Super Powers

If you could have any super power what would it be and why?

Personally I'd go with Telekinesis.

Not only could I move matter with my mind but also the building blocks of matter, the atoms.

Think about it, basically everything around us is made of tiny little lego blocks and like a kid I WANT TO PLAY WITH THEM!

I don't want to just bend the spoon, I want to take it apart and reconstruct it into a fork.

By being able to see and manipulate the atoms everything is made from I'd achieve a sort of omniscience, being able to know where every atom is in something is suppose to be impossible.

I'd also have a sort of telepathy, being able to see the electrons zip around inside someone's head would allow me to read their mind. That would also give me mind control abilities by manipulating those same electrons.

I could fly and have super strength by simply altering my mass or the mass of something else.

I'd have control over all energy, since matter and energy are interchangeable. I could bend the light around me giving me invisibility.

I'd also gain heatvision and pyrokinetic abilities by being able to excite the atoms in the air or my opponent.

I'd also have Meatvision, by being able to pull the atoms that go to make up a hotdog out of thin air.

I'd gain invulnerability by being able to alter the carbon in my body to be harder than diamond.

And lastly IMMORTALITY, by being able to reconstruct any part of my body that starts to break down.

All of that...just with Telekinesis.

Look at it this way.

On most browsers, you can bring up your browsing history by pressing Control-H. (No, this is not going to become a discussion of werecows.) On Firefox, this brings up a sidebar that shows up on the left side of the window. If you put your mouse over the edge of the sidebar, the cursor will turn into a different kind of arrow. By clicking and dragging it, you can move the edge of the sidebar back and forth. You are, to put it another way, manipulating the border between the normal window and the history window. By moving the mouse, you can increase the portion of the window devoted to either part. In a more extreme view of this situation, you're increasing or decreasing the amount of existence the sidebar has.

Now, let's apply this idea to something more abstract. Look out your window. If you don't live in a highly urbanized area, you should be able to see the horizon. Think of this as the border between the land and the sky. The land and sky are obviously distinguishable thanks to this boundary. Now, if you were to "drag" the sash between the sky and the land, or to manipulate the border between land and sky, you would end up causing the sky to become larger and the land to become smaller, or vice versa. An effect of this might be to cause something that was just on the ground to suddenly be hundreds of feet in the air. Truly a frightening situation to be in. So, look at it this way - manipulating the border between two physical things shifts whatever balance there is in the interaction between those things. Alternatively, by manipulating the border between two things, you can change the manner in which they exist.

Still, this isn't that abstract, since it's still dealing with real things in the real world. Many believe that in this world, there are those things that are true, and those that obviously aren't. This divides reality into two extremes: truth and falsehood. But, since we have two extremes, logically one can imagine a boundary between those two extremes - the border between truth and lies. If one were to manipulate this border, suddenly things that were pure fantasy (flying pigs, for the sake of argument) have become reality - or things from reality have ceased to exist. This is how Yukari is said to have invaded the moon - by manipulating the border between truth and lies, as applied to the reflection of the moon on a pond, she was able to make the reflection of the moon into a manifestation of the actual moon, and so send her youkai army onto it. This is what's truly amazing about Yukari's power - the ability to manipulate the border between completely abstract concepts allows her to fundamentally change reality as we know it (at least in terms of two abstract concepts).
