      It was just one line but I loved when someone told Q that he was a trickster god to a planet from how much he messed with them in the past.

      The implications of that. Ok, without the Marvel movies I highly doubt even 10% of the human race knows what Loki is about. Q was the trickster god for an entire planet. Billions of people knew the legend of Q. He must have been doing stuff to them for thousands of years all across their society. Take the most well known people in history there is still a big possibility that most people hadn’t heard of them a century or so ago.

      Q was bigger to them than Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, the Emperors of China, the Monarch of the UK, Plato, and Santa combined to this species.

      Honestly this is a pretty good one. It’s basically the “any technology of sufficient complexity is indistinguishable from magic” answer. The Q Continuum were a weird mix of magic/super powers, and even demonstrated the ability to gift those abilities to others at will.

    Id personally choose power mimicry (the version where you just have to see a person using a power once and can just mimic it at any time) then I’d just build my set of powers

    id choose super speed,
    the kind where you also change your perception of time and everything just seems to slow down compared to you.

    as long as i can change that speed, and am not stuck percieving everything at a crawl.

    “The Force”.

    Pick things up with my mind? Super speed? Super jumps? Jedi mind tricks? Premonitions? Force Conference Calls? Lightning? Chokes? Healing? Die and come back as a ghost?

    Does it need to be noted as a superpower within the story? If not, I’m saying plot armour. I get to be safe in the knowledge I can’t die or be taken out of action unless all plot threads that need me are resolved ahead of time.

      Plant armor is a device for turning death into trauma. Are you really sure you want it?

        It doesn’t make death traumatic. It makes death impossible until a certain point in the narrative, and then death can happen however the author chooses. It means I won’t be killed stupidly through a random accident while I still have unfinished business.

          What I meant was that It takes situations which would normally result in death, and makes them result in trauma instead.

      The main character of the novel “Infinite Mana in the Apocalyps” literally has the traits “I’m the Main Character”, “Plotarmor” and “Nexus Events”, so you are good with that choice.

    Spatial/Dimensional magic from most things that have spatial magic in them. It gives you the ability to teleport, create portals, create/use your own inventory, and even teleport to other worlds.

    Do I get the power without possible strings attached? I’d totally be down to be a genie like in Aladdin, so long as I could choose my first “customer”. Having to live inside a itty bitty lamp would definitely suck, tho.

    Legit, in the real world, wolverine’s healing factor is the most useful. Other stuff is about tricks. His kind of healing means no cancer, no Alzheimer’s, no strokes, no heart attacks, nada. A long, healthy life free of disease of almost any kind.

    The only drawback is the semi-immortality. A long life watching others die would suck hard. It’s already bad enough with a regular life span.
