Hey Pandas, Post A Superpower, And The First Person Commenting Below You Will Pick A Side Effect!
In this fun challenge, all you got to do is try to think of a superpower you’d love to have. The first person commenting on your post has to think of a negative side effect correlating to your post. Let’s see what kind of wacky powers people will come up with!
This post may include affiliate links.
The ability to reply to my own post
The power to hold my breath underwater for as long as I want.
you will suddenly have the urge to use the bathroom and it will get worse the longer you hold your breath
Wait that doesn’t happen to y’all already? (Just kidding don’t worry)
Load More Replies...the longer you stay under water, the more oxygen on land decreases for everyone else
Flying
Elemental control. Fire, earth, air and water.
You hear baby shark everytime you use fire and water. You hear the default alarm that you can't stop everytime you use earth and air.
People will constantly ask you to change the weather to their preference!
The ability to leave Bored Panda for more than one second. You wish you were me.
Through-everything-vision.
... you're right there, yeah ... maybe ... choosable see-throughery is a fair bit handier, I think...
Load More Replies...I think we can all agree that “Choosable See-Throughery” is a lot less cumbersome than “X-ray Vision”, so let’s stick with that.
Load More Replies...plant manipulation
But the definition of 'Plant' relates to factories and heavy machinery.
Hydrokinises (the ability to create and control water)
However when you create water in or near a volcano, the volcano will get angry at you and erupt lava emitting toxic gases and explosive lava rocks.
Invisibility
Can I have the same power and side effects. I could just walk inside Walmart and eat and drink anything and no one would care/notice me. I could also people watch and nothing could stop me!
Load More Replies...Every time you use your power, thousands of visible, real, venemous spiders come pouring out of your ears
Teleportation
Every time you teleport you leave a hungry, angry chimpanzee in the spot you just left.
To make whatever food I want just by thinking about it
The food alway has 1 ingredient missing or added so it always tastes wrong
Both of the side effect comments below are just plain evil
I can talk to animals
Only they understand what you say, but you can't understand what they say.
Haha, I think i would still take it tbh.
Load More Replies...But every time you talk to a human even normally, they give you crazy eyes.
Every time you use your power, earth’s gravity turns into a repelling force that flings all loose objects on its surface out into space. You discover this the first time you use your power.
Oh no! That would be very unfortunate.
Load More Replies...However sharks won’t understand you when you talk to them and will mercilessly try to kill you.
Rough one considering im scared of sharks!
Load More Replies...pyrokinetic
Every time you use your power, the three people you are closest to in your life experience painful, but not damaging wedgies.
Being able to turn invisibe
Every time you use your power, you lose a friend. If you excercise your power too much you will eventually become “socially invisible.”
You have to find a lightswitch in order to use it. And it has a timer on it.
Time travel
The side effect is that time travel is like trying to push the two opposite poles of magnets together. You are always repelled from your desired destination. You may be able to get somewhat near it. But you are never able to arrive exactly where (when) you want.
SUPER JUMP
Every time you do so, the earth spinning makes you land somewhere random. Imagine jumping in New York and landing in Berlin.
However when jumping too high, you will launch yourself into space briefly and then fall down to the earth.
The power to manipulate gravity around me so I can float, walk up walks, throw harder punches etc...
But you're not stronger so once the floating stops you feel much heavier than usual and with every hard punch you might break your own bones.
Aw damn! Ah well, could be worse 🙂
Load More Replies...Every time you use your power, your tailbone grows more tender.
You are able to feel and see into the upside down (stranger things!)
Too bad that will byers is gay. Neither girls nor demogorgons gonna get to his mind (unless he gets brutally mauled, then he may think twice before rejecting a demogorgon.)
Load More Replies...I absolutely love this one, though I now imagine that will byers would not have stayed alive for much longer if this were true.
Load More Replies...Ability to control at the molecular level
It isn't very controlled, so you make lots of mistakes. If you make a mistake, you might create a toxic chemical or explosive, or set off an atomic chain reaction, creating an atomic bomb.
Every time you use your power, you lose a joint-length from one of your digits. First your fingers go. Then your toes. Arms next. Then legs.
Then hips. And eventually your neck gives out and you go completely limp
Load More Replies...I am good at anything I try like painting,dancing,piano,etc
The side effect is that you eventually crave challenge more and more. But you never get it because you are good at everything you do. It eventually drives you insane and that is your Super Villain Origin story.
