9th Wonder

This coming Monday is an important day for superhero geeks (myself included kind of. only a partial superhero geek). The long awaited premiere of NBC’s soon to be cult classic, Heroes, returns to the airwaves. In its third season, the series will focus on villains. So, that got me thinking. If I were to gain an extraordinary ability, what type of ability would it be and how would use such an ability (honestly, I can’t of anything meaningful to write about so I picked some elementary bullshit)?

If I were to gain an extraordinary ability, I would want progressive psychokinetic ability. What the fuck is that you asked? Well, my ability would be more than just telekinesis. Moving and breaking objects is just kind of lame although my ability will incorporate those talents. By progressive psychokinetic ability, it would enable me to manipulate all states of matter (solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. a little chemistry lesson for you). With this ability, I could part the Atlantic Ocean, pull apart a car, move a cloud of toxic gas (I guess if I could see it) and fling people in the air as if they were getting abducted by grays all with my mind.

Regarding its progressive nature, I would not initially posses these god like powers. I would have to acquire or mature into the higher concentrated forms of my ability.

I would channel my powers through my hands and eyes. Hand channeling would be the preferred method as it is most potent. Excessive eye channeling would give me nose bleeds and send me into a seizure like state.

As for as wielding this power, I would try my best to keep it covert, but I’m sure a simple asshole moment would have me show it off. I would not use my power for sadistic purposes (unless it’s well deserved) like pushing someone into oncoming traffic or splash someone’s drink in their face. First, I’d use it to enrich myself like robbing top tier drug dealers (spare the low level pusher men) and mobsters. I’d be practically invincible so why not? I have no doubts the government would be on to me by that time since I would probably touch at least one of their criminal assets in my robbing spree. Once the heat gets on me, that’s when it gets epic. The lone god like geek vs. the elites.

I’d battle against the government agents, Blackwater or whoever. They’d abduct my family, threaten them with harm if I don’t surrender myself to them so I give in. Once in their custody, they blast me with radiation which weakens me significantly, I go lose control of my power and dematerialize everything within 500 miles. Destroying everything within that radius. The end.

Oh and my uniform would consist of a black pea coat, a grey dress shirt, black slacks, black dress shoes and a pork pie hat. Yeah, uber cool.

You probably hated reading this as much as I hated typing it, but my mind is shit at the moment.
