If you could have anything!
Fun discussion coming up at my reading group, but my first thought (invisibility) I realised could be a bit disturbing! Might see or hear something you'd rather not! Any ideas?

Singing. I’d like to be able to sing anything I can imagine. Otherwise flight.

Omg yes. I'd love to sing

@DuesToTheDirt
I'd ask what they'd seen, what was (for example) Anne Boleyn like as a person, what has happened in my house (anything interesting??!!)
@evtheria
I love the idea of a Pratchett-esque conversation with a wall!! 🤣🤣

Mary Poppins style cleaning and tidying with a click of the fingers. Not too much to ask?

This would be AMAZING

Think we'd all love that one!

I have a superpower already, I can make it rain. I just have to go outside, preferably to do some gardening. Hmm

I often dream I can fly. It's so enjoyable and so convenient that I'm always disappointed when I wake up and can't do it anymore.

@sendismylife

You youngsters call it apparition. Those of us old enough to remember the sublime 1970s kids tv show 'The Tomorrow People' know that is a rebrand of the wonderful jaunting belt. I'd love a jaunting belt. And afaik the Tomorrow People didn't have to pass a test. Just buckle up and go.

Batman and Iron Man's superpower: being crazy rich.

For an actual superpower, spaceflight.

Duplication

Despite all the talk from the advocacy groups I've noticed that not one person so far has chosen autism as their superpower... 🤔

I think I would choose flight. Or maybe that Mary Poppins cleaning trick, for its more practical applications.

Me too. I hover and zoom around about three feet off the floor.

As long as I could have full control over the ability, it would be time travel.

As for those that are intrigued with humans having abilities:

A telepathic and kinetic connection with birds of any number

Want to overhear a conversation? Conveniently placed bird at a windowsill

Attacked? I summon a flock of crows to peck my enemies to death!

Need to tidy up? Summon my bird friends to do the job for me, like a Disney princess

Can't be bothered to go to shops? Bird delivery!

Need money? Send every bird in the country on the hunt for lost cash

This could go either way, super villian could also use these powers to steal, hero could use the birds to pick up litter, to find lost people

My DH has 3 superpowers. He can sit on the sofa, do nothing, and annoy me - all at the same time!! 🤣

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 16/08/2023 12:49

Actually, I've thought of another superpower I'd like.
