What magical or special power would you want to have if you could only have one? Why would you choose that one? What would you do with that power? Most powers have a plus and a minus, what would be the good aspect of the power and what would be something you would have to look out for? Would your power get stronger over time?

i would certainly choose eternal youth and regeneration which will lead to invincibility......think how cool it will be to be alive for eternity watching the rise and demise o many great nations,civilizations, technology etc etc.....another cool power i would like to have will be time travel and the ability to heal myself and others..........

I would like the power to alleviate chronic pain in myself and others. Having lived with it as long as I have, I'm da*ned tired of it, and I would want to wipe it off the face of the earth. This wouldn't be ALL pain, because pain is a necessary tool to tell people that something is wrong with them. I wouldn't want to have to travel around to do it, that would be a negative for me... I would like to be able to hang out at the airport one day a week and shake hands, and start a chain reaction that passes from person to person. That should cover the planet in relatively short order!

Yes, pain to let us know something is wrong is one thing, but shear torture, chronic pain, I would want that gone from the earth, too. Take care

psh... that's easy... what can invisibility do but lead to criminal activity? what can super strength get you? what can xray vision really accomplish? And what goo will flyin do to get you by in life?
If i had to choose one cool ability, it would be the "midas touch" I could turn anything i wanted into gold on command. I could solve many world problem with the touch of a finger. I and my family could be set for life, everyone could be set for life.
If i wanted to be invisible id be able to by one of the experimental "cameleon cloaks" i was reading about. If i needed something super heavy lifted i would buy ten super strong people to lift it for me. If i wanted to see whats on the other side of a wall... Id by a wrecking ball and remove it!. If i wanted to fly I'd buy a plane.
If i wanted to fight criminals... I'd make them worth there weight in gold... at least they would be doing something productive for society then!
The only draw back i could forsee is greed of others. Maybe my family would be kidnapped and i would be forced to make gold for there safty???
Still... would be cool to have that touch.

Hi Writersedge, I think that my life will get easier if I were able to fly :) I have always had this dream that I am flying like a bird, on my own in the sky, while seeing others like me, flying around :) no joking, really.
Becomming invisible will be my 2nd best choice. This one will be very handy in certain situations when you prefer not to be seen by someone, or you'd rather avoid the encounter with people that are going to take of your time :)
