If you could have any superpower....

What would it be?

Mine would be shapeshifting for sure. The possibilities! You could be anything/anyone. Be a bird and fly, be a shark and live in the water.

I haven't spent any time thinking about this at all.

I'd like to be able to soar above the world, swooping in and out like a bird.

Titterofwit · 23/11/2021 19:00

Teleporting. I hate all of the faff of travel. Waiting ,rushing,waiting in line, rushing again.
To be where you want to be in an instant - perfect.

EllaVaNight · 23/11/2021 19:02

Teleporting would be a game changer! No more rushing around or being stuck in traffic jams!

Invisibility all day long!!!!

Just imagine the things you could get up to Grin

MysticCT · 23/11/2021 19:07

Invisiblity, there's loads of places you could go to and spy on people.

EllaVaNight · 23/11/2021 19:08

Ohh the conversations I'd listen in on whilst being shapeshifted into a toaster Grin

Cultivating money trees

Pausing time.

GreenNewDealNow · 23/11/2021 19:10

To genuinely enjoy housework.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 23/11/2021 19:12

Teleporting too

Hate the faff of travel (especially flying) but love to see far off/ different places

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 23/11/2021 19:12

Would be so environmentally friendly too if we all had this!

Numnumcookie · 23/11/2021 19:13

Shapeshifting definitely, and I have thought about it.

Would definitely use it for nefarious purposes though.
Rob a bank as someone you don't like. Get the money and revenge in one go.
Find out any information you need by shape shifting into the relevant person (passwords, codes, insider trading etc...)
Shapeshift into a thinner version of yourself, eat whatever you like....

XenoBitch · 23/11/2021 19:15

Definitely shapeshifting... but make sure that regardless of the form you take, that you make sure you retain your human mind. Otherwise you could shapeshift into a cat and then just get stuck as one.

I'd like the power to heal someone close to me who has a life-limiting illness.

If I couldn't have that superpower, I'd like the ability to know the lottery numbers in advance.

Squirrelblanket · 23/11/2021 19:20

I'd love to be able sleep at will. Grin

Nesbo · 23/11/2021 19:20

Teleporting.

Couldn’t do flying. With my luck I’d hit a pigeon at full speed and we’d both die in an explosion of guano and feathers.

With flying you also need invulnerability. And really warm clothes.

EllaVaNight · 23/11/2021 19:21

Numnumcookie Yes I would definitely go on crime sprees as evil people!

@Ubiquery

Pausing time.

Me too.

Like Bernard's Watch.

MrsDThomas · 23/11/2021 19:38

I would like to read peoples minds.

Joolsin · 23/11/2021 19:43

My good superpower would be time travelling. My evil super power would be turning people who annoy me into puddles of water - a generously painless end, I think!! 😈

Ubiquery · 23/11/2021 20:15

Like Bernard's Watch.

I rushed off to google. Turned out not to be the novel I was picturing! Grin

HoseMeDownWithHolyWater · 23/11/2021 20:19

My hands would turn into whatever I needed.

Scissors.
Key.
Tweezers.

Etc.

EllaVaNight · 23/11/2021 20:21

Like Bernard's Watch. Thank you for reminding me of that absolute gem!

There was a show in the 90s about a teenager who could freeze time by touching her fingers together. It was American so maybe no one knows it, but I've always wanted that to be my superpower! She could still move around as normal but everyone and everything g else stayed frozen...
