If you had to choose, what would be most fun and/or useful power from a movie, TV show, cartoon, book, games, or mythos? Include any drawbacks of the power that the source adds into consideration

Separating the silly and serious analyses would also be nice. (see various videos, articles, etc. on how certain superpowers would actually kill you, e.g. stopping time would mean you couldn’t breathe as the air cannot move)

    This would definitely be mine too. Particularly if it was still jailbroken, as in the book.

    In story, it could even cope with a lot of future sight powers. It was only the apex level ones that were on an even field with it.

    The only downside is the erosion of your free will. It’s hard to make your own choices when this power is available to make them all for you.

      I feel like if you avoided giving it long-term goals you could still retain most of your humanity. You could also mainly rely on the divination aspect, and avoid the perfect-execution aspect unless necessary.

      Would still be the world’s greatest crutch, but the sheer power it offers is too tempting.
