If you could have

...one power set from the game in real life, what would it be?

I think my first choice would be Empathy. Imagine what I could do with that! It would great to be able to use the power "Clear Mind" to help other people focus. One small downside however is that most of the powers only work for other people, and not myself, but that doesn't bother me much, at least the powers "Regeneration Aura" and "Recovery Aura" are AoEs. :P

Do the required secondary powers come with the package? Or would super-strong muscles rip apart your skeleton the first time you flexed them?
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

The powers I'd want in real life are not necessarily the same as the ones I'd want in a combat-heavy situation.  I'd certainly enjoy Electrical Blast or Electrical Melee, but it wouldn't really be applicable to day-to-day living.

So I think I'd go with Willpower.  High pain tolerance, lots of endurance, fast healing, heightened senses, and resistance to injury?  Yeah, sign me up.

(If I could have TWO powersets, though... then, yeah, Electrical Melee/Willpower.  Or, if we don't have to follow AT rules, Electrical Blast/Willpower) ;)

Really, though, most days I just wish I had Inherent Fitness.  ;D

Flight.  I wouldn't have to worry about traffic anymore (except when I go shopping - I don't think I could carry all those bags of food on my back).

Flight would be fun... but it might be even more entertaining to go with Super Jump. I can just imagine going all boing'a-boing'a-boing'a across the city.  ;D

I'm with you, houtie...flight for me too.

Yup, good old flight for me too... the ability to simply go up and over obstacles (and annoying mobs groups of people) is by itself a fabulous. but then add in other benefits like death from above dropping stuff on people...
