Night vision during the day would be horrible.


We already have the best ability bassists could ever need - Invisibility!

Yes, but only on stage. As soon as it's time to load out everyone can see you again.

Hypnosis, quite useful, you can even use it on yourself everytime you have to play songs you detest, you don't have to be there with it ; )

I would say, if I had to have a super power, it would be telekinesis over guitar amp volume knobs. Maybe teleportation with gear in tow.

How about sonic powers like Arkangel from Xmen I think it is? I could use my powers to quiet down the guitardist so I can be heard.

Super-patience!
for:

- Endless guitar solos;

- Keyboard players that play low roots on every chord;

- Drummers that rush every fill;

- Singers that arrive 5 minutes before the gig, carrying nothing, and asking if they can borrow a music stand. (Which they mostly use to store their gum on. :^D ! ! ! )

Oh yeah, and Super Patience for

- Guitarists who bury your 800 watt 4x10 and 1x15 with their 50 watt combos!

laser beam eyes. If I blink really quick I could put on a helluva lightshow, that plus I could always zap the one sloppy drunk guy who will always requests something from Skynard even when you're playing all originals.
I could also set up a few mirrors and make the stage look like it's protected by maze of laser beams.
Think of the really awesome stuff I could do if I held up two kaleidoscopes backwards. wooooooahhhh duuuuuuude, psycho-friggen-delic!!!

I could stand out front before the gig and look up through binoculars for giant spotlight effect to bring people to the show..
yessir. I am ossum
