That old "Which Superpower" question

[Ferret]

Try to explain those tentacles to your 'lois lane'. Of course she might like them....

First, for a man of my persuasion, it'd be Lois, not Louis. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Second, Shapechange, baby. The tentacles would be gone before she knew it.

And third, my wife knew long before we got married about my desire for a prehensile tail; this is only one step removed.

I picked invulnerability, even though I've never been in a situation where I would have needed it. Just seems like a darn useful power to have when you do need it, though. Mind Control ain't gonna do squat when a drunk driver loses control and blindsides you, fr'ex.

That said, the other power that would be quite attractive would be super-intellect. I'm talking Reed Richards-level ability to make wacky machines that violate all known laws of physics. Talk about a power that's undervalued in the comics...

Doesn't that grey substance contain lead for just that purpose ? Lead blocks X-Rays.

Sorry...

Now there are many other instances where X-rays could be useful. Many.

I think my probability control is better. It's 100% certain the next 10 tickets are all winning tickets.

Flight. A close second is teleportation, but I've always been of the mindset that while going places is important, the journey is the best part. And what better way to go than to fly?

First time you gotta fly somewhere in the rain you're going to wish you'd asked for teleportation, am I right?

No, actually, not at all. I love storms. I wouldn't be stupid enough to fly in a hurricane, or a lightning storm, but I'd love to fly in a nice rainstorm.

Of course, speed is also a factor. Flying at walking speed would be a little sad, but still fun.

. . . and God, all you mind control people still freak the hell out of me. That power is one of the most evil things I could imagine.

There is no such thing as Mind Control.

Mind control! Is there a greater power than enslaving others with the supreme force of your will?!
