If I were to have a superpower than I would have healing powers! The type of power that save people’s lives. The type that make the world a happy place. This strong superpower will make everyone on earth the most happiest and sick­free citizens in the universe. I could make the dead come alive and I can also make zombies turn into normal human beings! I mean...if zombies exist! Here are some reasons why I would want the ability to heal

One reason that I would have healing powers is to heal people. I would go to every hospital in the world and touch everyone there and heal every single one of them. People with bruises scars, diseases, and comas would be healed by one simple touch of my hand. It will be a huge miracle of how these people got healed. It will be a secret too because no one will know that I healed them. But it will be a relief that they’re well and not ill anymore.

Another reason is that when people get healed, they will be happy. They’ll be filled with happiness when they find out that they’re not sick anymore. One thing that they won’t know is who healed them...that will still be a mystery but...at least their healthy and well. The news station would make a new topic all about the miracle of who healed the patients in the hospital.

Last but not least, I would want healing superpowers is because, It will save people’s lives. People who are sick or VERY ill and those who are about to die, will get their lives saved by me. No one will feel bad or sad that their family members are dying. Instead they’ll be happy that their relatives are alive happy and very well.

So that is why I would have healing powers. It helps people get healthy and hearty. It saves lives, and it would make the world a better place. Healing powers would make the world a wonderful place to live. Happiness will spread all through the world. Although sometimes people may be sad, the world will still stay a sick­free place to live in. Plus the world would be more safe without zombies… if there even real. Those are the four reasons of why I would want healing superpowers!

You can teleport merely a foot or even 2,000 miles all the way on the opposite side of the world.Teleportation will help me with protection and if somebody would think deeply about it, they would find some very helpful benefits from teleportation. First, if I had teleportation, I would use it to protect me, my family, friends, and others. The numerous situations I could protect others from are war, dangerous positions, and viable accidents. I could always find a way to teleport out of any situation. If I could ever be able to teleport, my life would be filled with joy because traveling would be completely free. For instance, I could imagine myself in Hawaii automatically be shifted within seconds without spending a penny. Also, I would be able help my parents avoid ghastly traffic. Lastly, I would love to pop into a safe zone whenever I am in a dangerous such as a severe storm or an unexpected accident. Teleportation would be very helpful. It is helpful because there is more space in the car if you just teleport and you will never be late unless you don't get ready in time.

If I could have any one superpower in the world I would pick water breathing. I have always had a desire to keep people safe when they are in the water. I would also want water breathing so i can play in the water. Ariel from The Lile Mermaid could become a reality. Another reason I want to be able to breath underwater is the valuable asset I can be to my community or even the world just like Aquaman! I want to be similar to Aquaman because, Aquaman is on the jusce league, he is strong, he can communicate to dolphins, similar to king triton, and he is played by Jusn Hartley a popular actor. Water breathing would also a lifesaver when someone is drowning or an animal is drowning because you can be a hero by saving animals/person’s life and they will adore you forever and ever. Water breathing is also a very handy because, if you are in the olympics you can win all of the swimming events. You can scuba dive without a air tank to drag with you. I would love to have water breathing because I can feel like a mermaid, just like the Ariel from the lile mermaid! I picked water breathing because, water breathing can help you with everyday things like swimming. It could be useful and/or a lifesaver. And so that is why is picked water breathing!

Superhuman Intelligence By Swetha Bharat

Superpowers are something everybody wishes for. From superheroes to even humans, superpowers are having magical abilities that can change anyone's life into gold. A superpower I desire is superhuman intelligence. The reason this superpower intrigues me so much is because I don’t need to study anymore, I can have a powerful memory, and I can have better calculation skills.

I don't like tests. Assessments in school are terrifying because if you make mistakes, you will get bad grades. When I have superhuman intelligence, I don't need to study for tests. I can periodically party all night and complete the test the next day. I can ace every single test I have, and I can get all A’s every single year! That would be very helpful if I had superhuman intelligence.

I can't remember things that well. I usually forget very important things that I have to do. If I have superhuman intelligence, I will also have powerful memory. If I have a powerful memory, then I can remember the past, I can remember everything I learn in school, and I will never forget anything important. Powerful memory is something that can help me a lot in my life.

Math is my favorite subject. Just because it is my favorite, it doesn't mean that I am perfect at it. If I have better calculation skills, my math calculations would be better, I can get 5/5 or 6/6 on my math competitions, and I could get A’s on all my math tests. My math tests can look like gold if I can get 4’s on every single test.

Super powers are something everybody wishes for. A super power I want to have is superhuman intelligence. The reasons that I want to have this superpower is because I don't need to study anymore, I can have a powerful memory, and because my calculations can be better. For these reasons I think superhuman intelligence is a wonderful superpower for me.

X­Ray Vision By Justin Engler

Superpowers are things you only read about in comic books and see in movies. If I had the opportunity to pick any super power, the one I desire the most would be X­ray vision. One reason is to see through walls. Another is to keep bad things from happening to good people. I would have the ability to detect sickness, cancer, and broken bones in others. These are the reasons why I would want to have X­ray vision.

