All of us have felt at sometime in our lives the desire to have any number of amazing superpowers to help us in difficult or stressful situations
From our time as a children, when we read about comic-book superheroes who could do virtually anything, who hasn’t had a secret wish to possess at least one of their qualities?
Now that Hollywood and the video games industry has discovered that superheroes means super box-office takings and big sales, we see them performing a series of ever growing impossible tasks which they handle with such ease.
Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine or Captain America, the list is now almost endless as newer heroes are created almost weekly. And, today, not all superheroes are male. We now also have Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and a host of others.
There’s just something fascinating about superheroes that captures the imaginations of young and old alike. It’s fun to think about how different life would be if we could develop amazing superpowers of our own
So our Life Daily team set about the task of identifying 10 of the most amazing superpowers which we thought would have the most general appeal.
If you cast your eyes down our list you can make a mental choice about which of the powers you’d really like to possess:
1. Superhuman Strength
Just think, if only you had superhuman strength, you’d have no problem opening stubborn jars and bottles, lifting cars, breaking tiles, or performing a myriad of other astounding activities without even trying. Being as powerful as the Incredible Hulk has its benefits – so long as you don’t ever get really angry and turn green.
2. Omnilinguilism
A strange word indeed but Omnilinguism is the ability to understand any form of language. You would never have to worry about a language barrier as you traveled around the world, if you had this superpower.
3. Precognition
Precognition is the ability to predict the future. With this power, you would be the first to sense danger and save yourself and those you care about.
4. Flying
To be able to fly like Superman is the power every little kid dreams of having, Imagine a world with no traffic jams, where you could travel anywhere on a whim and see the world from a bird’s eye view.
5. Mind Control
If only you could have the power of mind control, you could persuade your boss to give you a raise, demand an A from your professor and basically do anything you wanted. Wouldn’t that be just great!
6. Superhuman Endurance
Superhuman endurance gives those who possess it the powere to exert themselves during activities without getting tired. With this power, you could run marathons, clean the house, or study for long periods of time with no difficulty.
7. Invisibility
With the power of invisibility, you could vanish in a moment just by using your mind. You could sneak into movies without paying or spy on your friends to find out exactly what they think of you.There are many other people you could spy upon in otherwise embarrassing situations, but for these you’ll have to use your own imagination.
8. Healing
Not every superpower has to be something that can be used in a selfish way Just think if you had the power to heal? You could deal not only with minor injuries like cuts and bruises, but also help ease the pain of people suffering from serious illnesses. Cancer, Alzheimer’s, and AIDs would all be history.
9. Time Travel
You wouldn’t need a time machine if you possessed the power to transport yourself into the future, or back to the past. You could be part of the crowd at Woodstock, or see how the world develops 100 years from now.
10. Telepathy
Some people communicate through facial expressions, interpretive dances, or in other non-audible ways. But how exciting would it be to develop the power of telepathy and communicate by reading each other’s minds? You could carry on secret conversations and no one would ever know. You could also learn when your buddies are bluffing at poker or say exactly what your wife wants to hear.
