I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and I want your opinion.
If you had one superpower, what would it be, and why? What would you do with your power? Would you use it for good or evil?

Honestly, I would want to fly, and be obnoxious with it. Go flying past people and make the sound, "FLAVUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR SHRRAM!!" What about you?

Heh nice, don't forget about the cars. razz I would probably want the power to turn invisible. You could get paid pretty good to be a spy, you could hear what people say about you behind your back, and you could scare the crap out of people for shits and giggles.

That'll be awesome. ~Two guys walk into an elevator~ "Hey Jim how's it goin?" "Ah nothing much Bob, just preparing for this big meeting today." "Yeah tell me about it, like the other day- *FART SOUND* "Jim did you just fart?" "No Bob I didn't, stop trying to blame me for what you did." "Jim why would I blame you? Besides you know what my farts smell like." "Oh yeah, like rotten cottage cheese ha ha." "So it was you then who farted" "No it wasn't I swear!" Orion- "Teehee"

But Khleo! What's the point of being a super human without the ability to wield spandex?

The ability to not wear spandex, still have the use of my gonads, and look like a total badass because I'm not trying to look bright and flashy.
It would really help with stealth. You know. I'm sure we've already discussed ninjas... And the effectiveness of bright orange jumpsuits.

I'd probably go in for your general Supes kinda package. But maybe not the WHOLE package. Like the Superman Red/Superman Blue deal. Screw flying. If you've got enough speed, your legs will be powerful enough to propel you in mighty leaps. I'll take the invulnerability. Super hearing is a must. You gotta know when you're about to get a tire iron to the back of the head. And some of the strength. Maybe not enough to squeeze a lump of coal and come out with a diamond, but enough to at least move large vehicles without TOO much strain. Also one other ability as a kind of signature thing. Perhaps the ability to make lightning or super smarts so I can make nifty gadgets like Forge, or even better! A totally useless ability! Think of Dazzler. Yeah, the ability to use sound waves and produce light waves that vary based on the sound used...that's SOOOOO useful as a superhero rolleyes
I'm sorry, I'm going to rant a little here. You know you're scarping the bottom of the creative barrel when you make a character with your basic Valley Girl personality who's just scrappy enough not to poop in her disco pants when getting mugged outside a club (which ALWAYS seems to happen to her). And to top it off, you make her a mutant with the super power to replicate sound waves and transform the replica wave into a light wave...THEN you make her a pop singer. So she's a mutant with a retarded power (Marrow is cooler than Dazzler...'nuff said), make her a pop star, and make her dress like the disco-clad reject from Barbie and the Rockers...and all for what? To make her thrifty by not having to pay for lighting design at her shows? Please...gimme a break. And THEN giving her credibility as a solid character by giving her her own mini-series, making her a member of the X-Men Gold team, and ALSO giving her her own "What If?" special where she becomes Herald of Galactus so she can use the power cosmic to roller skate her way around planetary rings? Nuh-uh. No friggin way! Not on MY planet! If Dazzler makes a freaking a return during my life-time, I want a do-over. Let me put it this way. I don't usually HATE comic book characters. Parallax, I can deal with. Chip was funny. Jimmy Olsen, I can ignore him. Mac Gargan as Venom...I pretend never happened. Longshot, he and his mullet are gone for now, and that's cool, but at least he had a nifty costume. Mojo...well...he had that Borg thing going on, and I'm a big Trekkie, so that's cool. Aquaman..hmmm...well...he..uh....he had that beard thing for a while and cut off his own hand, so he's not TOTALLY lame (you don't often see a hero with a power-beard). But Dazzler....there is NOTHING good about her. She uses a recycled Captain Marvel (from the 70s, the black chick who just kinda disappeared) costume with glitter and some idiotic Nega-Band rip-offs, and the personality of Katie Holmes at a kegger from when she was still doing the Dawson show. She needs to be retconned out of existence and then forgotten.

I wonder if there's a super hero who only has the ability to fly, and can't fight,
"HEY!!! HEEEYY!! POLICE!! DOWN THERE!! ON THE CORNER OF JEFFERSON AND 1ST STREET!...Ah, you're breaking up! I got horrible signal up here! Uah He's getting into a car now, Oh my Lord he just pushed that old lady down! Okay now he's driving down Jefferson, hello? Hello? Uh damn Verizon"

His name eludes me at the moment.

No I wasn't saying there is one, its just every super hero that flies just happens to have strength and other powers, but wouldn't it be funny if a super hero JUST had the ability to fly?

@Orion: You can look her up if you want to. She's not special. She was kinda replaced by Boom-Boom (makes small energy time-bombs...and then fell in love with Sabretooth during his rehabilitation post-Onslaught part I). I think Boom-Boom is dead now. In any case, Dazzler sucks.

Quicksilver (he fought, but didn't have any special strength).
lol, Speedball was kinda cool back during the FIRST Thunderbolts run (before they were outcasts, when they were just basically Teen Titans). Speedball, Nova, and a few other B-List superheros got together for the first TBolts run way back when. It didn't sell because it was when MC2 first started and several other books...there was just WAY too much to choose from. Marvel shut down almost half their line that summer. Then the TBolts got rebooted thanks to Ricochet and Baron Zemo and a few others. That run failed, and TBolts came back 3 years later with Atlas and Hawkeye and they were outlaws...and then there's that who Civil War mess and now the TBolts are all super villains...*sigh*