X­ray vision would help me spy on my younger brother to see what he is up to. My brother is a brussel sprout. The smell this vegetable produces is just as bad as the unbelievable passed gas he creates every second of the day. With my X­ray vision, I can see through his bedroom door without him knowing. This would increase my data bank of blackmail material I could use against him whenever I need my parents to ground and embarrass him.

In addition to spying on my brother, I could spy on my cute little family dog, Duchess, to see what mischievous things she is up to when we're not home. Could you imagine what kinds of occupations I could be paid for with my super power? I could see what restaurants and their serving staff do behind the double doors.

I would like to prevent bad things from going on. For example looking in people's bags to see if they have any explosives on them. I would be a perfect TSA (People who check you at the airport) person.

Next I would like to see other people’s heath. I would give them a heads up if they’re sick. I would tell them if they had cancer and where it is. I would do the same for fractures and broken bones. If they needed a ride, I would give them an uber or a taxi if they prefered that to the nearest hospital.

That is what I would if do i had X­Ray vision. I chose this superpower because this is one that i’ve always admired. I hope you enjoyed my essay, what is your superpower?

SUPER STRENGTH By Yama Etebar

If I could have any superpower known to man, it would be having super strength. There are numerous reasons being strong would be an exceptional characteristic to possess. I could save people! I could even help little old ladies with groceries if it is way too heavy for them. I would be a valuable asset to anyone who wants to get things done twice as fast. I would be so strong, I can also bench press a bus with my pinky. If I had super strength, I’d would absolutely love to join the WWE. These are the reasons why I would want to have super strength.

The first reason I would want to be extremely strong is the ability to help people twice as fast and if people are in a hurry I can get there stuff done in like 2 seconds so they can have the party starting now and if someone is in trouble I can get there fast since, when I go to the gym I go on the treadmill and run like 300 miles so I can get there really really fast in like 7.5 seconds and if there stuck under a car I could lift the car up and get the person up before the person gets really injured and I can take the person to the hospital to get he/she checked up.

I would also use my superpowers for the WWE. WWE is the abbreviation for World Wrestling Entertainment. WWE is famously known for creating The Undertaker, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and everyone’s favorite action star, The Rock. With my super strength I can beat every single WWE fighter in the world since I am the strongest man in the world and I will be unstoppable and everybody will be so scared of me and I will be the champion in the world if I go to London or any other country. I could be famous and I can fight people in the WWE and win the GOLDEN belt in every single fight. So about undertaker his real name is Mark William Calaway and he was born in Houston, Texas and his height is 6’ 10’ his spouse is Michelle McCool, Sara Calaway, and Jodi Lynn and Mark Calaway started his wrestling career with world class championship wrestling in 1984 and mark is 51 years old now and he weighs 300 pounds and he is a professional wrestler way to go UNDERTAKER/ Mark William Calaway.

So yhea I would have super strength as my superpower and it will be awesome to really have that and I could really help people in real life and it would be cool.

Avatar Powers By Tristan Xavier Hendrix

If I could have any power, I would have avatar powers. These are the reasons why I would have Avatar powers. If I had avatar powers I could shoot fire and make myself as hot as a supernova. I could burn and make fires so I don’t get cold at night. I could help people who are being attacked by protecting people who can’t use bending.With Waterbending, I could cook ramen on the go and never starve. Fire benders second element is lighting. I could shot lighting and make thunder appear and be creative with it. I could make a thunder shield and armor for defense and I could make thunder weapons for offense. Then I could go super sayian and shoot kamehamehas, because kamehames and going super sayian is also from plasma.

Another reason I would have a avatar powers is so I could shoot water. I could make water tornados and defend myself so I don’t die and control people by their blood. I could have the enemies friends turn against themselves. I could make a entire nations kill themselves. I could defend the weak with tidal waves and push backs enemies so I don’t kilpowers. Ice Bending is waterbenders secondary element. They can make ice shards and make water freeze and sh

Another reason is I could bend air. In the anime most of the airbenders were wiped out but one survived and was Aagn. He was found when Katara and Sokka found him frozen in a block of ice. I could fly create tornadoes and create air balls. I could make it rain and coundence clouds into tiny balls. I could make a air shield which would protect and make me fly at high speeds. The air scooter is a scooter that I could use when in a pickle for a burst of speed to flee.

Another reason I would have avatar powers is because I could earthbend. Earthbending has a lot of secondary elements such as sand and steel. With steel bending I could make steel shields for defense and sand spears and barriers for offense. Earthbending has a lot of creativity your possibilities are endless. Another special bending for earth is lavabending. Lavabending is very deadly they can make magma rise up from the earth and they can make weapons and things out of it.

