Challenge 41: Super power

218. What super power you would choose

Have you ever wanted to be, look, talk, act like someone else? I have. With this power I have, I am able to be anyone that I choose to be. The super power I have is the same power the mutant Mystique, from the X-Men movies, has. I can transform into whoever I want for whatever purpose for as long as I want, as long as I turn back into my original form (which is me at the moment, not a blue mutant) from time to time.

I would use this power in times of trouble, when someone is going to make the wrong choice. I would transform into them and make the right decision for them, or what I think would be best for the greater good of humanity. I would also use this power to play pranks on my friends every now and again; transforming into a teacher and scolding them for something absurd, or transforming into a super cute guy and asking one of them out (nah, just kidding about that; that would be way too mean). With this power, I would be able to do anything I wish as I can transform into the richest man in the world, to the poorest beggar on the streets. Transforming into someone who lives a more difficult life than me, would allow me to see how other’s live their life. For instance, if I did transform into a rag picker, I would learn to appreciate all that I have and would realize how fortunate I am. This may even lead to me transforming into someone very wealthy to organize a fund raiser for these unfortunate people. By transforming numerous times into numerous different people, I would be exposed to many different working styles and life styles. This would allow me to know what I want to be and how I want to live my life.

Although it might be tempting to transform into a person living a luxurious, easy, life; I would rather choose to be me for most of the time. Every now and again, as I face obstacles and wish to be like someone else, I will do so, and realize that they face obstacles of their own as well. Being me would be my priority, but if a little change is needed, that would be okay too.
