You can pick one super power, for the entire world to have.

[Dawon]

Impotence... let's just agree that humans didnt do that much good for Mother Earth.. let's just call it a day and let someone else start over from scratch!

[Arthas242]

Immortality to everything but old age.

if your immortal your 100% likely to get stuck in a ditch and be forgotten forever and go insane for eternity....

[Prada]

The entire populous of the world will inherit this one power, ultimately making it a normal characteristic of the average human.

1. What is it?
2. Why?
3. What effect would this have on the current state of the world, verse the "super" state of the world?

Teleportation at will
Because it would be awesome
No need for public transportation, less pollutants, more gaming uptime :P

[Haibara]

Mind reading. Too many interesting applications, gonna invest in thumbprint scanners in advance though.

[BuckSparkles]

How about absolute honesty?

It would be rocky to start, but over time peoples behavior and life would change to accommodate the fact that they can tell no lies.

Flash like speed. Can you imagine a 6'7 300lb flash!?!

Not being able to tell white lies would be a disaster. A huge part of civilized interaction is not being totally honest with people.

Now if we amend your statement to be more in line with the eighth commandment, then I agree things would be a lot better. If courts could be assured that people were telling the truth once they were sworn in, that would significantly improve society.

Thank god we would have a power to restore them !

they probably just keep doing considering most feminist are nutters

*also i do not hate woman*

[AeneasBK]

What: Mind Reading
Why: Who knows? Would be the most interesting
What would happen: Um, shit would hit the fan to start with then I guess we'd be better connected. I dunno, maybe I just want to see the shit hitting the fan part.

[Vash The Stampede]

Great way to indirectly fund the space program too, since over population would quickly become a thing

I don't see this as a problem. But if you could heal anyone you could cure disease and restore missing limbs and paralysis. You'd make a lot of people happy.

[Gimlix]

Light of speed i would love.
Just like Kizaru

I'd choose the power to disintegrate idiots on sight. All I have to do is walk down the street and watch the dredges of society melt before my eyes.

Or the power to turn anyone into chocolate.

remember though the question was asking what power you'd like to see EVERYONE have.
Someone out there might find a way to think you are an idiot. And then boom you are now chocolate and quickly disintegrated

[Xilurm]

Empathy. You literally feel what other people do.

Would result in ending hatred and violence pretty darned quickly. It's a lot harder to try and slaughter thousands of innocents in a war when you're going to have to feel every single one of those deaths as if they were your own.

What about anger and hate? Didn't work that well in MGS4 now did it?

[Reeve]

Energy generation. Everyone could be their own battery. No need for fossil fuels when you can be your own car's power source. Want exo-frames to help you with construction activities? No problem because you don't need to have a power cord or batteries or an on board generator. Cell phone need a recharge? Just hold it for a little while. Same with laptops.

[Xandrigity]

To cure illness and injury with a touch of the hand.
