If you wrote a book and your main character had a special power what would that power be?

Answer 1

If I were a writer, I would love to write about a time traveler--she would go back to the 1700's or so and almost get burned at the stake for being a witch (because of the things she knows as a 20th century person).

I also think a story about someone who can read minds could be fascinating.

Or how about writing a story about a person with the ability to heal others with a touch of her hand?

I'm weird, huh?

Answer 2

Hands down....I'd wish for the power to make the worlds of imagination that I and others created real places that would then run autonomously and randomly from there. I've read some super fabulous books that got me daydreaming long after I finished reading them. I always wondered what it would be like if those worlds could be made real and self-perpetuating, and I could visit and re-visit, as either a catalyst, an observer, or both.

Answer 3

A few abilities from the book I'm writing:

Heat Vision

Photographic Memory

Speed up thoughts so fast the world seems to stop
.

Answer 4

The power to read minds

Answer 5

You tell us - You're the "Wizard".


P.S. I was a big fan of that "Q" character from Star Trek The Next Generation - that is before those "unimaginative writers" cut his infinitely powerful and ubiquitous abilities into digestible human-size shreds.

Answer 6

Which one? I have one character who has magic abilities, another who has cosmic abilities, and a third who is a techno-organic, and has a multitude of strange abilities.

And to top things off, she's five months pregnant.

Answer 7

The power of healing.

Answer 8

To be invisible so that my character would be the world's best thief.

Answer 9

I've always thought it would be cool to fly. Not very original, I know, but that's what I'd like.

Answer 10

mind control
