A feature on msnbc asks which super power you would want if you had to choose between super strength, being invisible, being able to fly, teleportation or mind control. My gut instinct was to say the gift of flight…but when I think about it, I really want them all!

They each have their own set of awesome advantages of course, but flying does seem the most fun out of them all. For anyone, like me, who has watched Heroes has probably asked themselves which power they would want to be blessed/cursed with. As far as the charaters on Heroes, I think one of the coolest powers is that of Peter Pitrelli who can absorb other peoples’ powers during the time he is in close contact with them. On his own, not so powerful, but surrounded by other super heroes? He is amazing! I am sure he is supposed to serve as some grand message about how we are all one community and we are stronger together, etc, etc. I dig it.

It is strangely comforting to think that there are people out there who might actually posess real super powers. Or that maybe you yourself might one day posess them. As of now I can only fly in my dreams, and that is good enough for now.
