.... What would it be?

I want instant heal, with a side of immortality. You know, because of the instant heal aspect. Also that it's contagious to a degree, so everyone I loved could come along for the ride. Hey, I'm designing a superpower, here. I can tweak it to my heart's content!

:)

(Spinning off of psychic & empathic earlier Q's)

What can I do next?

After watching Novas episode about Quantum Physics and Entanglement Theory....I want to teleport. I'd love to travel anywhere instantly. I'd be on a tropical beach today, and back in time for the kids bath time tonight. Beam Me Up Scotty

It would be a valuable superpower to suffer fools gladly, and while I'm in much need of it, I think that teleportation would be my chosen gift.

Or perhaps Endless Patience would be more necessary? That's one heck of a superpower!

Hey R.-

I am feeling 'melancholy' ...

So, for ME...I would like a power that tells me...that 'in the long run'...the choices I am making in the 'here and now' will be the 'best ones'.

I am not talking being able to 'see' into the future...I just wish for the strength to make hard choices...and some assurance...in the 'here and now'...that all will be for the best.

Does that even make sense?

Your idea is great. Instant Heal w/ a side of immortality.
Ditto!

My brain is dead today... too many things to do and going crazy plus I drank too much coffee!

How about also, "instant heal" but also with the ability to FIX ("heal") every darn thing that is broken! like: any appliance, car, home repair, plants, irritating Husbands, etc.
EVERYTHING!

Yeeha! That's the Superpower I'd want... like... right... now.....
I so need that!

I saw a post on FB that said: Common sense is so rare it should be a super power. So....I already have a super power b/c if I have anything at all, it is common sense - not a lick of book sense though :)

I agree with Tracyxo, I want to teleport. Or like that movie jumper, jump to places;especially when I feel really stressed. On my lunch break jump to the beach for an hour, instead of the shower, jump to a waterfall. On my days off jump back to Japan. That would be cool. I almost said fly, but I think about bugs and in my face, I would get frustrated.

I would want to be able to learn ANYTHING simply by watching it being done. I have always been fascinated by gymnastics, parkour, dancing, acrobatics, stunts, martial arts. It would be incredible to watch and then instantly be able to make my body be able to do that. Same thing with foreign languages, woodworking, quantum physics...whatever. Just read a book or watch a short instructional clip...then instant genius, ha ha. That and I would also like to eat whatever I would like without getting fat! :)

answers from Seattle on

Can I be Utopia Girl?

Like, I could go into an area of massive conflict and suddenly people would be like, oh, the cycle can end here and now, with me. And they'd feel all sorts o' love for each other and would start to work together.

Or I could hang out with a bunch of sociopathic world leaders and they'd suddenly develop empathy and compassion. Their conscience would allow them to feel remorse.

Or I'd go into an 8th grade science classroom and the students would practice cooperation and collaboration, and then they'd have all of this energy to make amazing inventions that would better civilization. Not to mention my effect on legislators and lobbyists. Good bye bureaucracy, hello greater good.

People would begin sharing with one another, and would make service a main priority. Free will would still exist, it's just that people would have greater access to the possibility and wonder inside of them already. Their Love spot, or spirit.

So in other words, my super power would be the ability to create world peace. That counts, right?

answers from San Antonio on

I, too, would want the power to heal myself. (Think Wolverine from X-men.) Why? Because then my kidneys wouldn't be hurting every day, I would always be tired, it wouldn't take everything out of me in order to have fun and do things. (Stupid kidney disease!!)

I'd also like have mind reading abilities, like Xavier from X-men. I'd love to be able to get in my kids heads, know what they're doing/thinking, then speak directly to them and tell them to knock it off! (Would have caught my son goofing off at night long before I did, instead of wondering why he was so tired all the time!)
