Super Powers

Look! Up in the air! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s SUPERMAN! What boy or girl for that matter hasn’t day dreamed about having super powers. Faster than a speeding bullet. You could get the lawn done in a few seconds.

If you could choose any super power, what would you choose. It doesn’t have to be the ones we’ve seen in the comics or on TV or at the movies. I was asked that question by a screener for participation in a national survey. She was quite surprised with my answer.

I don’t want to be invisible, although it does have advantages, like when someone wants you to do something. Nor would I particularly want to bend steel with my bare hands. Being able to fly through the air like a bird would only be nice during rush hour. Even then you would have to deal with bugs on your goggles and between your teeth. I hate spiders so I wouldn’t be impressed with "Spiddy’s" powers. Don’t want to have Wonder Woman’s qualities, because for one thing, I would look silly in that outfit.

Have you thought what your super powers would be? I surprised the screener with this answer. If I could have one super power, it would be the ability to look inside other humans and see their true character.

I wonder what I would see?
