Choose a superpower

A good question for today, for various reasons. 

I'd be fluent in every language.

What would you pick?

My superpower would be to allow people to step out of their emotions and view them objectively, thereby speeding emotional healing and healthy recovery.

I would call it "inductive empathy."

The ability to completely manipulate and travel through time

I would totally berkeley that up.  I would accidentally kill an amoeba 20,000 years ago and we would be in some post-apocalyptic zombie film.

Mine would be that I could clean my clothes by wearing them.

The power to kill a yak from 200 yards away with mind bullets.

The ability to hit the snooze button and sleep for ten more minutes without ten more minutes passing.

A high metabolism!

The ability to push my thoughts into others heads. Mind control, if you wish to call it such a thing. 

Not show someone my point of view, but make them share my point of view.

That's telekinesis Kyle.

I think being able to see into the future could be pretty helpful. Not super far. Just a couple of weeks probably.

Flight. No question.

How's that go?

"Anyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand."

I choose the USSR, because Nikita Khrushchev!

Brainwashing seems to be an accurate description.

How about the power...to move you?

WONDERBOYYYYYYYYYYY

what is the secret of your power?

Personally though I'd pick shapeshifting. Incredibly useful and also just satisfying on a personal level. Shapeshift into being attractive? Yes plz.

In reply to ProDarwin :

No, not quite. Think more cloning a harddrive. 

I'll use dubstep as an example, although admittedly with any super power I would be a super villain.

I don't like dubstep. Aside from the ridiculous noise, it gives me headaches. I would want to imprint not only my opinion that it's terrible,  but also the headaches, and associated frustration on others. 

Time travel here as well, right after I find McFly for that almanac

I would just like to fix things right the first time every time while not bleeding.

Yes.  If I could have Fix-It Felix's hammer, that would be amazing.

I've already got that one. 

Wolverine-like healing.  Actually, more like John Coffey.
