Many a time it has been when I have found myself discussing the various pros and cons of a super power, usually a conversation that follows the question "What super power would you pick if you could have only ONE?"

Tbh, if you have any sort of super power chances are it's going to be pretty cool, but which is the best in terms of power potential? Which power can benefit you the most?

In my opinion it is Time/Space Manipulation. Next would be Telepathy and thus being proficient enough in that to alter peoples thoughts and control them. 3rd could go to any number of them in my opinion and thus I will not suffer myself to choose one.

I believe that Time/Space Manipulation is the best for a variety of different reasons, of course all of the pros and cons that I mention will be entirely dependent on the details of the users abilities and the reaction of Time and Space to the use of these abilities.

1. You can move faster than anything, if you wish to, by simply stopping time or reversing time and locating yourself to the ideal destination.

2. You have capabilities of being Super Strong, by simply stopping time you could easily engineer any form of explosion or sabotage in order to attain the goal that Super Strength would also have accomplished.

3. You can never die if you see it fit.

4. Unlimited time could equal unlimited access to knowledge. Of course being able to stop or reverse time would be very handy as you wouldn't want to walk to every destination, especially if you wish to travel overseas. Thus, getting your pilots licence is a breeze, not legal but still a breeze.

5. You would never have to pay for anything.

6. There is this hot girl who you've wanted to see naked for ages so you stop time, take a peak, regret it and then move on with your life.


I've decided to stop there as I could rattle of scenarios for a while.

Cons:

1. You're only weakness, aside from those you are burdened by just because you are human, would be something that all of your enemies have and that is the need to sleep. You can be stopping time and rewinding to avoid being killed while you don't know you're being attacked. This is only a weakness if you are stupid. To overcome this, simply stop time and sleep and then start time when you are done.

2. If you somehow manage to lose your powers whilst time has been stopped or whilst you are in a time that is not suited to your current situation. This of course would depend on how Time/Space reacts to this. Time may revert back to normal once your hold over it is gone or it could stay as it was made.

Apart from worldly weaknesses I can't see anymore


If you disagree with any of my points, believe there is a more useful power then post your thoughts. If there are no replies I will assume you agree.
