Sparxmind asked what superpower would you like to have. And if you can’t have your #1 most-wanted superpower, what would be your #2 and #3 wanted superpower. That’s a GREAT way of asking the question. You should leave a comment on his blog post at “Superpowers/Mutant Abilities.”
If you have a hard time thinking of superpowers, just ready wikipedia’s entry on “List of comic book superpowers.”
Here’s my comment on his post:
Here are the super powers I would like to have in order of most wantedness:
1) Light manipulation
Meaning: Ability to control, generate or absorb photons (particles of light).
Thoughts: This would come in handy for photography. If you can control light with great skill, wow, you could come up with some snappin photos.
2) Density control
Meaning: Ability to increase the natural density of an object and/or one’s self.
Thoughts: This would be neat to be able to just float. Or you can have your friends pick you up. Why walk when someone can just carry you! Couple this power with Power bestowal and you can make everyone super light.
3) Plant manipulation
Meaning: Ability to accelerate the growth of, control or animate plant life.
Thoughts: My plants die often, so it would be nice to save them. Plus, can you imagine being able to just sprout plants anywhere? I’d be planting gardens all over da place.
4) Echolocation
Meaning: Ability to determine location of items in the environment by use of reflected sound waves, whether generated by the character or ambient sound. Also known as sonar sense.
Thoughts: I would like to have this ability. It would come in handy to find lost stuff.
5) Time manipulation
Meaning: Ability to affect the flow of time, slowing, accelerating or even stopping it.
Thoughts: Crap. This is too obvious. Skip it!
6) Cold and ice manipulation
Meaning: Ability to reduce the kinetic energy of atoms and thus reduce temperature, can be used to control, generate, or absorb ice.
Thoughts: I’m always running out of ice, so this would be nice. And the ability to make snowballs in the middle of summer would be cool. Plus whenever you go to a party you can be the guy who brings the ice.

But.. what if you got really sick or something and your powers started acting up? What if you sneezed and then accidentally went back in time, froze your past self and floated him (you) off into space? Could he go backwards in time to stop you, or would he need to go forwards and make you soup?
light manipulation. that sure would be sweet. You’d become the most famous photographer in the world. If there’s one thing people need to be conscious of when using their cameras, it’s light.
somwtimes the more obvious ones are better but the unlikely ones can be the best
I still think light manipulation would be so cool.
Can I have HotGuy Manipulation? LOL Just kidding. I want to have the ability to control time and anti-time!! Why can’t I do that! why not!
Great list! #1 is my favorite, too. If I had to choose another it would be one Teleportation Time Travel with Super Human Speed Combo, please Hold the Omnipresence. starting out with a small plan: 🙂 Here in 2009 a second ago ………………………….. 🙂 I’m here in 2010 now Happy New Years Eve Eve!
Vera! Look at you time travel! wow! Oh wait. I bet you get your time travel abilities in about 36 hours. That’s when the time portal opens up. What if when 2010 comes it’s actually one big huge time portal that sucks up the earth. And it happens every year! Of course there are some people who refuse to go through the time portal, like those who wear braided belts.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that considers this to be time travel… spudart, you totally seemed against the idea yesterday (or was it monday?)!
Yes … I just shared my PLAN. I will be trying it out tonight between 11:59:50 and 12:00:05 January 1, 2010! I’m practicing (kind of nervous!) 🙂 Here in 2009 a second ago ………………………….. 🙂 I’m here in 2010 now hope I can pull this off.
I just magically gained the superpower of death-ray vision! I killed a spider by looking at it. Read how I achieved this at https://www.spudart.org/blogs/randomthoughts_comments/5148_0_3_0_C/
