WIN 20 SBD - 2 Sentence Catch 22 SuperPowers Contest # 4 (Original Contest)

verbal-d (71) in contest • 8 years ago (edited)

This is the last week for this SuperPower Theme, next week a new theme will be introduced for another fun contest.

Who doesn't love superpowers? Wouldn't you want to have one? But what if they came with a catch, a controversial aftereffect? Can you come up with a cool superpower with a major setback? I always want to keep Steemit interesting and introduce contests and engaging creative opportunities that I want to see here in our thriving, growing diverse community. I don't have much to give, but it's always important to give back, whether we have a little or a lot. So let's run, swing, fly and batmobile to it!

RULES
What kind of Catch 22 SuperPower can you describe and write within a two sentence frame? In order to be a valid entrant, please be sure to follow my other profile @peacemaker, up vote this post and resteem it and Submit your 2 sentence Catch 22 SuperPower below in the comments section for it to be a valid entry. I am making this a weekly contest, and will rotate out some different contests as well. The deadline to submit is Sunday July 16th, 2017 at 11:59pm Germany time, so anyone entering on Next Monday will not be a valid entrant. One entry per person so give it your best shot. There are no length restrictions to a sentence as long as your two sentences are grammatically structured and readable. Don't rush, take your time, and check for spelling mistakes as it might ruin my experience reading your Catch 22 SuperPower on the first time through. Winners will be announced Monday.

That should give you a more than enough time to think up something creative with an unforeseen , detrimental or even funny twist. I look forward to being entertained by your endless and limitless ideas of imaginative super capabilities.*

The winner will be announced on Monday, have fun brainstorming

Thank you for reading this post in its entirety, I hope you enjoyed it for what it's worth.

The ability to seduce anyone, the downside being the loss of one's soul. A very real and ever-present danger.

I must say verbal D is hardly fitting. Such eloquence I've seldom noted here on Steemit.

The ability to stop time for a few seconds time but you also stopped your heart for that same amount of time. There is high potential to die from a stopped heart, however you can also do a lot of cool stuff by manipulating people and things while time has stopped.

The depth of my power would unwind the very essence of time and space until which only I and The singularity exist, intertwined in the essence of the one true balance. In the moment of blissful findings and revelations, I realize that I am to weak to return with the knowledge of the One and the "self" and therefore I am no longer...

Peace,
The Last Sage

Just recalled another Superpower I suffer From!

My Catch 22 Superpower is the inability to walk past an obviously Pregnant Lady , without asking when the Baby is Due?

Problem with this Superpower is that none of them are pregnant? , and all are seriously lacking in any form of Sense of Humour!

Thank you for another hilarious entry, you are funny. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a bonafide superpower, but not being able to refrain from offending plus sized women who aren't pregnant will definitely bring some backlash! lol

Thank you for your scientifically dangerous and powerful entry, however I do not see any clear cut downfall or backfiring negative reaction for using this superpower.

The ability to see the future of anyone I touch but I can't tell it or do anything to change it. This way I get satisfaction from knowing things no one else knows but I can't prevent any loved one from getting harm nor dead.

Your kiss can cure any ailment, whether it is physical or emotional. But if you kiss someone that doesn't have any physical and currently bleeding wound then the person you love the most dies.

Thank you for your intimate healing entry, I shall add it to the most current post on the valid entry list. I would hate to find out someone I cared about died while trying to heal someone else I was worried about.

That is a great super comment bro, but for this contest your superpower must have something bad happen when you use it. For example

My superpower is the ability to speak in All languages,
but when I open my mouth to communicate, I spit flesh burning acid onto the person in front of me.

I'l probably turn that into a post :) it'll have some nice imagery

Please change your entry and edit it with a real Catch 22 Superpower like my example :)

Thanks again bro, one entry per person, you can change your entry and edit it, but you cannot give two separate entries
