Reader Poll: Super Powers

actiondood.jpg

This weekend I made trading cards for imaginary action figures. What? Don't worry... there's a rational explanation: I tend to twist napkins into bizarre shapes when I'm at restaurants, so I thought "why not do something with these creations?" Bestowing them with super powers and forming our own little society seemed to be the obvious choice. So I ask, what super power do you wish you had? (keeping in mind that immortality is cheating).

I'd love flight or invisibility... but given literary problems with invisibility (see: The Ring of Gyges, The Hollow Man, The Invisible Man, etc), I think I'd choose flight.

Fargis & his crazy golf crap... I think I'd pick the ability to make others disappear... without a trace.

you DO realize, a 7 iron has the ability to make others disappear without a trace, right?
