I'll magneto's power and his helmet the blocks psychic powers. I don't know if you remember, but his helmet kept Mastermind out of his head in Striker's base. That's why I said spychic powers instead of just telepath. It may block empathic ability as well, but there's no way to tell from the movies.

Re: Like X-Men what power would you like to have if you could...?

I was thinking along the lines of Magneto, or Wolverine, or Cyclops, and then I thought nah, the most obvious choice would be The Mimic, and then I could combine powers of any X-Men and do what I want...

That or Phoenix. Altering reality on a molecular level and the ability to consume stars... I can go with that

I don't think I could be trusted with Xavier's powers, but they'd be pretty cool to have...

You know, if you really think about it, you'd be totally and completely blind. Without a retina and cones and rods for the light to land on, no signal is transmitted to the brain, so it would be a world of darkness...
And even supposing you could see, you'd see behind you, and all around you, as well as in front of you all the time. Not sure how we'd process 3D info.
I'd go outside genre, slightly, if I may and have the ability to fly, so Torch would be kinda neat.

Re: Like X-Men what power would you like to have if you could...?

thats not going out of the genre... MANY x-men can fly... and technically the Torch is a mutant aswell (or mutate more accurately)... so still well in the bounds of the genre...

Maybe i miss-read, i thought it was like an X-man and not An X-man power. If that is the case i would have Gambits power... if not i'll stick with the one from my dream

I'd like Nightcrawler's Bamf! ability - but without the pelage, the azureness and the tridactylous extremities, please...

Warpath would be my choice he's super strong, fast reflexes, great stamina, awesome duribility, plus a master of hand-to-hand combat and use of weapons.

this is a subset of the powers that both Banshee and Siryn/Banshee have. A very interesting choice. And one that Magneto's helmet (mentioned above) could not block, sinse its not a psychic attack, but an aural one.
