Which would you choose?

It's something we've all thought about, ever since we were young. The question's been asked many times, by friends, by teachers on busywork "assignments." And it's fun to think about. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? There are so many to choose from, and so difficult to narrow the choice down to one. 
  1. Invisibility- This is always a popular choice. I mean why wouldn't you want it? You could go anywhere undetected. You could break into banks and steal money. You could sneak out to the Hollywood sign. You could even sneak into the opposite gender locker room, as we all know most guys would. It would be pretty sweet, in general.
  2. Super speed- Think Dash in the Disney movie The Incredibles. We all know it'd be awesome to be able to run so fast that you can run across water. You could get so many places so much quicker. And you could compete, that wouldn't be considered cheating, right?
  3. Super strength- Same as super speed, you could use it for competing. But everyday life would just be easier too. No need to ask someone to open that drink bottle or jar for you anymore. Need to rearrange your room? No problem, you can do it yourself. You would be able to get all those groceries in one trip. Just imagine the feeling of accomplishment.
  4. Flying- This could mean superman-esque, with just some sort of magic powering your flying, or even with wings. Both would be awesome. It's always been mans dream to fly, and we're on our way to achieving that, with planes, and skydiving, and jet-packs. But to just have the pure and simple ability to fly would be amazing
  5. Mind reading- This is the last major superpower I can think of. And in my opinion, the best. So often, I think the world would just be easier if I knew what people were thinking. I guess some of it could be considered cheating, like reading your teacher's mind for the answers. But other times it would be honestly beneficial. You could read politician's minds. You could read those on trial, their minds. You could even read your parents minds to know what they were going to ask you to do, do it before, and tadaa! Perfect child status achieved. How great would that be?
But remember, with great power, comes great responsibility. So choose wisely, and dream away.
