...apparently some kind of super fish, with the power to...uh... breathe underwater? Change all the waters of the sea to coffee?

Clearly I need to give this more thought.

How about you? What super power would you have?

Being able to fly would be nice . . . until I flew in to a flock of geese.

X-ray vision could be fun . . . but I'd certainly get in to trouble with that one.

Running fast . . . I would wear out a lot of shoes.

Being able to bend steel . . . hey, they got machines for that.

Ability to cloud men's minds (and women's!) . . . I think they're clouded enough as it is.

Magic shield? . . . forget it.

Human touch . . . well, I'd certainly be useful at a barbecue.

Mr. Fantastic with the ability to elongated my extremities? . . . you know what I would elongated and then I'd be in trouble again.

Steel claws that come out of my fingers . . . yeah, just wait until I forget and have an itch I need to scratch.

Being invisible? . . . sometimes I think I am already.

- Able to speak and understand all the languages ever.
- Able to fly with no effort. Like lounge float, quickly, in the air.
- Able to selectively read minds.
- Able to lose weight by eating pizza.
- A villian.

I was going to go with the ability to not see Comic Sans, but I'd miss so much of the world.

I've always wanted to be able to turn invisible, but that's not all that helpful in the super-hero business. So I'll go with telekenesis. My commute would be so much easier if I could just lift those pesky cars out of the way.

... some guy with the ability to stop time for everyone but me. Catch up on paperwork, maybe a little nap. Oh, baby.

Get laundry washed, folded, and put away with the mere blink of an eye. Not very exciting, but since I'll be spending Good Friday stripping beds, it seems like a handy super power.

I also like Pyekett's power. I'd love to be able to just stop time for an hour and get a nice nap in.

Someplace else.
Oh, so many choices.

  • Teleportation. Travel would be less of a hassle and so much cheaper.
  • Telekinesis would also be handy, but I'd have to exercise greater restraint on my commute due to the inherent dangers of this power.
  • Is ninja a superpower? Because I would love to have ninja abilities. Again, more restraint would be required on my commute.
The safest superpower for me is probably teleportation then. Ooh, can I teleport through time? Can I get that please? That would be fun.
