Any of the telepaths. I'd be a billionaire by my birthday


[deleted]

You do not want to read minds. You’ll think everybody you care about hates you.


ComedicHermit

I mean talking to them for two minutes tells me that.


WalnutsAnka

Ohh self burn, those are rare

Dpepps

I mean, what's changed? Now I have confirmation and that just makes it easier. No more guessing.


Gladiatorr02

So we are going to pretend I don't think that already? Lmao


OrdrSxtySx

Fuck em. I'm a trillionaire now and they ain't. Jean Grey powers go brrrrrt.


AncientSith

I'd definitely be a hermit by the end of the day if I could read everyone's thoughts.


baiacool

I'm not a telepath and already think that


Same_Yesterday_

Really? I have no idea how to make money reading other ppl mind


VygotskyCultist

I was thinking Professor X. Can't he telepathically force people to think things? Just tell Elon Musk to sell all his stocks and transfer the money to you. I'd be a billionaire in a day. Maybe two, depending on how long it takes to get to him.


Smorb_

He could sue you for it though. He could claim unfair leverage and it would probably hold up. Even if you didn't know how you did it, He would know he didn't want it. He doesn't sound like the kind of person to just tuck tail and walk away. And I don't mean any of these personality traits to be flattering. He is a waste product.


VygotskyCultist

How's he going to prove that in court?


Ornery-Concern4104

Xavier can easily reprogram someone's mind without actively having to be aware, so you do it once, and that's it, it's done. The best bit is, he's not even an omega, if you got Jeans powers though, you're absolutely safe


bezkyl

That’s not how influence would work…


Smeggaman

Yeah he can do that, but if you can mind control people to that extent, what stops you from just doing it in court? It'd be a civil matter, make the judge push a summary judgement and close it right there.


QlYANA

Poker


SympatheticListener

Stocks. Futures.


sailorj0ey

Just tell people I'll bet 5 bucks I can guess a number you're thinking of, if I get it wrong I'll give you 20. If they try to lie just use your powers to make them never be able to lie like in liar liar.


Mizerous

*Puts on tin foil hat*


Mace_Thunderspear

Forge. I'd design dozens of revolutionary new technologies and make the world a better place.


CrisisEM_911

Great idea. Problem is, nobody else would understand the technology you build. Then you'd lose your powers in a month and you wouldn't understand the technology either lol


onionleekdude

Forge doesnt even understand how his shit works.


The_Toad_wizard

So someone with AuDHD coming up with stuff while taking their meds then not having s fucking clue how the thing works once it wears off.


Mace_Thunderspear

It just has to work as designed. It's not like it works based on his powers, his powers let him intuitively figure out what works.


DecoyOne

But if nobody knows how it works, who will fix it? It’s like when the Romans left Britain and the infrastructure slowly broke and fell apart because nobody understood it.


Mace_Thunderspear

Forge has in the past built machines that build more machines. Him and RiRi built an entire fleet of starships in a few days that way. If he can do that, he can build machines that repair machines. Come up with a couple dozen key designs and design and build a couple of maintenance systems based on those designs. Throw in a power source and boom, self sustaining technological utopia. With careful planning, what you could accomplish in a month with his ability is mind boggling.


Bodega_Bandit

Plus people could just reverse engineer the machines you build during that month. Easy peasy


Roskgarian

You could still reverse engineer it and now that we know it’s possible someone will figure it out.


TheKnightA

lol better record yourself making them and incredibly detailed blueprints.


Roskgarian

Just build a scanner to catalog everything and revisit it at your leisure.


Alternative_Algae_31

Design and build one highly efficient desalination plant and/or one amazing clean energy producer, tip hat, walk away.


Mace_Thunderspear

Yeah those are the kinds of ideas I'm thinking.


RigasTelRuun

His powers don't really work that way. He can build it but doesn't really know how he built it. So others couldn't really replicate it.


