For the DU HEROES
The next season of Heroes is months away, of course, but I want to hear some ideas for new powers. If you were going to be on the show, what powers would you want?

My power would be the ability to post anything without being deleted by Mods (although I love 'em!) and the ability to thwart anyone's attempt at putting me on ignore.

What's your power?

1. Mine - The power of insight
With one glance I could see the details hidden in threads that relate to animosities between members.

AND

Copycat threads are immediately identified.

:hi:

2. The power to make others really think
I swear that would be the greatest power in the world.

3. Sadly, I suspect the result of this power would be...

Especially for those of the freeper variety.

4. The power to make somebody answer completely truthfully
No silence, no misleading, no deception, no distraction. Then I would eagerly anticipate any Republican testimony before congress and any speeches by Bush or Cheney. :evilgrin:

12. No no no, I don't look that good in spandex
Believe me, neither of us wants me in spandex! :-)

And I have to get too close to use a lasso. Secret Service would haul me away pretty quick.

Some sort of key-fob sized device would be just fine as a symbolic, physical focus of my magical power. Look at a person or their live image and press a button. :-)

5. The power to give people diarrhea ...
now think about it, you're driving along, being a good driver, when all of a sudden some jerk cuts you off, giving you the finger.

Sure, you could use your laser vision to melt their tires or mind control to make them drive off the road, but just snap your fingers or whatever body action you choose and WHAMMO! they're crapping in their pants.

Harmless and yet, so effective.

9. I would like the power to create living beings out of linoleum.
They would be indestructible, and easy to clean.

11. I can see a similarity...
Cool movie.

God's given me a gift. I shovel well. I shovel very well.
