The Power of Change

One of the things that I find to be a saving grace among the human race is our creative abilities. If it wasn't for that, we would be pretty boring people. And with this creativity comes imagination of things that could be. One such avenue of imagination has been that of the creation of superheroes with powers beyond that of a normal human being. Now seeing as comics are just fiction, we know that they aren't real. But wouldn't it be cool if one morning you woke up with a super power? It would be fun to speculate about it. The question is though, what super power would you like to have?

I have often liked to delve in to this question. In my digging I have come up with a few thoughts that I would like to share. First off, I believe that most people would answer, "I wish I had the power to fly." Now that is a pretty cool power. But in my quest for an answer, I have decided that the power to change in to anything I want would be something to marvel at. And seeing that I could change in to any form, I could become a bird, and fly to my hearts content (thus covering the power to fly). I find it to be a pretty useful power because it allows me to express myself as freely as I want. If I felt like being a lion, bam, I'd be a lion. Or even better, I could be a dinosaur (probably an ankylosaurus because it is one of my favorites). Now isn't that cool? I can just imagine a little boy saying, "look mommy, dinosaurs are still alive!" and the mom wondering what she is doing wrong in the education of her child (she obviously didn't see me as the dinosaur).

Now that I am on the subject of imagining what super power I would have, lets come up with a name to go along with that super power. (I might as well write my own comic book) Coming up with a name for someone that can alter their form has been a tough thing for me, but I believe a suitable name would be Quick Change. I'm sure there are better names, but I can't think of any right now. I would probably be a good guy, but I could see the possibility of me being on the darker side. I am always torn on this subject because both sides offer different perks. Although in most stories the good guys are able to thwart the bad guys. There are those times where I find myself identifying with one of the bad dudes though. Like I said, it's a hard decision to make, for me at least.

So that is the super hero I'd be. I know that it isn't an original super power that I would have, but that's not the point. The point was to explore what super power I would like to have. I have also thought about the power of teleportation. There are moments in my life where I get lazy, and I wish that I could just teleport myself to the location I would like to be at. That is one thing that made Nightcrawler in X-Men so sweet. Another choice I've explored recently would be the power to turn vehicles in to Transformers that would obey my command (I'd be able to change them back if they got out of hand). That is just a fanatic power though, but it's original. So how about them apples? What a journey this has been, but I love to imagine my life having the power to change in to anything I want. I've even written my own cartoon/comic about me being part of a super team and having that power. It is just one of those fun questions that people often like to ask, and I love to think about what my answer is. See it is that creativity that I mentioned before that keeps life interesting. I hate being bored.
