Superpowers

[ses5909]

We've all wanted some kind of power at some point or to be able to do magic! If you could have any kind of superpower, what would it be and why?

[samwoodfin]

Teleportation, for obvious reasons.

Telepathy would be cool, too, but there are just too many ethical concerns with that one.

You?

[Dan Schulz]

To be in several places at the same time.

[Megan]

Oh Oh! I would want to be able to control peoples actions and emotions by touching them (oh wait I can already do that to most men lol ;) not)! Then I would be unstoppable...:D

Big X Men Comic nerd here :D *sigh*

[BPartch]

The ability to know what the truth really is...

[ses5909]

I think mine would be to fly. The best dreams have ever been when I'm flying. I love to fly on airplanes. i'm the person that is sitting there with a HUGE grin during takeoff and landing. some of the best memories I have is when I was taking flying lessons and flying a plane by myself. Still want to get that pilot's license! So yeah, to be able to fly!

[Jelena]

I'm not sure I want any of them. Seriously.

I am scared of planes :( I am the person with my head in between my legs because my ears hurt that much on takeoff.

Aww..poor girl. I know someone like that and it really affects him for days after the flight. It's no good!

[Dan Grossman]

Shapeshifting.

Its not going to stop me from jumping on an 18 hour flight to LA and then off to party in Cabo in Feb :D:D

Omg....I just realised, I am flying from Sydney to LA......Maybe I will get LOST! And stranded with a hot Sawyer look alike *eyes glaze over*

[tater03]

I would want to be able to fly also. I just think it would be so cool to just be able to take off and fly whereever I wanted to go. And the views would be great also.

I think that if I could have any super power I would want the power to turn plain paper into money, I would then use that money to help the homeless and struggling.

[xxJoyfulxx]

I have to go with my girl on that one - I have had dreams of flying since I can remember and they are always the best! I have ALWAYS wanted to be able to fly!!!

Printing new money and giving it away wouldn't change the world the way you think it will... read an economics book, you'll figure out why :)

[doorlight]

To become the cheerleader! haha.

Srsly, I feel like wanting to have the invisible power!

Haha sure. :p

Inflation?

[jlee]

Mine would definitely be to fly. I've wanted that since I was a little kid watching Peter Pan.

Actually I know of quite a few families that are struggling just to be able to put a roof over their heads, keep the electric on and have food to eat. They aren't living extravagant by any means but by eliminating just one of those bills, say their housing expense would free up the money for them to be able to pay the electric and have food to eat with no problem. Sure some people would say that if you have more money then you would want more stuff, but that is not everyone.

[adalante]

The power to absorb people's power...think Peter Petrelli or Sylar.... :P

But if there's no power to absorb and i'm the only one in the world with a super power than i would want to be invisible..hehe

I don't think Dan was implying that by giving people money they would just spend more money, but more along the lines of how currency works. At the most basic level, the value of a dollar is more or less based on supply and demand. If you had the ability to just print more money there would be an unlimited supply which would devalue the dollar to where it wasn't worth more than the paper it was printed on.

superhero economics itt

my powers would be x-ray vision or mind control, but i'd probably get bored with both

or i'd want the reed richards thing just "centralized" :p

[HAWK]

Definitely teleportation. All these online romances are getting frustrating. ;)

[davemcnally]

I would love to be able to learn everything about any subject I wanted to in an instant....would save me a lot of reading time :)

[malique]

the ability to chow down a burger in 2 seconds.

word.

[4clubbs]

The Force! Especially the "Dark Side" things like the whole Force Lightning, choking, etc. I'd only use them just a LITTLE bit...

;)
