To have all the superpowers in the universe, any that I can dream up !🙂

I knew someone was gonna pull that one out lol.

And controlling the elements? That'd be pretty cool.

I'm gonna go with something classic here and say flying. Grr I hate heights but that'd be romantic for dates haha...or in reality, probably a little creepy/scary.

From an argument on Holy Taco about this subject...

Flying is stupid because any one of us can already do that. Buy a hang glider or a personal helicopter and there you have it??_ flight. The same with any kind of energy blasting. Get a gun. Super strength is dumb too. What are you going to do with it, really. Destroy a building and kill lots of people? Lift an aircraft carrier? Why? The same with wall crawling. Invisibility is only cool for perverts, and possession is much better for that anyway (possess Brad Pitt and slip it to Angelina Jolie). Mind control would get boring pretty quickly with everyone in the world being your doting yes man. And ultimately, its the same as super intelligence; you could never have any real friends. Time Control is tempting but it is WAY too much responsibility and too confusing to navigate the consequences. Super speed would be fun until you brushed against someone by mistake and the super friction ripped their arm off. Super senses are super annoying. Do you really want to smell everything? Teleportation? What if you teleport into something? Safer to open portals. Phasing through matter? For what purpose? Stealing stuff you don't need anyway? Invulnerability? Why do you need to put yourself in danger so often that you??d need this? Most powers would be useless in real life.

There are only a few useful powers: Super Health/Immortality, Circumstance Mastery/Super Luck (Knowing exactly what to do to produce any specific result), Shape Shifting (grow wings, heal wounds, escape anything, swim in like a dolphin, impersonate Brad Pitt, lots of fun), Self Duplication (Multiple Man), Super Learning/Skill Mimicry (Matrix style ) and the chief of them all??_ Super Wisdom. Everything else is useless.

I'd like to fly, I'd love that sense of freedom. Plus if anyone is irritating me I'll just take off😛

teleportation!

then I could sell my car and say goodbye to payments and ins. and gas and repairs and...

OMG! Snap ma brudda!

I have ALWAYS said this! Not to save petrol or insurance or anything like that... but simply cuz I'm too lazy to travel! Especially when I'm hungover and I'm at the other end of the city and I just wanna go home!

I wonder if you have to know the actual address to teleport there.
