We decided to invite some of the CBM editors to share what mutant powers they thought were the best (and why they would want them) to celebrate the Blu-ray and DVD release of
X-Men: Days of Future Past, which hit retail outlets today. We also have copies of the film to share with two lucky readers! Find out how to win below!
CBM's Best Mutant Powers
MrSundayMovies
I would love to have all the powers of Quicksilver. In addition to super speed I'd be able to inexplicably appear in both the 20th Century Fox and Marvel Cinematic Universe films!

I guess the mutant power I'd like is Wolverine's healing factor. As for a reason, I guess it'd just be nice to not worry about getting hurt, at least not physically. You could literally live your life inhibition free and push yourself to the absolute max limit everyday without having to worry about whether or not your body can take it. As a fairly competitive athlete, that's very appealing, there wouldn't be a chance of getting sidelined, you could more or less compete or train to your heart's content. Also, with the potential to live longer, nothing should stop you from accomplishing and mastering whatever you set your mind to. I'd then also be able to claim "I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice" regardless of whether or not it appropriately applies to whatever I'm doing.
Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy Umm...I guess I'd most like Mystique's shape shifting powers. There isn't really any situation where that wouldn't come in handy, whether you wanted to become the President and change how a Country was being run, or just change into someone else to avoid seeing someone you didn't want to talk to! That being said it'd be very easy to use it too much. I couldn't say with 100% certainty that I wouldn't use it to prank people or make myself a bit of extra cash, possibly turning to crime completely and becoming a villain. Hmm... Maybe I'll just be really good at learning languages like Cypher!
Mark Julian I'd like to be able to time travel. Then I'd be able to go back in time and warn myself about all the crazy ex-girlfriends I've dated.
Nate Best
I would have to go with super strength like Colossus or Juggernaut. It would be awesome to know that NOTHING could stop you. Need to move the fridge to sweep and mop behind it? No problem! Car has a flat that you need to change? No need for a jack! Heck, I wouldn't even need the tire iron to get the wheel off!
Now, if I could only figure out how to combine super strength with super speed I would be in heaven! There never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done...
