I'd be Time Trapper, only I wouldn't be evil
I wish I could freeze time. If I could have any super power, it would be that one. The ability to fly is impressive, and the ability to communicate with animals is nice, but none of these powers are necessarily practical. Time-altering powers are quite practical. If I could stop or slow time, I’d have all the time in the world to do my homework or sleep. I would be able to read without interruption and loll about without complications. When I had completed an assignment, I would simply restart the clock. From a superhero’s standpoint, I would be able to stop tragedies from happening by pausing time, altering the situation, and then rebooting time’s forward march. Time travel’s too complicated and too dangerous to want control over, but simple time freezing could prevent deaths in the here-and-now. I wouldn’t want the responsibilities of a superhero, though, so I’d keep my power relatively quiet and use it only for myself. I certainly wouldn’t use my power for insidious gains. I would never use it to cheat on a test. Well, maybe for SAT, I would. But if you saw my math score, you’d understand.

We could use a benevolent superhero, but an archenemy always shows up to throw a monkey wrench into the deal.
Maddie, how profound :)
I also think that the power to freeze time would be quite beneficial. I also think that it would mean a lot of responsibility, and a lot of guilt if something bad happened and you wern't there to fix it with your time freezing power.
