If you could have a "super human power" what would you want?
Edited on Wed Feb-23-05 12:05 AM by HeyManThatsCool
The ability to fly?

The ability to mind read?

The ability to shape shift?

The ability to see the future?

The ability to time travel at will?

The ability to do real magic? (cast spells etc)

The ability to stay under water for as long as you want?

The ability to mind control other people?

The ability to turn people into animals?

The ability to jump in & out of other peoples bodies?

The ability to be invisible?

The ability to throw your voice?


Which "power" would you choose and WHY.

1. I'm going with flying.
Edited on Wed Feb-23-05 12:08 AM by HeyManThatsCool
I would love to be able to fly at will.
Just think up up and away & poof! off you go.
That would be cool


Also- About 12 years ago I developed a fear of flying after a really bad plane flight. It's pretty extreme. My best friends live on the West Coast, I'm on the East Coast. Flying would kick ass

6. Shape Shifting. Hands Down.
I could turn into something that had wings and fly. I could turn into animals. I could turn into anyone and play being them for a day, or just screw up their lives.

7. Control other people...

9. Fly
Lame I know, but I have always wanted to fly. Then I wouldn't get so annoyed when stuck behind slow drivers who aren't paying attention.

11. To be anywhere on earth at will, and to be able to take someone w/ me.
Why? Because Kathy's family lives in Tennessee, mine lives in California, and we live in Maryland.

18. To point my finger at someone and make them tell the truth.
Especially when it would work pointing at the TV to make the politicians tell the truth.
I would have been working overtime before the election!

20. Time travel at will - is my choice
With that I can do more like:
- travel to the future to know what the consequences of present day decision will be.
- use knowledge of time travel to live life differently in the prsent
- use knowledge of time travel to decide how to impress on someone in the present to act differently.
There so many things that one can do with time travel that it will seem like magic, mind reading, etc.
