What elemental superpower would you want to have?

[J.R. 3,182]

It's obvious for myself, but I'll tell you why. I like ice because:

1. It's cool (no pun intended)

2. It's not that hard to harness (like electricity which is too fast)

3. It won't kill anyone else who touches my ice creations

4. SO AWESOME!

5. Ice stays around, so I can make ice sculptures that'll last forever

I've always had a soft spot for ice, so that's my choice.

 

Second choice would be either wind or fire. 

[Venomous 18,813]

I would love to have water-based powers.

[Hocus Pocus 636]

While I'm tempted to say Electricity, I have to go with Other: Light/Dark

[Lisa 5,552]

Can't wait for all the "pyromaniacs" as they like to title themselves, to vote fire and say "I LOVE FIRE SO MUCH IT JUST REALLY DESCRIBES ME YOU KNOW?"

 

Anyway, electricity would be pretty cool.

[Sunny Fox 5,929]

Wind powers: flight, speed, possibly intangibility and the ability to blow my opponents away!

[cmarston1 5,951]

Water and ice so I could be a waterbender and have the ability to manipulate a good majority of the planet and water is my favorite element.

Either that or telekinesis and energy manipulation.

[Astral Jackpot 57]

Sadly Time is not an element so I have to choose something else. I choose water/ice because ice is amazing and if I can manipulate water then I can manipulate people like in Avatar

[Swoop Productions 78]

Personally I think i would chose the power to be able to hack anything with my mind.....and there was no way to trace me i could use it for good but hunting down hackers or bad in the fact that i would be able to hack credit cards and such without being able to be track (cuz i used my mind)

[Jackleberry 1,920]

I like the idea of having ice-based powers, personally. Being Canadian and all, I think ice suits me quite well.

[Hashi 323]

Blimy
My pyromaniac side of me wants fire but nooooo, das stupid

I would like "earth"

Very creative person, like building things. Very solid.

 

I mean, how many other people do you know that can bend steel bars over their head xD

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

I voted for water/ice, but wind would be cool too since you could fly

Whenever someone asks me this, I always say ice. And, for your information, this started long before Frozen came out.

 

Anyway, this is because I love winter and snow. I'd rather be cold than hot. You know what I mean?

[IcyHaze 593]

A part of me wants to say fire, because I love fire...but as a power it's pretty one dimensional. Besides, I can light a fire with matches. I can't make ice sculptures or redirect floods with a fridge.

Electricity sounds interesting, but in actuality it's just not worth it.

 

Water/ice seems the best option, so I'll go with that,

[rarity1 461]

Ice powers, I would be able to freeze and shatter the internal organs of my enemies.

[Sazama Ichida 2,352]

I think it would be really cool to have the antithesis of Elsa's Ice Powers. Fire. But I like electricity better cuz it's cooler.

[DeadAccount 4,603]

I would LOVE to have water powers!!!

[skbl17 199]

After narrowing my choices to electricity and water/ice, I opted for electricity. The practical uses are nearly endless, especially if you have working knowledge of electricity and magnetism.

 

- First, electricity can help a lot with everyday pet peeves, especially in our technologically advanced world. Dead cellphone or laptop battery? You can recharge it yourself; this comes in handy if you're not near an outlet, don't have a charger, or are traveling abroad, where electric outlet standards will vary. Is it cold? You can use your electrokinetic abilities to generate heat.

 

- Second, it's useful in emergencies. You can generate your own electricity if the power goes out. No need to wait on your local electric utility, and no need to buy a carbon-monoxide producing portable generator. No need to invest in jumper cables, you act as your own jumper cable. Buying an electric car or hybrid would make even more financial sense than it does, as you'd have unlimited range due to the fact that you can recharge your car on the spot if it runs out of electric power.

 

- If you know a bit about electromagnetism, the possibilities are almost endless. Your next-door neighbor is pissing you off? You can just generate a electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strong enough to knock out their power and most of their electronics. If your powers are a secret, they'd never know what hit them. Are you feeling lazy and don't want to get up to pick up the phone or change the channel? You can use your own powers to do that stuff.

 

- Cool lightning displays, of course. Just don't fry your friends, your dog, or your neighbors.

I would take being able to control the winds. I could perform a Raywing spell like Lina Inverse! I'd be able to fly if I could do that!

[Radiance64 7,051]

Wind if I could fly with it...

Also, it can be annoying when it's windy outside, so it'd be cool to have the power to stop it. Maybe I could even stop tornadoes!

[SilverStarApple 849]

Metal.

 

Or specifically, steel. But preferably just metal. Though, if I can't summon it from nowhere/my stamina, then I'll probably pick Earth. And make an island for myself, make it an official micronation, and I'll have some Earth Golems harvest plants from trees and stuff I summon/plant while I build myself an awesome castle.

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

Ice, like Elsa from Frozen has. I think that would be the coolest, because you could freeze stuff and create ice and snow.
