I'm with teleporting too. The ultimate tourism superpower. Antarctica here I come....

I thought the thread was meaning power of a superhero when I clicked on it. Was going to say Aquaman's mental command of aquatic creatures. Thought that was very cool when I was a kid.

Flight. I still occasionally walk down the hill near where I live and think "if I just lift my foot up a bit... "

Telekinesis

You can get lots of other powers out of it, plus when you get really good and you can manipulate things on a molecular level it gets fun

Me too! It would have to come with super good reactions too so that I could run at 300 mph and not trip on something.

Funny thing is that flight seems far more useful and versatile, yet I prefer to be like the Flash.

Here's a side topic that I've actually thought about recently. Assuming you were the only one with powers you know that the government or other agency would want to study you. So how would you go about keeping your power a secret? Specifically flight or super speed.

If you just ran/flew from your house every day then someone's bound to see you leaving. Do you drive somewhere, park your car and take off from there? Even so someone will see you and id your car. I honestly don't know a good way to guarantee secrecy.

The ability to pull completed and polished original games with a finely tuned difficulty curve out of my arse

that way i could make a name for myself and make money doing something i like.

on the downside it may hinder my ability to sit down

I went through all kinds of super power fantasies when I was a kid.

The one I remember having vivid dreams about though was flight. Sometimes I was Superboy (when I was younger). The dreams would always end with the power fading away and my not being able to fly anymore. Very sad. Sometimes I was like Angel (when I was a teen) and had giant wings on my back. That was pretty cool, actually. I loved those dreams.

So not a 300 year old emo vampire lusting after an underage girl then? No. Instead of Buffy sex dreams you grew wings.

I'd get changed in the phone booth across the road. No one would ever suspect it was me.

Normally I'd say wear a pair of glasses but I already do so that would be a stupid idea.

about that goverment thing.

1. I would not let myself be studied, for the study results could be used for bad things, or give a certain country power over others (think of police officers with teleportation)

2. I would not work for the goverment, with signed contract, that states that i use my powers only for travel, and personal purposes, and for helping other people (saving people from sinking cars or something).

3. I would stay neutral.

The thing is that if a goverments are always trying to get better weapons to make themselves feel safe. I'd rather stay neutral, as not to give any goverment a power over others. They'd try to restrict my powers, or theuse of them, but if i use them for personal reasons, like going to work, or to Australia (with passports) to visit a friend, whom am i really hurting?
