That's brain damage, actually. His powers, as intended, are usable at will. Not sure why the countless characters with healing powers have not fixed it (or heck, you'd think Mr. Sinister would do it, seeing as how he was more than happy to excise a bit of Gambit's brain temporarily so that his powers wouldn't go out of control).

He summoned every creature in the entire ocean on it.
In other news, Ma-Ti once elbowed Hitler, and it is widely acknowledged that the only thing keeping him from using his ring for outright mind control is his own human decency. |

Sea life outnumbers us non-aquatic beings by about a factor of ten. That's why nobody ever messes with Aquaman (and those that do very quickly learn how large a mistake that is).

What do you want for immortality?|

I could see some conversations going like this; "Yeah I ruled the world as a benevolent god, I got bored then become the anti-christ personified, then decided to drift into obscurity, being a god of any sort is highly over-rated" "Sex, yeah name it, I've done it all - what the hell did I care, anything somebody described as abberant behavior was forgotten about in 25 years or so. Besides its all boring to me know so just sell me the damn baby oil" "I lost all faith in humanity when the bastards tried to harvest all my flesh in an effort to find out what made me immortal" "Yeah, I've only had to live through about 5,647 of the most important people in my life dieing and for some reason you think being number 5,648 makes you special - whatever I'm taking a shower and hitting the road". "So what, the stupid brat ran out in front of me and I couldn't stop in time... Sure I dont give a damn if I was drunk or not, send me to jail. Last time I went through a bus of nuns and my ride blew up killing them all. Spent five consecutive life sentences in jail and when I got out nobody remembered what I went in for". "Yeah whatever, I've seen humanity decimate itself probably ten times over, you jerks bomb yourself back to the stone age every god-damned time, then build up your stupid society and argue over the same stupid crap only to bomb yourself back into the stone age again". "Oh... so you want me to use my super science to restart the sun? Go to hell you bunch of slack-jawed troglodytes, let the damn sun blow up. I'm frigg'n tired of the lot of you anyway". "Apathy? Helluva lot better than empathy"! |
My soul?
My first born?
That is the one power that is potentially the best.
Can I be killed, or am I ageless?
I would never try to rule this mudball. I have better things to do.
the question with immortality is in which way am i immortal?
Just about every way is better than the opposite, but I could think of some forms preferable to others such as immortality with regeneration is somewhat of a must. I don't want to be stuck without a body for all eternity if something happens. I also would like an out whenever I'd like, but not unless I want that out. Aging wouldn't be so bad, considering you stop aging at around 90, but all the same who wants to spend eternity at 90...even the most perfectly taken care of 90 year old. I mean I've seen some great looking 60 year olds, but it seems like those last 30 years no matter how good you take of your self you do get messed up quite a bit... but then that could be said of 50 and 60 year olds a century ago so who knows.

Swamp Thing or Man Thing. Not sure if Man Thing was ever Human though.

But who wouldn't want to be Man-Thing? Those who know fear burn at the touch of Man-Thing! I have a collection of Giant-Size Man-Things, you know.

Spider or something else you are scared of comes out and gives you a fright.
Later on, you touch yourself and BURN!
Or go blind!

Man-Thing is all but mindless, but when characters have mystically instilled him with fear, he has self-immolated.

Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.

Actually, if you think about it, having supermans powers until you see a specific color is an awesome ability. Wanna have sex without killing a normal human? Red goggles. Wanna save the world? Yellow goggles. Wanna walk around without having to worry about accidentally destroying something due to your enormous strength? Red goggles. Wanna zip over to Europe for dinner? Yellow goggles.

Of course, wouldn't the goggles be a dead giveaway for whenever some bad guy wanted to kill you?

Croyd Crenson who's powers change every time he goes to sleep, more likely to draw a Joker than an Ace, and then there's the constant fear of one day pulling the Black Queen.

The hero could be in an anime universe where wearing goggles non-stop is normal.

Anyway. as for powers I don't want it's probably Zan's power to turn into a bucket of water. As much as sneaking to be Wonder Woman's bath would be interesting, it's pretty useless, plus I'd be constantly afraid of getting drunk....through a straw.
How about cyclops Power, he can't turn off his Eye Beam Power, he has to wear Ruby Glass's in order to See anything and his eye beam can become a nuke if he doesn't watch how he can control it.
