Dunno about you, but if I had one superpower to choose, it would be invisibility. I think that’s probably a pretty common choice.
But we here at TVWeek were surprised at which superpower Stan Lee would choose for himself — and one that he says could be a commercial hit, if one could figure out the visuals.
Here’s what he told The Huffington Post in a recent interview:
HUFFINGTON POST: If you could have any superpower, what would you choose?
STAN LEE: Luck. Because if you’re lucky, then everything falls into place. Whatever you want to do, you accomplish. I don’t know why nobody has made a superhero who’s just lucky. Well, I do know why — because it isn’t visually interesting. But luck would be the greatest power in the world.
There was a good, short-lived series from the mid-90s about this very topic. Strange Luck. While not painted as a super-hero, the protagonist had “luck” – on his side; sometimes, not. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112182/
