- If I could choose any superpower, then it would be the power to manipulate matter (including that of mines).
- I choose to be a matter manipulator because it, cheekily enough, embodies a lot of superpowers that we have fleshed out so far. Obvious of all, it encapsulates all x-bending powers like water or earth and so on and so on because they are based on material objects on some level. It even includes that of space-time since I can change the material flow of the universe while keeping myself secure and "unchanged." So I can "go back" to a point of time once experienced and experience it again. I literally become History itself, the one that judges all by the record of history that is kept on people.
- The biggest flaw, which really isn't one for me, is that I cannot return to the point I was before "reversing material flow" without something little being changed. This isn't a problem if I want to "revert" my changes because it means that the Universe is quite full of contingencies that retroactively justify itself when they accomplish their moment in time. And the fact that there's free rein for me to screw around with space-time as I wish and not worrying about myself as technically space-time is still moving forward despite material flow is moving backwards because I can manipulate which matter goes where at any given time.
Yet, I feel there's absolutely only one real problem with this: what happens to the unmanipulated matter and what happens when other matter is occupying the space where manipulated matter is supposed to go? For this to be resolved, either I must control all possible and important (which is useful to be manipulated) matter or I simply "push" them away. Yet this problem is exactly the problem I need in order to state clearly that it doesn't matter if I "reverse space-time" because it won't effect my existence as I didn't manipulate my matter to a point of time before I could manipulate matter. The problem being the not satisfactory but correct solution to other problems I say.

Congratulations on just making the deadline again! It is an interesting idea, and even more so with the time travelling due to configuration charging!
This is a supremely powerful power that you have chosen. I wonder if you still account for all the slightly probabilistic effects at the sub atomic level (I guess this would account for things not being quite exactly the same...) also, unless you had absolute control, you could end up creating a trash heap of unintended side effects just out of your perception?
The real fault is what we cannot control, damn indeterminancy!
The winners and the new question (I've told you how to do this before...) is here:
