I would have the power of telekinesis so that I could destroy almost anything and even manipulate other alien races with my own mind.
)))

You… are one scary person Pat
*hides*

I would like to have invisibility so that I can do whatever I wanted without others’ prejudices.
) Pardon me, I’m not sure if there’s invisibility as I’ve only finished reading book 1 (I Am Number Four)
Macy says:
Aug 27, 2012
Yes there is! Number Six has invisibility

If you were a member of the Garde, what legacy would you want to have and why?
-I’d love to have Telepathy. It would be easier to communicate with people, know what other people think. You could mess with people’s thoughts! It would be a really powerful weapon/tool.
Macy says:
Aug 28, 2012
And with great power comes great responsibility

If I were a member of the Garde, I would have a shape-shifting kind of Legacy. I would be able to transform into different kinds of animals. I would also have the ability to pass through walls. Or something a bit sinister like, say, mind control.
Macy says:
Aug 28, 2012
Legacies involving the mind are always the most dangerous ones.

telekinesis will not be an option coz all Garde members have it, shape changing is cool though what i want is number 4 & 7′s legacy, the ability to heal, it will be awesome when you’re in a fight and someone’s hurt and you’re there to cure them..
Macy says:
Aug 28, 2012
It seems like healing is the most common answer. I wonder if this is a Filipino thing?

The power of being able to teleport from one location to another. You never have to worry about transportation, airlines & airports, processing travel documents and most of all hours of sitting in traffic. Wouldn’t it be nice to travel freely from a portal to a location you’ve had in mind and make the trip in reverse in a matter of seconds or minutes. Visit places you’ve always wanted to see and not be hindered by travel expenses. Or just simply being in places where you’re needed in the fastest possible time.
Macy says:

Teleportation is shaping up to be my favorite legacy too. Yay no need for visas!
Lyra says:
Aug 28, 2012
Hmmm, healing, definitely. It’s too useful of a legacy not to want to have.
Macy says:
Aug 28, 2012
Useful and scary at the same time!

If I were a member of the Garde, I would like to have the power of being able to heal. I want to help people who are sick and hurt and you never have to need medicines, bandages, etc.
realdale says:
Aug 28, 2012
Healing! That would be life changing. Gentle. and comes in handy (being a nurse).
Macy says:
Aug 28, 2012
If you had the healing power, you’d be the best nurse ever!
Katrine Lao says:
Aug 28, 2012
I would love to have the power of Happiness! I like to spread good vibes, smiles, and joy in this cruel world. For example, whenever someone sees me, they will instantly feel happy and feel good about themselves! That would be great!
Macy says:
Aug 28, 2012
You’re the first person to want an emotion-related legacy. Awesome!
Gizette Cao says:
Aug 28, 2012
telepathy!
so that I would know the perfect words to say!
Macy says:
Aug 28, 2012
You’d never have to second-guess someone’s intentions ever again!
Kyle Patrick says:
Aug 28, 2012
The ability to disable someone’s ability commented above and below this comment and other ones as well! Dugh?! Haha.

I would want to have Elemental manipulation… Maybe there’s a way I could slow down (if not prevent) Global warming using those elemental powers… or maybe I could control the weather so that there will be less storms…
Harold Kimm Isaguirre says:

Teleportation, so i will never be late ever
Mark Anselm Go says:

Power of happiness. Sharing positive vibes is the most powerful attitude for all and influencing otherthrough happiness will make our world peaceful āŗ

I want to travel through an alternate dimension briefly and reappearing in a desired, pre-selected location., just like Nightcrawler.
aneria says:
Aug 29, 2012
telepathy so i can read people’s minds.
Susana Irenea L. Borja says:
Aug 29, 2012
I want to have the power of healing. So I could just simple heal myself and other people.
Annabelle Pamisa says:
Aug 29, 2012
I want the power to anticipate the future, so I can avoid accidents and mistakes.
Mitz Gonzales says:
Aug 29, 2012
I want to have the healing power. It’s easy to fit in this world and live a simple life when the battle against the Mogadorians is through. I can heal not only the members of Garde but also ordinary Earth people.
Jeffrey John Imutan (@iamjimutan) says:

HEALING!!
abi says:

power of being able to teleport, no traffic, no visa, no lates
elldon093@yahoo.com says:
Aug 30, 2012
The HEALING POWER for me is the most important one. With this ability I can heal all the peoples in need. No high receipts. No injections.
Mina says:
Aug 30, 2012
I would like to have a telepathic and emphatic ability. It would be cool to read minds and be able to communicate through that link alone. On the other hand, having empathy will help me understand people and communicate with them more effectively. I believe it’s when you understand others that you can show true compassion.
Ruby Salazar Papio says:

POWER OF HEALING TOO
Ryan Dejarme says:
Aug 30, 2012
I would love to have Elemental Manipulation or Atmoskinesis since it has always been my dream to become an avatar… :3
Jan Mark Roxas says:
Aug 30, 2012
I would like to have the legacy of healing so I don’t have to take up pre-med and medschool! So cool, being an alien doctor!
deathbymilktea says:

The legacy of having all legacies! It’s selfish, I know, but possessing such legacy is beyond awesome!
JP Domingo says:
Aug 31, 2012
Teleportation so i can finally relax and do away with my daily dose of road rage whenever i drive in Manila traffic.
Erika Arabit says:
Aug 31, 2012
healing power ftw!

Glenn Mark Torres says:

Telepathy for me is the best one!
Ervin Julian Arabit says:

Invisibility!

I personally love all of Marina / Number 7′s legacies so can I be her instead?
If I had to choose one legacy, I think I’d love to have a legacy to manipulate people’s emotions. If the Mogadorians were after me and if I could manipulate their emotions, I could cause chaos within their ranks and they’d be so busy fighting each other that they wouldn’t have time to pursue me.
