QUICK: What Super Power Would You Want Most?
Ready to make your own superheros? It’s easy as pie at The Hero Factory. After a few minutes spent tinkering with a faceless, lightsaber having pimp, I settled on the slightly tamer, grocery shopping, “Metalic Philanthropist” you see above.
All of which got my wondering: Which super power would you want most and why? Post you answers below. Most creative and/or interesting wins the admiration of us, your super friends. I’ve posted first to get the ball rolling, but I’m eager to see which way it goes.

I would like to retain everything I ever see or hear. Ever little piece of trivia and information. Most notably: The spelling of words. A close second, of course, would be people’s names.

I’d like to be invisible. Sometimes I think I already am.

Obviously it’d be cool if I farted gold. It might drive the price down, but so long as I could make a living farting gold, I think I’d be OK with that.

What does a metallic philanthropist do?

So long as my name started with “super” and didn’t end with “boy” (as in, I’m just the sidekick) I think I’d be OK with any power. Flight would be cool though.

The power of suggestion. Unstoppable.

I’d like to command nature at will (for good or evil, depending on my mood). I could make crops grow to feed the hungry or I could summon a bolt of lightning to strike down a Bad Guy. Here is how cool I look: http://tinyurl.com/d5m86m

X-ray vision. Being a radiologist it would save a lot of time and effort..

I’d like to have deadly accuracy. Tell me that that won’t help you when you’re in the middle of a gun fight and the only weapon you have is a pebble. Accuracy can be applied in many focuses there. Dodge the bullets, throw the stone, and knock the gun out of their hand. Accuracy is necessary for all that. I just need to be as quick as possible.

So much fun! And I love the music too.

I would like super hearing, but only the ability to hear a the click as a toaster finished making bread into so much more

I’d like to be a human Swiss army knife…pointing my fingers would take pictures…rubbing my thumb against my pointer finger would create flames…my palm would be a mirror…and I’d have some sort of internal database of all learned and book knowledge. This way I could focus on learning human nature…and look good while doing it!
