Superhero movies used to dominate the box office but these days we are seeing a slip of sorts. But whatever genre is at the top, recent advancements in technology are allowing studios to produce high quality special effects that captivate viewers in ways that other films just can’t. Perhaps this is because we all secretly hope we too have a special power. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Flight? Invisibility? Time travel?

Our friends at Ranker, the #1 destination for crowdsourced rankings of everything, has released the results of its public poll asking voters to rank the superpowers they most wish they had. Healing Ability won the majority of the votes. It may not be as sexy as the ability to fly, but can you imagine not having to worry about healthcare? For the Silo, Jillian Nannery.

The international poll (now closed) was based on 193,000 votes on 141 superpowers. The results are as follows:

1. Healing Ability (eg- The Wolverine)
2. Teleportation 
3. Time Manipulation (eg- Dr. Who)
4. Shapeshifting (eg- Plasticman)
5. Invincibility (eg- Sue Richards)
6. Flight (eg- Supergirl)
7. Super Speed (eg- The Flash)
8. Mind Control (eg- Jean Grey)
9. Super Intelligence (eg- Howard the Duck.. okay this one might be a stretch)
10. Super Strength (eg- She Hulk)

In addition, the poll results revealed:
-Millennials voted time manipulation as #1
-Women voted Teleportation as #1

What super power would you want to add?
