In the second video, we can learn that invisibility is not a kind of superpower as convenient as we think. We can not go everywhere without being noticed by anyone else with invisibility. Though invisibility is not as good as we used to think, I still think it is the best superpowers. Sometimes we are under lots of social pressure, and just want to take a break and hide in the corner of the world. At the time, we can be invisible and nobody can find us. We can take a day off without being disturbed to reduce stress. So I think invisibility is the best superpowers I want to use.



B.(林睿宏)

Video 2 indicated that human body cannot afford the effect of super speed, such as the high temperature it may create, the scraping sand and dirts in the air, and the lack of reaction time as one has to see at least 1.4 miles forward to avoid the barriers.


I would like to choose the super speed since having this kind of power, almost everything can be accomplished, if new technologies in the future can overcome the damage or disadvantages of it. By theory of relativity, if a person can travel near the speed of light, he would be almost immortal since the time near him passing really slow; if traveling at the speed of light, truly being immortal is never a dream; and if traveling exceeded the speed of light, which still violates the physical laws now, then, nothing is impossible for him, even changing the history in another form.



C.(趙庭睿)

When it comes to people's childhood dreams, it is absolutely disappearing in front of human's eyes.However,would it be great if we could be invisible.If you are invisible,you can’t carry anything-including your wallet and key ,otherwise people would just see your wallet and key floating around 



D.(林廷曜)

A lot of kings are always searching for the secret of immortality.It is an impossible dream for many people.In my opinion, Immortality isn’t wonderful as these people except.Because immortality means you will become lonely, all of your friends and family will leave you.


E.(許欣致)

These videos have explained the possibility of super power in real life. In fact, most of these superpowers are not as good as we thought. They all have some fatal flaw from a scientific point of view. For instance, if a man has ability to travel with superspeed, then his brain probably can not bear the acceleration. However, superpowers are everyone's childhood dream. Therefore, although we've learned the truth, people will still keep these imaginations about superpowers.