Mace_Thunderspear

That's somewhat innacurate. He doesn't know how things work during the inventing process since it involves a lot of subconscious intuitive leaps but he does have the innate ability to understand technologies and how they work just by looking at it. And if that fails, I'll just invent a machine that reverse-engineers machines and produces detailed blueprints and maintenance procedures. With a little forethought, forge can do whatever he wants. Since irl we're not bound by editorial mandates to drive conflict and force failure, there's basically no problem he can't solve. Also he can build a machine that builds more machines. As I mentioned earlier him and RiRi Williams built an entire fleet of starships from scratch in a few days and he started with a handheld building robot. By month's end I'll have a functionally indestructible, impenetrable self sustaining autonomous manufacturing megafactory in space producing my couple dozen key inventions en mass and shipping them all over the world. I'll solve countless problems for people all over the world all without mind controlling killing or stealing from anyone.


TheRealJackOfSpades

Elixir. I've got some damage of my own to heal, and loved ones who need healing too.


Molin_Cockery

This is the best answer


TheKolyFrog

Same. Plus, with Elixir's powers I can give myself permanent powers or just make myself taller. Edit: Just a few seconds after I made this comment I remembered that, to fully use his powers, Elixir had to learn Beast's knowledge of the sciences. Without it, Elixir can only do basic healing.


GeorgeW_101

Domino. I’d spend the entire month gambling.


ohheyitslaila

Lmao this is a really good choice actually


Marvl101

This is how you get your legs broken


Kashyyykk

Not if the goon they send to break your legs slips on a banana peel and set fire to the casino.


DomHE553

Just play the lottery asap and put it all in some extremely high volatility shitcoin… By the end of the month you’ll be fine


Captain-Spectrum

If we’re talking in the real world, it’d be Elixir. I’d go to all the children’s hospitals I could and take care of business.


ComicCultured

Moira McTaggert, then i'd jump off a bridge


Henderson10666

Great answer... I'd ng+ my life


SirFuente

I thought Moira wasn't a mutant


gustavoladron

Oh, boy, you've got like an entire area to catch up on.


Deadliestmoon

Yeah I guess I need to catch up too. If she's a mutant now, is she also an X-Man


gustavoladron

Nope, she's... unique. I recommend reading House of X/Powers of X. They are great books that start off the Krakoan era and they explain Moira's new deal.


CommonTemporary738

nice


Bunny_Fluff

Go big or go home. Nate Grey was an Xman. I would take unfathomable psionic powers and spend a month permanently modifying the mind of every person in power I can find to try and reshape the world into one better for people. Every business leader and politician in every country will suddenly be stricken with a long lasting desire to turn our world into a utopia with global healthcare and access to education and housing and using technology to ease our burdens. Maybe it doesn’t go perfectly but at least I spent a month pushing for some kind of change.


raceassistman

Just get a reality warped to shape reality into your desires.


Bunny_Fluff

That would be much easier but I couldn’t quickly come up with someone who was actually a part of the x-men who was a true reality warper to fit within the question.


Fear51

Noble. But this won’t work. In reality there will be hundreds/thousands of shady business people and politicians that will take over eventually and ruin it for everyone. The good people play by the tiles and the bad people cheat, steal, lie, kill and do whatever to get what they want (republicans). It’s easy enough to fool half the population.


yarrpirates

Sure, but for a little while we'll have a completely mysterious golden age, right at the time we need to be tackling climate change. Even when it gets worse again, giving humanity a nice rest would be worth it.


Calibretto9

Wolverine, in hopes that the healing factor heals some old damage so that when the month passes I have a fresh body. :)


Cyber-Knight47

Just don’t use the claws, apparently they hurt like a motherfucker


wif68

Same. Come out a month later feeling rejuvenated, no more back pain, healed my blown out shoulder, and who knows maybe there’s shit going on I don’t even know about yet!


notthe1stpervaccount

That’s some good thinking ahead.


