  • The Zach Morris Time-Out causes blindness and suffocation.

  • The Scarlet Witch's powers (hex magic) - the ability to change reality depending upon it's improbability. And, since it is only the power, not the character, you wouldn't have all the crazy that she had.

    It encumbers everything: it is very improbable that I'm going to teleport - with all my clothes - in to this concert; that I will be invulnerable; that, for what ever reason, I will escape the inevitable entrapment; that I will see any given woman's boobs. And so on. It's the perfect system!

  • Personally, I'd choose waterbending. That is if we can pick a superpower from Nickelodeon cartoons...

  • @VulcanTrekkie45 Mera, Aquaman's wife, arguably has that power. It's Atlantean magic, but essentially does that.

  • Pretty much what would happen if you read the elder scrolls...

  • Unlimited knowledge know everything essentialy.

    Pros: If someone would for example try to punch me id know it,and avoid the situation completly.

    Disadvantages: Youd maybe go mad cause youd know when you die and when your loved ones would die aswell and you wouldnt be able to stop it,for example your daughter would be in school during a heavy earthqauke hurting her badly or even killing her and you wouldnt be able to do anything about it.

  • I say go with longshots power. He has the power of luck. I have no plans on fighting crime and that still sounds like the bitchingest power ever.

  • gravity because youer body becomes connect with it so youer body can breath in space and you can fly tecnally and teleport anywhere gravity or zero gravityyou dont need to breath so you can talk faster see anywhere gravity and zerograbity is its just simple logic

  • I'm conflicted between either controlling time or space.....

    With time I could get away with stuff....

    While with time I could alter stuff...like if something about to hit me I could just warp it else where....which I guess is like jumper...depending how you look at it....

  • Katie is sporting some hot cleavage.

  • Control the elements.

  • @TheBestLegoMan Depends on what you define as elements and what you define as control.

  • @Ebvardh All the elements like fire and water and you can control it just how you want it.

  • shape shifting

  • forge from xmen has the perfect super power, build anything you like/super intellegence. money in the bank right there.

  • the power to cum money

  • @MissStoryTelling Without regeneration powers or super elasticity, your urinary track and prostate will be severely damaged and you'll probably die after your second time cumming.

  • Flying. I can run, plus i love mountains. just fly around, enjoy the view. =)

  • highest on my list would probably be teleportation or shapeshifting (like Mystique I mean)

  • what about that one chick from x-men who changes into other peoples identity?

  • best super power? time/space control hiro nakamora style, obviously

  • Id still rather have that immortality wolverine power. I mean, come on. Just be careful where you go.

  • x ray vision that could be turned on or off

  • HOLY BALLS MICHAEL IS SCUD! I havn't seen him since i was 6 years old!

  • Comment removed

  • ability to do anything

  • swaim made a dune reference =D I now have someone i'd turn gay for =D

  • shape-shifting.

  • m gonna try and get more views for after hours .. 30,721 doesnt do it justice ..

  • The other "Best Superpower" is the ability to make small changes to objects. For instance, a table slowly gets bigger, or the walls close in day by day on your roommate. You can use it to really mess with somebody and if you ever get stuck in jail you can slowly widen the window. And, like the "Time Out" power, it's nearly undetectable. Only people you tell about the power will probably catch on.

  • @EternalAzhrei

    Nice . . . very nice. Can you also make small changes to yourself--like you slowly become a faster runner or a little bit taller or . . . well . . . other things . . .

  • That was really well done

  • Not a super power but I would have Bernard's watch. Thats something only an English 90's child will understand I'm sure.

  • @mitchelleleyou don't need to be english to know thatf you sit in a rainbow a mailman will giveyou a timestopping watch, but it helps

  • Reality Warping

    Omikinesis

    space manipulation

    mind control

    all of these beat time out

  • What about genetic manipulation, and bio-mass control (provided you come in contact with it). You could take useful trait from the animal kingdom, get awesome blade arms like in Prototype, liquify bad guys, and shape-shift to become the best C.I.A. agent ever. You also can't die if you don't want to, and if you get blown up, you could just heal yourself back together like Wolverine. Hold on while I find a genie so I can get this power.

  • faster than buildings

  • If you say you teleport without clothes you have to say that time out causes matter to stop moving which would mean instant freeze and light literally not getting in your eyes. Stay serious for fucks sake.

  • we couldnt just have a conversation about comics?

    no not at all.

  • Time stop is useful, but there are some problems.

