Super Poll

To answer Phil's request, here's a super poll.

If I had to choose from that list, I'd go with Wolverine-like healing powers.

Though, my top choice for powers would be Photosynthesis. OK, so I couldn't fight crime, but I'd just step outside and be full-up! Plus, I'd wisely invest the savings on my food bill in dividene-paying stocks and interest-bearing bonds, so pretty soon I'd be as rich as Iron Man...I mean, Tony Stark.

I guess mind control would be my choice. You could convince cashiers that you already paid them, and manipulate rich folks to buy you stuff.

I really want telekenesis. The rush hour commute on I-35 would be so much easier when you can casually fling cars aside. And anyone who cuts me off would find themselves being lifted about a mile into the air, then dropped in a random field.

It's a toss-up between flight and wolverine healing powers. Decisions, decisions.

You work your life away and what do they give?

Hmmm... fly sounds nice, but I'd probably get sucked into the roof of... I mean the engine of a jet.

Actually, I'd go with one not on this list. Telekinesis.

Yeah, I want to be able to pick up a car with my mind and throw it into the middle of Tea Party rallies.

On second thought, I'd rather take another power that's not on the list - Whatever Dr. Manhattan had. I know hw had matter manipulation, teleportation, and possible clairvoyance, but I think they were all part of a bigger package that was a result of the accident that gave him his powers. Then I could work for the government and make people explode at will.

in the simplest terms, i'd say molecular/subatomic manipulation.

I want Magneto's powers, plus Ian McKellen's charisma.

I want to fly but I'm told that if I could, I'd have no friends.
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.

The silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe. A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee. She says "My body is the life; my body is the way." I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet.
