Grating Ratings: Super Powers
Ask anyone whether they would choose invisibility or flight, and it's an instant personality test. Generally, people who choose invisibility would do so for selfish reasons — to be able to do things without being seen.
- Flight: B Flight certainly seems like a fun super power to have, until you discover that you're flying through swarms of disgusting bugs that get stuck in your teeth.
- Healing Factor: B+ Definitely a nifty power to have in the comics when you're constantly getting beaten up, but I wouldn't really use this all that much in real life. I guess this would be better used on a professional athlete.
- Invisiblity: C I know that if I had invisibility, I'd get hit by a truck the first day . . . and you can't blame the driver for that.
- Luck: A+ If you've got luck on your side, what else do you need? This is the only obscure super power I included, but I tossed it in because I love Longshot.
- Superhuman Strength: B Strength is fairly basic, and you'd know how to deal with it. But superhuman strength could prove to be tricky. How many things would you crush accidentally?
- Telekinesis: A Now this is a super power for the truly lazy, so it's right up my alley. Just think of all the things you could do from your couch.
- Telepathy: A- Who wouldn't want to know what others are really thinking? The problem is whether or not you could control it, or if the thoughts of everyone within a certain radius would seep into your mind constantly. Try getting to sleep with that going on!
- Time Travel: C Time travel sounds like fun, doesn't it? But what would you do with the power? Travel forward or back? I guess I'm just content to stay where I'm at, just like everyone else.
Please feel free to leave a comment. What do you agree or disagree with, and why? Which items do you wish were included that I didn't cover here?

How about reality warping ?- a power you have accused me of wielding when I'm relating a humorous anecdote or two.

I'm not quite sure that's the phrase I used . . .
