Blog Assignment 8a

If I could choose to have one superpower, it would definitely be telepathy.  I would want the kind of telepathy possessed by Professor Xavier in X-Men.  Professor X has the ability to perceive the thoughts of anyone.  This means that he can learn almost anything he wants by invading someone's mind and taking information out.  I would use this ability to read the minds of MIT professors and become a genius.  I would also take information from the minds of my professors so that I wouldn't have to study.  Since i could borrow knowledge from anyone, the possibilities are endless.  In a short matter of time I would become the smartest person in the world.  Professor X also has the ability to project his own thoughts into anyone else's mind.  This means that he can control the thoughts and actions of other people.  I would do my best to use this ability for good things, such as convincing corrupt political leaders to step down and to persuade Lil' Wayne to stop making music.  But, I would probably also do the occasional bad thing with it as well, such as convince rich people to give me money, even though I will probably be making enough money with all my genius writings since I will be the smartest man alive after acquiring so much knowledge from other people.

I am very drawn to Professor X for having this power.  He is one of my favorite superheroes do to his incredible abilities to manipulate the minds of those around him and to read other people's thoughts.  I respect how he uses these powers for good, and for how he also helps other mutants understand there powers