My final reason that I would have avatar powers is the avatar state. The avatar state is the form where the avatar can control all elements at once. The avatar state is no joke one of it’s abilities is the avatar shield demonstrated by Aang in the the battle against the fire lord. The avatar shield is a shield that surrounds the avatar with the 4 elements. The avatar can fly at immense speed and ram into the opponents

Avatar powers have many possibilities. The reasons above is why I would want the super cool avatar powers.

Animal Mimicry By Mana Iyer

Have you ever wished that you could shoot webs like Spiderman, have super strength like the Hulk, or fly like Superman? If I could have any superpower known to the comic book world, it would be animal mimicry. Animal mimicry has many technicalities to what you can transform into. It would help me get out of numerous life threatening situations. I could also entertain myself with this power. In my opinion, animal mimicry is the best superpower that has ever been imagined by writers. Animal mimicry has many rules and regulations, but it is still pretty spectacular. You can possess any attribute from any animal, and even combine these characteristics together. For example, you could have a dolphin tail and a lion head. You could also fully transform into an animal. You would also get the abilities of that animal. Those are the many criteria of animal mimicry. Animal mimicry would also help to protect you and a multitude of people. You could become a shark and swim if a ship you're on were to sink. You could become a chameleon and camouflage to hide from enemies. You could become an eagle and fly if you fell off a cliff. As you can see, animal mimicry would help keep you and many others safe. Finally, you would always be able to amuse yourself with animal mimicry. If you know someone who is scared of bugs, you could become a huge spider and jump on them. Though, they would probably hate you more than a teenager hates Dora the Explorer. You could mix up a narwhal and a horse and become a unicorn. That unicorn would be much better than a horse with a paper cone taped to its head. You could become a gnat and spy on your little brother to find out where he hid all of his Halloween candy... You could get into locked rooms by becoming an ant and crawling under doorway. You could become a falcon and fly! You could become a cheetah and run at the speed of light if you were ever late to school. You could have hours of fun with animal mimicry. Animal mimicry would definitely be the superpower I would choose if ever presented the option. Though it has many restrictions, being able to transform into any animal on a whim wouId be more fun than a day at Disney World. Animal mimicry could save countless lives. I could also have endless fun with this power. As you can see, with animal mimicry, the possibilities are endless.

about ight By Jo el Jo seph

It was one of those days sitting on the couch, and drinking my coffee when I looked through some of the latest magazines. After I looked through the magazine bin there it was the latest of them all, it was the magazine that surprised me it said on the front cover that it was going to describe a one hundred superpowers that people voted for. So I skipped along then I landed at page twenty five, it was all about my favorite superpower, so then I jumped straight into it.

Flight, Flight is better than any other superpower because, it can transport you faster than any other superpower. There are two different types of flight, the most common one is buoyant flight. Buoyant flight is a human constructed creation which is lighter than air like a blimp. The second one is animal flight which is a natural flight that animals are born with.

You can get to crime scenes faster than a jet. If you ever come across a dog that is going to run into a truck, you can save it by flying fast, but on the other hand, Mr. Flame will set the dog on fire and everybody will hate him. With that advantage, people will like you, trust you, and also rely on your help.

During our research, flight was the most popular. Scientists say someday get we will get flight by mimicking birds and other animals. Flight is the most simplest superpower to resemble in life which means that we will certainly get flight any time or even today. This is why having flight is worth it. Next time we get a report from the scientists, they will tell you what is happening. Ahh, that coffee was tasty. The next day I came to the same table I noticed there was a new copy of the series which had came out, which means I sat down drinking my coffee and started reading it this one was about cars and more.

It is Called Pyrokinesis (and a bit of immortality) Kid.

By: Naren Krishnan

Close your eyes and think about controlling fire. Imagine all the marvels you can create. The name of that type of power is pyrokinesis. I will tell the many reasons of why I want to possess pyrokinesis. A plethora of people in the fictional world have pyrokinesis. I shall explain mind­blowing tricks with pyrokinesis. The following reasons will include, what is pyrokinesis, what I would do with it, and how I would I be.

Pyrokinesis is the ability to fire. A way to remember it is, “pyro” means fire and “kinesis” means to control. I could control use fire to soar to great heights, WHEE! I could summon a protective fire shield to shield me from debris (comes in handy at all times.). I could be fireproof, meaning that fire will not harm me (I think that is pretty obvious.) I could never be sick because I could heat up and kill the bacteria in me. Lastly, I could be Marvel’s Human Torch or the the X­men’s Sunspot. The Human Torch is in the Fantastic Four and is literally on fire, can become as hot as a supernova and can fly. Sunspot is part of the new X­men and transforms into a mutant that is made out of black solar energy, can fly, and has superhuman strength.

Lots of super heroes have pyrokinesis. I just have mentioned Sunspot and the Human Torch. They include; Amazo, Crystal, Captain Planet (that is also a movie played by Don Cheadle), Bloodaxe, Chromos, Enchantress, Ghost Rider, Naruto Uzumaki, and Firestar (So. Many. Superheroes!) I could have mentioned a plethora more but you would have fell asleep So, that is pretty much about “super­people” that have pyrokinesis.

