What super powers would you like to have?

Hulk, the latest in a long line of comic book heroes to appear on the big screen, opens in Britain this week.

Also a popular TV series in the seventies, it tells the story of scientist David Banner who becomes the enraged Hulk when under stress.

Hulk follows in the footsteps of X-Men 2, Daredevil and Spider-Man which have thrilled movie audiences during the last 12 months.

If you were a superhero, what powers would you like to possess?

I'd like the ability to speak, read, write, and comprehend every language on the planet, including all the dead languages. And to be able to do all that for each language like a native speaker, so nothing would get lost in the translation.
Ryan, USA

The ability to type.

Go head to head with the Hulk Wilf, UK

I would love to be able to fly, be invincible, and have the strength of 10 elephants. That would be great, then go head to head with the Hulk for a laugh, if he was real of course..
Wilf, UK

I would like to have the ability to understand women, closely followed by the finer workings of the video recorder!
Paul, UK

I'd like to have the super power of being able to detect weapons of mass Destruction.....
Vince Warrington, Leicester, UK

I would like the power to make all politicians who were being economical with the truth turn bright green with yellow spots all over them, whilst simultaneously vanishing all their clothing.
Ray, UK

The ability to teleport... That way I would not have to worry about getting ripped off by the airlines and then being told that my flight was overbooked. I also wouldn't have to waste money on hotels as I could just return home every night.
Jeremy Cedenio, UK

Duplicating myself John, UK

I wouldn't mind duplicating myself. Send one of me into the office every day to make loads of money, and give the other one a lifetime off to blow it all.
John, UK

I'd like to be Super Apex Woman with the ability to predict which rail journeys have cheap Apex fares without spending hours trawling websites and making phone calls.
Jane C, UK

I would like to be able to read my wife's mind.
Andy Montgomery, Sweden

I'd like to have the power of opening juice and milk cartons...WITHOUT the contents splashing everywhere.

Flip my calendar to sleep by day and stay out all night Dave Sedgwick, USA

I'd like to live forever. Have unstoppable powers of seduction. Flip my calendar to sleep by day and stay out all night. Hum - maybe that is the kind of person super heroes are supposed to stop...
Dave Sedgwick, USA

I would like to have a form of Midas touch, but instead of gold I could change the substance of things into marshmallow. Imagine converting St Pauls! You could climb it and bounce on it, then jump off and be sure of a soft landing!
James, England

Invisibility. To go anywhere, do anything, hear anyone, without anyone ever knowing it - it would be perfect.
Michelle, England

Flying, definitely. Also being able to breathe under water. I guess I'd like to be a birdfish.
Marie, USA

I would wish to be impervious even to Kryptonite!
Anon, USA

I'd love the powers of the Marvel Comics character the Vision Nathan, England

Personally, I'd love the powers of the Marvel Comics character the Vision. But for a laugh, I'd love to be able to point at my TV screen, and instantly give an electric shock to any politician who was lying, or not answering the question that had been asked.
Nathan, England

I'd like to be able to fly and have telekinesis. That way I could get to work without a car and be able to unlock my door when I forget my keys.
Michelle, UK

The ability to stop time whenever I wanted, particularly useful in changing rooms
Ed, UK

Immortality would be nice.
Jon Cording, England

I would love to be able to fly.
Rahul, UK

To be able to instantly tell when somebody is lying or telling the truth. It'd sort this whole Iraq mess out in about 5 minutes.
