If any animal bite could give you super powers, what animal do you want to be bitten by and which super power do you hope to get?

I want to get bitten by a capybara and get the superpower of being chill 100% of the time.

The Immortal Jellyfish, taking their transdifferentiation ability in which they can reverse aging and damage at macro and cellular levels.

A housefly so my lifespan is 2 days

Bitten by a radioactive housecat, I gain the ability to sleep deeply and comfortably in a position that by all rights looks like it should be destroying my spine

Like I'll take whatever else you wanna throw on top, night vision or claws or something, but I only really need that first thing

Bats, I want their crazy advanced immune system and interferon production. Bats are tiny mammals with a metabolism even faster than a rat/mouse due to the high energy needs of powered flight. Typically, small mammals with this fast of a metabolism will live like 2-5 years, because cell division is so rapid that after only a few years, the cells' DNA becomes too damaged to continue. However, bats have insane immune systems. They're immune (asymptomatic carriers) to nearly every virus capable of infecting them because their immune systems produce so much interferon that any damage to the DNA (eg from a virus inserting code for its own reproduction into a cell) is corrected almost immediately. This process also partially repairs damage from cell-division, meaning that bats can live up to ~40 YEARS depending on the species. If a human had that ability, it would be like living to 400 or 500 years old, and being immune to nearly every disease (between native viral immunity, and antibiotics for bacterial infections)

a cat. I would like my superpower to be that everybody treats me like a cat

A kitten, and my superpowers are gonna be huge dick and $10k/day.

Next question.

How isn't there one post mentioning Mantis shrimp for the vision and punching power. Or any gorilla for being vegan and jacked. What about a giraffe? You could taste a women's urine to know if she's ovulating. Are these not no the default answers?

Everyone seems to think the question says you get powers related to the animal that bites you, but it isn't worded that way. I'd get bit by a kitten and have the power of telekinesis, which is really multiple powers. I could fly, create forcefields, create cold or heat by moving atoms, hell, I could create all kinds of things by manipulating atoms.

An axolotl. I love swimming, less so the idea of SCUBA diving. I'd spend so many hours just chilling in the coral reefs on a sunny day. They're amphibious too so it means I could breathe just fine on land and in the water!

Bitten by bear. Super power gained: DEATH

Octopus. I would hope to get the ability to shape shift.

I'm answering in the spirit of the question, but it wasn't specified that the animal has to match the power. In that case, I'd choose basically the smallest thing that could feasibly bite me. A tardigrade for example.

I'll go with orangutan, and gain the ability to shift how my muscles are attached to my bones so I can adjust fine muscle control vs raw power.

Human, so that I can be even humaner. If I can get humaner enough I might bypass superhuman and become hyperhuman. I didn't know if that will give me 5th-dimensional awareness or make me explode, but if superpowers are involved, there's only one way to find out.

Alternatively a mountain goat so I can wall-run through downtown like it's fucking Skyrim.

Tardigrade, I'd have extreme resistance to basically all climates and can be dried up and rehydrated back to life effectively allowing me to "travel" through time by waiting in death...so my shows are all finished lol.

I'd also make a great astronaut

Edit: words

Do the superpowers have to correlate to the abilities of the animal that bites me, like Spider-Man?

Probably a grasshopper, if so. Being able to bound to basically anywhere I need to get would be nice, get some wings to course correct in the air. Or a mantis shrimp because then I really would never have to worry about losing a fight.

But if it's any animal/any superpower: mosquito/super speed

An Asian palm civet, giving me the power to crap out exclusive high-priced coffee beans.

Cow

Big tits

Dog.. I just want to be happy.

Ladybug bite.

I would like to attain their hard candy shell and ability to fly.

Dog, so that I could lick my own... belly...

I choose to get bitten by a catgirl and gain the power of not actually existing.

Wombat. The power to take square shits.

A turtle! 🐢

• Great lifespan
• Even better defensive skills
• No need to go to a dentist on the account of not needing teeth anymore
• Great software development skills due to Shell Access

Edit, almost forgot:

• Wider housing options (unless they, I dunno, fill the sewers with concrete or something)
• Possibility of martial arts training

A lizard, then a pig.

Chop off a limb. Eat bacon.

Repeat.

Free bacon forever!

yes I would like to sign up to be bitten by a human woman, ty

wait, I get a free superpower too!?

(I'll take super intelligence cuz maybe it'll cancel out my stupidity then)

Even though I'm scared of heights, being able to fly sounds fun. So maybe a bat or something?