I would use pyrokinesis to protect and destroy. I could protect people from burning building by making the fire change course to me ( DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ANYWHERE ELSE, IT IS A SUPERPOWER, IT WILL HURT!) I can destroy buildings, houses, enemy bases, and cars (technically everything.) I could set things on an almost everlasting fire. Finally, I could be villainous wrecking everything in my path. I would be an Anti­hero that causes rampage and does good. An antihero is a person that is good and bad (like Deadpool). I will work solo, no team affiliations! I will be bad most of the time. I shall be called… wait I forgot the name, and no, my name is not ”wait I forgot the name.” I am the one and only Firelord (dramatic background music.) When I am good I would save people from fires, villains, and more (like debris). When I am bad I am a whole different story, I will side up with the villains, cause havoc and chaos, and do as much damage as possible (shocked audience about to faint.)

WARNING, THE NEXT PARAGRAPH HAS TRICKS THAT ARE ONLY FICTIONAL, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, TRY THIS AT HOME! Some ways you could make pyrokinesis useful is by doing tricks and stunts. I will start off easy and go hard. A simple one is to do loop­de­loops in the air while on fire (sure does sound fun!) Next, you could draw smoke patterns in the air while on fire. A challenging one is, to make an exact duplicate of you out of fire (that sounds sooooo fun.) The most challenging one is, put a building on fire and after a few minutes, take off the fire and leave the building untouched (it is possible). Remember, do not try this at home!

When I am a villain, destroying buildings is the least I could do. I would summon supernovas to destroy cities, states, and even countries. HA HA HA! I would be 100,000 times stronger than an atom bomb when I am at full power (have I mentioned I am immortal?) In other words, I can destroy a whole continent! Superheroes will run away from me like a chicken running away from a tiger. Water can’t stop me because it would evaporate when it is 10 feet away from me. Ahhhhh, I love the amount of destruction I would cause, good thing I do not feel like destroying the world.

So, these are the main reasons why I want pyrokinesis. I would use it to control the marvels of fire. I would be similar to a bazillion “super people”. Do some sweet tricks (can’t forget about that). I would be an Anti­hero to protect and destroy. Hey, a new motto, protect and destroy! Pyrokinesis will be the start of following my motto.

What Superpower Would You Have? By Anantha Kumar

If I could choose any superpower in the universe it would be the power to fly. The three reasons why I would want this phenomenal superpower are the obvious benefits and some things I would do to make things interesting. I also will be talking about how I would have to stay safe and how I could use it to my full advantage. Even if these ideas are crazy or dumb there are uses for them. First off if I could fly what would be the need for me to use cars anymore? Think about a life where you never get caught in long, boring, traffic jams. I could fly to school quickly instead of walking, taking a car, and taking a bus. Plus I could go to my friends house whenever I am free. It would be so crazy and sci­fi to look at that people might get jealous. Also by not using a car It lowers global warming, but even though one car to a billion is little it's still something. When I ride in a car I feel dizzy and I get stomach pain. But being able to fly I could say goodbye to that forever. So I would love it without any cars and being able to fly. These are some creative things you could do. I could carry a camera in the sky, of course at your own risk, and take beautiful pictures that your parents would love to see! But be careful not to get hit by an airplane! All the things you could do are just mindblowing! What if you had a youtube channel and you recorded videos of you flying without an airplane, helicopter or a parachute. Imagine all the views and likes you could get! I could be helpful to some kids if their toys get stuck in the trees you could bring it down for them. In baseball, I would be too overpowered because I could fly and catch all the balls that come toward me. I could play many games with my friends. Basketball would be a piece of cake when I have the ball then fly up and dunk it like a boss! If I played football I could fly into the end zone and score so many touchdowns. Plus, if I became an FBI agent I would be the perfect spy. I would track down all the enemies and report them. These are all the reasons I want to fly and why. If I ever did discover how to fly I would come up with even more ideas to do. So flying is my superpower of choice because of all the mind boggling things to do. Crazy or not flying is a thing humans have been dreaming about for centuries. It is a dream and to this day it is still alive. I am sure the possibilities are endless which what makes flying a true wonder to admire.

Telekinesis By Christian Leeson

Have you ever wanted to do things without touching things I know I would. I could open bathroom doors without touching it ew. If a plane is falling I could hold them up so they don’t die. Or I dump water on my wicked aggressive stingy sister.I could float things to myself if I’m lazy which I am.

If I had telekinesis I could lift trees I could be capable of lifting a tree. Or if there is a fire I could use my telekinesis to lift them out of the building. Or if a plane is crashing I could lift them and they could get them out safely.

If I could have telekinesis I would not only save people I would prank them too.I would pour water on them.I could make their things fly and they can not get their things

Power Shifting By Aidan McDonough

Power shifting is the ability to change powers. The power was first introduced to me by the first x men movie. It is a power like no other but so similar at the same time. Here is what I can do.

