Superhero Powers

If I could have any superhero power, I would want to be able to teleport. That way, I could go anywhere in the world anytime that I wanted to. I could visit my friends and family back home in Michigan. I could go on amazing vacations and barely spend any money, because I could teleport back home to sleep and to eat. I could save a fortune on gas because I wouldn't have to drive to school or drive my husband to work. If I were able to take objects with me, I could go grocery shopping, then hold onto the cart and teleport the groceries right into my kitchen. There are lots of other things that I could do, but I probably wouldn't. For example, I could teleport myself into the middle of a theme park so that I wouldn't have to pay admission, or into a movie theater so that I wouldn't have to buy a ticket. I could be a spy or a military informant, because I could just transfer myself into a room, listen in on the conversations, and disappear instantly if things got dangerous. I could use it to commit crimes, like breaking and entering without actually breaking anything. But, again, I don't think I would do those things. Well, I might be tempted to do the theme park thing, but I'd probably feel too guilty.

Even with all of these uses, I do not think that being able to teleport would be very much fun if I couldn't take anyone with me. I would want to be able to go back home to MI for dinner and take my husband with me, or bring some friends along and go to Europe. Without other people, the only real use I would have for teleporting would be to take myself to school and back, run errands, etc. However, if I couldn't take any objects with me, either, than the power would be pretty much useless.
