If you could have one super power what would it be and why would you want it?
I love this question. In fact, one of my favorite television shows is Heroes in which all of the abilities are incredibly interesting. However, if I had to choose, it would be between telepathy and the ability to manipulate space/time. Telepathy would probably be the most useful in day to day life, yet also the most overbearing. I suppose it would depend on the nature of the telepathy — would to be able to shut out thoughts when I didn’t want them? It has many practical applications: police work/interrogation, private investigating, etc. As far as space/time manipulation, this ability, in the long term, would be the most useful. I could stop any event in time and even change it for the better. Or the worse. I could visit the past or the future. Think of all the possibilities!