    1. Aging faster.

    2. It being pretty useless for anything other than small-time personal gain.

    3. All the physical impossibilities already mentioned.

    I like teleportation... assuming you can bring clothes and have a decent range, it has an incredible number of applications, from crime-fighting to day-to-day activities.

  • @emmettr3

    How about if you assume that you don't age while in it? And honestly, it's not really limited to small-time personal gain. You could do anything if you had an unlimited amount of time to figure it out.

  • Best Superpower is clearly Fus Ro Dah

  • So fucking underrated

  • Why would you assume your clothes don't teleport? Why does anyone assume that? In every comic world, and in Jumper, the clothes teleport too.

  • So Swaim likes to be Vladimir Harkonnen, does he know that Vlad loves young boys? hmm...

  • The "time out" power wouldn't work as what they are talking about is power over forces, gravity, motion, cognitive thought etc. You could not just pause someone as these things have nothing to do with "time" but a multitude of things.

    So technically the best power of the buch would be to pause peoples brain function.

  • Does anyone else think that Soren looks like Craig Ferguson at 6:18?

  • It's gotta be the power from InFamous. It basically tuns you into a giant battery that jsut keeps holding more and more power. Eventually giving you time travel. After long enough you could basically do anything because you would have so much energy. You'd eend up having enough energy to move at the speed of light.

  • @BaggyOz Yeah but you can never go swimming or take a shower. Sure you can try to impress chicks with you electricity but you'll smell worse than snookie's vaginer.

  • @jakey926 Not really. You have two options ground oyurself in someway then the electricity would flow out safely. That or you use some other way of cleaning or hell even jsut deoderant.

  • Particle manipulation- you could go through objects or projectiles like shadowcat in xmen or dl hawkins in heroes. with the proper control you could utilize it to transport yourself, part of yourself, fly and change particles around you

  • Control over matter, just like Molecule Man from the comics.

    I want to point out, though, since they were poking holes in all the other super-powers (The Flash liquidizing from running too fast ect), stopping time would also cause its own problems, such as not being able to breath because of the fact that the air would be frozen in time also. As well as that, he wouldn't be able to move anything, because essentially he moves something 'so far a distance' in ZERO time. IMAGINE THE G's!!!!

  • @TowardOliver or doctor manhatten/cap atom?

  • @TowardOliver

    Also, you'd grow old faster.

  • @TowardOliver Eh, even that stuff, while cool, has the drawback of not being powerful. The proposed which super power would be best on a day to day basis, and you don't go about fighting crime. I think shapeshifting on a day to day basis would be useful, I mean even low level Mystique stuff would be fine, even at a slowed rate, because you still get your ideal body with little to no effort. Useful considering everyone's emphasis on looks.

  • transmutation- being able to transform things into anything else i think of. i could turn trash into money. HELL YEA

  • meh gravity manipulation for me.

  • HE WENT AS SCUD THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN?!?

    YES SWAIM YES, YOU ARE A GOD TO ME. God yes...

  • Almost unlimited telekinesis. Like being able to wipe out a neighborhood with your mind. Or being able to manipulate your telekinetic propertieds to be able to fly or heal yourself on the microscopic level. "Oh I have cancer. Ill just use a tiny amount of telekinetic energy to zap the cancer cells." Stuff like that. You could easily live far longer than the average person. And with all that telekinetic energy you would always be energetic and feel alive. The possibilities are almost endless

  • control over elements

  • man i freaking thought of this being the best power in like... 5th grade... for swaim's reason

  • compulsion.

  • What is Soren dressed as?

  • @nandee1fuery he took off his cap america costume

  • Hyper intelligence. You would be the smartest being possible in the universe. You could make the world so much better AND you could give yourself other powers. Tony Starks only real "power" is the intelligence that he used to make his weapons specifically the iron man suit. It's perfect with virtually no down sides. Only thing is people might ask you to solve all their problems, but when it only takes you a nano-second to solve it that's fine.

  • That bitch is so HOT!

  • everyone knows its DR MANHATTAN who has the best super power

  • @The40ozs Dr Manhattan has more than one superpower, now if you only mean the the control of sub-atomic matter... he wouldn't be able to do such with out telekinesis, much like other superheros, the power is part of a suite and almost all are needed for a complete power.

  • @Adamarchy77 Uh, still better than Superman. Although you're right, he can turn matter into energy (as he does with himself) and therefore can turn anything into a beam of light directed whichever way he wants and stop it there...

