You can only have one superhero ability, what would you choose?

I've discussed this ub detail with my 11 year old ds. I would turn myself into all sorts of extinct animals and confound the world!! Dodo one week, woolly mammoth the next. Such larks.

Alicewond · 20/04/2019 04:29

@Floralhousecoat wouldn’t you worry you’d get skinned and end up in a museum?

I'd like to run very fast, do back flips and be able to leap over tall buildings - not quite spiderman or flying but faster then Usain Bolt. A sort of super-athlete/gymnast.

Floralhousecoat Some idiot big game hunter might try to make you extinct again!

Alicewond · 20/04/2019 04:42

@Someoneonlyyouknow what would you call yourself, your have to have a superhero name!

To be able to be invisible

AvengersAssemble · 20/04/2019 04:46

I would be Multivenger which is all the Avengers mixed into 1 awesome Superhero!

Alicewond · 20/04/2019 04:49

@AvengersAssemble would you use your powers for good or evil?

OP posts:
Floralhousecoat · 20/04/2019 11:22

@Alicewond, nope, I have the power to turn into anything so I turn invisible and escape once I've managed to convince the scientists and the world at large I'm not extinct after all.

@someone. I will be the most protected animal on earth, big game hunters won't get anywhere near me!!

HalfBloodPrincess · 20/04/2019 11:30

I’d have a magic voice that when I samg it would put anyone to sleep for a specified amount of time. I’d use my powers for both good (exhausted parents/insomniacs) and evil (security guard at the Bank of England/beefeaters at Tower of London)

iklboo · 20/04/2019 11:33

Multiply myself. I'd send one version to work and have a nice lie in.

Nothininmenoggin · 20/04/2019 13:43

I'd be a time traveller. Could go back in time to say / do all the things I wished I had when parents were alive. Forward in time to see what's ahead for my family and humanity, might even get to see Brexit happeningGrin

bridgetreilly · 20/04/2019 13:47

Teleportation.

This is the only right answer, btw.

AvengersAssemble · 20/04/2019 16:43

Hi @Alicewond I would use my powers for good. No point in having them if your going to be evil. 😁

KM99 · 20/04/2019 18:35

Reckon Karl Pilkington has it spot on...

Yy to teleportation (or appiration if we're talking muggles and wizards). I've always thought it would amazing to just be where I needed to be without having to travel there.

CaptainJaneway62 · 20/04/2019 19:51

I would also definitely want to be able to time travel and stay in the
80's!! Grin

MyHeadIsBursting · 20/04/2019 19:55

Another vote for teleportation 🙋🏻‍♀️ No more petrol money, traffic jams, smelly buses...

HexagonalBattenburg · 20/04/2019 20:02

DD2 wants to be the baby off the Incredibles.

Ohhellothereladyface · 20/04/2019 20:04

Invisibility cloak
ability to waggle a finger and all housework etc done
Also able to eat whatever I want and have the figure of a supermodel (or even just someone not quite so short and fat as me!)

Bobbiepin · 20/04/2019 20:09

Dh always says he would have the superpower to make everyone agree with him/can't refuse something he asks.

"Hey boss, wanna give me the week off work on full pay?" etc etc

Langrish · 20/04/2019 20:10

To stop time for everyone except me so I can spend the day doing whatever and not lose any time at all. They’d all be frozen or something.

Langrish · 20/04/2019 20:11

I wouldn’t age during all that extra time, obviously 😁

IndigoHexagon · 20/04/2019 20:12

I would have Peter petrelli’s (Heroes) power - as long as there were other superheroes in the world - he can take on the powers of other heroes once he’s been close to them.

If I was the only super, then I’d like captain America - to look super hot and not age - yes please!

Drogosnextwife · 20/04/2019 20:16

I need a few, invisibility, time travel and the one where you can go from one place to another in a split second, through walls and stuff.
Initially I would use my powers to make myself rich, then I would only use them for good.
