Some times I am, other times I am not; this is the one thing that I hate about text, in the way that emotions and body language are not present at all.

The weakness? The more massive the object I want to move is, the more mental effort it takes. I can lift a credenza, but it isn't going to be a cakewalk, I want to lift a white dwarf- only in my dreams. Also, the faster I move the object, it also takes more effort. Fusing and reacting atoms will also take a hell of an effort. If I want to probe someone's mind, they can keep me out, depending on how smart they are. Plus, even that would take effort, depending on how much information I'd like to play around with. Sooner or later, I have to rest, and if I stress my head too much, I also run the risk of a cerebral aneurysm.Then again, I'd also like just better mem

One other power that I'd like would be the ability to phase through walls. Actually, scratch that. I want to be able to pass through solid matter.Pros: Barriers mean nothing to mean. That includes that wall behind you as you step into the shower /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />Cons: I have no clue what's beyond that wall, or what's inside of it. Moreover, I probably wouldn't be able to breath while phasing, so if the wall is too thick, I wouldn't be able to make it thro

So what happens if you suddenly "un-phase" while you're still in the wall? One other cool ability I think it'd be awesome to have is the ability to break yourself up into a sentient mass of different compounds in vapor form; basically, to be able to turn yourself into mist. You could to float around, be more or less invisible, and reach places you wouldn't be able to reach normally. And it would look cool. A pretty blatant downside is that if one area of your mist-blob gets closed off then you might shrink or lose a leg when you re-material

Blank, mist+any type of fan or rotary=POOF also water+vapor/mist=mixed up, also people breathing+you=insideOn topic of this genre of power, I will take dimensional hopping. I can basically go from one place, to another by going through a worm hole like portal which keeps me stabilized and moves me to another area by not moving me. Only drawback is that it's based on speed and movement, so If I wanted to go from China to Korea using this skill, I have to time it right so the earth rotates in the direction where I will not get dropped into the sea. I can actually go upside down or turn myself around in the state of stasis, but it's not me that's moving, but the perception of me moving when the portal is actually moving. Also, time would go normally, so it would take the time the earth takes to move there for me to get there. One good thing is I can go into other dimensions, which then makes a multiverse affect, so I can skip dimensions since time is skewed in between the bridges of the worlds and actually go back in time. It's more like stasis to actually doing nothing, but since I can technically bend time and space, it works. Did you get t

And that the universe is constantly expanding? The only possible way that one could define a point of objective stability in the universe, and thus an objective velocity of 0, is by using the center of the universe if we assume the universe is finite in size. So by sitting "still" relative to the universe for even a single nanosecond you are going to end up off-pla
