Oh, man! I've been intending to create this thread for awhile; never got around to it.

Definately the power to move things that I'm not touching. Like....I would be like "I wanna Coke!" and then a Coke would come floating towards me from another room. For example.

Personal gratification, of course. Power corrupts.

Actually, some of my personal gratifications would turn out to be good for the world at large. For instance, get rid of all radioactive and toxic wastes; drop 'em into the sun or something. Likewise all nuclear weapons. And the tobacco plant, leaf, root and seed---gone. All terrorists and all willing accomplices to terrorist acts dropped into the remotest part of the Arctic, sans clothing. So too all premeditated murderers, rapists and practicing pedophiles. Direct placement of habitations on the moon and Mars, space stations worthy of the name put into orbit. Etc.

But mostly personal gratification.

Invisibility would be nice for going into locker rooms.

But really, I would prefer the power of GOD.

I would have to agree with Inq: Unlimited, totally accurate instantaneous teleportation. The money I would save on transit costs alone would be staggering, not to mention the time. I could also then do a really good Nightcrawler imitation - I'd just have to paint myself blue and grow a tail!

I could also go fencing every night! Hmm...maybe the transit money saved would be lost in cleaning stinky jackets...

invisibility, perhaps: think of the possibilities..

Teleportation... maybe, I guess it'd be nice.

Flying? No, that's L.A.M.E.

shape-shifting? perhaps...

uber-strength, maybe...

i think i'd go with invisibility. for the strip :slowwinknudgenudge:

To duplicate myself so I'd never be at a loss for a bouting or practice partner. (I've also worked out the logistics of changing my duplicated cash on hand so that I could double up my funds to pay for more fencing events.)