That I can be any character (in both their world or ours) at anytime of my choosing. I get to pick the character and what time in their timeline, and when I become back to myself.
I'm fine with that. I barely talk IRL anyway. Plus I could just write it down.

Load More Replies...To be able to mind read
You can see everyone’s darkest thoughts, and need therapy after what you’ve seen but you don’t trust your therapists either. Also people can read yours
I can read peoples minds
This is a curse. I would HATE this. Imagine being in a room full of high school boys.
The ability to skip all advertisements free of cost, especially YouTube...
The ability to be energetic for the entire day after 2 minutes of sleep
But you’re not able to use that energy to complete anything on your own to-do list.
The ability to create food out of thin air on command
I can shapeshift
But you can only be the thing you shapeshift into for 7 mins or else thats what you are forever !
I've always wanted to be able to shapeshift into anything. Not just animals, but other people. Random people (like metamorphmaguses from HP), and even objects. Like ... the police are coming for me? Good luck with that I am now a paperclip Tries to handcuff me? Screw that, I am now an atom
To definitively communicate with animals
You are the only one who can do it, so all species of animal are crowded constantly around you, trying to talk.
The ability to turn into any animal i want
The side effect is that you have incredibly poor judgment as to which animal to turn into in which situation. So you repeatedly become a turkey right before thanksgiving, a mink in a fur store, or a cow standing right outside a meat processing plant.
To control time
Be able to fly at hypersonic speed.
Me while flying at hypersonic speed: AAAAGGHHH! Hits building. Oh no. OOOOF.
Load More Replies...Shapeshifting
But every time you shapeshift you don't know what you shapeshift into. (For example, if you wanted to change into a lion you would change into anything but a lion).
I have the entire knowledge of humanity
Napping .. just one of my superpowers.
I can avoid BP's f*****g censors
Being able to travel the multiverse.
A lab in the mouth. Some substance is found ... don't know what it is, what it's for, why it's there - just take a sip and let the analyzation buds to their work. Just like the sense of taste, but extended. Oh, and some really high tolerance against any kind of poisoning would be fine, so that this is truly usable and not just ... there, but after analyzing a bottle of Formaldehyde, the device this runs on would be permanently out of operation due to broken. No that, don't want!
Except you never have any use for any of those so it would be worthless
I can wake up and magically have a good outfit on and look presentable
I can shapeshift
To be able to shapeshift
The ability to shrink and grow back (Basically ant man lol)
when growing back you are permanently an inch smaller than you were last time.
I can just grow bigger than the 1 inch thing so i'll be my original height or taller
Load More Replies...ability to turn everything into art when required.
I can twist reality any way i want
But every minute there is a year where you live so you stay for 1 minute 1 year passed so if you stay for 100 minutes you die
Having really good memory.
Except every time you remember a piece of the past, you forget something about your present, or you lose a piece of reality, just sinking further into the memories, not knowing what's real or not ... Sorry that was weird, I'm a writer
i am monsoon from metal gear rising:revengeance
Every word that you say has to be lyrics of Stains Of Time. Every word.
Shape-shifting. Hands down best power EVER.
The powers of an Animus from the book series Wings of Fire but without the soul damage and able to revive dead things.
You can control Lava and volcanoes.
Freezing time would be cool.
precognition
but you can't tell anyone about the future unless you first say the sentence "I love you"
Being able to turn into anything, real or fictional, perfectly for as long as I want without wasting energy. I also am able to operate my different body as if I was born with it.
But whatever you turn into… you must remain as that person/thing for a week.
Telepathy; the person I telepathically communicate with is also, temporarily, telepathic.
controlling peoples minds (like making them do stuff)
Ok but you do the same exact things those other people do (e.g. make someone walk 10 steps: you walk 10 steps too)
Absolute knowledge and understanding… omniscient. I could speak any language. I could solve any problem. But moreover, I would understand the “why” in any situation… true motives, feelings, and thoughts. No more misunderstandings. I would be able to let go of any hurt, jealousy, or anger I felt, because I would be able to understand the entire situation and how it came to be. And I would know exactly what to do and what someone needed in order to make them feel better.
But you constantly day dream and lose focus so u can't actually think about other peoples feelings
TALK TO ANIMALS
the animals speak a different language than you so you can’t understand them!