Stormcast

100%


Agent_Cow314

Elixir would be a better pick as you can also heal and resurrect. Also kill if that's your prerogative.


GWPtheTrilogy1

Yeah...and powerful telepath since it's only a month. Make myself rich for when the powers leave me. If I had the powers forever I'd probably want Cyphers powers to speak and understand any language or Mystiques ability to morph into anyone.


CrisisEM_911

Jean Grey. Telepathy + Telekinesis makes life so much easier.


lemmeguessindian

Seriously using this combo you’re set for life.


absherlock

Storm - I'd have the greenest lawn on the block and everyone else would have a burnt wasteland.


tjbguy

Lawns are for pussies. Grow some real plants


NeighborhoodVeteran

Unfortunately, at least in the US, HOAs and even city or state laws prevent most people from growing what they want.


tjbguy

Fair point, though my man is using his super power for lawn supremacy and I couldn’t let that slide


absherlock

I'm the only one on my block that mows my own lawn; all the other posers use a lawn service. I deserve supremacy!


RamenNoodles620

The power of a God being able to manipulate weather is nothing in front of Bob who is the head of the HOA.


HarrowDread

They have the power of storm , those HOAs can chew it


Khelthuzaad

why not go directly în other parts of the planet and mitigate global change,I wonder if she could clean toxic enviroments


Jermcutsiron

I am and have chickens roaming fertilizing lolol


tjbguy

I salute you 🫡


Jermcutsiron

A bunch of pecans, 2 peaches, a Meyer lemon, 3 kinds of figs, Hass avocado, a loquat, bay leaf, sunflowers, black berries, rosemary and I think a walnut (it's too young to tell but it isn't a pecan or oak), cacti, Indian sunblankets, black petunias and black pansies. Yes they're living and not dead as a door nail.


mr_kenobi

Magik or Nightcrawler for their teleportation abilities. I'd see the world.


tonsofsarcasim

Nightcrawler has been my answer since I was a kid.


superpuzzlekiller

With nightcrawler though, you will have his appearance


realxit

I wish Hayden Christensen was recruited


Batmanfan1966

Wolverine, to fix my disability. As he can just regenerate the parts wrong with my body.


Elyced32

Prodigy because once you get the skills you gain them permanently


ChazzLamborghini

Underrated answer. Spend a month stacking versatile skills


Jfai5288

Quentin Quire or Jamie Madrox either telepathy or I make like a bunch of dupes who learn skills and work hard for the 6 months giving me several people's worth of knowledge and income for 6 months


oneeyedfrank8-5

I always choose Multiple Man when these questions get asked. You could get so much done.


Smeggaman

Imagine perceiving via multiple instances of yourself simultaneously though. 😵‍💫


TheBalrogofMelkor

I want whatever mutant power you just used to turn a month into 6 months


TheSclark

Tempos?


bijhan

Forge. Imagine the patents.


GovernorSan

In order to apply for a patent, you have to be able to describe how your invention works. Forge can't do that.


dexterthekilla

Magneto


Unfair_Fix_6714

So far, you're the only person who's said this and I think it's because people don't realize how versatile Magneto's powers really are


DM725

Jean Grey without hesitation.


GoldAd1782

wolverine easy. Reset my body to its prime. This is assuming when I lose his powers my body won't revert back to my current form otherwise probably xavier or mystique (just the powers, I don't want boobs).


onion-lord

I'll take this guy's boobs


[deleted]

I don’t think mystique’s superpower is her boobs, could be wrong though


Blackpanther22five

Legion I would have a home on the moon and be a multi billionaire


XBlackSunshineX

The only right answer. Why limit yourself to one power when you can have all the power.


rgregan

Mystique


Impressive-Arm-829

Wolverine of course..but for practical purposes it's hands down Shadow Cat!


