Control time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

You retain no memories of anything that happened during a time stop. If you go back in time, everyone else remembers things normally, but you forgot that period of time completely.

Telekinesis!

It only works when nobody's looking, and everyone just thinks you were using your hands.

I'll take a gravity power I guess. Manipulation of gravity in every sense.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (16 children)

Cool! Every time you manipulate gravity, your body loses mass in addition to and proportional to how much energy is needed to do the manipulation.

Which part of your body loses this (additional) mass is totally random. It could be your fat, it could be your brain tissue, it's all random. How the mass is lost depends on what is the most likely way it'd be dissipated.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if the part of your body losing the mass was actually completely random, the atoms would disappear roughly evenly across your body, so probably the main thing you have to be worried about is your DNA (and thus getting cancer).
