I have always dreamed of having a superpower, I always thought it would be very cool to be 20 times stronger than I am right now but look exactly the same. This type of super power appealed to me for the longest time but lately I'm thinking there is a different super power I'd like more.(More on that later)
Ok, you get to pick only one superpower, what would it be? How would you use it? Why do you think that particular one is the best?
When I was younger I thought it would be great to be invisible, that way I could sneak into women's change rooms (Don't judge me). That soon changed when I was at a pool one day and accidentally walked into a female changing room and was forever scarred from the images that were burned into my brain, old wrinkly grannies, with boobs that hung to their knees after passing through the forest of grey hair that started at their navel. Totally ruined my notion that the women's change room has only beautiful supermodels and cheerleaders in it.
Imagine my dismay if I had been able to turn invisible and find that out only after I had received my superpower? The only use that being able to turn invisible would be is that nobody would see me cry myself to sleep.
Being super strong doesn't really help either, sure it would be handy in a bar fight, or a car accident, but it wouldn't really help me out unless it was for a side show in the circus. Being super strong isn't that great if someone can take you out with a bullet.
So then I thought how about being invulnerable? I could skydive without a parachute, survive an explosion, be a firefighter. I could be a firefighter right now if I wanted, and I have no desire to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, what if I accidentally fell off a boat and into the ocean? I could be stuck down there forever, not such a good super power.
So now my newest idea for the best super power is....(drumroll please).... Infinite knowledge.
If I knew how to do everything, I could make a cure for cancer, make us all immortal, make it possible for anyone to be super strong, invisible, invulnerable, telepathic, I could play some really good guitar and make all women supermodels and cheerleaders so nobody would have to go through the horrors and disappointment that I went through. (wink) I guess I'd have to make all men handsome and athletes as well for you ladies. (Even though we all are already)
What's your dream superpower?
