Top 30 Superpowers you Wish You Had

For some reason, superpowers are considered the exclusive domain of children. However, that right there, might be the biggest misconception ever. No matter what the age, we all want superpowers. And, granted, at some point in life, we realize that some things are impossible, you never completely stop believing that your day shall come! Our choices drastically differ as we grow; while children might want magical powers akin to a fairy, teenagers (and probably adults as well) want Hogwarts-sanctioned magical powers (you don’t want to be caught by the Ministry of Magic now, do you?). As a child, powers like Superman’s seems attainable, later in life, Batman and Iron Man become the “realistic choices” (billionaires with amazing gadgets, nothing wrong with that). Be it Power Ranger’s cool gadgets, Dexter’s Laboratory, Spider-Man’s spider-like abilities, the mutant world of the X-Men, or Flash’s super speed, we all want a power which would make us different, powerful, special. Here is a list of some cool superpowers, not all of which might be conventional, but they will make you sui generis anyway.

 

1. Time Travel

No matter how many times science may prove its impossiblity, it remains an ardent desire of many (and rightly so). Aren’t you ever curious to go into the past or future eras to see how things and people were/are? Or maybe go back in time and do something differently and correct a wrong for a better outcome?  How awesome would it be to be the real life Dr. Who!

 

2. Invisibility

Aside from all the mischief, imagine all the perks of normal life, combined with only your desired interactions! Besides pranking and spooking your friends, you can also be the next invisible vigilante fighting the baddies in your form not visible to the eye. Also, you can be anywhere and everywhere whenever you want.

 

3. Superhuman Intelligence

You cannot become Iron Man with just money, you need superhuman intelligence. Quite possibly, you might be able to defeat all other superpowers without even straining your brain.

 

4. Clairvoyance

Not recommended for the weak-hearted. Imagine being able to foresee and warn about future events. Though some visuals might be disturbing, imagine saving so many lives and avoiding harm only with a click of your vision. On a personal level, this can also help you avoid committing blunders. (Wink wink)

 

5. Flying

Beware of flying objects (and oxygen availability). But hey! It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane, it’s not even Superman. It is you, soaring like a pro in the high skies!

 

6. Healing

This superpower is actually so good, that it’s unfair. You don’t have to go through years of strenuous medical-studies, and you don’t need medicines. You just touch someone and they are cured. Wouldn’t that make you really rich?

 

7. Telepathy

This can be used for even more mischief than invisibility, because not only can you read a person’s every thought, you can also communicate so much so that you can express your feelings without even saying a word. So, next time if you and your best friend have to share something, a look and your mind is all that you’ll need; without the fear of being heard.

 

8. Teleportation

You’ll never be late for anything ever. Also, you can go on a vacation without the travel expenses, and go to all the places you ever dreamt of with the click of a finger.

9. Talking to, or Understanding Animals

They are witness to many things you miss out on; having animals on your side is very useful for evil-fighting purposes (remember Tarzan? Enhance the level ten times!)

 

10. Superhuman Strength

Imagine being able to lift and move anything and anyone you want, be it a truck or an elephant.

 

11. Illusionary Powers

Being able to create an illusion in someone’s mind, completely different from their reality. Giving-one individual or a group-a view of the ocean, wave-sounds included, while sitting in a desert, for example.

 

12. Elements

Being able to control all the elements on this planet! Be it water, fire, lightning, wood, earth, wind, or ice, everything would be under your control!

 

13. Levitation

The ability to lift into air anything you want! Who cares about gravity anyway. You are no less than a mystic guru, as you rise into the air without even moving a finger.

 

14. Detachable Limbs

It would look scarier than it would feel, but it might have many uses. You can dismantle and assemble yourself like a robot, even to kill time!

 

15. Eidetic Memory

Not the kind some humans actually have, but the complete thing- never forgetting anything you saw even just once. It would prove to be a double-edged sword though, as sometimes some memories are best forgotten.

 

16. Atmokinesis or Weather Manipulation

“Hmm, too sunny today. A little rain would be awesome I think. *raises arms up in the air*.” How cool would it be to change weather according to your mood, you can even bring the sun out in the rain! You will surely be the source of envy for the Met. Department though..

 

17. Intangibility

You could walk through any solid material. Imagine the thrill of walking through a solid brick wall or one made of impenetrable steel. Nothing could ever stop you!

 

18. Force Field

Nothing could ever touch you. You can repel anything thrown at you just by creating a force field around you. It would look like you are straight out of the Matrix!

 

19. Chi

Kung-fu Panda anyone? Using just the energy of air, and channeling it with your bare hands, you can pull or push anybody around. Imagine how cool it is to use such a powerful form of martial art. Hey, you’re just like the next Bruce Lee!

 

20. Sound-speed Metabolism

Eating whatever you want, but never gaining weight. Everyone wants this, literally. So gorge on your favourite food, without even thinking twice and hey, you can still be the next size zero model!

 

21. Animal-Mimicking

Being able to get the ability of any animal, just by a thought. Fly like a bird, swim like a whale, run like a cheetah, or climb like a squirrel. You can even scare away danger by just roaring like a lion!

 

22. Speed

You would never be late, nor need to exercise ever. You can even outrun a cheetah, the fastest creature on the planet, which can come quite handy in escaping danger or even unwanted situations.

 

23. Elasticity

Just like Mrs. Incredible, you can stretch and stretch, and can reach any height or object, or enter narrow spaces. No need to join a gym, when you have elasticity like a rubber band!

 

24. Cloning

How quickly would your work get done if there were a hundred of you? If you have had a twin sibling while growing up, you know how much fun you can have fooling others. Now imagine many more like you, which you yourself create. Not only would you never feel lonely and can have fun pranking people, you can get all your tasks done in a minute.

 

25. Reality-Warping

Rather than creating illusions in people’s minds, you could alter reality as you wish.

 

26. Physical Armour

Being able to turn your skin into steel, hard rock, or anything that could prove to be an armour. Nothing can hit or pierce you, be it a sharp knife or bullet and rather people will get hurt trying to attack you, as if you are like Superman, the Man of Steel.

 

27. Manipulate Matter

Imagine manipulating matter at the atomic level. You could turn anything, be it water, soil or fire, and create anything out of an existing object.

 

28. Immortality

Though it might seem a very fascinating proposition, it might not seem so forever; and forever is a long time. Imagine living through all the ages and seeing all possible things, you may be the most wise and experienced person on the whole planet.

 

29. Happiness

It might sound a bit corny, but what would be better than being happy, and being able to spread happiness all around you. To be perfectly honest, though, it might require the combination of all of the above mentioned superpowers! You can be a living happiness machine for yourself and people around.

 

30. Multilingualism

Being able to speak, understand, and write any langauge of the universe. Be it Latin, Greek, Harappan, Mandarin, or any alien linguistic form, if ever found! You can even give competition to Google Translate and you also can know if someone is saying something bad in another language about you.

I wish I had some of these superpowers. *Sigh*
