      Oh wow – there’s lots to pick from isn’t there! I think being able to time travel would be very cool, it would be amazing to go back 80 or 100 or even 1000 years for a day just to see what it was like and how people lived. I enjoy reading about history so it would such an experience to go back in time and see what events we read about in history were actually like.

      I think a superpower of healing people would be more useful to others though – there are a lot of horrible diseases in the world that cause people a lot of pain, and to be able to help them would be an amazing thing to be able to do. Science has made huge leaps in getting rid of diseases that previously would have killed people or dramatically changed their lives, e.g. tuberculosis or smallpox, but we still have lots to do.
