If I had a superpower.

Do you ever sit and think about silly things? Like if I had a superpower, I would choose the USA. Russia would be far too cold. Jokes – I would like to be able to fly, that would be quite fun. The only problem is I guess that invulnerability keeps you warm when flying. The very first tight turn I came to my puny little body would bend, stretch and snap. Also, wouldn’t you feel a little exposed when flying up in the sky on your own? It’s always nice to be in an aeroplane with some other people to keep you company.

X-ray vision would be cool, but I don’t know whether it would work through my glasses. It would be fairly useless to have X-ray vision without my glasses on; I would need to have my nose touching whatever I was looking at to be able to see it. That would be pretty disgusting. Of course, if I could use it with my glasses on what would I actually do with it? All I’d be good for is working at Heathrow or something.

I think you have to be sanguine about these things – superpowers aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be.
