Brainstorming techniqueSuperstorming, if you could have any superpower how would the brainstorming session change?

There are one or two different definitions for Superstorming, one where you can pick the superpower of your choice, and another where you list a superhero and the superpower to improve a product and/or category (I tried both methods)

Why? I chose to utilize the Superstorming brainstorming technique as I strongly feel that by envisioning myself with a superpower I can find a different perspective and define more concisely a potential solution or concept form to a topic (in this case communication). Clearly defining or identifying finding potential solutions and/or a concept form to my topic is essential because my topic is still very broad in scope and ideas and creating more targeted solutions can help me narrow my perspective.

Findings— I found that listing a superhero and the subsequent superpower associated with the character was a bit challenging since my knowledge of superheroes isn’t very vast, I spent a minute or two researching hero names to utilize in a brainstorm session.
