Which Superhuman Ability would you choose?

[Radrook]

Only one choice allowed.

Examples:

Teleportation?
Super speed?
Invisibility?
Power of Flight?
Ability to Morph Appearances?
Super Strength?
Ability to Control Metal?
Ability to read minds?

Any others?

I thought you were going to ask me to choose among the US, Russia and China. In which case I choose the US.

I will try to change the title to avoid the confusion. Thanks for pointing it out.

I guess I would like to know what people are thinking sometimes, although that would lead to some pretty awful discoveries.

 

[hawkdon]

reading minds then I could pick out the bad peeps....

 

[GoneFishin]

 

[IKE]

X-Ray vision.

BTW, save your money these glasses don't work as advertised.....or so I was told.

 

[Radrook]

I imagine that those with a predisposition towards crime would choose in accordance with their priorities. You know, what super power might help them to commit burglary, murder, rape, etcetera. So I Imagine that invisibility would be of high priority for those who are criminally inclined? Although government spies could use it to an advantage as well. The trouble is that the person would need to be butt naked to remain invisible unless the invisibility were induced by some kind of a cloaking device. But then it wouldn't really be an innate super power would it?

Even in common mortal powers we have a wide variation in abilities.

Some of us won't dunk that basketball, cut that cord of wood, knit that sweater, or write that novel.

Yikes! Imagine finding that preternatural figure sitting in the living room! I would leap out the window head first.

It would also constitute the violation of the human right to privacy. Although in the case of a murder and finding out who did it, that right might be justifiably wavered.

 

[hollydolly]

Invisibility without a doubt....

 

[Radrook]

Invisibility without a doubt....

Just curious. Why invisibility and not super-strength?

 

[hollydolly]

well because you can learn everything about everyone by being invisible, I could go everywhere, and listen and watch everything .... and why would I need super strength if I can make myself invisible so no one can attack me

 

[Olivia]

Invisibility for me too, especially for me as a female.

 

[Murrmurr]

Shape-shifting. I'd love to have the ability to morph into anything or anyone, from a flying insect to the governor of my state.

 

[officerripley]

Invisibility for me too, especially for me as a female.

Maybe it's where I live and my age, but elderly females already are invisible.

The superpower I'd choose is to matter.

I'm not there yet, but don't fool yourself thinking that elderly females are safe.

 

[JBR]

Play piano like Oscar Peterson.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Superman...to bend steel and jump over tall buildings.

 

[Pinky]

Ability to heal.

 

[That Lady in PA]

I would love to fly.

 

[Radrook]

Ability to heal.

Superman...to bend steel and jump over tall buildings.

So between being strong as the Hulk and being able to fly like Superman, which would you choose?

 

[Lewkat]

Invisible.

 

[Dustbunny]

I would choose to be able to read minds. Like @hawkdon , to pick out bad people and find the liars.

I am already invisible.

And I can morph. It just takes a long time to gain weight or lose weight.

@Radrook , you should have included a poll in this thread.
