Superpower

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Well, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this and came to my conclusion long ago. Screw invisibility or flight or an ability to calulate Pi to the 5 millionth place. If I could have any superpower, it would be the power to speak and understand all languages. And if I could get really greedy with the superpowers, then the ability to communicate with all living creatures would be even better. (More St. Francis of Assisi than Dr. Doolittle, please.)

Well, I just started reading Umberto Eco's Baudolino. His protagonist has the ability to learn any language after hearing at least two people speak it. So much for originality.