Or maybe just a wolf so I can live out elaborate werewolf fantasies.

I would get bit by a cat because i know that's going to happen anyway. I would choose the power to import thoughts into other people.

Water bear. I want to live forever and be a cutie.

A cat so I can lick my own ass

I'll take housecat for the superpower of being an anime catboy. And having barbs in uncomfortable places.

A Sloth and have Sloth abilities.

I'd say it's a toss-up between a mongoose and a honey badger.

Ricky ticky tavvy was a fast son of a bitch.

And honey badger just don't care.

🤔

Mongoose.

fish and breathing underwater

A platypus. Because they're so wild and unique, who knows what powers that would grant.

A small spider bite, which gives me the ability to punch someone in the mouth through their TV or computer screen....It has always been one of my ideas for an online business

Dog. I could train myself to find stuff (drugs and money, for starters) with my excellent sense of smell.

I want the deep dive abilities of a Sperm Whale. Able to hold my breath for 90 minutes and survive 100+ atmospheres of pressure.

All I know that if this works intraspecies, dentists would collect all the powers of various people through incidental biting like Megaman.

A chameleon so I can get the ability to camouflage. Well as long as I don't move. Also I think I can grab the TV remote controller with my tongue. Or do insane tricks throwing food and catching it with my tongue. And well... maybe other nice things to find out with that tongue. 🔞

Ill throw wombat into the mix because I want to flip trucks dig tunnels and shit cubes.

The good: Honestly spider was a pretty solid choice, but I'll go with an eagle for the flight and government immunity

The bad: A human (no powers)

The ugly: A wolf (furry)

I'd get bitten by a gnat, and hope for mind control.

Edit: Y'all, the rules doesn't say there has to be a correlation between the animal and the super power. People out here wanting to get bitten by big dangerous animals smdh

Human/dolphin/pig i am already good in the intelligence department, but it's never too much or something like a turtle, I would live around 200 years, but would have severe motor problems. Intelligence, time and knowledge are the most important abilities imo.

A predatory bird, which would give me extra cones and rods to see more colors / spectrum as well as possibly telescopic vision.

A shark, so I can swim better and breathe underwater. Then maybe I won’t be so afraid of large bodies of water.

Octopus

Pro:

• Brain with 1 P-Core and 8 E-Cores
• Ability to actively alter my own genome
• Change color, shapes and roughness of skin
• Overload of sensory organs
• Unparalled Grip
• Insane flexibility
• Nasty Beak
• Ink Shooting
• Six Arms + Two Legs
• Air + Water Survivability
• Survives extrinction events with ease

Con:

• Easily bored
• Reduced lifespan
• Tastes good
• NSFW

Dick might fall off after sex (can regrow) :::

Edit1: Fixed Spoiler

Edit2: Fill spacecraft with water -> No Zero-G downsides, radiation shielding, can withstand extreme accelerations (Synergizes with Flexibility and Genome Modding)

A cute little kitten. Luck powers that completely bend the universe.

Cat. The power to flexibly laze on any surface, anywhere, anytime.

Electric eel. Free electricity go brr

I'd love to be bitten by some mad scientist named Francis and become immortal. A reign of absolute terror would befall this world.

:3

Least Weasel. Super powers would be a human version of the weasel war dance and boundless energy for about 4 hours per day. Weaknesses would be my ADHD and sleeping 20hrs per day.

flight, so any bird ig

Nobody has mentioned radioactive spiders? It was the first thing I thought of.

A cat so I don't have to explain why I need alone/chill time at home. It would be cool to be able to jump higher and dunk when around basketball hoops too.

I’d go with a fox bite. The cleverness and adaptability of a fox would be perfect for handling tricky challenges.

I want to get bitten by a baby red panda and gain the power to hibernate through winter.

The immortal jellyfish that can regenerate itself. (Turritopsis dohrnii medusa)

Red sea urchin. Long life and limb regeneration.

I don't want to turn back into a baby like those who chose the immortal jellyfish.

First a giraffe, for a super long neck. Then a fish for gils.

That's it I'm just curious what it would look like. Ill probably go live in a loch or something.

Turritopsis dohrnii, for their phoenixlike lifecycle.

Alpaca or Capybara. Because they're supernaturally awesome. I want that as a superpower.

I want to be bitten by a red panda so that I, too, can dopily fall off of stuff and run into things, then get right back up uninjured and keep bumbling about playfully.
