3) Since it is an infinite number of universes, there has to be an infinite number of superpowered versions of us. This means the one with the powers can't just be a jerk and not give us our powers. With an infinite number of variations on that power, we should have always had those powers, due to one of our counterparts (or, as stated before, an infinite number of said counterparts) thinking of it beforehand, with the capability to grant us our powers.

What if we were already given superpowers? Except we take them for granted and only see them as normal humanly-achievable things, so, by definition, we can't call them superpowers, because there's nothing superhuman, nor supernatural about them?

There are people who can sing beautifully while others can't. There are people with a natural gift for drawing while others have to train themselves to reach the same level. There are people who easily understand abstract mathematical concepts while others have to work hard to assimilate them. There are people with an incredible palate or nose and, from watching cooking reality shows, they seem to be really rare.

And then, there are even rarer, scientifically-explainable so not really supernatural or superhuman, gifts (or not) which only a handful have. Like resisting extreme cold to the point of being able to be butt-naked and to wash themselves with snow. Being able to draw anything down to minute details after seeing the model for a short moment. Never growing old and remaining a child for the rest of one's life. Or just being generous with other people.

What if those are examples of real superpowers some of us were given? Heck, what if BEING HUMAN is a superpower we were all given? Did you consider some of our multiverse counterparts may not be human? There may be races far more intelligent than humans in other universes and they just gave us the power to be human just because they had no use for it in their universe or because they wanted us to be the alpha predator of Earth.

So, why weren't we given cool superpowers, such as time travelling, telekinesis and such? Maybe some of us in our universe do have them and they are hiding it, or they were killed as a result of a misuse, or they were all victims of genocides because of witch-hunts, or they were captured as part of a governmental conspiracy, or they are just living on another planet. Maybe we lost at the superpower lottery and the winners are left wondering why they don't have cool superpowers, such as bipedalism, speech, vision or prehensile hands. Maybe they knew from experience that these powers could be too dangerous in the wrong hands, so they gave us safer or less dangerous powers.

 Grade A Rant...tres bon, mon ami...(Hope I said that right)

[no_name]

this is interesting haha i wanna try...

1. i'm gay (that seems to intrigue some people for whatever reason...)
2. i'm mixed with a tiny bit of filipino, irish, french, and native american... but i'm mostly hispanic/spanish (although i don't know speak or understand the spanish language haha)
3. i'm kinda addicted to facebook
4. i'm into all forms of art, but not really into anything athletic
5. i'm obsessed with the singer Mariah Carey, who i personally think is underated by my generation (i'm 15 years old)

just a side note (question :b): am i the only one here who has a picture that's actually of themselves? because i've noticed that everyone else (that i've seen) has a picture of something else other than them...

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Interesting....

[no_name]

well when you say it like that... haha =P

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Well, I am interested by the part about you liking art. I'm a bit of art fanatic myself.

[Vespert]

Hey, welcome back! We recently wondered why you left the site!

i love art. all art. visual art, singing, dancing, playing instruments, poetry... although i'm not really good at any of those, except maybe poetry haha

[no_name]

@Vespert , thanks for answering my question

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I'm more a fan of the visual aspect of art. I even have my own deviantART page.

[no_name]

oh yeah visual art is one the most beautiful things in the universe! i'm just no good at it haha but sometimes i like to watch videos on youtube of artists drawing photo-realistic portraits of people

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Well, I'm not quite that good, but you can check out some of my stuff if you like.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Well, it is interesting.

In a good way.

Surprising how honest a simple question can allow people to be.

Typically people take to much more sneaky tactics to make me open up about myself.

I was talking about our profile powers. I'm basing it on the fact that the experiment failed.

Yes, yes I did. I know an infinite number of our counterparts were non-human.

Unfortunately, the "proof" is flawed; I had the Lee Strobel poison in my mind at the time. It only means there is a finite number of universes and an intelligence is so far the only reason I can think of which would stop the creation of a universe. The Lee Strobel poison made me think I had reached a conclusion.

At least it's still a heavy argument which is unlikely to be shot down immediately.

If the victims of witch-hunts had superpowers, why were they killed successfully? Even underwater breathing could allow one to survive certain trials, at least for a short time.

The government conspiracy is an interesting possibility, considering wiki leaks.

The "living on another planet" is a surprisingly large possibility. Remember, I've still got an open mind, especially since I've recovered from the Lee Strobel poison.

tres bon, mon ami...(Hope I said that right)

If you meant to say "very good, my friend" I believe you are correct.

In Esperanto and some romantic languages:
Tres = Very (in Esperanto, just tre).
Bon = good (in Esperanto, bono).
Mon = my (I think, from context. The Esperanto word is mia).
Ami = friend (in Esperanto, amiko).