With this power I could change my power at will. The science is I change my genetic code. It is as simple as that my genes change. It sounds fictional but this could happen to extent with changing your genetics with special tools.

All the good things I could do like saving cities from bombings.A lot would change in the world because of me. You may think I could just prevent crime with time travel but then I would be obsolete. Then I would be trapped in an endless paradox switching from needed to unneeded being trapped in an endless time loop.

For if some reason I got corrupted then I could blow up the universe. Nothing would be safe if I was evil. The world would be nothing. I could be a floating thing in nothing remembering the universe I destroyed. But no star wars movies to watch to be entertained.

That is what would happen if I had that power. It could be fun, nice, and amazing. On the other hand those words would no longer be spoken. Altho it is a cool ability I wanna stay a normal person. But my evil counterpart from the other paragraph doesn't.

DUDE… I’M STRONG! By Brady Nguyen

If I had to pick a superpower, I would pick super strength. Why would I pick super strength? Well, just look at all of the things I could possibly do. I could throw an egg at somebody 200 miles away. That would be mindblowing for me and the people I would entertain, but definitely dreadful for the person on the receiving end of this small slimy object. Besides having fun, I could use my limitless power to play professional sports. My last reason I want to have super strength is for emergencies. These are the reasons why being infinitely burly would be amazing! Since I always wanted to become a professional football player, I could be pretty much any position I want to be. If I want to be a wide­receiver, in the game I would just bolt to the end­zone and signal the quarterback to throw the football as high and far as he can. Next I’ll jump towards the football and over my teammates and the nasty opponents to catch the football and score a T OUCHDOWN! Or I can play defensive tackle. All I have to do to be a great defensive tackle is to just “over muscle” the center and touch the quarterback to get a “strip sack”, grab the football and take it all the way home! But since my mom may not want me to ever play football, maybe I could play basketball for the NBA (National Basketball Association) and get highlight­reel full­court dunks! Or… I can be a soccer player and make shots from 80 meters away. I would absolutely be way too overpowered! Sometimes I don’t have to use super strength for my job though. There are times when I could use this superpower for my own pleasure and entertainment. I could annoy my older sister by clapping so loud next to her ear constantly and she’ll go BANANAS! B ut, boy oh boy, N O ONE w ould want to challenge me to an arm wrestle after they felt my wrath once. Whenever anybody confronts me to an arm wrestling match, I would always accept. I know that I would always pin them down, unlike in real­life where I always am the one getting pinned. I could also buy some eggs to throw at my classmate and neighbor… M ANA . Since I know where her house is, I could spray dozens of eggs at her window while she is sleeping. That will be more fun than driving a McLaren P1, a million­dollar sports car that can go from 0 to 60 MPH in less than three seconds. Should I do it even if it means she would get me back? I don’t want to get in trouble so… Y ER… NO! Not a good idea! A few more things that super strength can bonus me are that, One, when Lucy comes, picks me up and says “I’m gonna pound you!” then I’ll pound her first! Two, I wouldn’t care if I ran out of gas? All I probably have to do is, pick up the car and walk a half mile or so to the next gas station. And last but not least, three, If an airplane is going down all I have to do to save a 150 or so people is to catch the falling airplane and everybody is saved, YAY! There is one thing that super strength can’t do is it can’t help my emotions when my fish dies. So in the end having super strength would be awesome. It would really benefit when I play sports and having fun. Who wouldn’t want to win every single arm wrestle? But as we all should know, it can’t prevent my fish from dying...

Materiokinesis By Bi Nguyen

This is an essay of why I would have materiokinesis as my one superpower. I would have materiokinesis because I can protect myself or others from danger by making any weapon of my choosing that is a solid, liquid, or gas. Since I can control matter, I can control people’s actions and their breathing as well. Also if I was about to die from tear gas or any poison gas, I can control the gas to get it out of my system, avoiding major damage to my lungs or other organs. I would If someone was to point a gun or weapon at me I could easily change their weapon to something else like water or something nonlethal. And if someone was to actually shoot me I could slow their bullet down as if I was in the matrix or something. Another reason why I would have materiokinesis is because I can create anything I want, Well anything that’s solid, liquid, or gas. This means I have no limit to what I can make. Which means I can create things like water or planets, I can make teleporter and then reverse engineer it to try to find a way to actually make a teleporter.And then keep reverse engineering things to push mankind’s technology billions of years ahead, I can become a decillionaire and have tons of money. Of course, I could use this money to give to people who need it more than me. LIke the homeless, orphans, and even the sick. I could even make something, Like the cure to all cancer, or some other deadly disease The final reason why I would have this superpower is because I can save myself from any kind of danger. Like if I’m falling to my death, I can make something, like a parachute, to help me survive the fall. Or If I'm in space and can’t breathe, I can easily make a helmet with oxygen to save myself from dying of no air. Or when I’m starving to death I can make food and eat to treat my rumbling stomach. That’s why I would choose materiokinesis. I could save myself and others, protect innocent people and give money to charity, I could have anything I want and push mankind's technology and I can survive any danger. I think materiokinesis is one of the best powers ever!

