Have telepathy >can read other people's minds and speak to people telepathically within 50 meters>can levitate anything >can mind control people within 15 meters>using your powers too much will give you an intense migraine and temporary memory loss (lasts for a day)Have super strength >possess super human levels of strength, durability and dexterity >knives, physical damage and bullets cannot hurt you>can jump higher and run faster than the average human>your strength is based on how well fed you are, a full belly gives you maximum strength while an empty one gives you no powers at all>your metabolism burns 2x faster than a normal human, so you have to eat a lot of food
>>83007490former is good if you want to make it far in society, latter is good if you want to watch it burn
>>83007490telepathy for surepeople underestimate how broken OP telekinesis really is, the migraine and memory loss are a minimal price to pay in exchange for such a fucking game changeralso, define "using your powers too much", are we talking intensity or length here?
>>83007525>also, define "using your powers too much", are we talking intensity or length here?whatever the plot requires at the moment
>>83007490super strength so i can eat like 30 burritos and then beat the shit out of anyone i want.
>>83007525>, define "using your powers too much", are we talking intensity or length here?Intensity. The more people you possess or the more minds you read, ect, the higher of a chance of your brain turning to mush randomly.
>>83007490I already have migraines and memory loss.
>someone wants to get physically violent>do pic related and walk awaytelepathy
>>83007624what about turning every person you walk past gay with your mind powers
>>83007624>can speak to people telepathically within 50 metersimagine all the trolling you could do
>>83007490Xray vision
>>83007677That isn't an option though.
>>83007658>be me, walking down the street>hear some guy behind me insult me>swing around and nail the guy that i thought said it>he falls to the ground before pulling out a pistol and blowing my brains out>mfw i die because some mind wizard decided to fuck with me
>>83007490Telepathy easy.>Job interview? Literally just scan their mind to know what they want to hear>Not only that you could just mind control the interviewer to give you a job>Or you could skip this and straight up just go for neetbux if you have any excuse because the person evaluating you now can't refuse>If you want to be evil you can now just mind control people to give you stuff and do whatever for you, or just play with people's lives by making them do something stupid or criminal for no real reason>Levitation is also a neat trickOn the other hand strength would at best let you act as a Super Hero but not really due to logistics>Need shitton of food and obviously a place to live so you need funding and a Super Hero that's busy wagecucking most of the time isn't particularly good>Need to somehow get police radio to even know where shit is happening then get there before the cops do which might not be possible>If you overexert yourself then too bad, you need to eat a full meal first before you can do anything>If you want to go all evil then you'll just get fucked as you'll be tracked down and you'll sooner or later go hungry and just get killed, unless you limit yourself to petty crime but then what the fuck is the pointTelepathy has shitton of uses when you live in society and would make your life better, strength offers basically nothing outside of maybe becoming some professional sport player if you want that or if you want to live like a hermit in some wilderness just hunting shit with your bare hands but even then if you ever get hungry because you simply didn't find any animals then you enter a deathloop and you're fucked.Like it's not even a contest, remove the part about your power scaling with how full you are and add some shit like not having to sleep or something and then maybe it's worth considering taking Strength.
>>83007549still worth it, telekinesis is too OP to pass onyou can still strengthen your mind over time to increase the mental toll you can take before your brain starts to split apart, right?
>>83007490first off, Rosario Vampire? Pretty based anonI'll take telepathy though, especially if the other option is strength based on how well fed I am. I'd be too likely to fuck some shit up at work or while working on my car just brute forcing something or losing track of my strength. Also given hat my strength could change wildly throughout the day, it'd be hard to keep a feel for how much strength I'm using at any time.
>>83007490super strength im just an average shonen protag atp lolhow much higher can you jump tho are we talking superman "leap tall buildings" or am i basically a kangaroosame question for speed mizore best girl
>>83007742okay but i can eat 30 burritos and not get fat before fucking leaping a mile and market gardening a poor single mom who stole milk from the local allsups (the world will thank me for my heroics)
>>83007756seems like something soldier would do lol
>>83007742>Like it's not even a contest, remove the part about your power scaling with how full you are and add some shit like not having to sleep or something and then maybe it's worth considering taking Strength.I had to think of a way to nerf super strength, but I think it was too effective lol.My first idea was making you more susceptible to diseases and viruses. Hell, the common cold could send you to the hospital.But even that seemed too much.
>see drunk driver>mind control him to drive home safely
>>83007792makes me wonder how it'd worklike is it like watching a movie on a shitty monitor or something or playing a game with fucked controls
>>83007803I like to imagine it as backwards controls or fucked up binds for a game that you're used to.
>>83007490The first is stronger because you can just give any enemy a little brain scramble with telekinesis. Death or retardation guaranteed. So it's very compative with destroying the world ala option 2, but more versatile because you can become some eldritch god cult leader.
