What superpower would you rather have?

What superpower would you posses? You got to pick one superpower and why you wanted it. Then argue why it's better(or worse) than other superpowers other people selected. It can be any power as long as it's not stupid, gross, mean, etc. You can only pick one power. If you want to change your power, feel free to do it. Good luck.

Telepyrokinesis. That way, I'd be able to burn annoying people on the internet right through their computer. And pyrokinesis is so cool.
You didn't answer your own question !

Thought control. Probably the best way to have all the money and the girls you want without anyone being suspicious. Teleportation would be second, and invulnerability is quite cool too.

I've thought of that too, but it would spoil the fun out of everything.

Time travel. You could correct any mishaps that have happened.

Transdimensionality with the power to achieve a 4th dimensional state for being able to move in its directions, in both space and time, which also gives me the possibility to manipulate the ordinary 3rd dimensional space and time we live in.

Now is that the ultimate super power?

I'd want Batman's superpower: The power of being rich with too much free time.

thought control is pretty awesome, but shapeshifting is better..

I agree, but it would be fun to begin with. Plus you wouldn't always have to use it, you could challenge yourself if you wanted to.
I'd like to be able to shapeshift...

Yes of course. You seriously get superior to everything in this universe.

I remember talking about something like that with a mate of mine on a STR lecture a couple of months ago. We assumed we'd get this power by reaching the speed of light which is kinda nonsense but this gave us mad ideas lol.

4th Dimension?

Yep. The 4th "spatial" dimension. That object is a hypercube/tesseract. It's a 2D display of a 3D shadow\cross section of a 4D object, because we cannot see higher dimension than our own. That's why we see its "shadow".

Well, if mass reaches the speed of light, it gets infinitely increased, and its size becomes infinitely small. That is special relativity.

I've always thought of time being a 4th dimension. If you multiply length, width, height, and time you get space time.

That is also correct, but another theory. What we're talking about right now is the "spatial" dimension. Time is not space, but they're related in spacetime, as you mentioned.

It's not to say you can measure space with time? I'm mean the past, the present, and the future are all separate dimensions of there own.

That is events that happens within time. Parallel universes would be a different discussion. Temporal dimensions and spatial dimensions, are still different concepts.