  • Shapeshifting, you can be anyone, get people you don't like in trouble. Girls like Brad Pitt (Boom!) your Pitt, Girls like sparkling Emo Vampires (Boom!) your a disco ball with fangs. Also you have almost limitless entertainment value with it, mess with people on a lot of ways. Random on looker " Wait did I just see Oprah Throwing eggs at pedestrians from a monster truck, playing ACDC's Iv Got Big Balls???". Yes you did and it would mess with your head or give you a great story that no one woul

  • What about Willpower from One Piece? It causes weak people to pass out. Tell me you wouldn't like to knock people unconscious once in a while. There'd be no evidence too, so you could knock your boss out without repercussions, MAKE your kids to go to sleep, or if you're a petty thief, mugging would never be easier.

  • Names title "The best super power (is not what you think)"

    Best super power is exactly what I thought.

    Misleading Cracked.

  • I'm with Swaim, invisibility would be my choice.

  • I don't know if anyone is still interested, but I think Katie is Lex from "Gloomcookie" by Serena Valentino.

  • Manhattans power

  • Dune reference for the win

  • Wait a second... If Zach Morris had the ability to freeze time, and we all know that Mario Lopez is the horrible eldritch abomination he is... Saved by the Bell was actually the equivalent of Smallville and we have no idea what the main story is.

  • "Yeah, we're closing, so..."

    "INVISIBLE!"

  • power of luck

  • Best show on youtube lol im sad i did not find this sooner

  • Whiner 2: But what about other people? Aren't you screwing them over and won't they come to resent you?

    No. If you care about them and what they feel/think about you, the power would stop that from happening.

    In essence, you are a Mary Sue.

  • @MrVirrus I guess I'm Whiner 3. While Constant Good Luck sounds sweet indeed, I feel it's a cop-out and a way to cheat the question. It's more like just general magic that manipulates every conceivable con into a pro. It's too diffuse/cheap, and even questionable as an actual "power". In fact, you could just apply "luck" to anything, as in "Lucky Flight", thus rendering the Flight cons presented in the video obsolete.

  • @DeadCamper To manipulate probability in your favor is a power already established by the Scarlet Witch (prior to her recon with reality-bending). In addition, to apply it to something like Flight would be giving the person 2 powers, instead of one, which violates the scenario.

    Aside from that, it seems more like your problem is that there isn't a con to the power, which is what I thought the video was try to figure out. The power with that maximizes the pros and minimizes the cons.

  • Constant good luck. Everything goes your way.

    Whiner: But if everything goes your way, nothing will be difficult or challenging and you won't learn and life will be boring and blah blah blah.

    Wrong, if life got boring and predictable, things would NOT be going your way. The power would prevent this from happening because you would hate it to happen.

  • +1000 to Dan for doing air quotes the "Spidey" way at 0:44

  • Comment removed

  • Psychokinesis. cos fire is cool

  • Power Mimicry, you could have any and everybodies.

  • persuasion !

  • That's easy.

    The power to be a Time Lord.

  • So............nobody else is going to point at that epic cleavage on katie?

  • @winning12341 Only everyone on here....

  • @winning12341 Swaim did.  ;)

  • The waitress looks like Morgan Webb

  • Absorbing others powers- like Peter Petrelli! I'm always too greedy to choose just one >:D

  • @panictaindfobrox They usually just put gloves on people with that power.

  • Duplication. Done.

  • Man, Cracked is probably the most underrated youtube channel in history!!!

  • @Maklolm Well in all fairness, most people prefer watching Cracked videos on Cracked (although the same scenario only BENEFITS Collegehumor.)

  • @Maklolm they are already successful on their own website with hundred of thousands of hits on a lot of their articles so its not like they need to blow up to keep producing content, but yea, on one hand i like the hipsterdom of watching underrated cracked videos, but on the other hand, FUCK those other channels who have comparatively worse content with more views >=[

  • @Maklolm temme abt it .. ive watched all their after hours episodes and think its the best thing on youtube .. still just 30k views .. but now that whole skype office thing is getting boring .. MORE AFTER HOURS !!!!!!!

  • @Maklolm Though, After Hours sucks.

  • Absolute persuasion. You could get anything you wanted. LEGITIMATELY.

  • Shape Shifting

  • Shape Shifting. Discussion ended.

  • Too bad I didn't see you guys at comicon, that would have made the trip worthwhile.

  • Superspeed - I'd just be the most famous sprinter and olympian of all time... and I'm WHITE!!

  • @firehound100 You would burst into flames from the friction such motion would cause.

  • Control over time would actually be the ultimate power. Right now I'm sitting my final school exams and omg if I could pause time, copy from my notes and extend my exam times without anyone seeing I would be so happy.