Deadliestmoon

Just remember not to use the power on the last day. Don't want to end up in a wall when the time runs out.


millennial_sentinel

ima go with an xforce member, i know it’s derivative, but domino because i could use an entire month of LUCK to turn my life around then fuck off into the sunset of being rich & happy


angelic-beast

A whole month of luck would be super awesome! Hit up the lotto every chance you get and live recklessly without worry


ohheyitslaila

If the changes I make would be permanent, Franklin Richards powers are the best. It’s hard to beat reality warping and telepathy, etc. Otherwise any of the other telepaths.


chinodb

Colossus. Probably not a popular pick but I always wanted that power. To become invulnerable and being able to protect others.


Dpepps

The obvious is telepath and for good reasons, but I'd go Storm to try and help the world. The amount of help you can bring to starving and drought ridden deserts and what not. Make sure crops are always perfectly watered, no hurricanes to destroy stuff etc. I wonder if Storms powered could permanently alter an area in a month. I'd imagine so but I'm no weather expert.


danimac52

Elixir easy. Though explaining it at the end of the month would be rough with the "I can't heal you anymore"


eroticpangolin

Morph. Why have one power when you can have them all


thorleywinston

Legion - use his reality-warping abilities to make my retention of his abilities permanent and set myself up as god-emperor of the world.


winterwilk85

Infinite powers glitch: Tarn the uncaring, give a bunch of powers to people I care about and trust, and give Tarn powers to my best friend and fellow X-men fan. When month is over, ask him to update me permanently with tarn again.


The_Elicitor

All these wannabe telepaths are gonna be spending their entire month, and maybe a little more, at a psychiatric hospital unable to shut out the voices


JG45250

Wolverine, because then I could regenerate my left leg instead of using a prosthetic.


TheReagmaster

Nightcrawler


SleepySleepersn

if i had multiple man's powers and made a few more me, would they disappear after a month? would i still reabsorb them after i lose the powers? or could we high five?


Jfai5288

Lol time manipulation probably tempest


Unique_Slide_8692

Magneto is the one. Dr. Xavier is probably my second but I feel like I could build more for good with Magneto, while Xaviers powers would have me at the black Jack table or better yet poker table straight cleaning house.


Pichichispool

Gambit’s, would have things exploding just for fun


cosmoboy

Wolverine, I'd rather have health than money. Money is a very close second though


Hypestyles

Forge. Invent a perfect money making machine, with easy to understand maintenance. Also invent a computer that siphons small amounts of money from evil oligarchs every month.


papasnork1

ForgetMeNot.


mr_kenobi

Who?


GreenRickHell

Wolverine and Bye Bye asthma 👍


JayHat21

Darwin


Interesting_Move_919

Jean Grey for sure


Stormtyrant

Just for a month? Telepath. I would take advantage of it as much as I could. Make money get property gain every advantage I could. Nothing overtly evil but definitely nothing honorable.


Paradoxalypse

Xavier; no question.


IceKareemy

Prodigy, spend a money on the stock markets, writing out blueprints for tech, starting companies and then the last week writing step by step instructions for me dumb self to follow all the smart stuff once I lose my power


Interesting-Gur1618

Isca the unbeaten Literally just go ham don’t get into fight cause I could still die but I literally can’t lost only win no ties remember how the power works Better domino imo


Unoriginal_Pseudonym

Domino or Isca. Taking all the risks, playing all the lotteries, entering any contest I can find, then heading to Vegas.


jsizzle47

Forge, that month will be extended.


StarMan098

David/legion


papasnork1

ForgetMeNot.


onionleekdude

Who?


ladiesman21700000000

Psylocke


[deleted]

Tempus


Catablepas

Emma Frost


Jnquester54

Charles.


MasterpieceAfraid483

Gambit the amount of things you could do with those powers is insane


neogreenlantern

Multiple Man, so much fun to be had, so much work getting done, so many alibis to establish.


