I want the power that if somebody was not telling the truth, I could point at them and yell, "Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!" and their pants would actually catch fire.
Arc# 92382 -- "The S.P.I.D.E.R. and the Tyrant" -- Ninjas! Robots! Praetorians! It's totally epic! Play it now!
Arc # 316340 -- "Husk" -- Azuria loses something, a young woman harbors a dark secret, and the fate of the world is in your hands.

Well, Superman knows what power he'd choose.  |
Superman would always choose flight probably just from the way he love it so much.
But if I had to choose... time-space manipulation powers or high powered ESP powers.
Omnipotence.
I think either invulnerability or regeneration would be the top ones to pick - with either of those, you could do a lot of good in the world.

Sigh... I always forget what my answer is to this question and then think of it some time after answering...
However, I have a new answer that I'm sure I've not used before (It used to be a call between telekinesis and/or invulnerability and/or maybe teleport [barring space-time-manipulation that can and does cover all things...)...
And I say this truthfully, as I can think of nothing that'd bring me a greater reward (sure, I bet it could become a curse, I'd be happy to bear such a "curse"):
The ability to heal and cure all physical wounds, ailments and diseases in others (including myself would be cool so I could continue to help others and not be wiped out too soon).

Superhuman intellect.
Imagaine being able to see things and understand them on a level that makes reed richards and doctor doom look like utter morons.
The capacity to think of ideas that could help humanity is boundless.
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

In the "article" Superman talks about how cool it would be to be invisible...while he's using all his other powers. It's a joke.

Becasue I want to eat an entire bag of Oreos every day without the ensuing appearance of man-boobs.
how about the power of flight? the reason I say this is that i have physical issues with my back and legs and the ability to fly or heck even hover would be nice so i didnt need to use crutches......
what is the secret of your powers?

EDIT: (hehe, suddenly feel like a super powers salesman!)
However, did I mention that we're having a sale on the Whirlwind power today? Sure, it may not be as powerful as some of the others, but you'll stand out amongst the crowd!

Teleportation would be a major QoL improvement. I'd probably take that.
Invisibility is overrated. The fact that no one sees you could be more of a liability than an advantage. Try walking down a busy Manhattan street, invisible man.

I think there's a bit of confusion here. When I say omnipotence I'm referring to unlimited power. The ability to do anything I can imagine even if it's logically impossible. |

Not omniscience which is the capacity to know everything infinitely.

Super landscaping. My garden would be awesome.
Goodbye, I guess.

Sounds like you had the storms I'm getting in my area all day today. Severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings. Seems to have cleared up as evening arrived.

The ability to pull anything I need out of my back pocket, like they do in the old school cartoons.
Rampaging, mutant poodle with acid spit and deadly eye lasers? Hey! I think I've got just the thing to take care of that.
Or, ya know, this morning commute would be much easier in an Abrams tank. And I've got one in here somewhere!
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
I think I could be pretty happy with Flash type super speed.
Confirmed altaholic with 70+ alts in coh and cov...yes i know thats alot! Playing coh since beta test phase.
Shape/matter transformation or the ability to choose whatever shape made out of whatever material I want...oh yeah...
Some guy on the street comes at me with a knife? I'll change into a guy with a gun.
Some guy with a gun tries to shoot me? I'll change into a werewolf and, unless the bullets are silver, won't do squat

No you can't. People who actually know what's in hot dogs have tried for years to make better ones and have failed miserably.|

Ignorance is tasty.
Oh, bah!
SmartDogs are awesomely yummy! And aren't bad for ya, yucky nor overly filling!
Depending on your choice of dogs, of course.
I don't think I've ever seen any imitations of sabretts though...
