Your secret Super Power under the Radar

The ability to heat or cool objects at will; to whatever temperature is suitable for my reason. Not like shooting fire or ice from my fingertips. Said objects needn’t be in my vicinity nor within my sight.

The invisibility thing got me thinking. It could easily cover your monetary needs if you included the ability to make anything you touch invisble. Your discreetly turn it on when no one is looking. You walk into the bank, invisible. You hang around the bank, invisble, and follow people around until they go to The Room Where Dey Keep Da Cash. You wait until no one is looking at a bundle/bag/whatever of hundreds and twenties or whatever, and you grab them, then walk out, being very careful to keep silent and not bump into people. All the cameras in Da Cash Room sees is the money vanishing. Nobody sees you leave. They know the money vanished. They know someone stole it. But they don’t know who it was. So long as you spend/launder the money carefully, you’re off scot free.

I want the leaping from body-to-body style possession powers as seen in the Denzel Washington movie Fallen. My consciousness would be a spirit that can instantly and totally possess others just by touch. Should the body be killed, I would still have a good 60 seconds to leap into another. Also, I would have total recall of the possessed person’s memories as well as being able to seamlessly utilize their skills. So, if I possess a pilot, I can fly the same equipment he knows, and when I meet his wife, I’ll not only recognize her, but I’ll remember everything the possessed body does.

The only way to keep undetected would be to ride each body to the grave or suicide each when I’m done. Or, IIRC, the possessed had no memory of their possession. It was just lost time.

Honestly, I think that would be one of the most fun ways to be immortal. Instead of trying to ape the wealth, success, skill, attractiveness of those we admire, you could simply be that person. Even being another average joe would be fun. You could swap gender or race on a whim as well.

While it would certainly be fun you’d better hope you have the ability to turn it off, or you’d eventually end up as a disembodied spirit with nothing living around to possess.

Which wouldn’t be fun at all.

Though it might be poetic justice for all that body-jacking which is morally questionable at best. :wink:

The power to move milk with your mind?

I’ve only worked in one bank, but: the vault is open during working hours. But all the cash inside is kept behind a cage or two which needs two keys to operate. Tellers have individual 1-key lockers, but those only have cash if the teller gets a big deposit (in our case, $10,000 max in your window drawer, put it in the back if over). You could inviso-pickpocket a teller, but the good ones keep their big-currency drawers locked all the time, thus you’d have to be quick (<10 seconds) or else they’d wonder where the keys went.

Why couldn’t you just follow a teller when they went to get their cash and grab some for yourself while the cage is open?

Because you’re not trying to get caught, and you mentioned not bumping into someone. It’s pretty much impossible to dodge someone in there. We’re not talking gigantic movie Swiss bank vaults, nor even medium-sized safe deposit box rooms (you might be able to get away with something there. It’s been a long time, but I’d estimate that the walkable floor space in the vault was at max like 5’ x 8’, or maybe down to 4’ x 6’. And I was in a large bank, not your small 4-teller window branch.

Just remember to keep a knife handy in case you encounter any lactose-intolerant disgraced athletes.

Why not, just think of the sponsorship deals you’d get with French yoghurt manufacturers.
