When I was younger I wished that I could have a superpower that guaranteed I would make every single basket I shot. Oh, how the crowds would swoon. That’s when I wanted to be in the NBA. Now, I think I would settle for being able to fly.

When I was a boy at play, my superhero “alter ego” was Mr. Spleen, whose superpower was the ability to crystalize people’s mucus (thereby controlling their minds).
I’m still debating whether that legacy of my past is crass or first-class.

Definitely teleportation! Of myself because I never enjoy the “getting there”, and of things because I’m lazy!

When i was a teenager (unsaved) i figured some sort of superpower to make girls fall at my feet & do my will, would be class but i guess most puberty stricken boys wish that…(i’m not even sure if i should write this but hey).
Now I quite like Peter Petreli’s from hero’s who gathers the abilities of other superheros he has contact with. Of course this is providing there are others with powers – if not being indestructable would be cool!

I used to think it would be important that I be able to keep my superpower secret lest the government try to capture, harass, or test me. I usually tended towards invisibility for this reason.

I think flying is at the top of everyone’s list, so what is important is the number two. I think I would want telepathy, even though it’s a two edged sword.

My top choice would be telekinesis. It’s just too cool. Or the Force. Yeah, that’ll do.

If you were able to fly you could just dunk on everyone in the NBA. I would probably fly as well or the force. the force is sweet because you can move things with your mind and also control people’s minds. I choose the force because of the double-wammie.
