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)
The drawbacks probably wouldn’t be worth it, unless I underestimate my willpower, but having a power from an “in the planning phase” work I’m working on wouldn’t be the worst. Specifically the power of the main characters chief rival.
To keep it brief, he’s pretty damn smart while also having long horns he can bend and contort like nothing. The catch is that the use of his power slowly kills him over time. He, like all the other superpower like users, is the result of the fusion of someone traveling to another dimension with someone else.
Due to low willpower, the guy has full control over the host and I am a little worried my willpower wouldn’t be able to outshine his. Then I’d be trapped inside a transformed version of my body without any control while a madman tries to recreate the transdimensional travel back to his dimension. All while my life is slowly drained away.
