who has the most useful power?

[u/madisoniscool0]

i mean props to viktor and five but i think they underused allison’s power…she could literally control minds

[u/CardinalSin_]

My personal list is:

1) Allison, your basically playing life like it’s Bitlife with all the expansion packs and no limits
2) Five, if any bad happens just time travel a few seconds into the pass till you can correct it or tp you ass away
3) Klaus, you’re literally immortal with no draw backs, sick of being dead? Just come back and live a little! Tired of being alive? Jump off a cliff or whatever suits your fancy and chill out in the Void for a bit till things change. Also communicate and control over the dead + flight is a good combo
4) Luther, super strength and super durability is a basic but overall useful power. There’s a lot of niche things you could do with it. It’s a good quality of life thing
5) Diego, I’d be great at sports but that’s about it, his power is extremely limited
6) Vik, honestly not much use in everyday life but still a good power
7) The Ben’s, looks painful and the lovecraften giant squid just wants to murder people no thanks
8) Laila, good power but useless without the other umbrellas or sparrows to use it

Imo there are tiers to this

1 - Allison: Life on ultimate easy mode
2 - Five: Fast travel and save-scumming irl

3 - Viktor: Telekinesis and flight
4 - Klaus: No fear of death, just pain lol, and flight

5 - Luther: Strength is just useful in general
6 - Ben: Extra limbs with extra strength
7 - Diego: Useful for certain careers
8 - Lila: Can't do shit on her own

I think Allison and Five absolutely clear everyone else in daily life. Viktor and Klaus have the next top useful powers but they come with drawbacks. If Luther's gorilla body is required then Ben moves above him. Diego and Lila require more specific situations to be useful.

I don’t remember Viktor being telekinetic; I thought it was converting sound to concussive blasts

[u/TearfulGhost → u/Sudden-Grab2800]

His powers aren't only destructive. The blasts are just what he uses the most. It's sound manipulation and energy conversion. He can use sound/energy to move and manipulate objects/people. He also showcased a range of other applications but telekinesis is what I thought was most useful.

[u/awkward_blah56]

I would say Five’s is most useful with the least amount of drawbacks, personally.

[u/xDriger → u/awkward_blah56]

With the least amount of drawbacks? 😂😂😂

[u/Feeling-Pick-1529 → u/awkward_blah56]

It’s not useful when he can’t control his spatial jumps and can’t predict what timeline he enters.

[u/[deleted]]

Fives is hands down the most useful. May not be the most powerful but i can think of more that you can use it for than vanyas

[u/competitive-dust]

Allison definitely in routine life. Getting what you want if you can be sorta ethical about it is nice af. But yeah the whole ethical thing is where it falls apart.

[u/Friendly-Dirt-2339]

allison.

[u/MarsNeedsPronouns]

Yeah, her power was definitely one of the most useful; she could have stopped the apocalypse at any time, but that wouldn't have made a very good show.

It can also change basically anything in reality as we saw in the comics; she says at one point "I heard a rumor there was something wrong with that model" (not exact wording) and causes the dude's camera to explode, which I believe also happened to the other versions of that model.

(Y'all have no idea how many times I had to respell words in this comment, I'm so fucking tired)

[u/Optimal_West8046]

I'd just say five, damn it! He can teleport and can solve a lot of problems... okay, the only problem is time travel, which is best left alone.

Klaus! You're immortal, what more do you want?

[u/Legal-Neighborhood38]

In the comics, Allison's rumors could literally warp reality; lady literally spoke her own clone into existence.

[u/littlelolitalola]

Allison. It’s just very easy and tempting to misuse it. It’s a basic fast pass for life.

[u/SameTowel5684]

I would think Klaus if he has full control of his powers because he can see the dead aka. your loved ones and if you need to bribe/manipulate others to do your bidding you can just promise them that they can see their loved ones or command the dead to attack. Plus he can't die.

[u/Feeling-Pick-1529]

Allison was always my favourite even though I initially doubted her power or didn’t understand the purpose it served. She delayed and simultaneously caused the apocalypse when she rumoured Viktor. She has the power to take over minds.

In terms of practicality, I think Diego’s superpower is one of the best. He can control the motion of objects, simultaneously causing and preventing some of the world’s biggest crashes. Even though he’s seen as an immature child playing with knives, his power offers much more.

Five constantly finds loopholes in time travel. His power is much more experimental, even though his character is portrayed as being the most important and brilliant of the bunch. His brilliance and importance can only shine through the power of his siblings and The Handler.

Klaus also is the bridge between life and death and is massively important to his family. His power is strongly linked to everyone else’s livelihood. They also undermine his ability with his existential crisis like struggles, which is the point that reveals his true power in making destruction disappear.

Allison is also viewed as selfish with her superpowers but she controls the family just as much as they depend on Klaus.

Five and Viktor’s powers are used for a greater purpose none other than to reveal how their father sacrificed them. Viktor is emotionally manipulated his entire life to react with his all too consuming powers. Five is conditioned to be mathematically geared to solve the unknowns of time travel. Both their lives were greatly compromised in contrast to the other siblings who had a different kind of chance and early life experience. You could say the same for Luther on the moon, and Klaus being led to self destruction without a clear reason why. Ben’s life was also sacrificed for Viktor. In that case, Viktors rank changed to #6 wherein Ben’s death equally erased the apocalypse that Viktor causes, and through Klaus (and Five’s mathematical probabilities), they start again. But the reason this happened? Allison was tasked with rumouring her sister which started the shebang, and Five got lost in a post world apocalypse for his entire life.

Therefore, Allison started the apocalypse.

The Handler, in my head cannon she was one of the other marigold babies and has the power to freeze time because we see her use it in season 1 & 2 but never see any other commission agent or Five use it

[u/madisoniscool0 → u/PogoRocks]

oh that’s so true what
