top that | The question was in regards to a superpower. As in one. Instead of multiple superheroes who have multiple powers.
I'll go with whatever that power the baby from the Incredibles has. | |

| I like the teleportation better than mine, actually. I'm switching.
The power to fly would kick. Although I'm sure the coullness would wear off after about a week. | |

| I'm only allowed one power? I can't be Captain Marvel, then 
The Flash it is. Faster than anything else, ever. Even faster than light. In Kingdom Come, he'd been going so fast for so long that he'd turned into a being of pure energy  | |

| Super speed would be useful for fencing. No-one would be able to parry your attacks. I've always thought you could have a lot of fun as a shape-shifter (like Mystique) too. | |

| Instantaneous, accurate Teleportation. Wouldn't it be fun to constantly be JUST out of distance in a bout. Say, I wonder if that is why I can't touche that one fencer. Hmmmm...

| I would want to be able to tell how tall someone is just by listening to their voice on the phone. That way, when a monster attacks a city, I could be at Superhero HQ, pick up the phone and listen to it, then tell the heroes who actually have to deal with the monster what size to expect.
All the glory, none of the danger.  | |

| It's a power I refer to as "blindspot" -- the ability to make one person unable to perceive one object. Not true invisibility, because everyone else in the area can still see the item in question. But the affected victim's brain is incapable of registering the obvious.
I imagine using the blindspot during a fencing bout, blanking out my epee so my opponent can't react appropriately. To the rest of the spectators, however, nothing appears amiss.
(After the tourney, I use use the blindspot selectively on traffic so my snooty ref steps in front of a car he can't see.) | |

| I think I would ultimately have to choose the same powers as Wolverine: regeneration, enhanced senses, and claws. Adamantium bone lacing is optional since I like the whole unbreakable bones thing but I liked the way his bone claws looked.
