If You Could Have One Super Power...

If you could have one super power, which of the above would you choose?

Which is Shapeshifting? Oh, man. If I could do the thing Mystique does in X-men, that would be pretty sweet! I'd change into older versions of people and tell them I came back from the future to warn them about something terrible that was going to happen. Then, I'd look over their shoulder, widen my eyes and yell out 'Oh, no!' and run off before I could say anything.

how about understanding females???

I chose flying. I feel mean for not choosing healing, but flying would be cool.

(Knowing me though, I'd probably get sucked up by a jet engine and cause a million dollars worth of damage.)

I want to be able to stick to walls and shoot webbing from my wrists.

But seriously, telekintesis sounds the most appealing and it has a wide range of practical and noble reasons. Though one couldn't help but consider its uses as a tool of the ever-present trixter.

I'd want to be like Kitty Pryde, probably after she became ShadowCat. She can phase, and can make herself and other things and people she touches phase also. She can also fly. She becomes ShadowCat because she gets possessed by a ninja demon thing, so she knows super awesome martial arts. I figure if I was really good at martial arts I could break dance really well and I've always wanted to be really good at break dancing. I also would like to be invisible, but I question my motives for this. Seeing as how I can't say what I'd do while invisible, I have a feeling I'm in denial of a sinister motive.

... mainly for golf balls. I would then single-handedly destroy professional golf.

I would show up with a beard and a bad haircut, wear jeans and a t-shirt and beat up gym shoes, buy my clubs from DI and get my balls by the bucket from the driving range, and shoot 18 holes-in-one every round.

I would challenge Tiger, Phil, and any other two golfers they wanted to pick to play best-ball against me for a buck a hole just so I could hoot at them when they turned me down.

I would endorse nothing and tell people that I much preferred bowling but couldn't make enough money at it, so I had to play golf, which I think is a rather simple game: hit the ball in the hole. One ball, one hole. Try one ball, ten pins if you want a challenge.

the only super power I want is for fat to burn away the second the donut hits my tongue.:D:D

Telekinesis~

That way when I have gotten comfortable on the couch and I forgot my drink in the kitchen...I don't have to get up and get it again.

how about understanding females???

What came to my mind was universal translation ability...so I could understand and communicate in any language. Not sure I'd understand women, regardless...but it comes close.

The power to read minds would be my choice!

[Moksha]

I would really like to be a peacemaker. I think that is something that is sorely needed by the world. Might even make me blessed, but not around any country that has agression or economic expansion in mind or in corporate strategy meetings. I imagine the downtrodden would appreciate me.

The only thing wrong with that is it would involve an involuntary response on the part of those becoming docile or having good will. On a smaller scale, it might make me a good marriage counselor or Little League umpire. Wouldn't it be neat to be able to do that over the internet? Imagine that power could be put to use in many environments, even calming the waves during Christmas season shopping frenzies.

I'd pick healing for practical purposes. It would save a bunch of money every month that is otherwise spent on health insurance.

But if I could pick any super power at all it would be the ability to read minds but only if I could turn the power on and off.

If we are not including the unltimate super power of the preisthood; then i will go with healing.:)

[annewandering]

Healing is the most useful but next to that would be teleportation. No way do I want to invade peoples privacy with telepathy.

Moving stuff is pretty cool but overall, besides healing it would be really nice to just tele to whereever I needed to go. Imagine the genealogy work you could do for free!

[talisyn]

You didn't put super strength on the list! That would be so cool. I had to go with flying, because that's probably the only thing that would still impress my jaded nephews

Sounds like all of you just want to be a WOMAN.

I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line

I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9

I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can

Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin like a dime

Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time

Get all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then

Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again

'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again.

If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well

If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell

If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits

If it's lovin you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits

'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come!

I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!

I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do

I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you

'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.

how about understanding females???

I'd believe in the existance of any of the other listed superpowers before I believe that it was ever a possibility for a man to understand a woman!
