What Super Powers Would Be Most Useful at Work?

We've all been asked that one simple question, "If you could have any super power in the world, What power would you have?" But has anyone really thought through the practicality of it? Here is a quick list of the top 5 Super Powers that would be useful at work.

Number 5 Psychic



Being Psychic would be a great Super Power to use at work, I mean you could do what your boss wants before he asks you and you could do it how he wants, eventually making you employee of the universe. Also it would get you to the top in society going from good job, to better job, to great job, eventually leaving you rich and successful. Word of warning though, it may be best not to tell your Boss about your "abilities" as he may not appreciate you reading his thoughts.


Number 4 Duplication



Everyone gets caught with those hard labouring tasks like, assignments and shelf stacking, if only there were more people helping. With Dupkication, you would be able to get your work finished in no time and still take all the credit. This however also has its share of draw backs such as the case of, what if you forget who the real "you" is, or even if one of your clones gets you fired. You could also come across one of your clones making out with that co-worker you were meaning to ask out.


Number 3 Telekinesis



The reason why Telekinesis is so useful, is because it can be easily underused. In X-Men, Jean Grey uses her telekinesis to Save Mankind and Stop Magneto, but it could also have a more realistic useful purpose like; picking up your bag you left in the lobby, brining the item a customer asked for without leaving them or just stacking shelfs while sitting down. However you use it, Telekensis is very useful in the world of work.


Number 2 Strength



Every Career usually involves the occasional "Heavy Lifting", whether it's carrying heavy boxes or carrying a customers shopping to their car. Super Strength would be a great asset in work.


Number 1 Super Speed OR Time Manipulation



I couldn't completely decide between these two, but since they would be useful for the same reasons, I think they both deserve the top spot. Need a report completed? Deadline approaching?, not if you could freeze time, or had Super Speed. Imagine racing through your work within microseconds and then taking the rest of the week off. Also These abilities would prove most fun and useful outside of work as well for a number of reasons.

I hope you enjoyed my list of the Top 5 work based super powers, Leave a comment of what your choices would be and leave a reason why

Super speed and strength would be good. I could get all the work done for my whole life and just chill for the rest of my life.

Cool article,
I would pick super speed, and not just cuz Flash is my favorite super hero since I was 6, but it happens to be it would be extremely useful for me as an emergency first responder.

The other powers on this list wouldent do me much good in that pericular field.

@Barnebeejones That was Cypher. He was incredibly useless. He died of the mutant virus. However, in the real world that power would be awesome.

I'd want the power to pause, rewind, and fast forward. You know how useful that'd be?

I think it all depend on your type of work.
Dealing with people, psychi is good.
If you need to lift a lot then strength or telekinesis is good.
Work the required multitasking, speed or duplication.

I personally like power speed not just for work but everyday life situation.
Moonwalker1991
Moonwalker1991 - 11/16/2011, 1:36 PM
Speed. Telepathy. Strength. Those are my top 3. I'd probably go with Telepathy. It'd definitely make finding a date A LOT easier than playin the guessing game.

Oh, and I almost forgot: Teleportation. The moment I get bored at school I can teleport to the other side of the world, do whatever I want. I think I'm going to watch "Jumper" later.Wish there was a sequel coming out for that movie.

I'm a bouncer so people would think that I'd choose super strength but I would take super speed in a heart beat! I could break up fights before anyone lands a punch, plus I could have super strength anyway by hitting the weights hard for a whole ten minutes at super speed now that would be awesome!

Don't even have to think about it-Duplication. Make several versions of me that can go work so I don't have to.

I would either want super speed or the ability to fly. As stupid as this sounds, I would totally visit friends and family more if I could fly.

Having the abilities of a psychic sound like a lot of fun, but on the other hand having super speed and time manipulation as a power would be awesome too! I would have to choose super speed and time manipulation. That is something I could really use as I could get many tasks completed in less time!

Batdan187 - 11/16/2011, 2:42 PM
The ability to control metal, as I work with metal, bending it at my will and if I had any shit I would crush my bosses pacemaker excuse for a heart into bits...

My choice would be the ability the John Travolta had in Phenomenon to learn new stuff quickly and retain it. I'd become the next Tony Stark/Bruce Wayne

I'm a desk clerk at a crappy motel, reading minds or duplication. Gotta know when people lie, or at least make more than one of me so one of us can stay the in office and the other can go check out whatever the cops were called for.

Total invincibility is the best power of all. Add a pinch of ambition, you're set for world/cosmic domination.

I know you'll get bored when everyone around you die and you'll probably live forever.
