Some friendly advice coming from someone who writes technical documents - if people don't follow your instructions properly, it's your problem and not theirs.
How would it be my fault? I clearly posted in the first post of this topic what this topic was asking others to post.
(And I realize that may have sounded slightly hostile, but was not done with hostilities in mind).

I never assigned fault. From a technical writer's point of view, it is my job to succinctly write directions that people can understand and follow without them being misunderstood. If I don't, then I didn't do my job correctly.
More than one person has misconstrued your meaning, so obviously there's a problem somewhere. (Saying things like "Ugh, you people" isn't going to fix it either.) Those were the points I was making.
If powers were real, I would chose the ability to convey image and context with spoken (and written) word. That way no one could ever misunderstand my meaning - perfect communication.
Lol, you did it wrong too SuperHiro. It's not what power's you'd choose to have. Choice plays no matter in what I'm asking. It's more like what characteristics or things do you do now that could be considered a power if powers were real.
One thing I do is have a lot of deja vu, where I dream about something and it comes true at some point in time. Thus, if powers were real, that could be seen as the ability to have precognitive dreams.
Please correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe that what Destined is looking for is: what ability do you already have that could possibly be considered a power on the show, if that power were enhanced or augmented?
Aha, I understand what you mean now. "If Powers Were Real, Which One(s) Would You Have" made me think if I could choose a power from Heroes in real life, what would I like to have? I think what you're really asking is "What's your real life super power?"
Since there's a thread for this, I'm merging this one with the original.
i can make a bowl of ice cream in a snap, im the fastest ice cream scooper you have ever seen!
and the other is to solve complex puzzles in a short amout of time. i solved a rubik's cube in 35 seconds... thats my record..... and i can solve a 5x5 rubik's cube in about 6 minutes
i solved a rubik's cube in 35 seconds... thats my record
Pssh, that's nothing, I can do it in 1 second. Mind you, it feels more like 3 days to me, but it'd be 1 second to you because time is stopped when I do it.
I'm a walking movie encyclopedia. For some reason I have always been really good with films. I can tell you about almost any movie, whether I've seen it or not. I'm pretty good at playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon as a result.
I have extremely low level--as of yet--psychic abilities. Better than average awareness, empathy, insight, etc. For now it's just a notion of a super power, but after time...who knows?
I have a quite useful one: parking lot karma! It is the ability be pulling up the aisle just as the spot closest to the door* opens up.
I also have the reinforced cranium mentioned earlier in this thread. Nobody wants a head-butt from me! (It was the one reliable weapon I had against my older brother growing up, and it has served me well through the years - protecting my fragile brain from errant softballs, golf balls, tree branches, etc!)
* (Or the spot closest to the cart corral if my car-seat bound 6 month-old is in the car; less carrying = less strain on Daddy's bad back!)
