If you could have one superpower in exchange for one ordinary physical ability that a person possesses, which superpower would you choose and which ability would you let go of?

#1

I would choose the ability to manipulate time (but so that i could fast forward/pause the actual events, not just the clock) and give up the ability to cross my eyes.

Same here. Animals are so much nicer than some people. One of my favourite quotes is 'Feed a dog for 3 days, and they'll remember you for 3 years. Feed a human for 3 years, and they'll remember you for 3 days.'

The power to safely & securely find anything I am looking for, no matter how obsure or hidden. In exchange I will trade my ability to laugh (not using it anyway).

I'd choose having really cool wings (or mental manipulation for the literal worst reasons) and give up my weird double jointed elbows, now that I can't argue that it's completely normal it's not as funny (my entire ultimate team told me it's not in fact normal)

I'd be able to shapeshift and I'll get rid of my ability to jump (don't use it and if I did I'd probably be able to work a way round it with my powers)

The power to transform into a giant Ultra Warrior (AKA be a host to an Ultra, like Shin Hayata), which includes other abilities such as being really tall (40m), Shooting laser beams out of everywhere, take down enemy forcefields, lift 200,000 (or more depending on the Ultra) tons, the iconic Specium ray, flight, speed, and intelligence. I would sacrifice my ability to worry and obsess over minuscule things because it only causes me stress and despair. all in all this feels like a good deal!

Some abilities I forgot: Generating spears and other weapons out of energy, psychokinesis, excellent senses, and size change (In my ultra form, I could shrink back to human size and still stay an Ultra). BTW this ability is not all mine, as I have to be merged with an Ultra warrior. Together we would fight as one for the peace of the Earth for all time! EDIT: Forgot to mention I can just casually beat the s**t out of monsters even more powerful than Godzilla, usually in less then three minutes. Also, many Ultras use up a vast amount of energy in Earths atmosphere, which means they can only fight for three minutes. I spend most of my time in my human form, when I need to transform to fight, I use a device called a Beta Capsule to transform. Also, not all Ultras have this three-minute weakness. Some have protectors over their color timer so that they don't use up all their energy. It will still blink if im in mortal danger. Ideally mine would have protectors but I'll take what I can get C:
