I know exactly what superpower I would pick. It’s actually a riff on a talent I already have—and that is the power of TIME. Meaning, I almost always know what time it is, within a minute or two. It’s not the fanciest of talents, but it comes in handy. However! If I was a superhero and my power was time, I would wear a cute little outfit with a cape and a fancy diamond encrusted watch. The power would entail me stopping time, speeding up time, and slowing down time. So if somebody was falling out of a building, or there was a nuclear bomb about to launch over New York City, I could stop time and figure out how to keep those things from happening. I would also be able to do time travel, which has always been a dream of mine. I would pop into the 20s and go to a speakeasy and dance all night. Or I would go to the 60s and wear my hair in a high ponytail and go to the soda fountain and listen to The Shirelles. I would also probably pop in at a civil rights rally, see The Beatles in concert, and go to one of those bungalow colonies like in Dirty Dancing. Pretty groovy superpower, right?
