People have enough trouble driving in two dimensions, imagine how bad it would be if they could had to deal with three.

That said, I want my rocket car, jet pack, personal robot maid and everything else that the future (or maybe it was just The Jetsons) promised us we would have by now to. <Sigh> Sometimes reality is just such a let down.

I think the best super power would be to be able to read minds when you want. Not like the Mel Gibson movie where he hears every woman's thoughts all the time. You get to pick and choose when and whose mind you want to read. This allows you the ability to make the right decision and gives you an enormous amount of power. You can tell when someone is telling a lie or know a secret that someone is keeping from you. That would be my super power one that takes all the guessing away.

Can I change mine? I would want my superpower to just let me be able to anything I want to whenever I want/need to. The whole "you can achieve anything through hard work and discipline" takes too bloody long.

I know it's been rumored that when you can have whatever you want, life loses all meaning, etc., but I'd be willing to give it a go. Besides, if that turned out to be true, I could just superpower it away.

I've always wanted to be able to turn invisible. That could be rather useful. Especially when you're trying to pull a prank on a family member... teehee

The ability to stop time is the best one. Can you imagine having an eternity to plan every moment of your life? When some jerk say something rude to you, you can stop time for a whole month just to think of the greatest reply ever.

OK, so there are flashier powers like flying or indestructibility. I guess those are ok too, but really not very practical. What kind of superpowers do you wish for in your daily grind?
YEAH this is the exact super power I imagine I have, was inspired by the TV series Charmed

I want to go back to past, I want to change things that I have done really wrong.

I've had to get some cold laser treatments on my knee in recent weeks and, you'd think, that this being classified as "experimental" by my insurance company (which is probably just code for "we're not going to pay for that"), there'd be a malfunction of some sort and I'd end up super powers right? Yeah, no such luck. No bionic knee, no super cold breath, no laser sight....nothing.
What does a girl got to do to get super powers around here anyway?
*Sigh*
