Default If you could have any superpower..

What would it be? I personally would like to have advance psionic/telekinetic abilities..ability to manipulate objects with only mental effort. For those of you who watch the show "Heroes", kind of like the telekinetic abilities Sylar has .

I want the power to seduce any woman.

Seriously though, I like working with what I have. Superpowers are like playing with cheats, not nearly as fun.

I already have that power, it's called charm and charisma. It is a developable skill.

And that was my lead in to....

Why concern yourself with impossibilities? Why waste your time?

Why not go out and figure out what powers you would like that you can develop in yourself?

In my opinion that would be a much better thing to spend your time on.

In fact it is how I made myself into what I am today.

There are so many cool powers to choose from, and one thing I love about lucid dreaming is that you can try them out So far the ability to pass through solid objects has been quite fun, but I'd really like to be able to manipulate objects with my mind.

I hate making jokes on personal development forums, because everyone is so damned encouraging.

Being able to fly would be awesome. I think hang gliding will have to suffice though. My second choice would be shape shifting, like Morph in X-MEN (the TV series) if anyone remembers him.

For me it'd either be invisibility so I could sneak around people/places (heh too much Metal Gear Solid for me...) or teleportation.

I think overall I'd like teleportation though as a power. Getting to places faster, it'd just be fun to be able to teleport around different places.

I used to want to fly, still do but being able to remote view would be my latest want and being able to use to time travel.

Being a normal person by day and ghost... by night.. ... Not really into horror movies, but I think "ghost" is cool... invisible, walk-through everything, transform, teleport (I guess), flying (of course)... and scare someone that he hates to dead... haha

oh, there are so many, (all of of them are on my New Year goals'list) but here are the few that come to my mind now:

- Invisible (by will)

- flying

- able to change chlotes as fast as Superman does

- download skills as in The Matrix

- cook like an Italian chef

I'd like to see auras too, but I don't consider that to be a super power. As someone else said about wooing women -- I think it's probably a developable skill.

I always wanted to be able to shoot glitter out of my fingertips. Safer than flying, and always sure to put a smile on my face!

As a kid I wanted to be able to telepathically talk to my cat. That would have been sweet.

Default I would take

xray vision because my eye's are so bad now. Plus that is something know one will know I have. Huge advantage and I would use it to make people rich. By going to financial institutions and lean there secrets so know one will be poor.

Cool

Eternal life would indeed be good (at least in case it included reasonable physical and mental health) - if I survive the next 1000 years, most other superpowers described here would be technologically available by then, not to mention that with my 900 years of experience, I expect to control a reasonable share of the world's total capital so that I can afford them all... *maniacal laughter*

Teleportation, for sure. I could go to the beach anytime I wanted to And I could live anywhere I wanted and see all my friends.
