If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

It's a common enough question, and the answers are equally predictable.

We want to fly or become invisible or read people's minds, but we never stop to really consider

the other side of the question.

If you could have any superpower, would you?

Sure, there are times when supernatural abilities could come in handy.

For example, in 1910, an 11-year-old boy named Wolf Messing jumped on a train to Germany

without a ticket.

When an officer walked by and asked him for his fare, Wolf held out a scrap of newspaper

and focused all his energy on making the man think it was a ticket.

He held his breath, certain he was about to be kicked off the train.

But it worked.

The man punched the paper, handed it back to Wolf, and continued on his way.

Wolf was stunned.

That was the first time he realized that he had psychic powers.

But be careful what you wish for.

Thirty years later, those powers would get him mixed up in an international conflict he

couldn't solve with telepathy.
