If I could have any superpower in the world, I would choose to have the ability to teleport like X-Men mutant Kurt Wagner, or as he is most commonly known, Nightcrawler.
Quite honestly, I doubt that I would use my powers for good, or rather, for the good of mankind. I admit wholeheartedly that I am a selfish person and that I would mostly use my power for personal gain, whether it be to sneak into concerts, movies or onto flights. That's not to say that I wouldn't save a baby from a burning building if I just so happened to be strolling by a burning building with a baby trapped inside, I would help people if I could if they happened to cross my path, however, I wouldn't go out of my way to help those in need.
As someone who spent nearly half her life living in the United Arab Emirates and who is engaged to an Irishman currently living in Dublin, the ability to teleport would come in handy. There are people all over the world that I would love to have the ability to visit just on a whim. I have very close friends from highschool who are currently living in the United Arab Emirates, England, Holland, Qatar, as well as family in Ireland and the UAE. After this school year, I'll have one more friend in England, and another in France. Even if I couldn't teleport all the way to those places, it'd be handy to just poof my way onto any flight I chose without having to worry about buying a ticket. God knows I'd never ever mess with going through airport security ever again. I'd never be stranded, I'd never have any layovers. Life would be fantastic.
If I could teleport, I'd wake up 5 minutes before class everyday. Screw gas prices, I wouldn't have to drive. Is there such thing as a TUI? I think not. Can you get a ticket for teleporting too fast? Meter maids? HA! I would have seen every band I've ever listened to live and I'd be on a first name basis with them. Who needs a backstage pass when you can just be backstage in the blink of an eye. It'd be funny to see security try to catch me.
I can't honestly say that I'd rob a bank or anything using my superpower, but I can't honestly say that I wouldn't charge people $100 for me to take them anywhere in the world. In Athens I would make bank taking people that are in no shape to walk let alone drive to and from parties or bars.
In short, teleportation is the sweetest superpower ever and I want it.