>>83007490Easily the superhuman physiology. Telepathy is pretty busted but the second option will extend your lifespan massively. No one would be able to imprison or kill you, and while the moneymaking possibilities are more limited than the telepathy, you could still be a high paid assassin for the government or something. Also the downside isn't even that bad, you would just need to eat 4/5 meals per day rather than 2/3. There are special bulking ramen packets that are 2000 calories each, just carry a few of those around in case you get hungry and you'll be fine
>>83007490I already deadlift 250kg and other than being strong at deadlifting it's not very useful, the physical damage thing might be useful if I wanted to be a soldier but I don'twith mind control, levitation, telepathy I can easily make billions of dollars and hire 10 fulltime bodyguards if I need super human levels of strength
the second one. the first one would quickly make your life miserable
>>83007490super strength>moonlight as a blue collar worker>moonlight as sports star>moonlight as a mercenary/assassin
>>83007490The second one would get you captured by feds. Telepathy can be kept secret.
>>83007803probably intuitive like doing math in your head or imagining an apple
>>83007880beat up the feds you have superstrength
>>83007880What are the feds gonna do? You have super human durability. Guns aren't effective. They can't push you cause you're too dense. They can't capture you because you'll just break out of prison.
Strength i still want to pretend people closest to me are nice people and i dont want to intrude in their mind proving me right
Psychic powers for me. The strength powers are good if you want to get into fights or be suspiciously good at sports but isn't that useful for day to day real life unless you REALLY want a ton of attention. With the mind powers there are way more situations in everyday life that they can be used to great benefit without drawing too much attention. One could pretty easily obtain a life of luxury with everything they could ever desire with that set of psychic abilities.
>>83007859>the first one would quickly make your life miserableOnly if you can't turn them off or "too much" is a tiny amount. If you have full control of them and lax limits then it's only your fault if you peek into peoples minds and get your feelings hurt.
After reading through alot of opinions, ive come to the conclusion that for a more out there, adventuring lifestyle the strength is your bet. For a more secluded, quiet lifestyle your best bet is telepathy.I personally would choose telepathy because imagine using mind powers to hold up a model while i spray it or glue it together. I already get migranes from inhaling fumes so there wouldnt be a noticeable change.
The only good argument for super strength ITT is the enhanced lifespan.Mind control can get you to Elon Musk levels of power within a few years. If you're not that ambitious you could just be a millionaire poker player or use telekinesis to steal shit.
>>83008117True but you'd only have that power for 60 more years (probably less given the migraines). Personally I would rather be near-immortal, even if it takes more time to accrue that kind of power
>>83008016i'm a secluded guy but i wouldnt mind bashing someones brains out in minecraft for 500k so i can take multiple naps in my basement, jacking off and eating good food
>>83007490>Have super strengthMy dream will become a reality. I can rape women whenever I want. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
>>83008201Literal mind control is far better for rape, especially if you want to get away with it.
>>83008276no, I want them to know that they're begin rape
>>83008288you have levitation powers, and even then you could just make their body comply while keeping their mind intact, you are actually an ogre when it comes to any consideration of the abilities of your powers.
Super Strength and I enter the UFC for easy money. Eventually I'm banned after I punch someone so hard their head flies off. I die in jail because they don't feed me enough.
>>83007490>levitate ANYTHINGthats op as hell
id rather have telepathic powers. if someone with super strength came at me i could just mindfuck them.
>>83007490>1st optiontheoretically, you could rape yourself with a sex doll.
>>83007490in this case the mind powers are better than the strength powers even for combative purposes. You could squeeze somebody's carotid arteries and they'd be dead in two minutes, and no one would even have a clue it was you doing that, and since that takes very little effort you could do it all day. it does not take a lot of force to squeeze a couple of veins. "can levitate anything" is AN INSANE thing to give someone. ANYTHING? A building? A mountain? I'm going to assume you meant like a few hundred pounds at a time at most. That's still better, it would allow you to win fights all you want and also make money from gambling.The strength build can still be killed, and since you can't really be too subtle with it in order to hide your abilities, eventually you WILL be killed. You still need oxygen, poison can still kill you, you could be put unconscious via gas and then have your intestines lined with c4, etc.
>>83008117if you use mind control wrong you'll make a lot of enemies and eventually one of them will trace it back to you or someone will just decide that you're becoming too powerful, and 50 meters ain't shit when your opps got a riflestrength is what I want. never mind all that invulnerability shit, it would be cool to become some kind of pro athlete and spin it into a movie career and influence people by being a role model or whatever instead of manipulating them and shit. like one year I'm making messi look like an amateur and the next I'm mogging pogacar at the tour de france, and it's all natty? and I don't become a fatass by eating and drinking? sign me the fuck up for that>>83009121the problem is the limitation of your brain blammoing if you go too hard, which can hit you whenever the plot requires, which means the worst possible time because the author wants some dramatic tension
>>83007490>Have telepathy>>can read other people's minds and speak to people telepathically within 50 meters>Read guys mind, hes secretly a serial killer>Read girls mind her best sexual partner shes had is her pet dogyou'd probably blow your brains out after a couple weeks.
>>83008339just eat a cellmate and break out
>>83007490I'm a nosy asshole so the ability to read minds is too tempting. I'm also a pervert so mind controling people is too tempting. Also giving telekinesis as part of the deal makes it a no-brainer.Super strength is going to be useless half the time and if you become to much of a threat the government anti-mutant squad is going to tactical nuke your ass.
>>83011018>physical damage cannot hurt youNukes aren't doing shit if you've had your tendies
