Which Superhuman Ability would you choose?

I'd choose the ability to fly. What are you really going to do with morphing into a tree?? What good is superstrength, when you're using a remote. And it is a little too eerie to want to be invisible. At least with flight, there's no clogged highways to worry about, no school buses ahead of you, no stop lights. And flight is something you can actually use.

I am Coyote. I'd morph into a bigger-faster-higher bird than you and have me some fun.

There was a Twilight Zone episode where a guy aquired a stopwatch where he could stop time for all around him except for himself. Then he was going around stopping time and causing some chaos. I would want one of those. Except for the end where he dropped the watch during a time stop and broke it....causing all to remain stopped. I would be that idiot
 
I would choose teleportation so I could be anywhere in the universe with the snap of my fingers. This type of travel would not be without risks, so I would need to wear a spacesuit while teleporting, just in case I ended up on a distant planet with an environment that couldn't support human life. I would also teleport myself back in time, perhaps to 90 A.D., to a position 20,000 feet directly above the Colosseum and then parachute into it while it was full of spectators attending gladiatorial games. I would freefall, leaving a smoke trail so the Romans could follow my descent. When I landed, I would tell the Romans that I had been sent by the true God to inform them that He was greatly displeased with all the killing and violence in the Colosseum.

Great idea for a story!

I recall seeing a similar episode where his stoppage of time is just before nuclear bombs are about to strike the ground.

Well, if the police is chasing us or else some wild beast, then morphing into a mango tree might help us escape. No?

It has been a while but I have flown in my dreams. What a wonderful feeling!

Actually, if time travel were possible, it would be far too dangerous to go back in time because my mere presence there could set off a chain reaction that might prevent me from ever being born. In fact, when I think about it, my existence almost didn’t happen. I say this because, during the Battle of Fort Blakeley in 1865, if a United States Colored Troop soldier's aim had been just an inch more to his left—my great-great-grandfather's right—I might never have been born.

The Union soldier's shot grazed my great-great-grandfather's left hand and cheek as he was taking aim at that same enemy soldier. After the close call, the Union soldier turned to run, but my great-great-grandfather shot and killed him, then took his rifle—a weapon he described as a fine English rifle. It was probably an 1853 Enfield, which he used to kill several more Union troops before eventually surrendering.

But that chain reaction would have rendered you, as a viable, present organism, prior to nothing, and you would have been like a god, no?
What a story this is getting to be!

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?

Power of flight, it would be marvellous to soar into the air like an eagle.

As for invisibility or reading minds - absolutely not! I reckon most of us would not like to know what others in our lives really think of us.

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.

Actually, I took am now invisible - by choice. Just keeping a low profile saves an awful not of hassle.
 
Probably a topic for its own thread, but why do women think they are more "invisible" than anyone else?

It is about missing the winks and wolf whistles from your 20s? :ROFLMAO: Could it be fallout from the #MeToo and #BelieveWomen movements that lead guys to quickly avert their eyes and seldom speak first or in words of more than one syllable to any woman? The rush to judgement as "creeps?"

How much of it stems from the resulting #WalkAway movement by men? Or cat allergies? 🤪


Or is it something else entirely? Do you feel invisible to your own families as well? Do you feel like you're not getting "your due" somehow?
 
Teleportation

(I can't drive. ;)) Plus I don't like needing help in getting from here to there.

Wish granted! However and unfortunately, now you also have two large wings protruding from your back, feathers instead of hair, and a beak instead of lips. When you try to talk, you squawk! 😊
