If you could be any kind of superhero, who would you be? What kind(s) of powers would you have?

I'd be me, but I'd have the ability to read minds. That would be the best superpower in the world. I'd also like to have the ability to turn the power on and off, so that if I weren't in the mood to hear what people were thinking, I wouldn't have to. I also wouldn't mind being able to communicate with the dead, like John Edward. But the mind reading thing would be way better, for selfish reasons.

Now that Mr. Balogh is back from Japan, is he going to be posting to this again also? Because before, it was just you, me, him and Jamie.

I would be Superman. I would love to be able to fly, have X-ray vision, and ultra-sonic hearing. Superman's cool becasue he has all these superhuman abilities, yet he's grounded and humble about them. Clark Kent is all kinds of cute with his shyness and crush on Lois Lane. He's just a man in a funny red sheet, kids.

Something I wish I didn't have is the ability to sense dead people. I'm afraid of dead people and I don't want them talking to me, nor do I want to see them.

One would think that I would choose Flash Gordon as my answer to this question, desho? The name's catchy but he's really not all that super, I think. I'd want to be something like a mix of Superman, Spiderman, and the Flash. Being able to walk through walls and become invisible would be kinda handy too. If I couldn't fly for some reason, I'd definately want an invisible jet like Wonderwoman has so that people could see me go sailing across the sky in a seated position-I think that would strike some sort of excitment into the general public, if not at least make them laugh a bit. I can't picture myself with a cape though--having said that, I guess the same could go for the 'ideal life' entry as well. If I were to have the form fitting superhero outfit that most others wear, I'd probably also have to aquire one more super-human trait: courage to run around in really tight pants in front of large groups of people. Wouldn't have a yell or a slogan, that's just making the job too stressful in my book.

I agree, Flash Gordon really isn't all the spectacular. The idea of you flying around in a seated position made me chuckle though. When I was younger, I had a full out Wonder Woman costume, complete with golden lasso. A couple years later, I was She-Ra. Maybe this Halloween I'll dress up as an action figure once again. The Blob?

If i could have any superpower, I'd want to be a shapeshifter. My normal form would be basically like I look like now, but with pointy ears and a sword. I could also use ANY power i wanted at will, but normally i would use an ice/fire/thunder combo.
