Mmmm….Tom Welling, the modern day embodiment of a young Superman, WB style. I’m working my way through the first season of Smallville thanks to Netflix. I have to admit, I didn’t anticipate liking the show very much but I’m really getting into it. Plus, I’ve always had a crush on John Snyder (for you younger readers, he used to play Bo Duke in the original Dukes of Hazard).Anyway, Smallville got me thinking about super powers. The age old question: What would you want as a super power? Very interesting topic to think about. Would you want speed? I would love to be able to maximize my sleep quotient by being able to get to work faster than the speed of light. X-ray vision? In the original Superman, the writers made it seem he could see under clothes. But the way Smallville portrays it is as an actual x-ray machine, to be able to see through walls, boxes etc. Either way, I’m not really interested. Super strength? Not really the best thing to have as a golf professional. I don’t need to hit the ball farther than Tiger Woods. So what would I want as a super power? Man, I’m not sure now that I think about it. Having a super power would have its upsides and downsides. Would I want a power that would make me money? Would I want to help people, heal the sick? I’m not sure; I just hope I never find my Kryptonite.

I would want to be able to go invisible. See then I can find out what people say about me on my back. Also, I could actually have lunch or dinner with women who wouldnt go out with a visible me. Thats what I want.
I have never nor will I ever watch this show. Too childish for my taste.
See, I thought it would be too childish for me too. But
I'm telling you it's great! It's more sci-fi than I thought. I personally would not want to be invisible. I don't want to know what people say about me.
I would love the be able to fly. I don't think that there would be anything better than me.
Golf Question: Why do I have a hard time with the three and four iron. My handicap is about 7 at the moment.

I would like super powers. I would win the world bowxing championship, which would then create a panty dropping power. Also it would be good to just move someone's car if I couldn't find a parking spot.
Had to reply since I think I am the biggest fan of Smallville in the valley. I head to my friends' house to watch it every Thursday at 9. And if you are only on Season one, let me tell you it gets better with every season.
We only get to choose one superpower?
Because I would like to have ALL of Superman's powers.
If I have to choose only one, invulnerability would make life much easier. Imagine base jumping without a shoot, or really doing any sport without fear of getting hurt. You would be the best in the world because you could just push yourself that much harder.
