If you could have any super power what would it be?

Asked by risingonashes (282points) October 14th, 2010

I had this discussion at work and thought I would see what everyone had to say about it. Also why would you choose that power?

Shape shifter. Even better than being invisible. Although, for sheer freedom, nothing beats flying.

The power to make people permanently feel love, compassion and passion to everyone they know and strangers. Why? Because so many ppl only show those emotions to ppl they like or “special situation”. If every body every where felt those feelings more then they do we would all be more happier and considerate to ppl rather then just when we feel like it.

The power to spread sanity to myself and others… such power is desperately needed

Speed read. As in, I want to get through both Infinite Jest & War and Peace in about 17 seconds.

Memory wipe. Erase events from people’s minds that negatively impact their day to day lives. (Child abuse, for example).

I would like to be The Human Toaster. Just press a piece of bread between my palms and make perfect toast. I would be cherished by breakfast lovers.

Bonus: I could be the TV spokesman for IHOP

To be invisible when necessary! Gosh, think of the many accomplishments…bust up drug cartels, mofia, require accountability of Congressman, etc. Oh, not to mention being an instructment to bring about World Peace!

To be able to teleport to anywhere, just like in Bewitched.

To fly. Just fly far far away from some people

I would say dominion over the elements. I think that the problem with most great villains is that they think they can control the world by controlling the population; the only real way to control the world is physically control the world.

I’ve always thought that shapeshifting would be the best.

Time manipulation (e.g. Hiro Nakamura ) would be fun. I could imagine my weekends would be longer for a start.
