You failed something once? You can rise up again and try again - and again - and again. even without omniscience and omnipotence. This will likely be a very subjective answer, but I would opt for " immortality" in the truest sense of the word - you will neither age and die of old age nor can you be killed by any means.īasically, this gives you many advantages, the biggest of all: time is not an issue! You have all the time in the world to hone and practice specific talents or skills, research and acquire specific knowledge etc. You put Wolverine in a situation he can't punch his way out of, Deadpool in a place where killing everyone isn't actually a valid solution. ![]() If you want to create an interesting story then you have to put your characters with superpowers in situations where those powers don't directly apply. There is only the best superpower in the situation you have created, given the constraints you're under. In summary, excluding omnipotence as you have, there is no "best" superpower. Usable offensively and defensively, however it's still a modern age power, put him in a plastic box, or a stone age society, and there's not a lot he can do. This is a good one, there's always metal lying around in a modern technological society. In practice it's only a particularly powerful ability if surrounded by others with power he can use by proxy. The weakness of his power is that he can be blocked technologically, by a proverbial tinfoil hat. Strength lies in the ability to find, communicate with, and control others. You'll find that the most powerful is a combination of two powers together, though having three would likely be too much for any attempt at balance. Then you run up a case study for each superpower in isolation. offensive, defensive, creative, destructive. You have to class all the powers on your list, e.g. TL DR version: What's the best superpower, and why would be considered THE greatest/most useful/most helpful superpower?Įvery power is situational, every power has a counter. What is the determining factor that would go into deciding what the "Best Superpower" would be? The one ability that would almost completely invalidate all other superpowers if not completely unstoppable, then at the very least not easily overcome or very difficult to counter against without careful planning. What about the amount of change created in proximity to the amount of effort output (like waving your hand to cause a house to explode or reducing someone to ashes just by touching them extremely minimal effort into big change)?.Maybe it's the versatility of how the power can be applied (like telekinesis you could grab things just out of your reach, manipulate multiple objects at a time, perform surgery, and even flip cars with enough practice)?.How well it can be used in a fight (like pyrokinesis)? How well it can be used OUT of any confrontation (like super speed), or even how well you can avoid any type of conflict period (like invisibility)?.The learning curve needed to fully utilize and master it (I'd think superhuman strength would be a lot easier to just pick up and learn as opposed to gaining the power to rewrite all of reality down to a subatomic level)?. ![]() ![]() Is it about the capability it has to destroy? To create? To repair?.The amount of influence your power has/is capable of changing (like, teleporting from your house to the other side of the planet in the blink of an eye)?.Is it by the scale your power can reach (affecting everyone in a large city to encompassing entire planets, and even further than that)?.Here's the groundwork: How would you decide what the best possible superpower is? ![]()
