If you have been watching any television in the last few weeks you have no doubt seen the trailer for the new film directed by D. J. Caruso and produced by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg, I Am Number Four.

The film, which opens in theaters Friday, February 18th, looks very X-Men-ish, and is about a group of nine aliens that closely resemble humans, hiding out on earth. Well… that is until an invading alien species starts to hunt them down one by one.

The film, which is based on the first of a planned six book young adult novel series looks to be an interesting mish-mash of genres. While they are aliens, they fight with such powers as telekinesis, invisibility and elemental manipulation. I have been looking forward to checking this out for a quite a while now.

Want to check out I Am Number Four at Ritz Five Wednesday, February 16th, 2 days before it opens to the public? Simply comment with what your alien power would be and why. The best 25 answers will be checking out an advance screening on Geekadelphia. We’ll let you know on February 14th. In the meantime check out the trailer below!

    My alien power would be mind control. Specifically, mind control over wealthy single women.

    My alien power would be the power to heal. You always need a medic in the field. Also health insurance isn’t cheap so being able to heal others and myself will save people a lot of money.

    Alien power? Hmmm…I wouldn’t mind regeneration akin to the Time Lords, I guess…old body wears out and then regenerate a new one…something like that…

  4. Eric February 4, 2011 at 1:15 pm #

    I would go with flight.. cheap vacations and beautiful vistas at a moments notice!

  5. Will February 4, 2011 at 1:18 pm #

    I would be an alien computer programmer and I would write alien operating systems that don’t interoperate with human systems. See http://www.useit.com/alertbox/independence-day-interoperability-blooper.html (“Did the aliens really design their APIs with a call to blowUpTheShipAsSoonAsTheGoodGuysGetFarEnoughAway(), as an easy to get to routine?”)

    I’d want to be able to transform into any person/animal..alien powers should always make the Earth population feel a little uneasy.

  7. VulcanMike February 4, 2011 at 2:00 pm #

    My alien power would be persuasion. With that one power, I’d have all I need.

  8. Tiffany Allen February 4, 2011 at 2:33 pm #

    I’d have hydrosonic balls!

  9. Timshel February 4, 2011 at 2:38 pm #

    8 tentacles, telepathy, and the power to camouflage myself anywhere, anytime.

    Long live Cthulhu!

  10. Daniel February 4, 2011 at 2:50 pm #

    I would want the power to invoke pure apathy amongst those around me. That would allow me to do any and all things to my hearts content with zero resistance. After all, what good is a power that doesn’t grant you things you want?

  11. Mike February 4, 2011 at 3:32 pm #

    Given the context of the movie, I’d say the power to be invulnerable, invisible or otherwise immune to any and all alien species that would intend to hunt down me and the other eight fellows one by one. But if we’re stepping outside of those boundaries, I’d go with the ability to transmute matter on a cellular level, which would allow me to turn stuff around me into gold or diamonds (money), fresh water (saving millions of lives) and also my own cells (we’ll want to stop that nasty cellular senescence so I can not age anymore, that’s depressing and who wants to die, anyway?

    I am also glad they made this movie with the fourth alien/test subject/whatever, instead of the second. “I Am Number Two” is a similarly dynamic title, but in a much different way. I am highly interested in what his (or her) power is.

  12. Nick February 4, 2011 at 4:13 pm #

    Sometimes I think I’ve already got the power of invisibility. I seem to get ignored alot. Government. Bosses. Bad Drivers. Bartenders. Hot women. I want the power of VISIBILITY!

  13. David Y. February 4, 2011 at 4:15 pm #

    Speed, speed and more speed. The best alien power to have if you want to get out of any sticky situation,

  14. Stephanie February 4, 2011 at 4:20 pm #

    While not the most glamorous or formidable super power, I would want to be able to calculate any mathematical equation – including the probability of ANY event’s occurrence – instantaneously. brain + CPU = queen of the lab

  15. Ben C February 4, 2011 at 6:08 pm #

    Always has been and always will be bowel disruption e.g. the ability to make people poo their pants. Ever since reading “Transmetropolitan,” I have been convinced that this is the ultimate superpower.

  16. Luke February 4, 2011 at 6:31 pm #

    My power would to be induce mind and body shattering orgasms with the tip of my finger and a little bit of concentration. It would be perfect for hand to hand fights, no one wants to fight after experiencing the “la petite mort.”

  17. Colin February 4, 2011 at 6:46 pm #

    Well I already have the power of extreme awkwardness and knowledge of useless trivia so they’re both out, but you can’t go wrong with good old Telekinesis. Though Energy, Matter, and Time manipulation all are cool too.

  18. Donna Beadle February 4, 2011 at 6:54 pm #

    My alien power would be telepathic ability so i will know your next move.

