Picking a character who has an exceptional and super human ability. I was thinking about picking a character who has admirable traits such as Atticus Finch, Mr. Smith, Sir Thomas More, Norma Rae, Erin Brockovich, Maximus, Karen Silkwood, and Oskar Schindler.

I'd take a day as Connie Kalitta (Heart Like A Wheel), or James Hunt (Rush), but they are real people, with bad sides and bad days.

Ever since I was a kid I wished I could be invisible at will. Like being the fly on the wall. I could be the perfect spy. I could eavesdrop anytime and that would give me a definite advantage. Especially against my enemies.

From, of course, Mary Poppins. He is multi-talented: he can sing, dance, draw, play multiple musical instruments, make a living doing whatever needs doing at the moment, and...he knows how to laugh. He's always cheerful.