Power Mimicry By Charmi Palem

Have you ever wanted to be good at something that you haven't been very good at? I know I have. You could finally be good at what you love to do. You don't have to stay up all night studying for school. When you're playing a board game like chess, you could play as well as Magnus Carlsen (Winner of the World Championship 2014). Best of all, you do it with your mind! Have you ever wanted a new hobby but don't know where to start? You could start out awesome! Sing songs like S hake It Off a nd O ut of The Woods like T aylor Swift. Write books like G rimm brothers and L . Frank Baum. Swim as fast as M ichael Phelps in the Olympics. Play basketball as good as M ichael Jordan. Have you just wanted to sleep a good 10 hours instead of taking 7 of those hours trying to study? Right before taking a test just absorb all the facts that the teacher knows and the good thing is she still knows the facts. Now you don't have to do those all­nighters, remember everything a lecturer says, and it's not cheating! Cheating is when you are “looking” at someone else's work, not absorbing, and it's in the middle of a test not right before the test. Best of all, it's fun. When you're playing basketball with friends you could play as good as L ebron James, S teph Curry, or M ichael Jordan. If I'm playing tag I can run as fast as U sain Bolt a nd catch everyone. One day during recess while I'm playing four­square I can absorb all the power from Mrs.Allen. If I had to pick the best superpower it would be the Power Mimicry. I could be good at anything I wanted! I could build things like T homas Edison. I could be an astronaut like M ae Jemison. I can do it all with my mind!

TIME TRAVEL By Nishitha Pammidimukkala

Time travel is the best superpower you can ever have. Why? There are a plethora of reasons why being able to go back in time or fast forward to the future is the best superpower anyone could have, but there are three major reasons why I want to be able to travel at the snap of a finger. One reason is to fix bad things. The second reason is to go to the future. The last reason is to go back in time.

First, you can fix bad things. You can stop accidents from happening because you know what is happening in the future. You can also stop people from committing suicide. You can stop people from making bad choices like smoking or drinking.You can also stop people from getting bullied.

You can see into the future. You can see how you look in the future. You can see how many kids you have in the future. You can also see answers to the questions you have to your future self. You will also be able to stop the bad things from happening.

You can go back in time. If you can hi back in time then you can stop yourself from getting in trouble. For example you can stop from getting bad grades because you would know the answers in the test from the first time you took your test. If you could go back in time you can get more TC. And lastly if you could go back in time you can meet famous people like Thomas Jefferson, Helen Keller, Pocahontas, and more.

So now that you know tons and tons of advantages for time travel would you choose ‘’Time Travel’’ as your super power too? I know I would I mean come I mean come on you get to see your future self. You can also save so many lives. Those are all the reasons why I chose this superpower.

Super Powers By Nicholas Ruff

If I could have one superpower, it would be to travel through time. I would be able to go back in time and stop the bad guy before he even is a menace to society. I could also go back in time and fix all the things I've done wrong, like miserably failed on a test. I could even go back and fix the Sphinx's nose. The following is what I would do if I could travel through time. Like the main character, The Doctor, in Doctor Who, a sci­fi show that’s been running for years, I would be able to go back in time and make sure bad guys are never even born. I could go back in time and make the number one most wanted villain just a normal average Joe that didn't hurt anyone. That would make the people’s lives way easier in the future. In addition to keeping thugs off the streets and affecting families’ lives, I would also help that could­be man from having a life of pain and suffering in jail. That's one of the ways the world could benefit from me being able to have the awesome ability to time travel. Another thing I could do is go back and fix things, like that broken nose on the Sphinx in Egypt. I could make sure that the carver of the ancient Sphinx reinforces the nose with more sandstone. With the Sphinx’s nose fixed now, the attraction would look way better and captivating a quadrillion to the infinite power of tourists . That's another thing I would save with time travel. The last thing I could do is go back in time and make myself the most perfect creature on the face of this planet. If I do that, I could make myself act nicer and ultimately become more successful. I could even do test I did bad on over again, even though that would be cheating. That's one of the last things I would do. Time travel is one of the coolest powers ever. I could stop bad people that stole lots of important things. I could go back and fix a statue that would of been broken for many years. I could even fix my ways and become a better person. That's what's I would do if I could time travel. I also must be sure not to give myself a high five. That might destroy the fabric of space and time.

What Superpower Would I Have?

By Savannah Simon

If I could have one super power, I would choose to Shapeshift. You can do so many things by Shapeshifting. You'd be the master of Hide And Seek, not have to face annoying siblings, be the scariest Zombie on Halloween, and much more!

One thing I would love about having a Shapeshifting power is that you would be the master of Hide And Seek. Hear some one near you? You turn small! Are you the seeker? Become a Bear when you see them! Every time you would win! You could get a medal, “Best Hide And Seek Player Ever!” Hide and seek would become my favorite game ever!

