I'm thinking, as I gear myself up for this movie, of what super power I would want, given any number of options. When I was younger, my favorite was super strength, but in a practical sense, strength can only take you so far. Machines with superhero strength (like a crane) still need support systems, like ropes and things. So I gave up on strength at a relatively early age, actually. Then, for a long time, I was in love with my own intelligence, given that I was a smart kid in school, so I actually fell in love with telekinesis -- the idea that I could use my super brain to actually move things! Well, I realized that even telekinesis only goes so far. Even telepathy only goes so far.
So, after a long, long time of deliberating I've settled on one of two options:
1. Super intelligence, to the point that I could develop new science and technologies to change the shape of the world. Engineering cold fusion, bioengineering cures for diseases, super-productive farms, the ability to travel to other galaxies, all those sorts of world-changing things.
2. Super sex. I mean, I'd wanna be the best ever at it. Just amazing, and also incredibly attractive. The ability to give anyone any number of orgasms that they could ever want, plus rock hard abs.
The second one is totally a joke. But tempting nonetheless. So, my questions are:
What power, of all the documented powers in various comic books, would you want to have if you could have it?
Furthermore, why would you want it?
What good would you do for the world with that power, assuming you would even bother doing good for the world?
Also, the poll here is a longstanding debate amongst my nerdy friends.
