I'm gonna go with Peter Petrelli's power from Heroes.

The ability to absorb every other power.

Why have 1 power when you can have them all.

I'd like it too... I have been sleeping poorly... And even when I get 7 hours of sleep, looks like I haven't slept at all. I've been working on caffeine too. My stomach is begging me to stop it.

Plus, I'd like the ability of having everything done in a blink of an eye. At least until I have the chance of recharging my internal batteries.

But if I could chose a superhero power, I'd like to be like Superman, although I'm a Spiderman's fan.
I'd be a badass Superman. No way I'd be thinking "ooh... he's a villain, but since I'm stronger than he is, I can't beat the shit out of him. Let me just hurt him a little, send him to jail and wait until he escapes to start all over again."

Bullshit! What's a heat vision for if you can't incinerate a convicted villain? What's all the strength and powers for if you won't use them?

I wouldn't be a bad Superman. Like UNNA's and Dave's (as president) motto: "Tough, but fair."
What if some of bad guys had to die in the process? They're the bad guys for fucks sake! Why keep them alive and at large? Zapt... Bye bye, come next please.
If the guy was just an average villain, not bad to the bones, I'd give him a good beat up and warn him that that would be his last chance of changing. Next time he will be eating grass' roots.

Time Travel (assuming no ill effects or anything like that).

With that, I could pretty much resolve anything that I didn't get right the first time and have an endless way to travel to various places to gather knowledge.

Knowledge is power.

As an example, with the knowledge that I have today, I could travel back in time to my wrestling match with Mr. All-State. Then, being more aware of my surroundings, I would have promptly left the mat following my match, grabbed my video camera and run into the stands to catch some great girl-on-girl action.

Gotta catch life's special moments on film whenever you can.

And you could go some years in the future, bring the best equipment to have this girl-on-girl action in Full HD.

But you had to have the ability of travelling not only in time, but in time-space. It sucks to be limited to appear always in the same place when you can go from dinosaurs era to the time when monkeys will be ruling over the humans. Think about it. If you go way back in the past, you may not have access to transportation.

And I agree with the Peter Petrelli's power. That's good.

Leo - I'm assuming full access to time travel. Backwards, forwards and all around with no ill effects. That includes all time travelling mechanisms and the assumption that all scientific challenges have been resolved.

I'll be too busy gathering knowledge to have to perform any MacGyver or Doc Brown stuff.

I would like the power to take anyones super power from them. I would also include the power to have more power than anyone in anything no matter what, along with the power to stop anyone from having more power than me and if they try to attempt to get more power than me they will automatically loose their power no matter what.
This power will give me all superpowers and the power to take away anyones superpowers whenever I want, and if anyone even thinks of a superpower that I want, I have the power to take it from them and they will automatically be exempt from ever having any super powers.

X Ray Vision, naturally, and the ability to stop time at will, so I can nap whenever the urge takes me.

How greedy, Dave... One day you'll be so full of powers that you'll explode.

Ok Tim, full access, total control. That would be great.
Just think about a 'when' and a 'where', and presto! No flux capacitor, plutonium or aspirin attached to a chewing gum washed in vinegar and baking soda to explode a door. Just think and go.

I think I'll take Tim's Power.

Thank you.

Having lost all my superpowers to Dave and, thusly, being prohibited from ever having any superpowers any longer, and am now back to being a simple monkey that can sit in a ladies lap anytime I want and pleasure myself.

I'm just a monkey.

Yes Tim I think I'll have your Power of procreation while I'm at it.

With my infinite powers I will adapt the power to control a persons free will and desire.

I will give Tim back his procreative powers and give an uncontrollable oral sexual desire towards Fat hairy 50-75 year old men.

To Leo I give a strong unquenchable oral sexual desire towards Male Carnival workers.

In turn I will Give a strong sexual desire to all old fat hairy men to need Tim
also all carnival workers will flock to Leo for satisfaction.

I will adjust Scara's X-ray vision to only work on men and to be permanantly on.

You can take all the powers you want, Dave, but Dr. Zaius and I will eventually have our say over you and your greedy human counterparts.

I wouldn't go on any spacetrips with Charleton Heston if I were you.

Plus, I get to make it with Kim Hunter. I've got my eye on Linda Harrison as well.

Tim, at least he hadn't took our will to kill him and our abilities to use a gun.

With My powers I command Sarky to go to my Poo forum and tell the tale of the last time she pooped her pants.

