i think that the problem with super humans is controlling them look at ford no one can control him even when shep is trying to understand and talk to him ford just gets mad. if u made an entire race or army of superhumans there is probably a good chance that they would be consumed by their power and then try to take power by enslaving those that aren't super human.

Star Trek had the same problem with genetically enhanced people, i.e. Kahn.

It might not matter if your goal is to ascend. Who cares what damage is done to your body if you're going to leave it behind anyways.

Last I checked, people who ascend don't leave a body behind.

At least the ego can be understood. Ford, Khalek, Anubis, the Ori, the Ancients, when you have that much power, why should you have to listen to someone, especially if you think they're beneath you anyway. An army of Wraith enzyme hopped up soldiers, could take over a galaxy, if the enzyme not only increases physical, but also mental ability, a well hidden planet, and a plan could definitely get the job done.

Okay, I did laugh, BUT ascending is more about the mind/spirituality...

I really like the steriods analogy, Jarnin, well done!

Until they take over the world. Super-humans would think that no one deserves to be their equal, so they would squash as many people as they can. Only one problem though, arrogance kicks in and the assumption that they can take over the whole world takes over and then the whole world retaliates and decimates them. Power in numbers can be just as effective as one super-human.

Nice one. You know what I meant. They exist as energy, with no corporeal form.

so ascended beings can not really manipulate anything in the physical sense.

From what I gather, they can technically do whatever they want, but the Ancients may try to stop someone who tried this.

No more than gravity can manipulate things with mass and electromagnetic fields can manipulate objects with charge or magnetism.

Lol. The Ascendeds can do anything [theory] effect the past [/theory] they just dont want to, but Daniel had it right, perhaps we need to work things out for ourselves. Some more super humans would be good, but only short term, nothing permanent.

[skritsys]

Don't ascended beings have ESP?
