I am almost positive each and every one of you, at some point in your life wished to have a superpower. I know I did. And still do. Whenever I asked somehow what kind of superpower they wished they had, almost unanimously I got the answer: the power of invisibility, so that I can sneak up on people and see if they talk about me. Come on people, get real. Don’t be so self centered. There is an easier way to know if someone is talking about you – telepathy!

Everything that’s related to the mind is OK in my book: telepathy, telekinesis. I am very fond of the supernatural, so it comes as no surprise that my favorite comics are the X-Men. They were created back in the day, in the 60s by Stan Lee  (writer) and Jack Kirby (artist). The story is simple (yeah right) – there were humans born with the mutant gene that granted them powers beyond the normal human abilities.

Cyclops shooting a highly powered optical beam from his eyes (hence the name optical), Jean Grey (once my favorite) having the power of telepathy and telekinesis, then at some point being the host of the Phoenix force, Wolverine – more of an animal than human, “equipped” with an adamantium skeleton, Rogue (touching her would be a major no-no), Storm (my favorite) who controls the elements of nature AND flies – top that! She rules, what can I say

If I had the choice of a superpower I would not know which would be from telekinesis/telepathy, control of the elements or breathing under water (would make my swimming so much easier).

But alas, since I can’t have any of those powers, I settle for being entertained by my favorite superheroes via comics, animated series and wikipedia – trust me, there’s an almost endless saga of characters, powers and storylines – don’t even get me started on the alternative timelines.
