10 Super Powers we'd Totally Abuse Elite Facts Presents
10.
Mind reading - Now, we’re not talking full blown telepathy here, you don’t have the
ability to control people, all you can do is listen in on what they’re thinking.
While this might seem novel at first, learning more about a person then they’d ever care
to tell, but it would also come at a cost at finding out just what other people think
of you.
You can pretend that you don’t care, but much like with Precognition, simply knowing
will just eat away at your sole from the inside.
That knowing that no one really likes you.
That you’re all alone…

Precognition - Being able to see into the future seems like a cool thing.
You’ll be prepared for literally any situation, by avoiding it like the plague.
However, having this insight into the events to come would cause you to become incredibly
paranoid.
The extent of your foresight could allow you to see the deaths of your friends and family,
be that by sheer chance or natural causes.
Either way, if you try to help your friends, or not act at all, knowing something like
that will have a lasting effect on you as a person.
Can you live knowing?
8.
X-ray Vision - Alright, we all know where this is going, so let's get this out of the
way: Teenage boys are gonna spy on the girl’s changing room and the girls are gonna get
the blame for getting dressed.
The ability to see through solid objects is a classic super power from the old more innocent
days of comics.
Nowadays, our youth are becoming more and more perverse and the likelihood that they’d
use their new found ability to simply spy on the neighbour naughty antics.
Makes the whole thing even worse when the grown ups do it too… and we’re going to
leave that there.
7.
Duplication - You’d think having multiple versions of yourself going about the place
would prove useful.
You can never be ganged up on.
You can do a numerous amount of things at once.
But most importantly, you’ll never be alone.
You can expect a lot of in-fighting though.
Who’s gonna do what what chore that day?
Who’s gonna be the designated driver?
What film are you gonna watch?
Eventually, amongst all the confusing of what’s happening and who’s doing what, you may
even forget which double is the real one...
6.
Hard-light constructs - Think like Green Lantern and create a physical object made out of solidified
light.
Sounds crazy, but imagine conjuring up a jet-plane out of nothing, or creating a protective bubble
to surround yourself in, the possibilities are quite literally endless.
But at the end of a long hard day, you just want to sit down and watch telly and maybe
have a cup of tea.
But oh no, all your cups are in the washing machine.
Nevermind, I’ll create a psionic cup and put my tea in that.
Maybe make a pair of scissors and cut your nose hairs.
Use that power to fullest, as you sleep in your strange light construct of a bed.
Great use of your imagine there my friend.
5.
Pyromancy - Creating and controlling fire.
It was mankind’s first achievement and is attributed to your survival as a species.
There is almost a primal urge and fascination about flames that draws us in.
And you know that there will be someone out there who is so enthralled with flames that
they’ll just burn their house down, set their neighbours ablaze, finally get payback
from their first boss for firing them… by firing him, ETC.
And when that happens, everyone else who can control fire will be looked down upon for
no other reason than being able to control fire.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
4.
Telekinesis - Don’t go confusing this was telepathy, that happens all too often.
Telekinesis is being able to levitate things with your mind, which would be pretty handy.
If you find something obstructing your path, simply levitate it out the way and continue
on your merry way.
Although, as with most things, you power will eventually find itself being used for more
mundane things.
“Oh, I left my phone in the other room, I’ll just sit here and levitate it towards
me”.
“Man, I could really use a drink, let's just have one prepare itself in the kitchen
and come to me, while I just sit here watching TV”.
You’d effectively become the laziest person on the planet and as much as we all like to
lol about from time to time, it’d get pretty boring pretty quick.
3.
Size manipulation - Being able to grow and shrink seems like a great idea!
Short people can finally tower over the tall jackasses who dared to pick on them for their
height!
You can finally stand out in a crowd, towering over everyone else.
And hey, if you get really annoyed one day and want to prove a point, just grow Godzilla
sized and destroy the place.
But let's get real for a second, all this growing and shrinking is going to ruin your
wardrobe.
Shrinking not so much, but growing is going to rip your clothes to shreds and in either
place, you’re going to end up naked.
And I don’t think anyone wants that… unless you’re into that stuff, in which case…
each you there own.
2.
Superspeed - The next best thing to flying is getting there quicker.
After “X-men: Days of Futures Past” amazing Quicksilver scene and subsequent scene in
“X-men: Apocalypse”, more and more people are warming up to the idea of getting to any
location within a matter of seconds, preferably listening to some classic popular song.
Again, you could quite easily travel from one country to another, since you’d be able
to run on water.
However, when you can complete a task within a couple of seconds, you’d eventually find
yourself with an ungodly amount of free time, things would become pretty boring pretty quickly.
Lets not forget all the food you’d have to eat in-order to help keep your energy levels
up.
Frankly, all that effort just to run a little bit longer…
it’s kind of tiring.
1.
Flight - Being able to fly would be awesome.
Rather than having to get the bus to school or Carpool to work, just imagine being able
to soar above the clouds, away from everything and just be at peace with the world, before
literally coming back to earth to continue the day.
I would a blissful way to travel anywhere.
Want a quick holiday?
Just fly to France for the weekend.
Got an important package you want to send?
Why not just fly it to it’s recipient.
But, let's be honest, it would get to the point where we’d stop walking altogether
and just float about a couple of inches off the ground.
And even then, you’d likely need to get a flying licence just to be allowed to float
above crowds.
And ladies, skirts might not be an option.
