All choices depend on the degree of the power. How much can you lift with telekinesis and how dexterous is? Is magic cantrips, level 9 spells, or something even more arcane? To what level are the speed and strength "super"? Are you a "Captain America" super human or Superman?
Thankfully, my constant favorites are pretty definite: invulnerability and immortality.
What even is "psychic" and how is meaningfully different from "telekinesis" and "telepathy"? Is it bundling all the other -kineses? Yeah, I'm giving it too much thought but personally I don't like discussions based entirely on everyone not having enough information.
Anyone who is planning shenanigans and doesn't take phasing or teleportation is asking for it. Sooner or later some government entity or another is going to try to put you in some kind of prison and you'd better have an escape card. Especially if you also take immortality. If you're immortal and some asshole Cask of Amontillados you, you're going to be pissed off about it forever.
And is "divine powers" just a free combo deal of magic, invisibility, and immortality?
wtf is this list, these are absolutely not equal powers. Magic alone accounts for 80% of this list. Magic, Divine Power, Attractive Lady is just the meta choice. Who the hell is gonna take something lame like Stamina or Invisibility when you could use magic powers to make yourself invisible and fly.
Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.
Comic adaptation when?
【 That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon 】
Shape shifter makes the attractive male/female redundant.
Intellect will get you gadgets/implants/power suit. After a bit of work which you have infinite time to do.
Insanely rich, Intellect, Invulnerable. You could totally change the world - you would be like Elon Musk with a brain. When the shitty oligarchs throw you out a window, you just bounce.
But, not any major religion. Just start making flowers bloom in the name of some minor goddess that has good rules. Go around healing people and giving out free food.
See what that does to the world when basically every main religion is "wrong"
The Wiccans I know are generally good folk, what chaos when healing crystals actually start working?
Attractive female, insanely rich, and teleport. I'll have a gf, have money to finance my 1000 hobbies and help others, and never have to stand an hour in a crowded bus trying to hold in a fart again.
Psionics (a la Legion/David Haller), Divine Powers (more Legion reality-warping fun), Immorality (until the Heat Death of the Universe). I've got a lot I want to do, starting with planetary reform and cultivation of the species.
If I'm a plural system do we get to pick 3 for each of us? :)
If it's one set for everyone, I'm going with Shapeshifting, Healing, and the third kind of depends on how this stuff works.
Shapeshifting I'd take even if I was only allowed one power. I'd finally have a body that fits. Several of them, in fact. Some might even be human. We could swap between us physically, and turning into stuff for a while just sounds fun.
Healing because if I don't pick it I'm eventually going to regret it. Shapeshifting might already let me fix any damage that isn't incapacitating or instantly lethal, but that only applies to my own body. I'd want to be able to help others, too.
For the third power... Magic could mean a lot of things, including many on this list. Maybe it's a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of deal, which I'd be fine with. A bunch of spells that cover a wide range of situations but aren't as strong as specializing in a single power.
Teleport is really appealing. Lots I can do with it if I can take people or things with me, or set up something long-range that doesn't require line of sight. If it also allows me to create permanent portals then we're really going to have fun.
Or I could take Invulnerability to remove that "incapacitating or instantly lethal" weakness and really lean into being some kind of unstoppable healer. Divine Powers? Depending on what that does, it could replace Healing while also giving a bunch of other benefits. Hell, if it lets me resurrect people too, and I also take Invulnerability, then I'm basically an emergency respawn point for the entire community.
1 insanely rich so i dont have to work.
2 divine powers so i can be impressive and perform impossible fears, thereby recovering the majority of the skills i didnt pick
3 psychic so i can know what others know, uncover secrets, predict behavior, prevent crime, predict weather, and potentially talk to pets
Ignoring the devine powers weather control is ridiculously op. When i was smaller i was thinking of what extremely op devil fruit you could get in ome piece and i picked weather control. You can literally strike anyone with lightning, controll air pressure, create extrelemly strong winds that are localized(air bending), create a firestorm(firebending), rain an shit(waterbending), depending on weather you count disasters as weather(i would normally not count eartquakes but floods are def weather) you can literally turn whole cities, countries to dust. Also potentially you could just spawn certain animals that are commonly found in hurricanes if we count that. Also flight probably because of the wind powers. Your temperature range is basically -100 to 100 which is also op. You could travel with 500km/h because that was the fastest wind ever recorded. You could also rain 1kg pieces of hail on people. So yeah you would be a god basically even without the devine powers. You can add immortality of course and with that you are literally a god at that point. You can add attractive male/female(which i presume means extremely attractive because youre spending a slot on it) or super speed so you can be fast while doing this shit or anything else tbh as youre already a god.
Depending on which deity we're talking, "divine powers" is a no-brainer. Besides that: Immortality, invincibility, siphon powers. Use the time I have (i.e. all of it) to learn unarmed combat and weapon master, and become insanely rich and very intelligent, then invent implants and a powersuit (why would anyone pick those if they're a freebie with immortality), then wait around for others who have picked different powers and siphon off their powers. Since I'm invincible, I can also swallow some plutonium and become radioactive.
So, in conclusion, I would like to be a sci-fi lich.
Pretty much nothing you couldn’t do and get away with it. Go anywhere and nobody could stop you. Healing seems redundant with force field, but I assume you’d have to turn off the force field to do some things which would leave you vulnerable.
Most of the powers are achievable with just intellect and magic.
The third power to choose is immortality because most of the sci fi or magical immortality has a catch.
Vampirism, Divine Powers and Magic. These three pretty much give you every other power on this list. You are essentially God and need only keep the human race alive so you can feed off their blood.
Idk how magic fits in here, since Teleport is typically a part of magic.
I will use it to fix the world buy making a lust for power and greed to the detriment of humanity a death sentence. My super hero name can be Incentive. I will make it my duty to make sure that the ruling class finally has a proper incentive to do what is right. I'll be like if Kira from death note wasn't a moron.
The most op power in my eyes is super speed. You basically get infinite, on demand mass, strength and endurance, and can (assuming you can go really fast) time travel
That being said, the only super power I'd ever want is the ability to create fast-acting hormones of my choosing, with my nails acting as syringes when willed to be able to inject or secrete them
