Admit it – At some point in your life, you’ve run around the house in a cape, or at least thought about doing it. Don’t worry. No judgment here. There’s just something fascinating about superheroes that captures the imaginations of young and old alike. It’s fun to envision how different life would be if we developed superpowers of our own. Whether you’re a diehard superhero fan who attended the midnight premiere of “The Avengers” or you only know a little bit about superheroes, you’ve probably wished you had one of these 25 superpowers.
Is there a certain skill you wish you could be good at? Power mimicry would allow you to copy or absorb another’s powers or skills, so you could swim as fast as Michael Phelps, direct movies as impeccably as Steven Spielberg, or write as many best-selling novels as J.K. Rowling.Forget about Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak. With the power of invisibility, you could vanish in the blink of an eye using your mind. You could sneak out of the house without your parents knowing and play hilarious pranks on your friends without getting caught.With the help of superhuman strength, you’d have no problem winning the strongman game at carnivals, opening stubborn jars and bottles, lifting cars, breaking tiles, or performing other awesome acts without even trying. Being as powerful as the Incredible Hulk has its advantages.What if you had the power to heal? You could not only get rid of minor injuries like cuts and bruises, but also help ease the pain of people suffering from serious illnesses. Cancer, Alzheimer’s, and AIDs would all be history.Superhuman endurance allows those who possess it to exert themselves during activities without getting tired. With this power, you could run marathons, clean the house, and study for long periods of time with ease.If you had the power of water breathing, you could breathe underwater like a fish. You’d be able to scuba dive without bringing an oxygen tank and if you ever had to jump into a lake to escape an angry swarm of bees like Yogi Bear, you’d be all set.Invulnerability grants heroes immunity to one or more forms of physical, mental, or spiritual damage. If you possessed this power, you would never have to worry about getting beat up by bullies, mending a broken heart, or suffering from depression.Did the flux capacitor in your time machine break down again? No worries! You wouldn’t need a time machine if you possessed the power of time travel. It would be so cool to be a part of the crowd at Woodstock or visit your future self.Screw the flashlight app! With night vision, you would never stub your toe on the way to bed again because your eyes would always adjust to the dark. You could also read in the dark, which could come in handy during late-night study sessions if your roommate is asleep.Some friends can communicate through facial expressions, interpretive dances, or in other non-audible ways. But wouldn’t it be easier to develop the power of telepathy and communicate by reading each other’s minds? You could carry on secret conversations in public and no one would ever know.If you possessed the power of superhuman speed, you’d be able to run from Alaska to the tip of South America in less time than it took Kim Kardashian to divorce Kris Humphries. You’d be so fast, you could literally run circles around villains and make them too tired and frustrated to kill you.Omnilinguism is the ability to understand any form of language. You could travel around the world and never have to worry about a language barrier if you had this superpower. Plus, you’d ace every language class in school.If you had the power of atmokinesis, you’d be able to control the weather. Imagine being able to summon a snow day and get a day off or making sure the waves are just right and the water is the best temperature at the beach. Every day would be the perfect day.Remember how fun it was to climb between doorposts and walls as a kid? You could do it all the time with the power of wall crawling, which lets you adhere to solid surfaces, including walls and ceilings. Climbing up buildings like Spiderman and hanging from the ceiling like a bat sound pretty awesome.Precognition is the ability to predict the future. With this power, you could be the first to sense danger and save the day by battling ninja assassins, fire-breathing dragons, and other pesky villains before their diabolical plans take root.1 2
What? No telekinesis? That’s my dream power. Think of all the stuff you could do! You could get a drink from the fridge without having to get off the couch, you’d never need to ask a friend to borrow his pick-up truck when moving, you could move other jerks’ cars out of your parking spot, and you’d be able to have the benefits of several powers on this list–all in one convenient power!
Can’t believe teleportation didn’t make the cut
I know right!
What about empathetic mimicry like Peter (for all you heroes fans) you could have every one of these powers if you had empathetic mimicry. And I was surprised there wasn’t any telekinesis or electrokinesis (think of Elle) on the list. Yeah and Sylar is the best! Peace out hombres
i wish i could control time so that i can go to the future and see how it will be and go in the past and see how it was
Power Replicaton is the ultimate power. You can have all other powers!
What about powre repication (the power to copy other powers via skin contact) like Peter Petrelli only more than 1 at a time!
Intangiblity is my favorite. It’s like the ultimate “invisibility”. Food for thought: if a vilan was chasing you: two choices: be tangible but not seen or be seen and not tangible. If you ask me, I’d rather be seen but not tangible.. What’s the use of invisibility if you’re able to get captured?!
You forgot teleporthing! The ability to teleport from one place to another with a blink of an eye you would be there in a second. If you had this ability you won’t need an car, plane or an boot to get to places you want, this ability would save time and money. You will never be late for anything.
For all you people that say they should have teleportation i agree but if you can fly and have super speed then you dont need to teleport but im suprised that telekinisis didnt make it. Imaine what you could do, trip people over and more.
With great power comes great responsibility.

What bout earth and lightning , is that super powers?
You can control lightning with atmokinesis
it is too cool, i like it
I choose all of them.
They forgot Telekinesis! More useful then intangibility or flying. You could make SOMEONE ELSE fly if you wanted to, right into a wall…3 or 33 times…
not to mention you could simulate several of the other powers with it. Weather control, or pyrokinesis. You could technically move your own limbs LITERALLY with the will of your mind, get super strength. Give me that anyday.
What about shapeshifting?
Exactly what I was thinking
