when those emotional states aren't being experienced. Or be able to see/perceive strong emotions in others, and (with consent) be able to tap into it and utilize it for different effects. Like channelling the emotions of a lot of folks at once could move mountains or create pocket dimensions or reverse time or some shit.
Basically if emotional labor/energy was a superpower.
I'd imagine that the way it's expressed would be heavily dependent on one's personal/cultural symbolisms -- people from different cohorts (age, class, gender, ethnicity, etc) might have very different manifestations for similar emotions. I think the expression of one's powers could also change over time as their feelings and associations change over time as well, influenced by the world around them and how they've navigated it up to that point.
In theory someone could do practically anything with these abilities, but since no one has omniscient self-awareness and omnipotent self-control, it's an unlikely scenario at best. The power is given its shape by the limits of your being a human self, like light passing through a lens.
Much like casting your first patronus in Harry Potter, you might have a pretty good hunch what it'll be, but you don't know exactly what form it'll take ahead of time. Using this power involves an element of faith that you know who you are in any given moment, or that you have intimate trust in the people around you, or that you've made peace with possibly fucking a whole lot of shit up. Maybe all three.
Like, anger to me post-2016 is different than it was before, so the psionic manifestation of it would also have changed. Or maybe it became easier to tap into hate and fear, while inter-/intrapersonal reservoirs of hope and justice seem fewer and farther between.
The kryptonite for this power would probably be stuff like getting tranked with xanax/lithium/etc, getting emotionally burned out all the time, being easily manipulated because one's emotions are on full display when using one's powers, and a consistent desire to go full troglodyte a la Luke Skywalker at Ahch-to.
If I had powers like this I'd probably try to sink an egregious ton of discipline into mindfulness and meditation. I'd get a therapist and a cat, obviously. I'd make my home into a mental health bomb shelter of sorts. I'd keep my social circle pruned and tended like a fuckin' bonsai tree. I'd smoke a bunch of weed, exercise/get outside a lot. Garden. Live as chill and low-key as possible in-between periods of intense focus and complex interpersonal interactions and harrowing life choices.
...which is pretty much how I already live in a nutshell, lol. Give yourself fantasy superhero levels of self-care whenever possible. :)

No it isn't. Empath can do this and he's nowhere near omega. Also, what is the point of asking what powers someone would want, telling them to be honest but then adding boundaries?
Anyway, I would go with: Teleportation, regeneration, phasing and total obfuscation (think invisibility that also cannot be picked up by electronic devices and also allows you to remain completely silent while in motion). If I could only pick one, then likely regeneration. This would allow me to live, and learn a lot longer than average and also allow me to take way more risks on activities that I would never dare in real life.

Based on my current physical traits I'd be similar to Bakugo from MHA I think - excessive sweating that has some sort of explosive or chemical property I could harness.
That or just something really lame like being able to raise the temperature around me by 4 degrees Fahrenheit or something. Nothing useful, but still enough to have the Sentinels gun me down.

The ability to flatten myself down to nearly impossible to measure and/or percieve sizes.
I wouldn't be very useful in battle but I would be indispensible in recon or stealth.

I'd want to be able to absorb matter through one hand and accelerate it by burning energy from my body, and then expell that matter from my other hand intact. So like, pick up a ball bearing, burn some fat stores, and then fire it like a gauss rifle out the other hand stupid fast.
Same. I don't want the illusory type where you have a true form, I want to be able to permanently change my form at any time.
If that's too powerful, then I'll go with telekinesis and levitation, so I'd never had to come into contact with any surface in a public toilet.
User: LakeEarth
Codename: Macro
Power: Possesses an indestructible, 6 metre long macro-phallus. Can be used as a whip, demoralizing both enemies and allies.
The power to convince anyone of my views would be really handy without generating too much attention.
never took you for someone who would start a cult xD
Seriously tho, having heal powers in the real world would attract every kind of bad attention
All the standard ones have been said like teleportation or power absorption.
So I'll do the one I always thought of as a kid. The ability to pull fictional characters into reality and insert real people into fiction.
Your choice if the fictional characters retain their powers or not.

That's so slow and you'd be limit on how fast you go due to pressure and stray objects
Some people are well beyond saving and even the penance stare will do nothing.
Forge
Hes broken and not even Omega level.
Not really that broken.
He can figure out how things (technology) works or should work.
Its a good power when tied to a genius who likes technology.
But if you are pretty slow, its just going to fuck with you.....youll see the answers in every piece of technology but never be able to actually make anything.
His genius intellect isnt part of his mutation, its the tech intuition thats a mutation.
But indeed in our universe it would be a hell of a power to have.
So when Xavier asked him to upgrade cerebro to back up anybody who died on the X-men. That had nothing to do with his mutation?Some people are well beyond saving and even the penance stare will do nothing.

Nah chill. That shit is broken.

Shape-shifting would allow a total freedom from the constrictive gender norms. There would be no problems with hair loss or weight gain either, or any physical issues one might have. Not to mention, a prolonged life and healing factor. The latter would cure the nerve damage I have, and probably come handy on hangover days. Hell, I wouldn't even have to shave on a regular basis, as I could just transform into a shaved self in the morning. On top of all those, no need to worry what to wear, just go naked and imagine whatever you want on yourself.

I never said that?
Did his Tech Intuition help him figure out how to upgrade Cerebro? Absolutely. Was it the only reason he was able? No.
We know Forge is already smart as fuck tis why power blockers dont affect him nearly as much as they do other members of the Xmen, he would still fuck you up cuz hes just smart..........really the mutation just helps him along. He still isnt at Stark or Reed Richards level even with the mutation.
The power alone isnt broken but giving it to someone who likes technology and is already a genius makes it super powerful.
The power alone when asked to upgrade Cerebro would have done nothing his intuition would have given the person an idea of what it does but he would need to actually already be clever to figure out how it works and how to upgrade it.
Super strong immune system so I never get sick and also a set of clear eyelids that go under my regular eyelids like a cat
