A question I get asked nearly every day - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

is, "If you were a super hero, Mom, who would you be?"

I also get, "If you could have any super power, Mom, what would it be?"

It stumps me every time. I think I would like super human strength, but I am afraid I would abuse that power. I do like the stretchy power of Mr. Fantastic/Elastigirl (The Incredibles). It certainly would have come in handy during childbirth. Being invisible would be cool, but I can only think of illegal things I would do with it. Probably the best would be Claire from Heroes. I'd like to be able to run through fire and jump off of buildings. And I could train for as many marathons as I wanted because any overuse injuries I experienced would heal in seconds.

So, what about you? What super hero would you be? Or, what super power would you have?

Truthfully I wouldn't want any of them. The temptation to abuse the power would probably do me in at one point or another. If I had to though I think I'd be one of those people that can run faster than the speed of light.

What environment do you hang out in that you get asked that question everyday. I though RS only met on Sundays.

The ability to never get tired.

At this point I'm thinking I'd like to be able to control the weather.

There's too much guano in this batgirl gig, anyway.

I'm content with the ones I already have.

Invisibility - you can learn a lot of useful information by not being noticed.
