Influence
I’m not talking about social media influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers watching my every move necessarily. True influence.
Being able to use the gift of gab and build strategic arguments to persuade people around me. It would be something that could tangibly benefit me both professionally and in my personal life and relationships.
Anna Ditchev, M.S., Account Director, Public Relations, Dentsu International
Taking Flight
Airports have become almost intolerable. Flight delays and cancellations, navigating through crowds, long lines to board, long layovers, tempers flaring.. I could go on.
If I could just pack a bag, lift off, and go wherever I wanted in a matter of minutes, or even hours, I would choose that superpower.
The sky is a big area. If I were flying alongside others who had the same superpower, I have a feeling we would not have to worry about collisions.
It’s almost cruel that humans didn’t evolve into a flying species. Life would be so much easier.

Being Able to Communicate and Understand Any Language
This superpower would allow me to communicate with people from all around the world, breaking down language barriers and fostering greater understanding and connection among different cultures.
This ability would be particularly useful in fields such as diplomacy, international business, and humanitarian aid, where the ability to communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds can be essential.

Eliminate Racism
If I had a superpower, it would be to eliminate racism, the power to create empathy and understanding. This would allow us to recognize the inherent value of all people and break down the barriers that divide us.
Additionally, it would enable us to recognize our similarities instead of our differences, encouraging us to come together to create a more equitable and just world.

Zoolingualism
If I could choose the best superpower for me, it would be zoolingualism.
The ability to understand the speech and emotions of animals has always been my greatest dream. Growing up surrounded by pet lovers, I have treated animals as family members and best friends.
We can communicate with each other to some extent, but zoolingualism would bring human-animal interactions to a whole new level. Getting to know my cats better, having small talk with a neighbor’s dog, and joking with monkeys in the zoo–doesn’t it sound fantastic?
That’s not all. As animals discover the natural world through their senses, talking to them would be a great chance to broaden my knowledge of the environment.
If I had this superpower, I would also use it to raise social awareness of animal-related issues.

The Ability to Heal
If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to heal. To be able to help those who are suffering and in pain, whether physical or emotional, would be a priceless gift and an incredible responsibility.
Healing isn’t just about diagnosing illness or administering medication; it’s also about helping people feel content with themselves no matter what their current situation may bring. It’s about providing guidance through tough times and encouraging positive change within ourselves or others by inspiring confidence in our abilities and strength in our spirit.
With this power, I could give people hope for a better future; restore their faith in themselves; and allow them to look forward with optimism instead of fear when they receive medical news from their doctors.

Power to Comprehend and Sympathize
If I had a superpower, it would most likely be the capacity to comprehend and sympathize with the many experiences, needs, and viewpoints of the individuals with whom I work. This skill would enable me to fully connect with the individuals and families I serve, understand their unique difficulties and needs, and design individualized, effective solutions that address the underlying causes of issues.
This talent would also allow me to successfully interact with the individuals I deal with, to create trust and a positive relationship with them, and to traverse complex systems and get the resources they need to improve their lives.
Furthermore, being able to understand and sympathize with the individuals I work with will allow me to be more effective in my profession as a social worker and have a greater beneficial influence on the lives of those I serve.

Bionic Glass Eye Upgrade
Since I have a glass eye, I’ve often wondered if I could ever upgrade it, maybe even with supernatural abilities. It would be great if I could shoot laser beams from it, record what I’m seeing, or even give it mobility and allow it to disengage and fly around, stealth-drone style, to spy on nefarious troublemakers.
A detachable bionic eye would be awesome, even for doing inane things like checking that my kids are doing their homework while I’m downstairs watching a game.

Ability to Fly
If I had a superpower, it would definitely be the ability to fly. Imagine soaring through the sky and being able to go anywhere in an instant. It’s the most freeing feeling I can think of; the wind rushing past my face as I move with unmatched speed.
Flying would make my life so much easier regarding transportation, giving me the freedom to go wherever I want at any time of day. It would also make traveling more exciting than ever before. Instead of long, exhausting drives or aircraft rides, all I’d have to do is spread my wings and take off!
Being able to look down on incredible landscapes while gliding through clouds would be an unforgettable experience every single time. Plus, racing down mountainsides as if they were ski slopes is something that could never get old for me-what a thrill that must be!
