Writingprompt_superpower Faster than a speeding bullet; able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Or what about . . .

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's . . . you!

It's Monday, which means we've got a writing prompt for you. And today I want to know:

If you could have a super power, what would you want it to be? And what's the first thing you would do with this newfound ability?

I would so want to be able to transform into any animal. Then I could run at inhuman speed, jump far and high, plus find out what goes on in animals' minds.

I would be invisible! I would talk to my friends and they would think it was a ghost! hilarious!

What superpower would I love to have?

Well...

I think, if I could have any superpower out there, I'd probably pick the ability to manipulate and absorb energy. Then I could just touch somebody who was doing something bad and suck out all their energy.

I would love to fly! I could save cats up in the trees or just fly for fun with all the birds in the sky!

If I had a super power it would probably be to be able to be abgle to turn into anything I want to be(animalk, vampire, etc.). The first thing I would do is write a story about it. What a great story I could make out of that!!!

I was actually asked this question the first week of my online writing class two years ago. I decided that I would be able to fly, control time, and become invisible. I've actually got a story about that going; she's pretty much my alter ego.

Defy gravity!

the ability to transport things from one place to another. that way if I forgot my homework, I could make it appear at school.

I think that the best ability would be able to make no one in the world able to lie, because I think a lot of problems would be stopped if people weren't able to lie.

If I could have any super power I would choose invisisbility so I could walk through walls and go places for free and when I pick things up it'll look like its floating!

I would like to have teleportation. It would be fun to go anywhere without wait, and, on the plus side, No gas bill!

I would have flying abilities and mental power to move things!

Ta ta taaaaaaaa!(my tv show music theme ;D) Here comes imaginarytodd! Flies faster than a speeding bullet! Can move things with his mind like if there was no gravity! Can He stop the "Bad" guys? Oh wait! He might be one!

The show would be based about me, a good hero or villain... :)

But in actual life I would... Keep my powers secret.. And when something is wrong.. I go.. With special clothes :) Oh oh! Crime calls! Its time for... homework :(