If I had a Shape Shifting power, I could prank people like a boss! When you do pranks you usually have to hide from them. Not for me! I could even stand right next to them! Ahhhh…. A prankers dream. I could be invisible and tap their shoulder, “Who's there?” They would ask in fright. They might start believing in ghosts though. Ooo spooky!

I bet everybody has once thought, “My brother/sister is SO annoying!” Well fear no more! If they are annoying you while you're reading your prized book, then turn invisible and go read somewhere else. Another option is to turn into a dragon and roar, “LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” If they keep saying play with me then you could turn into a sloth and say, “Iiiiimmmmmm………….coommmmmiinggg….” There face will sure turn Fire Truck red!

If I could shapeshift Halloween would be my favorite time of year! I could look however I wanted to. I could be a Vampire, Zombie, or an Alien. I would look so convincing I could work in a Haunted House attraction yelling, “AAAGGGHHH!!!!”, “ I VANT to SUCK your BLOOD!”, “Braaaiiinnnsss…” And terrifying everybody. I usually think it's rude to do this next one, but some people go to houses twice, but have different costumes to trick the owners…. I could do this and not have to buy another costume by shapeshifting, but I wouldn't because what if I take all their candy and other kids can't get anymore?

When I grow up I could become a Scientist. You might be asking, “What?” but if I become one I could learn about animals better. Scientists would have to be next to them or set up cameras to learn about their ways, but I could become any animal I choose to study. I would learn the ways of the Wolf, or learn how mother Deer protect there young. Since I am fascinated by animals this would be a very fun, but dangerous, job for me to do.

If I could shapeshift I could have other powers like flying, breathing underwater, and turning into animals. I could grow wings, or better yet, just turn into a bird! Since I adore the ocean I could turn into a hungry Shark, a playful Dolphin, or a little, little Fish so I can explore the Deep Blue. A Shape Shifting power would be like a, “Buy one get one free!” deal.

I have always loved the idea of flying. When I have a dream that I'm flying I think about that dream and try to experience it again. It feels so real when I'm dreaming. Whenever I go to bed I always think, “ Please be a flying dream, please be a flying dream!” But if I have a Shape Shifting power, I could become a bold Eagle, a watchful Owl or an elegant Phoenix.

Having a Shapeshifting superpower would be AMAZING because I could accomplish so many things with it. I would do anything to be granted this power.

Invisibility By Megan Sinkar

If you could have any superpower what would it be? For me I would want to have invisibility. I think it would be able to help me a lot life. I could escape danger, I could sneak away in the night or day, and I could do good deeds and there is many other thing I could do with invisibility. So here are some reasons why I would love to have the power of invisibility.

First of all, danger I would be able to escape danger. Then when my life is in risk I could run away and no one could be able to see me. Also I could just flee when I am in a bullying situation. That also means I can cause mischief with invisibility. That would be cool like to prank someone! Like to go up to someone when it’s snowing and throw a snowball, he wouldn’t know who did it!

Second, would be sneaking away, I’m already pretty good at sneaking things, but I could be better if I had invisibility. I mean who doesn’t want to sneak out at night. That also means I can escape chores that would be amazing! And best of all I could escape when my mom is angry that would be entertaining. Then if I am mad at someone then I could glide away myself so win win.

And finally good deeds, I could save people from danger if I am invisible. Also if other people do good deeds then I could reward them with something. So I could help animals from going extinct. I could help people in need, like old people. I could be a hero but nobody would know it was me! That’s amusing just thinking about it.

In conclusion if I could have one superpower in the world it would be invisibility. I would be able to do many different things than any ordinary humans. I would be able to do many fun things with the power of invisibility. I could do some fun things or serious things or mischievous things. I could help people or animals in need, I could sneak away, and I could escape danger. And that would be majestic! Time Manipulation By Callie Spengler

Have you ever wanted to go back in time and change something you said or did? Well,I know I have. With time manipulation you can stop time and erase all the miserable thing that you might have done too. Well, that’s called time manipulation. This power can be very formidable, you can use it to save lives, provide protection, and be helpful in many ways. With time manipulation, you could be the ruler of time and do whatever you wish.

Time manipulation can be generously helpful. It is a very strong power. It can erase things in the past that you regret. You can get away from treacherous and perilous jobs like grueling chores. You know what to look forward to in the future since the power includes time travel, and you can always be early and still sleep late. You can reverse mistakes and undo the past.

If I had time manipulation, I would choose to save people from dangerous accidents. I could prevent things from happening. Let's say that I am about to get into a dreadful car accident. Knowing this ahead of time and having the power to travel back within seconds, could change the domino effect of a totaled car, possibly dead people, and even the countless consequences that accompanies a serious accident. Also, I could warn someone from something that might happen that is either good or bad. Lastly, time manipulation saves lives by being able to freeze time so you can easily get away.