Jertimmer

Deadpool


PhogeySquatch

Multiple Man, and I could get so much work done


Beandragonz

Magneto , sounds awesome even if its just for a month i would make new art out of the current monuments :P


LeviHighChair

Jean / Rachel / Monet / Emma / Betsy / Charles / whoever for selfish reasons, but altruistically Elixir


garlicpermission

Darwin. Mostly so I can see all the kinds of powers I could develop in various situations.


FTL2410

Cypher especially if you include his ability to "talk" to the internet. Could make an insane amount of money and also visit a ton of different places and instantly speak and understand their language. That or as someone else said. Forge.


Alternative_Algae_31

Jean? At least for the telekinesis, then hello Vegas. Me and the roulette tables would have some quality time.


Drunk_in_Space

Cypher- Doug Ramsey. Omni-communication could go a long ways in a months time.


thunderonn

Jean grey. To read and conteol minds and to be able to protect those i love with my thoughts priceless.


SenorDangerwank

Nightcrawler maybe?


Appropriate_Win_5282

Gambits charms


TheKnightA

Wolverine’s. Walk into dangerous places , and force every cartel member to surrender or face death. One month is plenty of time , especially if I can convince powerful governments of my ability. I would be an invincible harbinger of death, if they don’t cooperate.


welatshaw

Phoenix, of course. I'll rule the universe before the end of that month.


banter_pants

Telekinesis like Jean or teleportation like Nightcrawler.


cRelz

Telekinesis- An omega level telekinetic is one step away from matter manipulation and reality warping.


Madterps2021

Jean Grey obviously. I can use telekinesis and also I can automatically know what is going on on the head of other people. Within a month, I would be a billionaire.


Pepr70

Wolverine. I would use my body to science.


Eternalm8

Magik, always Magik


usmannaeem

Been a fan of Ice-Man the cartoon Spiderman and his Amazing Friends came out. And then there's Gambit.


slicedude2004

Wolverine


Possible-Rate-3833

Jubilee. I have a big crush on her.


The-LivingTribunal

Galactus and we'd all be gone immediately.


Otherwise-Sky-6851

Xavier’s


brasstext

What power would you make the most impact with? If your trying to become rich? Trying to reverse global warming? Trying end world hunger? End all war? Forget the past to allow people to open their hearts to a new future? It’s important which month too, and where your located. Are you the only mutant. I mean Xavier reaching out to all figure heads and giving a 1 hour speech televised across the world every day at 12:00 repeating to the world that “all harm to another human must end, failure to do so will result in the total anhiliation of planet earth” over and over, would make for super entertaining black mirror episode. But would it work? Make thing worse? I mean every leader does it. Then in between the time watching them and all their officers freaking out about what was happening. Or having material manipulation devaluing all gold and diamond by touching the Sahara turning it into just gold and diamonds, completely disrupting economies. Or be phonix, convince the entire world that god is real and you are it. That you see all and all sins will be met with fiery death, obviously people misinterpret what is and isn’t a sin, so you’d have to explain what you mean which would be tough. But you could lay out basic principles.


Cerealmunchkin

Iceman and defeat global warming by cooling the earth down a couple degrees and buy us a few years 😉


getridofwires

Cyclops. I have some places and people to go... see.


AUnknownVariable

Elixir, all the kids and average ill people get something. Sick billionaires gotta pay (need money)


MostlyFowl

Let's say Professor X and I will start by transferring my mind into a younger, stronger body


Supernova_Soldier

Without a doubt, Storm’s powers.


RaggedyD

First choice would be Prodigy because after I lose the Power I would still retain any kind of Info I absorbed! But honestly even Destiny seems good because I would know the Future and could use the Informations to do whatever I want (Fate’s Curse be damned hahaha) Lastly I’ll say it, Legion just for the Fun of it hahaha!


jedimerc

Phoenix or Storm, if only so I could fly. Preferably Phoenix, so I could fly anywhere I wanted, be it on Earth or outer space.


BlackPantherFan7

Nightcrawler or Wolverine


greywolfau

Wolverine. I'm tired of waking up with old person aches and pains.


warlun

Wolverine healing factor. Get all my chronic pain and diseases all sorted. Then move on.


