If you could have any superpower in the world, what would it be and why?

“So any superpower would be like Nightcrawler’s ability to teleport anywhere so I don’t have to sit and be stuck in traffic or find parking at KCC.”

“Superman. Like being strong and flying to save people. (And) when you can see people (to know what they’re doing). ”

“Superpower … super agility most definitely. Like it seems benign, but you’d never trip, you’d never make yourself look stupid, you know. I feel like that’d have a lot of interesting … applications. And I’d have the coolest super costume ever. It’d be very pink, and very flashy and gaudy.”

“What is that where you snap your fingers and you appear where you want to be? (Teleportation?) Yeah, because I hate walking and I’m always late to places and it’s because of travel time. I never accommodate for those, so yeah.”

“Favorite superpower … um, well, if you were gonna choose something that wouldn’t require you to take so much responsibility for the world, I would say the ability to touch a book and to know all of its contents by heart. That’s a really good one because you can go to a library and learn every piece of information there is to know. If you’re gonna have a power, it shouldn’t be something that’s gonna make you become a hero or a villain.”
