I gotta go with x-ray vision ;)

What, no invisibility?

To work at airport security, no doubt.

1st choice: invisibility

2nd: flight

3rd: both preferably.

it'd be so awesome to wander around invisible and mess with people, i don't think it'd ever get boring

Too obvious. The vast collection of grown man-children on would obviously head to a woman's locker room first and stay there.

The thing about invisibility is that you need to be able to control it. Most people would probably not want to live or go crazy-abusive with power if they were invisible forever. Just look at Kevin Bacon in that movie.

Duh, time travel!

Just to avoid any confusion, by "that movie", I obviously mean Footloose.

Where is x-ray vision???

1) Healing others.
2) Flight
3) Invulnerability

I know a lot of people think invisible would be the way to go, but for me, I'd really love to be unsmellable. "Inolfactible" maybe??

Alternately, the power to not smell *other* people would also come in handy. Especially on the bus.

I (unfortunately) can relate with the Character SYLAR in the T.V. series Heroes,...I want to collect powers...(preferably without killing the person)

Teleporting.

When I was younger, I decided that my answer to this question would always be the ability to control time. If I had to choose out of that list, though, I'd probably pick shape shifting.

OTHER. I'd rather have the Insanely Wealthy power. That will give me the equivalent of all the other powers whenever I need them.

Flight: Lease a private jet or helicopter.

Super-strength: Lease a construction crane, hydraulic press, or whatever else is required for the specific feat of strength.

Super-speed: Buy a Formula One race car.

Weather control: Build a fleet of cloud-seeding planes, orbital atmosphere-heating lasers, or whatever else is required.

Shape-shifting: Instead of changing into something, just buy it.

The Insanely Wealthy power works equally well for superheroes and supervillains.

That would be Peter then...

So, you basically want to be Wonder Woman's Jet?

Is this Batman or Iron Man?

Invisibility to be sure, flight would be cool, but I'd prefer immortality without the whole killing-people-for their-life-essence-thing. The difficulty I have with that concept is: What age would I want to be forever? I can find fault with my physical and mental prowess at just about ANY age that I've been!!

Definitely have to go with Telepathy... For it does cover a broad spectrum, including:
mind reading,
mind control,
illusions/diversions/distractions,
other powers that are similar to force powers i.e. moving objects with mind, deception, and possibly even levitating!!! xD

I'll take good old fashioned sorcery, please; else conjuration.

Everyone is all about flight but teleporting is so much more practical.

I picked flight.

And then I realized, if I were a shape-shifter, I could shape-shift into a bird and fly anyway.

I'm not sure if I want to deal with that extra step though.

I'll just stick with flight.

technomancy, the ability to make highly advanced devices/control/alter/repair them

I'd just shape-shift into something that has the "power" I want/need.

Considering I've been sick most of my life, I think the ability to heal myself and others would be an awesome super power.

I would go with invincibility.

All the other powers are flashy and cool, but I prefer to stay in one piece.

The ability to steal superpowers

Easy gotta go with teleportation.

+ another on invisibility.

Matter manipulation

There *is* an invisibility option...

...it's invisible.

I want the power to swear like Hunter S. Thompson. (Reason #428 why I'm still single)

With all the dreams about flying I have, I'd love to experience that. However, if I had a choice, I would love to be able to heal the sick with a touch, or be able to time travel - now THAT would be the coolest. At 4:27 and sleep-deprived, I'm sure this sounds like the ramblings of the mentally vacuous. LOL

Other: I'd be a pusher. Hands down.

MIND BULLETS!

That's telekinesis, Kyle.

Dimensional travel, with or without a bubble. Why limit yourself to teleporting or time travel? Dimensional travel covers both, plus weird stuff, like the 11th or n dimension. Humans might not survive very well in those dimensions, hence the choice of traveling w/a protective bubble so you can sense what you're getting yourself into before stepping into your surroundings. Same goes for travel into other galaxies, the inner core of the earth, the solar corona, etc. For time travel into the past, if you interact with the past (i.e. no bubble), you change the future - your future, which can produce time paradoxes and really screw you up, unless you buy into the multiverse theory, in which case you'll just shift into another universe.

From whom? Other wooters? You'd probably just end up with the Screaming Monkey superpower, although you might have your choice of capes.

Powerful telekinesis
