The World Cup of Superpowers gets underway with Groups A–D, as some of the greatest abilities ever imagined enter the tournament.

From Flight, Teleportation and Time Travel to Super Intelligence, Super Strength, Super Speed, Mind Control, Weather Control, Invisibility, Healing Factors, Telepathy and Shape-Shifting, this opening episode is stacked with powers everyone has argued about at some point.

Some would make life easier. Some would make you unstoppable. Some would make you rich. And some would almost certainly ruin your life within a week.

As always, the criteria is loose — usefulness, fun, chaos, entertainment value and the simple question of “which one would you actually choose?” all come into play as we decide who deserves to progress.

This is where the tournament begins — and the arguments only get more ridiculous from here.
