The ability to find the perfect parking spot no matter what.

Although this isnât a power Iâd want, an observation: if youâre after lethal superpowers, all you need is pissweak penetrating telekinesis.
Comic and SF writers tend to massively underestimate the potential of a few grams of pressure direct to the brainstem.

I have no idea what youâre talking about. I wouldnât use my TK to kill anyone⌠I have other targets in mindâŚ
The nice thing about that superpower is that when they make a movie about you, youâll be featured on unlimited bad movie podcasts!
My animation professor in college once confessed that she wished she had a ctrl+Z for life when she was showing us the helpful undo features in Flash (insert joke about going back in time to reclaim all the time I spent learning AS3). Her face then fell, and then turned a deep red. Damn, she was a likable person.

My best friend from childhood and I used to spend hours talking about all the stuff we would do if we could shrink or grow to any size, along with anything we were touching that we wanted to shrink/grow with us. From canoeing down spring melt-flows underneath the ice hanging off the curb, to riding a remote-controlled car, to peeping (we were 12âŚ) to swimming in a bottlecap, to sword-fighting beetles, to sleeping on a marshmallow, somehow the topic was never exhausted. A huge part of me would get lost in thinking that this could happen if I believed and wanted it badly enough.
So yeah, my superpower would be to be able to go back to when I was 12.

Seems like youâll still want to jump a few inches above a nearby lake just in case someone put up a lamppost or something on the sidewalk.
Not to mention the nightmarish scenario of landing inside someone else in a crowd⌠âWHOSE THUMB IS THAT?!â

Few things in entertainment make me as anxious as a shapeshifter plot in a TV show. But then I suppose thatâs the mark of a solid superpowerâŚ

So, Modular Abilities (Cosmic Power). Thatâs kind of expensive, at 10 points per point of ability available for the slot. (Especially since you want to be able to select any power, so youâll need the Physical enhancement: +100%. (Final value: 20 pts / 1 pt of ability.)
Iâd seriously suggest at a least a few limitations, depending on how many starting points are allowed in your campaign.
Personally, I want Shapeshifting (Morph), preferably with the Unlimited enhancement, but absolutely with as many spare template points as I can afford. Even having to stick to ânormalâ shapes, this could be fun.

Is summoning Genies still on the table?
If I canât have thatâŚillusion. I have to ban myself from even touching that school when I play D&D or anything like that because I canât help but abuse it horribly.

Points budget? Now wait a minute! Donât tell my kids!
I assumed the tattoos would become as invisible as my skin. I fucking hate my phone and unless Iâm working or traveling, it sits forgotten. (To be clear, while driving, itâs on hand for emergencies.)
And my ring and piercings? Shit, I didnât even consider those, since I never take them off, and Iâve had them more than half my life. They just feel like my body.
So, Iâd like to alter my terms, and say that the invisibility needs to include all clothing, jewelry, accessories and anything in my pockets.

How about something you carry? And if itâs something you touch, like a wall, does that turn invisible?
Rules always gotta make it complex. Thatâs why the original guy always went naked, I suppose.
Thatâs a good gotcha, actually. If itâs anything you touch, and you walk around barefoot, how much of the earth becomes invisible?

Sorry, itâs a habit. Anytime I get into these discussion or see powers of any sort depicted in a story, at least some part of me is working out how to do the power in GURPS.
