Whatever superhero team you recognize, it sure is amazing to think that these fictional characters have superhuman abilities. Imagine if you have the strength of ten men, the ability to morph into whatever the heck you want to transform into, to become invisible or the ability to create fire... wouldn't that be AWESOME?! But we all know this is just fiction, so our wild imaginations are constantly slapped with the harsh truth. However for the sake of imagination, what if it IS possible to have these abilities, and you'd have the awesome chance to choose what your powers will be? What power would you choose or which character would you like to be?
If you'd ask me, I'd definitely, hands-down, with no second thoughts, choose Jean Grey's powers. xD
Jean Grey is a character from Marvel's X-men. Let me just share a few photos of her versions, for familiarization :)

Jean Grey's power is telekinesis. It is the ability to control things with your mind. Have you ever seen the movie Carrie? Yep, that's telekinesis.
In the most simple sense telekinesis is moving things using your mind: to throw objects, move things, hide something without you touching it or getting near it. Amazing, right? No one would know if you were the one who purposely spilled the hot coffee on the school bully xD
To give you a deeper sense of telekinesis, scientifically it is controlling matter using your brain waves. It is a psychic power. Jean Grey's telekinesis is so awesome she appears to be flying because she is able to lift herself up. With it she can also create barriers (shield). The most awesome part of her telekinesis however is that in time she was able to have telekinetic sensitivity. It's when she can feel matter (in a molecular level) in her immediate environment. Because of that she can manipulate matter even to subatomic level! How wicked is that? When I first obsessed about Jean Grey's power, I've always thought if she can manipulate matter to subatomic level, she can therefore affect literally EVERYTHING in the environment- the weather, the atmosphere, etc! She can control water and earth (move over, Avatar!) With that level of power, she is limitless. That's what I love about it.
Another awesome thing why I choose to have Jean Grey's power is that she also has telepathic abilities like Professor X. Telepathy is the ability to communicate through people's mind (imagine a mind chat) no matter how far they are. [Fun fact: Jean Grey is one of the few telepaths who can communicate with animals.] It is also the ability to read people's minds, affect their minds (like creating illusions, stunning them, taking away their memory or giving it back to them). It's just so awesome and scary at the same time. Imagine if someone has an access to your mind? You can't even let other people see your browse history, let alone your mind xD
And if you think that's all there is to Jean's telepathic powers, here's more: it also lets her see things at a distance(remote viewing). It's like being omnipresent through the mind. So for telepaths, the next time you lose your phone you can "browse" through the places using your mind, in order to find out where it is \m/ However for Jean Grey, this remote viewing is limited to places she is familiar with.

As awesome as these powers are, its dynamism totally depends on the skill of the person: how they can use and control their powers. When you are sick, your power is weak; when you are bothered, you won't be able to use your powers; when you have mood swings, your power may surge. Yes, I talk as if I have 'em xD

What's your choice of superpower?
