Which powers would you choose?

[FenrisWolf44]

If YOU could wake up tomorrow morning with one primary power set and one secondary power set (equivalent to level 50) which ones would you choose? (or would you not want them?)

 

Give the name of the primary power set and secondary power set and which AT they come from (you would be).  Why would you pick those powers? What would you do with them in our world? You are the only one on the planet with powers.

 

Also which travel power would you choose?

[aethereal]

If we imagine that powers are somewhat loosely interpreted, for one power probably Willpower: extreme healing seems like it would be useful for things like illness, and having a strong mind feels useful for a variety of stuff.  And a rez!  If we're taking the power effects more literally, such that all that the strong mindedness of willpower is actually good for is psi defense and the are no psi attacks, maybe invulnerability instead.

 

Probably kinetics for the other power set, that's got a heal, some buffs that seem like they'd be useful in non-combat situations, and people would love getting the superjump power.

 

Teleportation is probably the best choice for travel powers but maybe you need to take flight instead just for the coolness.  Is Mystic Flight an option?

Just make sure you pick the healing factor before you pick the claws:

 

[Saikochoro]

Shield Defense (Tanker primary) & Empathy (cor, cont, MM). It’s not like I’m going to be attacking anyone in real life. So I want the best set and forget defense as well as being able to heal myself and my family. Shield also grants cover so that’s a plus. 
 

I would want the shield to be able to be an emblem though (maybe like a watch with a shield face or something like that).  If I had to actually carry around a shield though, then switch that to SR.

For me?  I like the above post about healing and rez lol.  And we pick archetype i suppose.  Cars hurt.  and i love the Tick!  Since Super Strength is F-ed in game (who wants to be weak every two minutes?) I would go Willpower/Energy Melee Tank.  With Fly.  (I always take fly....)

[Agorazium]

Mind control. I want a $10/hour raise.

[Bill Z Bubba]

Claws/SR, of course.

 

I'm not allowed to post what I'd do with it.

 

Fly cuz I'm jealous of birds.

[Zhym]

That probably depends—do we get to slot our powers with IO sets, or are we talking SOs…or even unenhanced?

 

Some of the sets are a lot less useful without a real-world version of the auction house to draw on.

 

(Then there’s me, driving around town looking for the exploration badges that will get me the 5 reward merits to use to buy enhancement…converters…that don’t exist in real life either.  Damn.  I’m overthinking this again, aren’t I?)

You are seriously the good guy if you're only asking $10/hr with that ability.

[battlewraith]

Emp defender. Probably psi secondary. Super speed. Go to children's hospitals/cancer wards/emergency rooms/etc.

My thought process was more that $10 and a nonsense promotion would fly under the radar. I can't have too many people getting suspicious!

Yes 😋 But equivalent of level 50 SO's only if that helps.

It is. Fly, Super Jump, Teleport, Super Speed or Mystic Flight.

[Seed22]

Fire Blast/Temporal Manipulation, and probably flight.

 

While Fly is over-played, it's only because it's THAT useful. Sure in the hell beats waiting in traffic.

 

Fire for well...fire. Its' offensive capabilities are needed for self-defense or maybe a little strong-arming, and temporal to heal my wounds/rewind myself when needed, or kinda mess with time for a bit whenever it suits me to do so.

 

As far as what I'd do? Subtly use them for my own personal gain. The hell do I look like? Mother Teresa? 😛

[zenijos10]

Pain/ water defender and if pool powers allowed invisibility, invis others, teleport, teleport other team teleport, If epic powers then dark for the self rez.

 

I could do a lot of good to help the sick with pain dom and teleport and use water to help with agriculture.  Invisibility will make building up funds for a nonprofit organization easy.  Self rez let’s me do very dangerous things as needed.

definitely will/energy tanker then.  invul is better with a big i/o build

[MrAxe]

Can I cheat and have Gravity Control and Willpower? If not I'd be a Willpower/Psionic Melee Tank. I desparatly need more get-up-and-go and I could grab drinks with my TK. An odd mix of motivation and laziness.

Not exactly a typist.

[kelika2]

claw/regen/concealment

and rogue alignment

[DoctorDitko]

I would find it hard to pass up a Dark/* Defender.

 

Why? Howling Twilight.

Rez and heal a roomful of buddies and leave everyone else dazed and unsure of what happened?

 

Yes, please!

I would have to go with a gravity/nature controller, with mystic flight.  If we had finer control over our powers, besides the explicit individual powers from the game, I could do anything from construction, to rescue, to cleaning up the environment...

I'm not that choosey. 

Give me whatever powers, and I'll make do.

It would depend upon the power sets and AT that I was gifted with.

 

But I wouldn't be using my powers to rob banks or wantonly to cause carnage.

Once again, I would enjoy having any of them, but, I must say, that flight often seems to be the best pick for several reasons.

I personally really like super leap, but that's practically flying these days when used for actual travel purposes.

Well... something that lets me live forever and stay healthy... willpower or regen.  And something that I can use to get my boys to clean the basement.  I find sonic powers work well for this but I'm open to suggestions.  I'm also thinking of a cold epic powerset so I can keep my sodas cold and hibernate at will.

Storm Summoning primary and Invulnerability secondary... as a sentinel.  Yes, I know storm summoning isn't a blast set.  I'll get by with changing the weather and blasting people with wind and calling down the lightning storm if I need it.  I'd probably use my powers to go where I want and do what I want and ruin picnics, weddings, and various people I don't like.  On a positive note, I could break up the summer heatwaves with overcast skies and dropping a snowstorm if it's really, really hot.

 

For travel power, I'd choose teleportation.  Flight sounds nice, but I really don't want to have to deal with air traffic... or being mistaken for a bird or a plane by people with low perceptive skills on the ground.

Warshade! Triform of course.

 

What would I do with it all? IDK, I'll find a purpose. somewhere 😉
