10 superpowers I do not want

Here are the superpowers I do NOT want (in no particular order):

Accelerated healing

I would be too tempted to harm myself by doing silly things, and that just doesn’t seem right.

Duplication

I already have a twin. We don’t need another one of us monkeys running around.

Invisibility

I would feel more lonely if i was invisible.

Superhuman reflexes (Ability to react faster than a normal human)

I would get too cocky with this.

Wallcrawling

Would be fun, but wouldn’t you have creepy sticky hands?

Omni-linguism

I don’t travel that much where this is necessary.

Cross-dimensional awareness

This would creepy me out.

Telepathy

Might be interesting, but this is an invasion of privacy. It’s like x-ray vision

Probability manipulation (Ability to alter probability, causing unlikely things to happen or likely things to not happen.)

Things happen for a reason. I don’t want to screw around with this. I’m happy to take things as they come.

Dimensional transportation (Ability to create wormholes, portation “discs” or other spatial portals for transport between two non-adjacent locations):

Sounds interesting to be able to go wherever you want. But I would kinda miss traveling. I like to read when I travel.

Probability manipulation = winning the Lottery. The idea of wining the Lottery is great and something we all dream about. However, there’s something to be said about earning your money. When money falls in your lap like that, bad things tend to follow. Just look at all those Lottery curse storiese. Alot of Lottery winners end up worse off in the long run. Though I’m sure there are Lottery winners who actually live a better life and find a way to use their winnings wisely. But I think it takes a specific kind of person to be able to manage it effectively and still find a way to value what’s truly important in life and especially what’s to come in the afterlife.

Oh, man. I would totally take the dimensional transportational super power. I’m not sure how many “dimensions” I’d really travel to, though. But it would definitely come in handy during my morning commute 🙂