With time manipulation I could protect myself from anything bad. I can stop time and get away. Wherever I am, I could go back in time or in the future so I am always prepared for what's going to happen. Finally, I can protect myself or anybody else by erasing the past or future to make things better.

In conclusion, time manipulation is the best superpower ever. You can do so many different things with it: stop time, travel to the future and the past, erase things that you might regret, and lastly, control everything in time. I would love to have time manipulation as my superpower, but mostly because I could help save lives and make the world a better place day by day. Superpower By: Shrina Thakkar

If you could have any superpower what would it be? If Someone gave me a choice it would be invisibility. I think that it would help a lot in life, here are some reasons why I chose invisibility out of all the superpowers in the world.

First of all getting out of things easily, I could get out of going to school, danger, and doing chores. The reason why I would want to refuse going to school is because school is boring the teachers make you sit in class for like one thousand hours and make you do so much work. Next, I could get out of being killed easily, I think the right time to turn invisible is when the person who is trying to kill me is telling their depressing story about how they became evil. And lastly, easily getting out of doing chores, whoever loves chores is out of their mind I don’t think anyone hates chores more than me. If my mom told me to do chores for one whole day I would definitely run away because chores is basically doing work and my superpower would be broken.

The next thing I could do when I’m invisible is be a rewarder. It’s pretty obvious by the name, a rewarder is person who rewards things to people for passing things like a really hard exam (the SOLs) and things like promotions. When people pass a really hard exam they basically get nothing but a good grade and satisfaction. I’m not saying that a passing grade is nothing but a good grade is not really a prize and I think that people that pass a really hard exam they should get something like a prize for doing really good. Promotions are really good, they mean that you are taking a big step forward and moving into something more advanced and when you get a promotion all you get is a few claps and that is just horrible ( in a sassy voice) I think that people should really get a prize for doing something so good that they move up into advanced stuff and so that is why I want to be an invisible rewarder.

And lastly, I don’t like being bullied, I don’t think anyone likes being bullied it’s just wrong and if I’m being bullied in front of like one million people it’s embarrassing and usually people who are being bullied don’t do anything about it they just stand with a scared face on so i’ve decided that if I ever get bullied bad then I could try to stand up for myself and not exactly fight back but kind of argue back with the person and if that doesn’t work then I could turn invisible and pretend that nothing ever happened and pretend like everything's normal.

If I ever had a superpower it would be invisibility because I can get out of things easily, be a rewarder, and if being bullied turn invisible. I think that being invisible is really cool and awesome and you can get out of things that you don’t want to do.

Force Field

By: Jacob Wimmer

My teacher asked the class to pick any superpower we want, and after about fifteen minutes of research I decided to pick a force field for three reasons. One is total privacy. Two is blocking annoying people and sounds. Three to have a little fun with pranks. Those are the reasons of my wish for a force field.

Total privacy is important in my life. No matter where I go I'm being followed. At my house the only place for privacy is my room but with six people living in our house until summer. the craziness doesn't end. With a force field no one can get near me or my belongings. Now total privacy will be all mine.

Annoying people and sounds are a big roadblock to my life. With a force field I can easily block those people and noises around me. Super loud tailgates, not a problem. Screaming sisters, taken care of. Windy nights, are now silent nights. Just those times where nothing is good to be around.Those problems are now gone but only for me.

If somebody is getting on my nerves then I can use my force field for little pranks. The first one I thought of was the invisible wall. They will act like mimes with the invisible wall trying to get out. The second one I thought of is for the game tag. People will be trying to get me but they cannot do it because of the force field. Those are some of many pranks that I can pull.

There are many more things a force field is good for. Those are my main three reasons for having force field. Now I can block people and sounds like my grandparents or sibling. Maybe even have a little fun. That is why I want a force field.

Superpower By Srija Doma

Have you ever wanted a superpower? I would, if I got to choose I would choose mind control. I chose this superpower because I thought “what if someone was keeping a secret from the police because someone came and frightened them” Who would be there to save them? Three things I could help people with mind control are to save people, sense and prevent danger, and see if anyone is having any trouble with anything!

First, if I could have mind control I could tell if someone needed help with doing the right thing because some people try to do the right thing but, end up doing the wrong thing instead. So then we will not have any things that will make a big change! And if I had mind control I could probably get to save people. Maybe I could see and talk to people in their mind who needed help. I could probably talk to them in their mind and if they live far try to give them directions to get out of that situation safely.

Next, if I had mind control I could tell if someone was in danger. I could read their mind if there was a crime that they knew about. I could also tell if they had a problem in their life which I could help them with and if their was a problem which I was included in, I could try to solve it. And if I was once was in the same place that they were in I could try to try to help them in a place where they were not allowed to have people with them, like court.

Last, I could save people’s life. If someone was going to hurt someone I could warn them about doing the right thing and could of warned the target. If there was a crime I could stop them. If someone was going to do something dangerous like a suicide I could try to stop them. I can also save them if someone was going to hurt them.

And at the beginning you must have thought why I chose this superpower now it seems like you know why I chose this superpower!
