What superpower would you have? My first choice would be to read minds and my second would be to turn invisible. What about you?
The ability to assimilate everyone else’s powers. Duuuuh. (Now guess who my favorite X-man is. 🙂 )
Telepathy or telekinesis. And does turning invisible include the ability to walk through walls, etc.? That might bump it up :).
Chochma.
We take for granted that we have it, but when we make stupid decisions that change the course of our lives (and don’t know how to fix it) we realize how important chochma is, and what a super power it can seem like to someone who feels they lack it!
The ability to see the future (and change it).
Invisibility, to be able to see things (people) as they really are, not as they want us to see them. To learn from those I would otherwise be unable to learn from because of an inability to be around them.
Power of thought: to be able to convert wishful thinking (for the good) into reality
Wow! What a great exercise! I could go on…
The power of awareness.
I would be remiss if I did not cite ????? ?:?.
talking to muffins.
the ability to fly 🙂
patience!
“And does turning invisible include the ability to walk through walls, etc.?”
Then you would probably fall through the floors …
My dad used to say he had the ability to see through walls . . . as long as the curtains weren’t drawn. badum bum.
The power to cloud men’s minds.
RT
LOL! 🙂
Going back in time and changing events 😛
the ability to see the repercussion of actions. i dont mean seeing the future, just what one action will cause.
QB: Why is it cheating? 🙂 ((You got it right, by the way.) Is yours Professor X?
The ability to assimilate everyone else’s powers. Duuuuh.
Of course, that’s only useful if you know for sure that there are other super-powered people in the world. It’s not of much use if you are the only one.
Likewise, there could be issues with assimilating powers from people who can’t control their powers (Cyclops ?) or whose powers involve gross (meaning large, not necessarily disgusting) physical changes (Angel, [pre-transformation] Beast?).
(Now guess who my favorite X-man is. 🙂 )
The Mimic, from X-Men 27-29. (Yes, I read quite a few comics as a kid.) 🙂
The Wolf
Oh yeah, seeing the future is a good one!
But only in a fixed timeline. Otherwise, the future you’re viewing is only a possible future, not THE future.
My dad used to say he had the ability to see through walls
In the ’40s, the editors at DC had to come up with a reason why Clark Kent wasn’t drafted for World War II. They creatively came up with the story that Clark (accidentally ?) failed the eye test because he read the eye chart in the next room.
As long as we’re talking comic books and superheroes, I recently found an interesting blog called “The Law and the Multiverse” which discusses various legal issues that superheroes would have to contend with.
The Wolf
The power to give others perspective. I think that the lack of perspective is at the bottom of many,many of life’s pains.
to be able to see things (people) as they really are, not as they want us to see them.
I recall reading somewhere (sorry, I don’t have the source, but if anyone else has it, I’d appreciate it) that HKBH did a great chesed to us by not allowing us to be able to know what other people *really* think about you.
I’m not so certain that I’d want to change that.
The Wolf
Wolf: Yeah, I meant given that other people have superpowers. And that I could control my power and only assimilate what I wanted to (poor Rogue 🙁 ). And your memory goes waaaaay too far back for me. 🙂
QB: Jean? Or Emma Snow?
Flight, for sure.
Ok, new question.
If you could be any Harry Potter creature other than human, which would you be?
I’d be a troll.
Metamorphamagus. (Now guess my favorite HP character. 🙂 )
Lol pba you could still be one
But seriously I would be a death eater
Hermione’s cat
Hermione’s cat = Crookshanks
Crookshanks! Yeah, he’s awesome! 😀
oneofmany:
fyi, Nymphadora Tonks is a Metamorphmagus
you added an extra a
OneOfMany – +1 – I didn’t even think of a metemorphmagus lol but that would be AWESOME!!!!!! and if not, then I’d be an animagus for sure. (I don’t care if that’s cheating – technically it’s allowed! :-))
LuvMe
an animagus of…?
an animagus can only turn into one specific animal,
they cant turn into any animal at will.
so which animal would you choose?
A beetle. My family would be ashamed though, and leave me locked in my room.
Oops. But yeah, that. 🙂
LuvMe: Hee hee, let’s both cheat. 🙂
carrot.
That’s very nihilist of you, squeak.
I’d love the wisdom of Shlomo Hamelech – mainly because that one really existed.
iBump 2.0 – probably either a really cute fluffy dog or a dove (so I can fly). ooh or a dolphin, except that it would only be worth it if i lived on the water.
I wouldnt mind being the richest harry potter character!
jk rowling
or I could just copy paste it!
Hey, the mermaids in HP are cool! And sorry, Rogue totally pwns Jean. 🙂
The only reason her power isn’t better is because she can’t control it…otherwise, she would be completely invincible. They had to give her some sort of failing.
Oh, don’t even go with the hair…not a chance! And c’mon, it’s so easy to subvert to telepathy – all you have to do is wear a metal helmet. But how could you defeat a power like Rogue’s?
(Can we totally argue all night? :D)
I would want the ability to create billions of birth certificates from thin air and then to register all of them for MOIFES (Medicaid, Velfare, Food Shtemps, Section 8).
My second choice would be to be able to speak fluent Hungarian!