  • @hawaiidispenser What can you do in 10minutes, some guys would be in the girls locker room for 10minutes @-@

  • I would want green lantern's ring

  • Comment removed

  • YOU WILL GROW OLD FASTER!!!!!!!!!! DUUUUU

  • @TheFinalVampireKing1 True, BUT if you only use 10 minutes worth of Time Out power per day, that only adds up to aging 6 extra months over a 75-year lifespan.

    For me, the most pressing flaw in the Zach Time Out power is that the user MAY become jaded toward life, since there is no challenge, there is no thing you cannot obtain. What good is having all this power if life itself has lost its appeal?

  • The power of the heart seer!

  • The power of complete persuasion.

  • there is a way to solve the "naked" teleportation. instead of YOU and only you being teleported, you can just choose multiple objects at once (including yourself) to be teleported to somewhere else. This has most likely ALL the downsides solved AND you can teleport anything you want (like obama) and teleport it to you.

  • either i haven't read enough into the comments, or this is the first "katie's smokin' hot in this episode" comment. ... INVISIBLE!!

  • The power to shape shift into any animal, kinda like mystique except no blue skin. That way I could turn into a bird and fly, turn into a fish and swim, and basically any other kick ass ability animals have that we don't. Sure I'd have to be hyper aware of my surroundings but for the most part I'd be set. The other option of course being copying other powers but that would require other people to have them in the first place so...

  • i would so pick density manipulataion nothing bad about it

  • I think shapeshifting is also pretty good, and I'm not sold on teleportation having a downside.

  • I like Superman the best. That is all.

  • @superdisconinja Supes is very underrated and laughed at too much I feel.The world needs more people like you in the world.....as well as more strippers......and sushi chefs.

  • @GrimmGun1 It's mostly only the comic geeks who make fun of Superman...on TV though, Superman arguably has a better history than the other superheroes, especially in the last 20-30 years with the Adventures of Superboy, Lois and Clark, Superman: TAS, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, and the recently ended Smallville.

  • @superdisconinja And I noticed you said nothing about the sushi chefs.....or strippers.

  • @GrimmGun1 what can I say about the greatness of sushi chefs and strippers that hasn't already been said?

  • @WhiteMaverick321 wrong! This is one power with several uses! The base power is mental control of Physical/ psychological surroundings, but the applications of which are nearly infinite! Though, I still cannot control my lifespan and the slow decay of my modded psyche, that still grants me the base powers of a god!

  • @sonyslilhelper No he's right. What you're describing is telekinesis mixed with telepathy (or sensory manipulation), with a dash of super reflexes thrown in for good measure. It's far from useless, but multiple powers mixed together into one is still just multiple powers.

  • @GrimmGun1 it doesn't add any reflex time, as it only allows you to tell what a person is thinking and to act accordingly (that means you'd have to know there is enemy, which i did overlook) and it can modify the brain waves and muscle movements of a victim, making it a purely physical, making it one power (super maental manipulation of physical matter) and making it the best power.

  • @GrimmGun1 sorry for these mistakes:

    1. making it a purely physical power

    2. super "mental" manipulation

    3. the belief that any one power is unquestionably the best

    4. the realization that you will read this first and will have no clue what it means until you scroll down.

  • @sonyslilhelper Okay, then that puts the user at being a telekinetic brain surgeon/puppet master with telepathy. Still more than one singular power. Even on a base physical level, the puppet mastery aside, you have the user being receptive of brainwaves attuned to intents of busting a cap in his ass. And from what you described it applies to all and not just saps he's controlling. That makes it two separate powers trying to fly under the same banner.

  • The ability to see into the future *nods solemnly*

  • @LucianHalo That comes with a big bag of disappointment. Easiest use is cheating the lotto that's a guaranteed win. But beyond personal gain you would't be able to stop the next 9/11. Since you lack the ability to change the future, you can only see into it, your path in the time stream and your fate is on a set, immutable path. Not to mention it takes the thrill out of living. Look at Doctor Manhattan, he saw the future and it only brought him, for the most part, misery. Rich? Yes. Happy?.....

  • Time freeze is useless without spatial manipulation, since you also freeze the oxygen around you, making it a see through body casket. In addition you'll also freeze to death or suffocate, since heat is no longer traveling through the air nor is oxygen traveling into your body. And you'd wind up blind since the wavelength signals for all light would cease. Now what Zach Morris did without killing himself is slow time, allowing for movement and preventing him from dieing.

  • @GrimmGun1 Now, what would be useful is the ability to manipulate your own cellular structure as you see fit.