I believe that the most universal and useful power I could select would be to have all the powers of the original Shogun Warriors, namely:

the ability to fire missles from fingertips
the ability to fire missles from nipples
the ability to fire my fist from the elbow down
the ability to fire my Godzilla fist from the wrist down
the ability to dock an airplane in skull
the ability to hold extra missles on shoulders and legs
the ability to shoot disks from wrist
the ability to throw an axe (already have)

There really is no situation that I've ever been in that wouldn't have been helped in someway by a live missle launch.

Thing about Tim's back in time power is it already has a theme song.

By Cher.

Hardly. I'm a manly man.

The only super power worth having in the real world is mind control. I can do pretty much what I want to, but it's all those OTHER people who are the problem!

This would also make raising children much easier.

Sarcky -

Now that I got you babe, all I really want to do is believe that if I could turn back time, I could be strong enough to, one by one, remove all gypsies, tramps and thieves from my past and become a half-breed, dark lady after all.

Hahaha, great one Tim!

For my super power, I'd like to be able to teleport to anywhere in the world, from anywhere in the world. Think of the money I'd save!
I wanna go hang out with my cousin in Japan for the weekend...woosh, in the blink of an eye I'm in Okinawa eating sushi.
I'm about to get into a car accident.....bam, I'm back home and safe, commenting on YBNBY.
I'm casually watching a guy with a nice butt and he happens to start turning around....wooosh, I'm two streets over eating my super bird sandwich from Denny's asking for more iced tea.

And of course with this power, I'd be immune to anyone with the power to steal other people's super powers =oD

Indeed I do have that power, indeed I do. a la Dolly Parton in "Nine to Five" but my boobs aren't as big ;oP

And I'm thinking that along with being able to teleport myself, it will apply to anything I'm holding. So the luggage problem is solved. But you're absolutely right, I could just as easily 'port back home and grab it. Or not pack at all, just pop back to get what I need from home whenever I need to.
And I 'port myself into any party, social event, library, book store, movie, or any room I'd like be a fly on the wall, and pop out so fast, everyone might think they imagined me. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The combination of teleporting, time travelling and mind bending would be just fine.

Not that I want a bunch of people who can be pushed anywhere you want, but sometimes you need 'em to dance your dance.

And the first mind to bend would be Dave's, in order to stop his Sylar's style power stealing.

Sadly, I've had these conversations with my friends numerous times. I'm a geek, I can't help it.

I would want complete and total invulnerability. What good are most of these other powers if you are still completely vulnerable to things like weapons, rocks, even a sharp stick? I'd hate to go back in time to go see some dinosaurs only to become a light snack for one.

Although, the mind control thing would be pretty cool.

Meh, time travel, teleporting ... all the same thing, just a matter of whether you're moving forwards, backwards or sideways on the time/space continuum. Dave owns it all now anyway.

The real question is: How is Dave enjoying his newfound power to fully embrace and enjoy the wonderment of the global sensation known as Cher?

... and how many hits are contained in my message to the Cherman of the Bored?

P.S. I can't stand Cher. But now she's in my head like a migraine that won't go away. I'm seizing and twitching over here ...

I just have one thing to tell you, Tim...

You say you can't forget now I don't know
I just can think your migraine will grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got her, and baby she got you

Babe... Cher got you babe... Cher got you babe

You don't need to thank me. I've altered the lyrics to fit you just because we're friends. **wink**wink**

Leo - International Law prohibits winking across established borders.

Just an FYI.

Thanks for your advice, Tim.

I was just trying to be friendly, but I didn't know it could start a war. It's always good to have friends tipping us.

Also, I'm pretty sure that an online, same-sex wink is akin to a real-world, bathroom stall shoe tussle.

But we'll have to consult Dave on that. I really don't know ...

Uh-oh... It was just a way to show you I was mocking you... I never wanted to make you tremble on your manly-man convictions.

I forgot about all the trauma your auntcle has caused on your life, Tim. I'm sorry.

Um, besides flying? I would want to be Carbo-girl - and have a diet strictly consisting of carbohydrates - pasta, bagels, cupcakes etc...My super powers would burn those carbo-calories before they even hit my tongue. Yeah!

That's it SO... thanks!

Although a chimp wearing Cher's dress is not a nice picture to have in mind. And now I can't help myself imagining a chimp in dress singing "I got you babe"

Great one Leo! I'm enjoying that visual now!

*wink wink* at Tim

so what does that cross country opposite sex wonder woman to monkey wink equal in real life?

Tim, I think you're gonna be winked all over...

As the Authority of *wink winking*. Wink winking is not acceptable from one man to another unless that man is looking to toss his salad.
Where I come from if another man *Wink Winks* at you he automatically gets a boot in his ass.
Now if Leo is looking for manly love from Tim the wink wink is perfectly acceptable.
Tim also has the right to accept or reject the wink however he wants, which may include a kick in the ass.
Internationally one misunderstood Wink wink is acceptable.
Especially in Leo's case, who happens to be the epitome of heterosexuality.
One mistake is all he gets though..

