Ok, I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but not recently and not with my input, so here goes.

If I could have any superpower...

I'd be able to summon Dee Snyder in full Twisted Sister regalia out of thin air for the express purpose of rocking people's faces off! Uptight middle-aged people, look out! You're in for the face-rocking-off of your life!

Complete control of time and space. With that, you could essentially do anything you want.

I'd love to be able to know what people are thinking, and see into their minds.

Not all the time, obviously, as that would drive one mad, but at will be able to dip into their minds and find out what they are thinking, what they think of such and such, etc.

I'd take the ability to time travel and conjure up big wads of cash at whim.

I would like complete control over matter. The ability to convert it into energy, to convert one element to another in order to construct something from my new materials, and of course the necessary knowledge to accompany it.

You'd end up flying into billboards.

I would like the ability to read minds or "see thoughts" at my leisure.

Man, I have the most realistic dreams like that sometimes, like when I realize that i'm dreaming, and I can control my world, I always end up flying like on DragonBall Z or something, lmao.

My second choice would probably be the fighting skills, general badassitude and unlimited ammo of Dante from Devil May Cry (providing I don't have to dress like him).

That would be badass. The clothing would be hilarious though.

You just can't walk down the street dressed like that. I'm sorry. The costume was cool for the games, but it's not practical. Not that this thread is about being practical, though.

Wrong. I'd have picked Ash from the Evil Dead series before a video game character. :)

Fair 'nuff.

However, Ash lacks any innate super-powers as such (unless we're counting Bruce's peerless style and unrivaled chin). The chainsaw-arm is simply a practical solution to the problem of being handless in a battle with the forces of darkness.

No, I'm sticking with Dante.

Style is a superpower all its own imo.

This is the obvious answer. Even controlling time (if only one were available) would make you the most powerful being in the universe and there would be no contest.

I would make it so I can walk with slightly less gravity than everyone else.

Wait, that's not very good.

I meant, I would make it so I can hear things a little louder than others.

Not as good either.

I mean, I would be able to walk.

Damnit!

Nevermind....

Maybe it's just me, but I think omnipotence would get boring pretty quickly. It's our limitations that frame our perceptions.

Limited omniscience here. Not being all-aware all the time, but just being able to know answers to things I want to know.

I can see your points. Almost all motivation, for me, comes from seeking the unknown. If I knew everything, I think I would be really unmotivated to do anything.

Omnipotence and time control are not necessarily the same thing. Also, if it helps, the way I've always thought of this power is that you could control the speed of time from 0 to 1 and no reverse or increases in speed. Furthermore, it doesn't make you invincible so you could still die if you were dumb and careless. If you wanted to add time-speeding to the possible control then you'd have to worry a lot more about dying.

P.S. Don't stick around for a supernova.

Ultimately, I still return to the Dee Snyder summoning as #1. I just want to use it to provide cardiac episodes to middle-aged dickweeds. That would rock.

Dee Snyder is old and fragile though. He would easily die in the crossfire.

Who's shooting? I'm just summoning him to scare the shit out of asshole customers. Then to rock their faces off. I don't often find myself in gunfights during my daily life. I'm looking for a superpower that I could use in a practical, everyday situation, yet something that is still flashy and insane.
