Choose a super power

[BoliDan]

I recently made it to the third interview of a high profile job within the technology field.

They want to know you are able to care for databases but also want you to network with people.

This interview threw me through a loop by hammering me with logic and professional questions, and then all of a sudden asking me which super power I would prefer to have. T

I chose teleportation so that I could get to work on time without commuting and they were throughly unimpressed. Rightly so. 

Fine... it's the third interview, I'm glad I made this far, but 3 interviews is getting ridiculous, hire me or bugger off, at this point...

So, tell me, what would be your super power? Is mine as bad as they made it feel?

Time travel.

Or super intelligence, so I could eventually invent time travel and also still have the super intelligence. 

[Goose]

Superior skills at any sport - Then I'd play (Insert any high paying sport) for a living and land those endorsement deals.  

[Auspaul]

Wisdom

[SirVantes]

The power to achieve everyone you desire, without knowing that you have that super power so that you go through life thinking it’s all earned like a mere mortal. No existential angst trap. 

[99call]

I'll go with China

It’s hard to decide on a superpower for myself, maybe flying. 

It did make me think of this though (sorry for the poor link, no idea how to embed a video)

Telekinesis.  Just like Professor X.

One of my least favorite characters, yet the powers are the most appealing.

[Islandboy]

Resistance to hangovers...hoping it kicks in before I awake. 

[HarveyBoulevard]

Invisibility 

[Colt45]

Selective midas touch.

Ability to see the future - so you can pick those winning lottery numbers and not need a job. 

[Drguano]

Xray vision!

[JGD]

Being extremely wealthy. Just like Batman and Tony Stark...

[Fuzz]

Reality Manipulation, the ability to warp reality to my will. Need money? Just create it. Late for work again? Rewind time. Drank the last beer? Oh look, a bottomless beer stein. Kid's pet hamster died? Zombie hamsters. Someone just picked a cooler power than yours? Delete their post... oh wait, I already have that power. 

[SigmundChurchill]

Super, indestructible telomeres, so I remain young and healthy forever (or at least a couple hundred years).

[slowsmoke]

Stop time.  Just imagine what you could get away with.

[HumidorJuan]

The power of precise statistics.  Example: currently there are 11,872 fake behikes being sold online haha

Mind reading. So I can finally figure out what women want! Maybe then I can get some peace and quiet!

You may not want to know......

[BarryVT]

I too have to go with mind reading. It would be great in sales, or negotiations in closing the big deal.

[Stump89]

Flight, like superman style.  Gotta be amazing.  Then, be indestructible. Because I'd end up flying into a bunch of stuff lol.

[JoeyBones777]

The ability to absorb others' superpowers, like Peter from Heroes. This needs no further explanation. ?

[avaldes]

“The ability to pretend that I give a sh**t about your stupid ass interview questions.” In my book that is just plain unprofessional and a waste of both people’s time.

[SenorPerfecto]

Mind control