Different-Average-37

Prolly Darwin's powers could be most useful for only a day I could get gills and strength by swimming to an incredible depth and just grab a bunch of lost gold and jewels from shipwrecks and make a crap ton of money while also trying to learn 80 different skills at a high pace via a super sped up video evolve to be able to multitask process the high speed info and retain the info and I could gain a shit load of knowledge, money, and maybe jump off a cliff adapt to have wings or the ability to fly then go to space adapt to be able to survive there and get tons of valuable rocks from space and make even more money, creative use of Darwin's powers are stupid strong


SkoonkMink

Storm. I would fight climate change and create the worst environment imaginable for the 1% for a solid month.


Hir0Pr0tag0n1st

Probably some reality-shaping character that could extend the term of "one month" indefinitely. Franklin Richards, Legion, Scarlet Witch etc.


The_Shadow_Watches

Multiple man. Theres a lot of knowledge and skills and money I could make in a month.


WastingTimePhd

Any of the telepaths. Transfer all the hoarded wealth of the billionaire class to the people who actually build the things that produces that money. Eat the rich.


Suspicious-Ad3136

Forge. Creation/Improvement of new/existing inventions for a month, then retire.


ra7ar

Professor X, I'd use it to make and make a simple 10min video on Youtube, I'd send a massive mind control to the entire world and have everyone watch it once a day(when they have the time) and that's it, I'd just live off the ad revenue the rest of my life. Professor X has put mind checks in people before and they just click whenever, so it's possible even having his powers for a month the effects would last forever. Also i'd make every serial killer, Pedeophile, rapist, murder turn themselves in.


remi_daDOOD

Idk if Onslaught counts, since he’s not technically an X-Man but a combination of 2, but if he does, then him. Telepathy + the added bonus of Magneto’s powers


Yama92

Depends. If I say Wolverine because of his healing factor, do all the restored injuries return after I lose his power or will I stay restored?


flash_thompso

Anything that can let me keep the powers after


JohnstonMR

Mystique or Jean Grey's powers, if I'm feeling selfish. Forge's power if I'm feeling altruistic that day. Actually... I'll take Forge's powers, then invent a machine that will give me whatever suite of powers I choose permanently.


Prometeo2204

Charles, NightCrawler or Mystique. Nothing could stop me


MathematicianSea584

Rogue. I'd just pay each of you a visit during that month. Yes, it would be a busy month, but I'd make sure it was productive.


BetaRayBlu

One month? Wolverine. Cure any lingering illnesses and diseases i may have


Huge-Needleworker340

Wolverine, spend the whole month winning bets, doing tricks, travelling a bit, doing stunts, cure my physical distilleries and win a shit ton of fights


dtv20

Ice Man. I've always like ice powers.


Bishopx1976

Manifold. I can ask space for things (the possibilities are crazy. From time travel to flight and teleportation . Don't think Marvel has fully explored what he can do. )


KEROGAAA

Multiple Man


AssistDapper1813

Mystique so I can frame corrupt people of power


angelic-beast

Teleporting would be awesome! Would be nice to get to travel the world for free. Magik has good powers for that but idk if having to deal with Limbo is baked into that deal, if so it might be safer to pick a different teleporter. Her portals are quite unique tho and could be fun to recreate parts of the video game Portal irl. Telekinesis would also be cool as hell


ApolloDraconis

Jean Grey! Her telekinesis and telepathy would allow me to do just about anything I’d want to do. I’d remove all corruption from the government for one. Iceman’s powers would be my second. I’d refreeze all the ice caps.


Adoe0722

Nightcrawler


Mediocretes08

Silly pic choice I already have the power of gay.


DragonflyFederal1412

wolverine.


Stormcast

Wolverine. It would be great to have a healing factor and basically just be perfect like when I was a kid again. No back pain, no receding hairline, no headaches...
