You are getting a super-power and you get to choose which one. However the choices are limited. Which of these powers would you choose?

Feel free to comment on why you choose a particular power or why you would never choose a particular power.

Change colors, definitely. It would save money and time on paint jobs, wardrobe coordination and I could have red hair like everyone else around here.

Wow, you didn't make this easy, Quis. My initial reaction was to remain powerless, but, assuming it's better to have a lame power than no power at all, I chose Ron-Karr. Reason: It would make me more employable, as a spy for the CIA, for example, than most of the other powers (though MELad's power would come in handy in the case of unemployment).

it took me a few seconds to decide (mainly due to my decision making issues) but I eventually choose changing colors. like Fat Cramer said, I could change my hair or eye color or change the color of my clothes, but think of how cool it would be to everyone else (considering I'm the only one with powers).

Tough choice between bouncing and matter-consuming, but in the end I decided the latter was just too useful.

I had to go with prehensile hair. It'd be like having extra hands that can easily be gotten out of the way. Then there's all the hairstyling possibilities...

I went with the flat thing. I'd love it if my power were being able to become thinner at will. wink

Poor Stone Boy! No one wants his power. So far the Legionnaire powers are leading the pack. I guess that is why they were choosen and the rest rejected.

Flatness. Why? For job security. When things slow down in the crime fighting biz I could head off to Milan or Paris and do some modeling.But then again, I'd still probably be considered kinda chubby by their standards. Oh well.

Hmm. My favorite power (teleportation-- explaining my love for characters like Veilmist, Gates, U-Go Girl and Magik) wasn't an option, so I decided matter-consuming would be my choice.

Now I'm thinking the prehensile hair (a form of TK, maybe?) would have been the better choice. I dunno. I'm torn... (not unlike Ron-Karr after he is defeated. C'MON! Super-paper-thinness???? Bah!)

While being able to eat anything would be nice especially when I don't feel like going to the grochery store, I'd have to go with Color Kid's powers. It would save a ton of time/money on shopping and would be fun for the limiting shapeshifting nature for personal use.

The Hair, no question. It wasn't just prehensile, it was strong. It's Doc Ock time a thousand. I could swing down city streets like Spidey, using my head. And,, its TOUCHDOWN BOISE!!!! (sorry, watching the Oklahoma-Boise St game in OT)

where was I?

Oh yeah, its HAIR!!! smile

Tough choice between the eating and the color changing.

Both would save tons of money! Why, I could trim my wardrobe down to 7 shirts and nobody would really if I just kept changing colors, eh?

And the eating would be a handy way to get rid of all the garbage lying around, like old tests and horribly mushy love notes from people I'm not interested in smile I hear paper has less calories than doughnuts, too.

RE: the shirts. People might catch on if you don't wash them. wink

A good use for Stone Boy's power: Appearing in a music video for ELO's "Turn to Stone" or Rainbow's "Stone Cold."