Thanks for the advice and for giving me this one and only free of charges wink-wink.

In my defence, here in Brazil we use to wink at someone when we play a joke on them, to state that we meant no harm. That's what I was trying to do, but I didn't know the International Wink-winking Laws. Thanks Tim and Dave for making things clear for me.
and for God's sake, I'm not looking for gay sex with Tim. Also it would be something beyond gay sex, it would be zoo-pederasty. It's too much for any one to bear. My God...

It would take too much therapy to help my wife and daughter to get through this...

Leo, hey who are we to judge. If you want to spank the Tim monkey that's between you and the monkey.

Hahahahahah... I'm not on that... come on... hahahahah

But he might be careful when he is mimicking Cher... Thomas has been around, and we never know what he might want to do.

Leo,

It is clear from your fancy human retort and aloof foreign manner that you feel you are too good for me.

While I am not a homosexual and, therefore, could not enthusiastically respond to your come-hither, winky wink expressions, I do feel somewhat offended in being so summarily dismissed once your advances were rebuffed.

I ask that you reconsider the advantages this man-beast opportunity affords you, and resubmit your interest so that I may respond with a more appropriate smackdown and restore my dignity.

Your ape-like friend,

Tim

Vicky - A wink means you get to share my banana next time you visit my cage. You bring the WW costume and the wristbands, I'll fire the bullets.

Then my wife will take me to monkey court and take my coconuts away.

Oh Tim, I wouldn't want to be the cause of you losing your coconuts, so I'll keep the banana nibbling and wonder woman costume to myself.
But you're still my favorite monkey!

Due to current economic woes, my coconuts are only worth half as much as they were this time last year, which is why I was looking to plant them in a safe place.

Since I have too much banana here for one monkey to handle, I think I'll head up to the treehouse to see if the gatekeeper wants to share this with me. I'll see if I can get a good deal for my coconuts as well.

The gatekeeper had the treehouse on lockdown and asked me to hold the banana until tomorrow night. I had to leave the coconuts behind.

too much banana for one monkey to handle?!?!? sounds like a call for help! DUN DUN DUN here comes Wonder Woman, to the rescue!

Tim, not that I'm wanting to leave you in the vacuum, but I won't wink-wink you again and get me a black eye.

Let's call it a tie, we both go outta that with our manlinesses untouched and all the L77ers will understand my mistake and no one will pick on you.

What do you think?

Leo,

Despite all my rage, I am still just an ape in a cage. When confused, I can only respond in my primitive, emotional manner. Confronted with a test of my manlihood, I take a deep breath and prepare for a fight.

I will accept your offer of a truce with this caveat; if you test my manlihood again, I shall respond in the only manner I know ... I shall scoop up a handful of my most recent production and fling it in your general direction.

Primitive props to you,

Your favorite monkey

Leo,

Hey buddy, I owe you a big apology. It appears that while I was away, my monkey got ahold of my laptop, took it into his cage and started posting under my YBNBY user account. He made some criticisms and comments about you that I thought were unfair. I think he even posted some comments about me eating some used cucumbers or something. When I scolded him, he threw a bunch of ladies panties at me and hid. Looks like I'll have to call Dr. Gilligan again.

I want you to know that I have the utmost respect for you. Anyone that can stand toe-to-toe with me and take all my smart-alec shit is righteous in my book. The fact that you do it with a (albeit small now) language barrier is all the more impressive.

Hope you accept my apologies.

Tim

Don't worry Tim, no offenses taken. And thanks for having me in high consideration!

You know, although we 77ers can have our arguments, in the end of the day we sit together to have a beer (at least in our intention due to the distance). And that attack from your monkey didn't cause any harm to our friendship. You can still count on me if you need my services.

Uh, and I hope Dr Gilligan can help you, though I think your monkey will try something else with her beyond the medical help. If anything goes wrong, give me a call and I'll send you a girlfriend for your monkey, so he can stop troubling you for a while.

And sorry it took me a little long to answer, but my company's firewall doesn't allow me to login on the forum.

The power to bequeath and renege super-powers.
Now that would be sweet.

I would like the power to be able to change peoples minds. Not just ultra persuasion, but really change their mind, like jedi mind tricks that last forever.

Yes this isn't as cool as teleportation, telekinesis, laser beams, or the others, but with my powers I would never need to destroy shit, just wave my hand and *poof* threesome with my wife and Fran Drescher. Now that's money.
