Ok, so although my answer is boringly generic, it would benefit not only myself, but everyone around me!

I would LOVE to have the power to see into the future!!

Imagine, knowing in advance, which agent decides to take you on!! No more endless, rejection filled querying! And, for a small fee ($20 bucks a pop) I could reveal to you all, your destined agents!

And if my writing career went down the crapper, I could always read fortunes, from the comfort of my home!

If you could have one super power, which super power would you have?
As I am currently stranded here in South Korea, the only real superpower I can imagine at this time is the power to create cans of Diet Dr Pepper at whim. This power would allow me to consume this refreshing beverage that cannot be found ANYWHERE in Asia (so far from my vast search that has traversed the distance from my apartment to at least three corner stores). With this power, I would be able to soothe the hardships that so many people around me must be suffering from this lack. Not only do they lack it like I do right now, but they have never known the wonder that is Diet Dr Pepper, so their entire lives have been lived in such squalor that even they don't know what has been missing for so long. With this power, I would replace that longing with meaning, possibly bringing about peace and freedom to everyone across the lands, possibly even uniting the two Koreas as no two countries of the same people could co-exist with the knowledge that a barrier exists between them and Diet Dr Pepper.

Not sure that would be a good idea if you are stuck in a lift with 10 guys who have just had a competition to see who can eat the most beans.

Well, so much for my alternative plan of building a tunnel to Canada to facilitate my underground railroad of Diet Dr Pepper cargo brought in from Canada. Foiled again! And I would have succeeded if it hadn't been for those kids and their dog...oh wait, that's for another situation.

Sarbonn, there's still hope! Just make sure, while digging your tunnel to Canada, to aim for anywhere but P.E.I.!!

Ugh, you can have all of Canada's Diet Dr Pepper. DDP is all you can get at the local Sevvie for the last three months. I miss the good old 7up slurpees ...


My super power? I want to be telekenetic. And I want to be able to do those psychic flash-card things!

... ... failing that, flying would be pretty cool, too ...

I love the WonderTwins, Zan and Jan ... but I don't like their stupid monkey-thing.

Do twins count as one superhero if their powers only work when they're together? @_@





heehee ... I love how Zan's always turning into a bucket of water or a sponge or something else that's entirely useless.


Both: WonderTwins Powers .... ACTIVATE!
Jan; Form of ... a giant super-awesome fearsome tigeress!
Zan; Form of ... an icecube!
Jan; Wait, what ... an icecube? ZAN! You're moronic.
Zan; I think I'm cool. Heh, cool, get it? I'm an icecube.
Jan;


I love Zan.

I was always a big fan of Colossus from the X-Men. His whole family is interesting, come to think of it.

As for a power, I think at the moment it would be flight or super speed, or some other power I could channel into a job to make some extra money (the former and the latter both being excellent for courier service or pizza delivery).
