Re: Which power?

So you've been studying it for that long? what made you so interested in it
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

I think that mythology and religion in general is fascinating. I never really delved into Zoroastrianism, Pagan or Egyptian stuff, because it tends to get pretty occultic, but other than that, I find it all quite interesting. I guess it also helped that I love to write poetry and fantastically-original stories.

while we're on the subject is it just me or are most of the greek and roman god's pretty messed up compared to the ones from other religions?

the talented and misunderstood cripple/disabled person (Hephaestus)

the unapproachable beauty/cheerleader/slut (Aphrodite)

the really smart chick (Athena)

the virgin nature lover (Artemis)

the handsome charming hottie with a dark side (Apollo)

the old-fashioned one (Hestia)

the nurturing mother (Demeter)

the mean drunk (Dionysus)

the gossip/the sneaky one/con artist (Hermes)

the jock (Ares)

Hmmm, I would choose Ability Imbuing. I could indirectly get any power I wanted, for example:
1) Want Superpowerlist*? Make a scroll with that power.
2) Want Power of Imagination*? Make a helment with that power.
3) Want Superspeed*? I introduce shoes!
4) Want Empathic Mimicry*? Use a belt with that power.
5) Want Personalized Spellbook*? Give that power to a normal book.

I was looking for a different topic, but saw this and posted on it. After all, it was dead and buried, why not bring it up?
Bow before your unimaginably powerful overlord!

Wait a minute, I'm currently too busy holding a cork in mid air for petty groveling.

You can try, but my fire protection powers will let me laugh in the face of your petty attempt at execution.

Well does your power protect you from POWER negation?

Or suffocation?  

Or starvation?

Or continuous nut-shots throughout all the rest of eternity?

This post was updated on .
Power Negation: I have used Ability Imbuing* to create defensive objects, along with my powers (e.g. Normalization Immunity*, Power Channeling, etc).

Suffocation: I'd adapt holes in my body to breathe.

Starvation: I'd just teleport somewhere hot (e.g. a desert) and use Heat Eater*.

Continuous nut-shots: Ow, ow, ow, ow, *grows immune to pain*.


Ahem. Back on topic. The power I'd choose would be Omnipotent Power Mimicry*, so I could try whatever powers I wanted.

I think I'd go for the crystal/quartz equivalent of Clayface's powers.

I think I could have some serious fun with that kind of power.

Yes. Yes you could.

You'd basically be the Diamondback version of Clayface. Deadly (and very versatile) combo.

I might want to use a watered down version of that power for an RP sometime.
