If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Flight. Super strength, invulnerability, the usual.
(Maniacal laughter) That aside... Explain your choice. Well it's a no-brainer. You're really strong
and you can't be hurt. When you look at Superman, which power does he use most often?
Flight. Not quite. He's constantly being super strong
and invulnerable when he's beating up bad guys. Strength and invulnerability. End of
story. Disregarding the fact that that's two powers,
I disagree. Who doesn't want to fly? Sure, yours is useful for fighting crime, but the
last time I checked that aren't many monsters invading Manhattan. Any power you choose should
be for your own use, and personally, I want to fly. Plus, remember what happened to Mr.
Incredible. Super muscle turns into super fat.
Yeah, but everybody looks fat in Spandex. Psh, I don't.
You're discounting strength and invulnerability too much. It has real-world applications!
Just think about how many people are killed or mugged every day! I could fight crime!
I could! I could be like a super-cop! Ooh, TV show! So there's this cop -
Ah ah ah! No. My point is that flying, while fun, is not
as useful a power as as super strength and invulnerability.
And how do you think you're going to get to all these crimes that you're fighting, huh?
You gonna take the bus? Superman couldn't even fly in the beginning,
okay! He just used his strength to jump really far!
Well you can jump really far right up your own -
Guys! I've never seen Charlie this quiet for this long before. Whatcha thinkin' about over
there? About how you're all wrong and you won't last
a week when I rule the world. Well I would if I were invulnerable.
False. You all chose poorly. The correct answer is telekinesis. Think about it. One: the obvious
uses. Move things, throw people, etc. Second: protective barriers. I could literally deflect
anything that tried to harm me, AKA invulnerability. And three: you could lift yourself. AKA flight,
mother-trucker! Superman? Please. Superman wishes he would be as badass as I would be
with telekinetic powers. Man, she even has the evil supervillain monologuing
down. And that is why I would rule the world.
That, uh, that seems a little overpowered, right? I mean you can't just have unlimited
power. Does she remember that she's not actually
telekinetic? You still haven't explained how you would
defeat my super strong, invulnerable self. I could move or stop the movement of anything
with my mind. What makes you think I couldn't just detach your brain from your spinal column?
You might not die, but you wouldn't threaten my regime.
Sweet sister of Sisyphus! I'm just glad she's on our side!
Am I? Am I?