    With cellular manipulation, you get to create your ideal physical self. Too fat? Skinny! No muscles? BEEFCAKE! Two arms? FOUR! The only set back is that you'd have to wait for changes to take place, you still need to eat to get nutrients to fuel your changes, but considering you can sit all day and get the body of Zeus is nothing really criplling. Plus you become AIDS/Cancer proof.

  • This was my 5th time watching this and i just relized they said "faster than a speeding building" and "jumps over tall bullets"

  • I would want the power of controlling the Temperature of my surroundings.

    If I'd wanted to I could melt things, always keep my food on temperature. Never have any problems with the heat or the cold.

    AND if my power's are strong enough, I can stop global warming.

  • @Lexadin Yeah, but the problem with that is the fact that it's only one power. Meaning that you are not invulnerable to your own power. Since it's dealing with the temperature of your surrounds, it's a bubble and you'd be in said bubble.

    Melting stuff is a bad idea since you'd melt yourself along with it. And even it's mundane uses have flaws, like say making a drink cool since you'd be chilling yourself. I'm not saying its useless, but frankly walking ac isn't exactly the greatest.

  • @GrimmGun1 Mhh, well then I'll just use it to keep me at a nice temperature.

    Which is all that I want anyway.

  • @Lexadin True, but I think I can do you better one, if you'll please read below.

  • I would want the ability to become varying degrees of intangible. I know it's not the best power, but it would be fun, and I would have to work to master it, and I could find new ways to use it all the time. It would be great.

  • Wrong. Easily psycho mantises psycho kineses. I could:

    A. Move solid matter without effort

    B. Warp peoples view of reality

    C. Perfectly control people

    D. Have the reaction time to dodge bullets

    E. Sense instantly the next move of others

    F. (slowly) Rebuild humanity into one glorious union

    Only downside is I could only dodge bullets occasionally, as the speed would break some of my bones.

  • @sonyslilhelper Thise are seperate powers by their logic

  • So, what character is Swaim dressed as... I realize that this implicates my complete lack of comic book knowledge.

  • @slingshotsparro I'm thinking it's Scud: The Disposable Assassin. I'm lost as to who Katie's supposed to be.

  • For me, probably the ability the resize me or other people/things around me, but thats only because I have macrophilia.

  • why wouldnt your clothes telaport with you? its like creating warpholes

  • Well, Time Out would only work assuming you don't keep aging during the time stop. I know if i had that power, i would use it a lot, and i don't want to age twice as fast as my friends because they've been frozen and i was aging while time stopped.

    Also, that power was exactly what i was thinking, so it was what i thought,

  • power to grant wishes. then i could grant my own wish for whatever other powers or otherwise i might desire

  • Best Power: To manipulate reality. Then you can have anything at any time, no matter what.

  • Turn skin to steel like Colossus, any time your in danger you become indestructible and no one can hurt you. Plus the epic reaction when someone tries to mug you.

  • Vector Control.

  • INVISIBLE!

  • Best power: Power of suggestion.

  • Super smarts.

  • What about wireless Internet flowing into your brain, best power ever if you think like I do.

  • Technopath could be a great single power. 

  • @SuperGraphicMan You damn right!

  • Does anyone remember the movie Clockstoppers? Yeah there is the problem. I know they didnt exactly stop time but its the same concept, you would continue to age while everyone else was stopped.

  • @ohmygodgasm so who cares, as long as you use it "time out" type, 30 second situations and not to like travel long distances or build a house.... you'll age like a week every couple years.

  • ZZZ i saw your boobss..ZZ

  • i would have the power to control metal,and magnetism

  • u forgot flying with actual wings on your back (angel, dawnstar, etc)

  • i have to say well done on the futurama reference...if u didn't catch it, it was when they were talking about wolverines healing ability

  • SHAMMMEEE ! Professor Xavier is not a telekinetic ! he's a telepath!

  • shape shifting, hands down best power. want super strength? turn into a gorilla. flying your thing? a mighty hawk. want to see boobs? just become super handsome and girls will WANT to show you their boobs.

  • @gentlemanREX that would be breaking the rule where you have to be you in your body

  • shape shifting, hands down best power. want super strength? turn into a gorilla. flying your thing? a mighty hawk. want to see boobs? just become super handsome and girls will WANT to show you their boobs.

  • Knov from hunter x hunter's power but with mental placement of portals, you can live in the Fourth-Dimensional Mansion, open doors to steal free web and power, teleport to where you want plus you don't need to be nude
