Hero outside the law. I want to make my own way and not work within the confines of the government.
 
If I could choose I'd pick to be able to make people break into eleborate song and dance numbers at will, make real life one long musical:)
 
What are the powers?
If it's, like, the ability to change traffic lights to whatever colour I wanted, then I doubt I could be a government super agent. I probably couldn't market that to become a celebrity either. I guess all I could do is show up to work on time now.
 
^ :lol:

If we're talking traditional superhero powers here, I think I'd mostly be trying to impress women. Hero outside the law I guess?
 
I would take over the world, and make the rest of you bring me ice cream. Yes, I know that option wasn't on your lst, but if I had powers, I would not be bound by your pathetic list!

i assume the powers of a cool type, not lame. we're talking pyrokinesis, telekinesis, flight, invisibility, cryokinesis, that kinda thing.
 
If I could pick powers...all of Superman's or Spider-Man's. :bolian:
 
I would go to Hollywood but not to be a celebrity (they're clowns). Instead I will hit the corporate suites and make everyone shape the fuck up. I am sick of George Lucas screwing up Star Wars, Tim Kring screwing up Heroes, etc etc. Kick all those cops shows and reality crap off the air and bring back the space opera genre.

Okay really I should be solving world hunger or something. I'll do that after I get all that out of my system.
 
Dire Straights had it right "Get your money for nuthin' and your chicks for free". Celebrity all the way.

Most super powers are useless if you want to be a 'hero':
Will you listen to police radio and run, trying to catch the thief with your telekinesis/pyrokinesis?

If you go to the government, it's quite likely that a cigarette smoking man will put you in a cell and play dr Mengele with you, in order to see how you tick.
Either that, or you'll essentially become a killer working for the government.

Sadly, the only situation when physical powers come in handy would be if you want to rob a bank, etc - villain mode.
 
If I had superpowers, I definitely be a villian.

It's every man for himself, which is why it's good that I don't have superpowers. :p
 
I would break some laws and enforce others, some of which have not been passed yet.
