DESIRED SUPER POWER: Omnifabrication: The ability to craft absolutely anything without hesitation - to be able to make my ideas come to life. No superpower would be off limits. Just draw up the schematics, build yourself the proper tool and voilà, you’ve acquired a new ability. Look out MacGyver and Tony Stark!

DESIRED SUPER POWER: Stop Time. The ability to stop time would be an incredible superpower. It would offer the opportunity to cherish moments with loved ones, savor experiences, and appreciate the beauty of life without the constraints of time rushing by. The desire to savor the precious moments that often seem to slip away too quickly would be amazing!

DESIRED SUPER POWER: I would want my superpower to be Power Absorption-Being able to feed off other strengths is the ultimate power. We all have our areas of strengths and weaknesses. It would be great to absorb power where I might lack strength….making me the perfect specimen.
