Of all superpowers to have, I’d pick “kill at a thought”. No question.

Oh, come on. General mind control for the win. You could use it to make people kill themselves if you wanted (and replicate your kill at a thought), but it would also have so many less violent but helpful uses as well.

I have always said that if I had superpowers, I would use them neither for good nor evil, but always for chicanery.

Is that anything like “hilariousity”? I can get behind that.

The ability to have all my proposals funded on first submission. Of course that wouldn’t protect me from DM when he starts wondering where all the money went…

The counter, or perhaps the expanded version of the power, would be manipulation of the internal milieu…from the molecular up to the systemic. It’d be like being the ultimate physician.

Kill at a thought would be difficult. You’d have to work very hard to control your thoughts and not give in to annoyance…

Well, as our resident right winger I can see where this idea would make you nervous, N-c.

What a useless superpower. My goal, really, is to go through my life without killing anyone, so the superpower of killing with thought would be at best useless and at worst devastating (to me, since I’d have to hide away to avoid killing anyone). Having a bad day DM?

Needing fake words because you’re too lazy to learn the appropriate real ones is.. Oh who am I kidding. I have no desire to start anything.

Look at all of us squabbling over how best we would control our internal and social environments.
I would choose flight, duh, because ugh I still haven’t figured out how I am getting to this Keystone meeting I am going to. Also the ability to write “Applicant requests no funds to support travel to meetings as applicant is capable of unsupported flight.”
