What would YOUR superpower be?

[Birdie Wife]

The theme of this years regional Christmas do is Superheroes. So we can choose an existing or an entirely original superhero to be for the evening. Any ideas, for me or for you? What would your superhero power be? So far I have a few ideas but nothing is really grabbing me!!
PS any pointers on cheap fancy dress costume would be great - I don't want to spend more than £20 - and there is a prize for the best dressed superhero!

My son got a purple jacket from a charity shop and some face paints and went as the joker from Batman. More a baddy but cheap! Will try and get a photo sorted

I saw a chap on telly years ago - it could even have been Yuri Geller, but I'm not sure - and he could hold seeds in his hands and they would germinate.......I've always fancied that one.

translocation.............how cool would that be, such a time saver too, and no getting cold and wet walking from pillar to post.

the other power i would adore, would be the ability ( 2 actually) to go back in time invisibly and be able to understand all languages past and present. How amazing to be able to silently witness actual historical events, see them for what actually happened, not the version in books written by the winner?

i would like to be able to steal other peoples superpowers and use them myself.

I would like the ability to sweep my eyes over an area and eradicate every snail and slug!

To cast my eye about every press report, from whatever source, and 'impose' that those that hated one-another feel an opposite emotion.

I'm not up for a beauty pageant or the like - I know it sounds like it 'world peace and all' - but wouldn't it be great if those who hated one another could respect/endure the differences and live peaceably-like?

To the victims in Mumbai (latest atrocity) - my sincerest condolences - and peace and strength to the surviving relatives.

But... I thought 'Birdie Wife' *was* a superhero? (Don't tell me you can't actually nip into a phonebox and come out with feathers and a beak ).

Sorry, being silly - and I do remember where your user name comes from! But some sort of bird costume would be appropriate, wouldn't it?

I'd have thought at Christmas that the easiest superhero to dress up as was Santa? Even NORAD track him!

Wonderwoman!

Elastagirl - that would be me...bendy, bendy!

Beam me up Scottie!

I would love to be able to look into someone elses eyes and see any major ailments they had like heart or brain problems and instantly put them right!.

Funnily enough, there was supposedly a guy born around this time of year around 2000 years ago who was able to do this!

Being as inconspicuous as I choose would be nice, but 'headology' in general will do<g>

nah cos you are not allowed to interfere Jim.....it's life, but not as we know it.
