    I feel like what some of you guys miss. Here is understanding what makes life fun. Certain superpowers would make life criminally boring and the goal would be to get power so that you can do what you want with your life, try different things out, be safe and secure, but still have a life that has meaning.

    If you are too overpowered or have things that allow you to see way past what being human is, then you’d be stuck all alone looking at humans that look like ants to you and you’d be bored out of your skull. I kind of feel like that’s what Dr. Manhattan was except I think the reality would be worse.

    You have to look at what phase two of this super power would be. I kind of like the save point one or something that gives you control to do what you want, but you still have to deal with the consequences. That way you gain a lot of control over your life, but you still have to live it with consequences. It would kind of be like winning the lottery. It would be turning the video game on easy mode, but not making it so easy you don’t want to play.
