Maybe what I need is the power to function within reality?

Good grief - that's not a super power!! That's just plain impossible!

I would want the ability to zap noisy things, people, cars, machinery, music, etc. to "silence" for some period that I determine.

I bet ZP would like this one too.

Invisibility would be awesome. Then I could go out without worrying what I look like.


No one would know I was there, and wouldn't bother me.

I'd be an invisible shape-shifting heroine (that word is just so wrong!) that can commune with animals.

See, if you do some shape-shifting, it'd be very handy to be able to become invisible as well. Ever seen the trouble Superman had to go through to get into his things? Having to find a phonebooth, or revolving door...

And I'd have a cat as my side-kick, so it would be handy to be able to talk to him...

No need for super powers for this one, just a bit of magic to cast a zone of silence.
I've wanted it for quite some time too.
Not specifically about the SHUMS, but more about those damned teenagers who seem to have lost the concept of earbuds to listen to their music and appreciate it with a correct sound quality ...

I found a specific power from Mutant X (or as my wife and I call it Mutton X) to be very interesting in its possibilities :
density control
Which means being able to be super-dense (with a completely functional brain) and withstand gunshots and stabs without any problem or being able to pass through walls at will.

Other than that, teleportation and telepathy are cool.

But the drawback is you'd have to be naked - clothing would be a giveaway.
Not good for cold weather missions.

I know in the movies the clothing goes invisible too; but it doesn't work like that in real life.

Bah... Supes was just being polite (a throwback to his modest upbringing). With his super-speed, he could change in the middle of Broadway and no one would see him.

Okay, even if not at super-speed, people on Broadway would barely notice...

I was going to say, even in slo-mo would anyone on Broadway even slow down to looK?
