    I found a really interesting group of short videos which discuss if superpowers were real. Please let us know what you think. Anything to add? After wathing this one on immortality, you can click on any of the six at the end and learn more.

    Superpowers do exist. Belief in happiness does things. Logic, reason..both superhuman.

    I have an honest to goodness superpower...

    It's called "Common Sense".

    At least, it's so gorram rare anymore that it may as well BE a superpower...

    Fair enough

    But this thread is about the imagination

    And I enjoy the freedom of my imagination towards this thread

    If I could have a superpower from a comic book... I think it's a three way tie:

    Katherine Anne "Kitty" Pryde (aka Shadowcat) has the ability to "phase" out of reality, letting her walk / move through solid matter via Quantum Tunneling... and can take other things or people with her. I'd love that one... stuck in rush hour traffic? HAH! Not anymore!

    Professor X's telepathy... well... yeah, pretty obvious choice there.

    The last one is a bit less... common? Deadpool's ability to "break the fourth wall" would be phenomenal... someone unloads a full machine gun on me and punches me full of holes? I simply step to the left (out of my bullet riddled outfit) and into a new outfit, and I'm "all better". I mean... c'mon, that is some kinda badass!

    @Kittamaru
    you ain't kiddin' neither, Browncoat!

    Let's see... they forgot about smell...
    and a few other things in that video...

    I would try it in a heartbeat, but not for the reasons that most would expect...

    I would want to be the test subject for long term space exploration. And I would want to visit another solar system/galaxy/etc...
    I would also want to go back to work as an investigator and catch bad guys

    sounds mundane, true, but it is my passion. My Serenity

    ah the military based future , so typical , what future movie doesn't have the military involved , although this institution has its place

    for an individual , the journey would be Fun

    Does it have to be just ONE? or can you pick a couple?

    I think if I had a single choice, I would choose Wolverine's capabilities...
    if i could add anything else, I would choose invisibility for stealth, Cloak's ability to transport through the darkness of his cloak as well as use it to cleanse others... and Pprof. x's ability to manipulate the mind...

    there is also a lesser known hero that was locally known as Chaos... he was called many things, but he actually never claimed a name at all... he was "different"...

    I wish my superpower would be the ability to cook.
