If you could live in the Tex universe and choose your own mutation what would it be?

An elephant trunk would be pretty badass, but I would prefer elephant feet. So that when I ran the earth would shake around me.

Lizzard tongue could be pretty fun, for various reasons that need not be stated :P

Outside of the obvious, I could conceal the mutation at will and strangle mine enemies whence they least expect it! Muha!

Whatever freaky thing Chelsee is supposed to have.

But we all know that's cheating. I'd like to have multiple breasts like the chick in Total Recall-- maybe more than her, actually.
Well if she has more they sure arent showing. :D

But I think I'd like to have a mutation that makes me resistant to aging.
A physical mutation eh?

Hmm I would probably like a couple of extra arms. Imagine being able to eat dinner AND play Playstation 8 at the same time!

But if I wanted to go more down the subtle road I would probably pick a set of eyes at the back of my head, which would be concealed by hair. Or perhaps a tail for balance.

I'd like to have the colour of my eyes change depending on the environment surrounding me. So if it's an overcast, wintery day, the could go a bright blue colour tinged with some yellow. On the more sunnier and brighter days, they could go dark. Trouble is, if my workplace ever impliments retinal ID as a means of accessing the building, i'd have trouble getting in.
I'd go for the ability to move physical objects with my mind.

Or, failing that, shapeshifting, like mister the Chameleon.

Joel, Fred, you guys are cheating! Physical mutation!!! Not X-Men mutation!

Okay, I'll play by your rules then... I want the ability to zip between locations, like Hiro in Heroes... but I don't want time travel as well... too messy!

Well mine kind of is a physical mutation if it's controlled by my autonomic nervous system which occurs without my control.
Choosing a super power is laaaaame Fred.

Chameleon, definitely. Think about the possibilities.

If this is not a mutation, then I would like to have some "defect" in the brain that could make me unique (not necessarily a positive one), and not care what anybody thought :D
Sigh... If it'll let me play in your sandbox without ruining the fun for everyone, I'll retract my statement (but not my wish!) to gain the power to move physical objects with my mind...

Shapeshifting is still legal however. If it happened in a Tex-game, it's canon!

Buuut, if I have to choose some kinda deformity of physicalness, I'd go with four arms. Useful, if I could manage them. If they'd wag like tails, I think I'd go with the two standard arms and have twelve fingers instead. Useful for typing. Then I could reach the numeric keypad without losing the 6- Y-, H- and N-keys :P

I would be a typing god.

Or, y'know. A third eye, right smack dab in the middle of the forehead is also good.

That would be awesome. You could do so many things with that ability, so I agree; it would be the coolest.

I agree that it would be the coolest and would be my first choice, but is it really a mutilation? I saw shape-changing more as an enhanced ability that's within the control of the person who holds the power. By interpretation of a multilation was a part of the body that somebody has been deprived of either as a result of genetics or injury. Shape shifting sounds more like something from Heros.
