I've always liked Superman stories. More the comics than the movies. And the result, I guess, is that it often seems like it would be easier to work one's way through the daily to-do list with a few appropriate superpowers. Or at least one.
A good friend of mine facilitates leadership boot camps for teens. She knows how to engage her audience, and sometimes asks them to respond to the role call with their favorite superpower. And what do they say? Most often they say “flying” or “invisible,” she reports. ("Good thing they're not," she adds with a smile.)
What if you could have a superpower? Which would you pick? If you google "superpowers" you'll find many possibilities. Here's a short list of everyday superpowers to start with.
| Flying | Shape shifting | Talk with animals |
| Future telling | Slow or stop time | Teleporting |
| Invisibility | Multi-lingual | Telekinesis |
| Invulnerability | Super intelligence | Time travel |
| Longevity | Super speed | Water breathing |
| Mind reading | Super strength | Weather control |
| Mind control | Super senses | X-ray vision |
My choice, at least for today, is time travel. But I'm going to give it some more thought.
