The best superpower for a superhero

by TR Lore

Created on: April 06, 2007   Last Updated: May 13, 2007

If you could have any supernatural power, what would it be and why? I have some difficulty with this. I over-analyze things at times, so I pull up the good and the bad. Given my pessimistic nature, I often find the downside of things that most would think are great. It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of the show Heroes. I started wondering what it would be like if I had the abilities of the characters on that show.

Okay.

Peter Petrelli absorbs the abilities of others. No thanks. I can't deal with being me half the time, so I am really not into trying to cope with other people's freaky capacities.

Isaac Mendez sees and paints the future. While seeing the future could be advantageous, I have noticed that Isaac can rarely DO anything about what is coming. It would make me even more insane than I already am, to know for a fact that something is coming and being unable to do anything about it... actually...that is a problem I already have. I see things coming all the time and stand there helpless. It's nauseating.

Niki Sanders a psycho alter-ego. I already have that. I haven't found it beneficial as of yet.

D.L. Hawkins walks thru walls. I do not feel inclined to be able to wander in to any room I want. There are too many things that I really don't want to walk in on. I'll pass on that. Besides, anywhere that I would want to get into or out of that is currently restricted is watched via video security feeds. So while walking thru walls can be handy, it doesn't mean you won't get busted for being somewhere you shouldn't. But they would have a bugger of a time keeping you in jail.

Matt Parkman hears people's thoughts. I know people aren't thrilled with me at times. I really don't want to know EXACTLY how often they would like for me to bugger off. I also don't really care too much about what other people think. It would be like being piped in to "reality" show that I hate and having to listen to it for the rest of my life. Besides, I have plenty noise in my own head. I don't need to hear anyone else's "voices". Mine are apparently schitzo and that's more than enough.

Claire Bennet- Indestructible. Not really a goal of mine physically...now if she were mentally unbreakable...

Hiro Nakamura bends time and space. No downside to this one either, except for that part where you can deeply mess things up by killing a bug in 1992 and end up with a ripple effect that wipes out most of the eastern seaboard. On the other hand, we all have things we would change in our past. I would
