In a recent interview, when asked what superpower he would like to have,
Obama said he would love to speak any language.

I'm not sure this is his personal aspiration as much as a way of encouraging people to learn languages :-). He explains why its useful and cool.

Do you have any language superpower fantasies you'd like to share?

I try to eliminate the need for superpowers by limiting the number of languages I study. But some kind of time-manipulation skill would be nice. Like being able to transform 1 week of study into 1 year ( without getting older ).
