What practical superpower do you wish you had?

[Succubiome]

Omnipotence. Sure, it's not the most interesting power, but if you ever get bored of it, you could always downgrade yourself to any other powerset.

 

[Rhaps]

Since I recently avoided being Isekai, I already got plot armor.

So for a practical one, the power to get anything for free without consequences. Basically robbery with extra steps.

 

[Prince_Azmiran_Myrian]

Because that would require me to think it up. Then I could be tricked into thinking up a power that kills me instantly.
But if it's a power someone else has, I can wait and see if it works. Decide if I want it, then take it. Let someone else beta test.

But you'd also be immune to death because of your superpower. So there's no need to worry.

 

[ShipTeaser]

Ability to speak, read and understand every language. Subtle, profitable and also good for hobbies

 

[Deleted member 76176]

Wish granting (have to sacrifice something equal for more complex and difficult ones).


I like fairies, so...

 

[Deleted member 113259]

Lasers.

 

[Cipiteca396]

Shapeshifting. True shifting means reverting aging, undoing wounds, perfect disguises, and any other superpower you can think of.

But for practicality's sake, it means removing every scrap of dirt from the floor (or anything else) without having to get on your hands and knees with a sponge.

 

[ThomasBricks]

I'd suppose extreme good luck would count as a practical super power.

In need of some change at a stand? Suddenly there are coins in your eyesight on the ground.

Need to know what time it is?
A big billboard truck with a clock on it drives by.

You want to help an old lady cross the road? You helping her gave her something good.

Your uncle needs some investments for his company to let it grow and gather money for his marriage, thus making you and your family more happy.

 

[BlurryMoon]

offline farming:
I can become “offline” and my body does the last thing I did on its on till I come online again. And then I get all the gains

 

[GlassRose]

Being able to visualize anything in my head and suddenly have the know-how, technique, dexterity, etc. to make it. Whether it be drawing, wood working, metal working, etc.

*Visualizes the corpse of your enemy*
Some definite applications for this... Could probably use it to fly an airplane too, among other things. Of course, you could just choose something like 'Universal God-like Skill', make it a lot more stream-lined.

True immortality, as in actual immortality that makes it unnecessary to eat, possibly sleep, and unable to die in general. Not like vampires (sorry, needed to insert that one) or classical immortals that just don't die of age or wounds. I personally distinguish the two as otherworldly immortals and humane immortals.

And add to that something that would actualy be practical in day-to-day situations and make life actually easier, such as ability to shapeshift (which could actually be the cause of immortality) or superior mental and physical capabilities.

...Actually wait, does that count as a superpower? It should. I think.

True immortality would be hell though, eventually. Like the heatdeath of the universe. Your immortality should always come with an off switch.

Just need to science the heck out of it and stop the heatdeath of the universe. No big deal.

 

[Seaspecter]

Being indestructible would be nice.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I'd go with healing.

 

[Le_ther]

Portals, with the ability to control them, and I just need to be able to see the place or have been there

Last time someone had the power of portals, he became a black and white dalmatian guy.

Make sure to wish something that may or may not alter your appearance too

 

[NotaNuffian]

The ability to earn passive income without any effort or failure.

To hell, I can take the rate as 1 USD per hour and it will still be fine.

 

[Sola-sama]

Inventory like the ones in games. It doesn't have to be infinite space, and it doesn't even have to stop time. As long as I can save some objects, it is enough.

In fact, it is better if the storage space doesn't stop time. Imagine the practical application of planting some vegetation or making fermented food in an accelerated time environment.

 

[Echimera]

Unlimited bioplasticity, to give freeform shapeshifting a fancy name.

Ideally with an element of absorbing and incorporating new genetic material, so I can not only imitate a ton of other superpowers but grab the real deal.
I'd start with that, but then I'd have to find a shapeshifter before I get to the good part of shedding the weak and boring human form, which I'd ultimately value over having potential access to every power in the long run.

 

[Octopal]

Find an old man trapped inside a ring every time I fall off a cliff

Ding! You get an old author trapped inside a ring. You can't fall to cliff again thanks to the ring.

 

[georgelee5786]

Intelligence

 

[Rezcore]

Last time someone had the power of portals, he became a black and white dalmatian guy.

Fair, but I'd probably only use it for grocery shopping and getting to work