  19. Sharon G February 4, 2011 at 7:12 pm #

    My power would invisible , so i can spy on the other alien , so i can caught them in the act of doing evil.

  20. Rob A. February 4, 2011 at 7:34 pm #

    My alien power would be to be able to digest and absorb the ridiculous information stream that bombards me every day from the Internet. Taking on such a force is clearly an inhuman task!

  21. Scottb February 4, 2011 at 9:52 pm #

    I’d pick elemental manipulation. Not just because I’m a chemist, but because Molecule Man (Secret Wars II era) is my favorite underrated villain.

  22. detorn February 5, 2011 at 12:37 pm #

    I would have the ability to avoid getting a real job and letting me alien wife support me. oh wait…

  23. Dr.Q February 5, 2011 at 1:25 pm #

    Despite all the problems that Paul Muad’Dib had with it, I still think prescience is the coolest alien power ever. Sure, it aids in the fight against forces that threaten to enslave the earth and wreak destruction upon all humankind by providing useful intel. But, it also helps you find a parking space in South Philly on a Saturday night.

  24. tommy February 5, 2011 at 7:35 pm #

    x-ray eye so i can see all female, ( u know what i mean)

  25. lex February 5, 2011 at 7:45 pm #

    my power is to hear from far far away. so i can ear drop on everything

  26. rich February 5, 2011 at 7:48 pm #

    my power is to jump very high, so i can beat everyone in sport

  27. tom February 5, 2011 at 7:51 pm #

  28. tom February 5, 2011 at 7:51 pm #

    my power is to make a lot of money

  29. tom February 5, 2011 at 7:56 pm #

    my power to make a lot of money

  30. roy February 5, 2011 at 7:57 pm #

    my power is to control all the people

  31. don February 5, 2011 at 7:59 pm #

    the power to make girl want you

  32. Kristen February 5, 2011 at 9:31 pm #

    I’m not sure I would want a “power” per say. How about a skeletal system made out of kevlar? That would not only make my bones way stronger than the average human, but they would also be lighter, which equals running faster and jumping higher than humanly possible.

  33. Anne McCormack February 7, 2011 at 7:20 pm #

    My super power would be to dissolve fat so there wouldn’t have to be anymore dieting!!

  34. RevJesseJakeson February 7, 2011 at 10:06 pm #

    My power would be to change matter into different forms without having to adjust the temperature. That would make conquering different places on earth super easy- from the North Pole to the desert, humans would have nowhere to hide that I couldn’t easily access!

  35. Michael February 8, 2011 at 9:11 am #

    My power would be shapeshifting. That way I could adapt to any situation and hide if necessary

  36. Reem February 8, 2011 at 9:17 am #

    My alien power would be the ability to pause, rewind & change time. Nothing would be better than to have the ability to change the present, the future, & history!

  37. O. C. February 8, 2011 at 9:37 am #

    I would pick the ability to stop time, which is a two in one deal! You could stop time and study for exams (especially useful if studying the day of exam LOL), and at the same time have super speed if used correctly (running bases in baseball!)

  38. AB February 8, 2011 at 10:11 am #

    My alien power would be to know every fighting style in the galaxy. I just want to kick ass!

  39. Lynne February 8, 2011 at 11:44 am #

    My aliening power would be mine control.

  40. Jeff February 8, 2011 at 1:15 pm #

    I’ll go with those of the uber-alien himself, Superman. Strength, nigh-invulnerability, an array of affected ‘visions’, assimilated flight, the ability to completely disguise myself with a simple pair of thick rimmed glasses.

    Going to need some better fine control over my bits and pieces though – hate to blow a load like a shotgun right through her back or die from banging regular chicks since it would require the use of a kryptonite condom…

  41. Justin February 8, 2011 at 2:36 pm #

    My alien power would be to appear as an attractive human. Everyone knows you can’t get anywhere in an alien movie without a human woman falling in love with you.

  42. Thomas February 8, 2011 at 5:17 pm #

    I want the power to transport anywhere I like to. Save money on gas since it is going up .

  43. Hong February 8, 2011 at 5:40 pm #

    I like to control the four elements Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Sort of like Avatar the Last Airbender. That would be cool.

  44. Jonathan February 8, 2011 at 9:43 pm #

    I’d like to be invisible.

  45. Brenday February 10, 2011 at 1:09 am #

    i would definitely want to shape shift… sounds like the most useful

  46. Juan February 10, 2011 at 8:54 am #

    The power I would chose is the power to animate inanimate objects. Not by giving life, only by implating them with my will and once that will is carried out (whatever it may be) the object becomes inanimate again.

  47. Brian Flieder February 10, 2011 at 6:47 pm #

    Mind control, for sure. If you control people’s minds you rule the world! Mooohooohooohahaha.
