Subject: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Written By: Neo Matrix on 04/21/04 at 3:59 pm

And why?
I'd have Wolverine's super-healing power. Then I could do everything I've ever wanted/needed to do with no fear!

You wouldn't have Neo's power?

I would like Spider-man's power cuz it looks like fun to swing through the air like that.

I'd love to be able to teleport from one place to another (either statically or through some kind of funky 4-dimensional machine) to wherever I would wish to go.

And I think I have a fair idea of where that is. ;D

Teleportation - without the fear of getting fat due to lack of excercise.  :)

That is a bit much, but how about the power to take on a single power at any given time? That would be interesting.

Flying through the air with the power of flight, then making a crater where your enemy was with the power of leaden invunerability :)

I would like to be able to read minds. That way, I'd be able to tell what people were thinking without having to go through all that analysing body language stuff.

  Is hind-sight a superpower?  No I don't mean seeing behind myself. I mean to say instantly knowing if i made the right decision or not.  I guess that would be one vote for seeing the future.  Not too far ahead. Maybe just a day or two. maybe a week?

If you follow a religion of any kind (theistic or not), you'll know what the right thing to do is. If not, you still won't feel guilty if you make the right choices. But you're right, it would be good to know at the time. :)

i want to have the power to induce Karma on people. Like five minutes after a rapist commits his act, I would like to tap with my finger and make him feel every ounce of pain that he caused without me personally harming him.
Think of how empty jails would be.

I've thought about mind reading, but it could be dangerous.  Sometimes you don't really want to know what people are thinking.

I think I'd go with teleportation, then I could visit my kids and friends in Texas anytime I wanted to.

I think I would really like the ability to heal. I'm not talking about using meds/surgery and all the modern medicine. I'm talking just laying my hands on someone and whatever ails them will be gone.

Besides the obvious.... (i.e. the ability to travel through time!) :D

I'm gonna have to go with invisibility too - of course I wouldn't use it that much, but sometimes it's nice to know what people really think of you, LOL!

Flying is a good one as well - not only would it be way more direct (and probably less tiring!) than walking, but much more fun too. :)

You have superpowers for a good reason, but to go around abusing them is not the right done thing.

I would like to have Mystique's power, the ablity to morph into anyone. Why?

I'd morph into George Bush and immediately go and partake in some "recreational" smoking with my friends ORI'd make myself look all disheveled and dirty and then go in a press conference and proclaim myself the abandoned Twin son of George Bush Sr. I'll say that they sold me to a traveling circus when I was 5.
I'd morph into the most conservative homphobic politician I could find, dress in drag and parade around CNN headquarters.
I'd morph into my Dad just to freak him out

The possibilities are endless....... ;D

I thought about this for a while... but then, do you really want to make everyone your puppet? I know it might make things easy, but how often would you really use it? If you use it too much, life just would get... I don't know, boring. At least I think.
