If I had my choice of any superpower I would choose to have the ability to control and manipulate water, the base for all life in the palm of my hand.  I could extinguish the worst fires in a matter of seconds, create the perfect winter wonderland, or turn an average water park into a legendary experience for the whole family. Ridding the world of pests, mosquitoes, weeds, and disease carrying rodents would become little more than a Sunday chore. No opponent would ever stand against me because I could pull every drop of water from their body and then use it to wash the resulting sand into the storm drain. The power to enhance life, or ruin it. But perhaps I shouldn't have a super power for that reason. Judgement can be clouded and fogged, mistakes are a vicious predator waiting to strike. With a power like life itself under my control, who would be there to keep me in check? To make sure I would use the power for good and not become an unstoppable monster of evil. After this realization I have decided I would take no power, let someone else make the mistake of accepting more responsibility than they can handle. We're only human for a reason.
