You can have powers based on one animal. What's your choice?

A magical wizardy zookeeper comes to you and says you can be bitten by a radioactive ________. You get to choose what kind of radioactive animal bites you. And just like Spider-Man, you will get superpowers based on some of the traits associated with that animal.

What animal would you choose?

My choice: the mantis shrimp.

Mantis shrimps have SUPER advanced eyes. Each one of their eyes is trinocular and they can detect 12 wavelengths of color (human eyes can only detect 3). Vision like this might not give me super-dangerous powers but it would still be AMAZING. Imagine being able to see nine different colors that other humans can't even imagine.

Mantis shrimps are also basically the best punchers in the world for their size. They kill prey by punching so fast that water is forced out of the way, forming a tiny vacuum bubble, so then even if the punch misses the target the shockwave of the imploding bubble might still kill the prey.

Also, the exoskeleton on their arms is so tough that scientists have been studying its cell structure to create better body armor for troops.

So now my powers would include being able to see EVERYTHING with phenomenal depth perception and in colors others can't even comprehend, and having near-indestructible mega-punch arms that could send Superman into orbit.

What would you choose?

God... Or a Phoenix.

Ant or spider

Kangaroo. The warrior race.

A Spider, or a Bat.

Llama....

Kiler whale .

Uhm a Grizzly Bear ,ant or wolf

• Ironclad beetle: invulnerability all day
• Spider: One of the species that can walk on water, i'd walk on water and pretend to be Jesus and freak out religious people lol.
• Tiger beetle: insanely fast
• Flea: jumping powa!
• Argentine black ant: insane strength and endurance
• Rhinoceros beetle: INSANE Strength
• Dung Beetle: strongest animal on the planet

These are some of the best choices, i'd probably take the powers of an ironclad beetle or black ant.

Eagle that way i can fly anywhere i want.

Honey Badger.

Guess why :)

Pistol shrimp. Firing concussive shockwaves from my hands with temperatures comparable to the surface of the sun would be pretty dope.

I'll go with monkey, extra strong and fast with acrobatic skills, and a prehensile tail could be pretty cool

but otherwise I'd go Flea, massive jumping ability with very hard skin

Isn't bacteria the obvious choice? I could create infinite copies of myself!

It's hard for me to decide.

Dung beetle: can lift 1,141 times my body weight. I weigh 195 lbs., so I could lift a little over 111 tons.

Tiger: has night vision, enhanced hearing, enhanced olfactory sense, enhanced strength, and can run at 40 mph.

Cheetah because of big cat reflexes plus super speed.

Other than that a tiger or lion, or some type of insect.

Octopus, no contest.

Wolf: increased senses and strength. Honestly in the real world stuff like that is all thats needed. Nothing to fight crime just useful stuff for day to day living.

The deadliest and most destructive of all the animals, the human animal. My intelligence would increase, I would get more thumbs and hand dexterity, faster adaptability, faster rolls, I could create things faster, which means I could just use technology to emulate other animals powers, I could jump and do kung fu better, and you know, junk like that. I could walk so upright that I could walk vertically and uh fly… to the Moon. Ever see a tiger, octopus, wolf, shrimp, Phoenix, Honey Badger, get to the Moon? Exactly. I would want to be bitten by a radioactive human, and chances are the Magical Wizardly Zookeeper is or was a human, hell, maybe he took the same deal and thats how he turned into a Magical Wizard Zookeeper, he choose the powers based of humans and got magic wizard powers. Boom. Now I have magic wizard uh zoo keeping powers.

@sc: Freedom, don't forget about Contagious Freedom.

@rouflex said:

Exactly, I am the most free animal. I will destroy all other animals with my super freedom. Oh and guns too? Only one animal has mastered the mastery of guns, and its not pigs or giraffe, its humans. Now I have super gun powers. Can shoot guns that shoot guns that bullets are gun shaped.

@sc: Good. Since i've been bitten by a Godly Phoenix, i'll dettach your freedom from our magnificiance *Shine in your face and win*. All Hail Rouflex!

Slug

@mrnoital: That is definitely a human man inside a monkey costume my friend. Or maybe a woman human. Or potentially, two small human childes, working in unison.

@sc: keep dreaming human, you'll never see the ape(and monkey) uprising coming

Jellyfish. I'd love biological immortality.

I'd ask for the strength of a Gorilla. That way I could manhandle just about anyone.

waterbear?

A bat

Water Bear.

falcon

Does choosing a bat give me superior prepping skills?

Brilliant!

...Human: Advanced intellect, tool making.

Spider-Man is pretty beastly, so a spider. Or a tiger.

Wolf.

Mongoose, no question. Some of the best reflexes and agility in the animal kingdom as well as resistance/immunity to poisons.

a spider

Maybe an ant. I remember that I was watching Geographic Channel, and there was a program where ants was the main topic. The expert made a mention of ants being able to lift objects that weighs 200 times more than their own body. I'd be able to lift 15 tons, if I'm still not retarded when it comes to math. lol

Pigeon.

"I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter dancing through the fire

'cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar "

Jesus Lizard? So I could run in water.

Eagle

The Tardigrade aka Water Bear

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

Summary of Powers:

• Provided it has suffecient nutrients, Water Bears are effectively biologically immortal.
• Capable of suriving for 10 years without food or water, and the second either is reintroduced, it carries on as if nothing was wrong
• Can survive being heated to 150 degrees celcius (an equvilent scale for humans would be around 15 000 degrees c)
• Can survive forever at -200 celcius
• Can survive at -272 degrees celcius (one degree above absolute zero) for a period of 15 minutes
• Can withstand atmospheric pressures of at least 6000 atmospheres (6x greater then the pressure of the Marinaris trench)
• Can survive radiation levels 1000 times greater than almost every other animal. A radiation dose of 5000gy, instantly lethal to humans, is shrugged off
• Have chembiosis abilities, effectively altering it's internal chemistry to survive toxic environments
• Are the only known animal to survive in outerspace. A few were put into high earth orbit, completely exposed to the vacume for 10 days, and were revived instantly with only water.

So basically, I couldn't die.
