classified as SUPER.

Each of us has a secret fantasy, to be anything we have ever wanted to be, a SUPERHERO. Sure we all have experienced this dream, all least once. Wished that one day we could have the power of the incredible Hulk, the feeling of swinging from city skyscrapers like Spiderman, or receiving the famous skylight to the call of our destiny.

Each superhero has something unique about them, whether it’s the ability to fly, super strength, or just their presence when they swoop in just in time to save the day. One thing in common with most of them, is that one of their most sacred things, is their identity. It’s the one thing they value most, to keep a secret.

It puzzles me as to what abnormal power I would like to inherit if I were a superhero. There are several, each with various purposes and justifications. Such things like flying, reading minds, traveling back in time, and a great deal more. As humans we have created many contraptions, hoping one day that we could eventually fly. Sure, we have airplanes, but we don’t get to actually enjoy the experience as we are sitting in uncomfortable seats, getting rather annoyed by the crying baby behind us, and glimpsing our watches every 10 minutes counting down the dreadful hours . It would be beyond extraordinary to leap up towards the cloudless sky, going places further than our imagination.

Mind Reading. Not only would this be a huge advantage against your opponent, but it would go far in life as well. You would be able to know so much, from grasping what move your opponent will strike next, answers, or thoughts that just happen to be running through individual’s minds. If a citizen is in need of aid, you can hear their thoughts for help. The only downside of this, is the many chaotic noises you would pick up from peoples’ judgements, that once all combined, would get utterly annoying. A system would be needed to figure out how to block the unnecessary and unwanted views.

Then there’s time travel. How many times have you wished you could simply redo something at your best effort, or take back many of the guilty regrets you retain? With time travel you can re encounter the past, making the foreseeable future brighter. You would be capable to journey to a great extent back in history as well as the distant future. You could save many citizens warning them about near disasters and defeat villains by traveling back in time, in case you mess up.

We all want to be super. The dictionary defines a superhero as a benevolent fictional character, with superhuman powers, such as superman. In my opinion all superheros’ are not fictional. They can be people as simple as you and me. Whether it’s someone working at a homeless shelter, going to build wells in Africa, or helping those in need. So, maybe we all can’t fly, or lift the weight of a car on our shoulders, we don’t need powers to be super, we need self-power that will drive us to do wonders that benefit others positively.
