If I could choose to have one superpower it would be teleportation because it would be cool to just want to go somewhere and then be there. The negative aspect of this would be to get somewhere at the wrong time and then something bad would happen. Jem's superpower is cool but would also not be very cool. She has to look at the people she loves the most and see when they are going to die, that would be so terrible. In comparison to Jem's superpower, we both could be with someone or be somewhere we don't want to be.

The super power that I would like to have is to be able to read peoples minds. Why I would want this super power is because then if I were to bring something up to someone I would know if they are lying to me and then I would know if I could trust them. The negative aspect of this would be finding out things I wouldn't want to know or hearing things that should not be heard. Comparing this to Jem's super power, we both would to know things that we didn't want to know. For example, she gets to find out when other people are going to die. I feel like it would effect me the same way that it affects her. I would really have to debate on whether or not I would tell people that i know what they are saying.

If I could have any superpower it would to be to see if someone is talking behind your back or not . I always feel like someone is talking about me or being mean to me with other people. The negative aspect of this superpower is now a days I wouldn't have any friends if I had this superpower now days. But it would be amazing to have this superpower but then again it wouldn't at the same time because you would have no friends.

I would want to be able to see my own numbers that way i knew when i was going to die. Now of days i wouldn't have friends because nobody would want to be my friend because they would know when i was going to die and no one wants to have a friend getting ready to die! Jem knows when every body else is gonna die but no one knows that! Also Jem can't see her own number!

If I could choose to have a super power it would be telipathic . The good part about it is that you can always know what is going on in there head. The bad part is that you would hear all the bad things that people talk about you. Mine and jems superpower are the same because you know what will be happening the bad part it that you don't want to know and it be hard on you of knowing.

I would want to read people's minds, because I would want to know what people are thinking about me and to do what people like without making them mad. I would also want this because if someone needs help and doesn't want to say anything to anyone, I could help them. This would be a bad thing if someone was saying bad things about me, I would get mad and say something or do something bad. This is related to Jems power because you can see close things about people's life's but the only difference is she can tell when people die and I can see what people are thinking.

If I had one superpower, I would choose shapeshifting. The upside of that would be that you could change into anything you want. Say you want to lose weight/gain more muscle, or turn into an animal (for whatever reason). You could easily transform however you like. The main problem with shapeshifting is that if you change into an animal, you also change the size of your brain for that animal. So for example, if you shapeshift into a weasel, now you only have a weasel-size brain, which means you can forget that you know how to shapeshift back, unless you had a time limit on your shapeshift. Compared to Jem's power, they could both be used to mingle with personal affairs. Mine could be used to transform into a different person, and get information that I wouldn't normally get, similar to how Jem sees personal death dates.

If I could have one super power I would choose the power to fly. Not only would it be cool but it would come in handy a lot, not to mention all of the gas money I would save. With almost every super power, there is usually a negative aspect of having it. Once you were to get the power to fly, it is automatically up to you to help and save people. You would always feel obligated to help those in need and would be on the go most of your time. It is difficult to compare being able to fly to Jem's power of seeing the date of people's deaths on their foreheads. If you could fly, you could try to save someone from dying but sometimes trying just isn't enough. Another plus of having the ability to fly is being able to literally say, "The sky is the limit."

If I could have one super power it would be to read peoples minds. I like to know what people are thinking and if they are talking about me so this would be beneficial to me. The down fall to this would be literally knowing everything people are thinking. Sometimes I don't need to hear every single thing about someone's life. To compare this to Jem's power they're kind of the same concept. I could see what people are thinking and she could know when we were going to die. Both kind of has to do with the mind in a way.

I would like to have the strength of a 100 men. this would help me obtain many goals i have set and would enable me to break them in a mere instant. not only is super strength helpful, it is really cool and fun. the only down side to super strength is less mobility and the movement of many joints in the body. super strength would not be a good comparison to Jem's power. both superpowers stated are complete opposites in all aspects and have zero relative aspects.

My super power would be to read minds. I want to know what people are really thinking. I want to know if they are lying to me. The problem with it would be if they are lying to me i would know and i wouldn't be able to trust him anymore.
