So if you had super powers:
What would it be?
How did you get them?
What would you do with it? (Rule the world or something?)
______________________________________________________
Mines would so be telekinesis or phycanesis. What ever you want to call it.
I don't know fall in some bio waste like the Daredevil and magicly get them. You don't know what happens in there. You might be able to get a unicorn if make a horse take a dunk in it for all we know.
I guess I can be a Vilgent-anti, but that means I have to make a suit and everything. That's going to be a pain. Maybe I can get my jacket and a bandana to cover my face. No, I'll look like a robber. :/

I'd go with the ability to mind control people. No limits. I can control as many people as I want at any given time. Screw being able to live forever. Once the planet goes boom, I'll be stuck all alone in space for the rest of eternity.
I'd definitely try to take over the world with it. Everybody obeys the commands of one person. I can easily wipe out racism in an instant.
How would I get this power? I ate a radioactive watermelon by accident. Yup. I ate a fruit and got the ability to force the world to bow to my every desire. Cool, huh?

I'll never be late again!

How many can I have? Do they have to be connected? Can I be a deity?
I will just go with a very 'in the middle' answer, and list my top three ideal super powers (with reasoning). These are not connected to one another.
[1. Teleportation]
Teleportation is, in my belief, the most practical and essential super power on a basic level. It would be immensely enjoyable and allow me to explore the world at my leisure, while never being late for a thing or having to rush at all. Additionally, any close-encounter incidents that endanger life will allow you to escape unscathed. Car accidents, drowning, trapped under ice, parachute fails to open while skydiving, etc. It would also be just plain fun to mess with people, and it would allow you to make a considerable fortune through 'magic'.
[2. Immortality]
When I say immortality, I mean like an extreme version of Wolverine from the X-Men. Instantaneous healing from both physical injuries, as well as total immunity to all disease, infection, and illness. Additionally, it means the body will never grow deteriorated and weak, so it will not only never suffer from fatigue, but it will never die. Other than possibly suffocation, there is no way to kill or harm you in any considerable way.
[3. Total Time Manipulation]
This has some benefits from both of my first two powers, but so many more. It does work on a more complex level and may come off as a bit Godly, so I put it last in case it did not count and because it may have drawbacks. But this is complete control of time on a personal and external level. We are talking so distinct it can just make you, or anyone else, eternally ageless. It could deteriorate anything instantly, or restore anything as well. The options are, frankly, quite limitless.

My powers are simple
Duplication and the ability to change the properties of any given thing.
I know strange way to go by things, but there are alot problems that could be gotten rid of with this power :3.

What would it be?
Invisibility and the ability to fly 3nodding
How did you get them?
From eating school food. There's something very scary about the yams they serve.
What would you do with it? (Rule the world or something?)
I would abuse the ******** out my abilities and pull an endless amount of life-threatening pranks (and probably theft as well). cool

Ok just to let you know, this was written by friend and I wanted to share it. It is not intended to cast down anyone's super powers or the thread in general. I'm sharing it because I thought it was amusing. Yes, I could of linked it. But, I didn't. There are reasons for it. Quote: So you think having superpowers would rock balls, huh? Okay, let’s give some of the most popular ones a little reality treatment and see how they stack up in everyday life. Bear in mind, this assessment doesn’t incorporate the “convenience factor”. In the movies and comic books, the hero blessed with supernatural skills and always manages to find himself in situations that just so happen to require his abilities. For example, Lois Lane tumbles out of a helicopter and as luck would have it, Superman can fly and therefore save her. Talk about coincidence. Anyway here’s the cynical rundown… 10.) Flight Yeah I get it. You're probably thinking: "Wait, what? You’re ranking the power to fly on the bottom?" Oh, yeah. Consider: having the power to fly does not imply you can fly fast. Suppose the fastest you can fly is no faster than you can run. Since these days no one runs anywhere as a means of transportation (unless you’re an Olympic sprinter who lives in Manhattan, and if you are, dude, that is so lame), if you can’t get somewhere faster than you would by car, train, bus, or plane, what’s the point? You can forget about waging war on crime, too. Any crook will just pop a cap in your slow-motion a** the moment you and your tights show up to save the day. Also, since your body is still just that of an ordinary mortal, you are still vulnerable to high altitudes with the usually freezing, oxygen-starved conditions. So, unless you want to don a pressure suit, air tank, and strap on a set of rocket boots to propel you to practical speeds, flying is all but a useless power in the real world. 9.) X-Ray Vision Wow, you can see through stuff... You could become a security supervisor at an airport and peer through the clothes of hairy old men, fat chicks, and skanks like Lindsey Lohan for lethal contraband like toenail clippers and hand lotion. Sure, you could check out the hotties in their birthday suits, but isn’t the fun really in actually getting their clothes off? Prepare to settle in for a life as a full-fledged peeping Tom. You ought to be ashamed of yourself you pervert. 8.) Super Strength Let’s see, one of your friends or family members is moving and needs help with the heavy lifting. I wonder who they’ll call first. Really, the only time this power would actually come in handy would be for bar fights, arm wrestling contests, or for bashing your boss’s skull in when he once again turns down your hulky underperforming self for a raise. Don’t think you’ll avoid jail by out-muscling the cops, either. Super strength doesn’t imply your flesh is impervious to bullets. Elephants are pretty damn strong, and all it takes to knock those bastards down is a well shot tranquilizer dart. Come to think of it, jail is probably the only place super strength would serve you (and your virgin a**) well. No need to knock some weakling out to prove you’ve got cojones, your bulky frame will be enough to ward off any gang banger or butt pirate lying in wait. You’ll also have plenty of extra space to print your jailhouse tats. 7.) Pyrokinesis Congratulations, you can light yourself on fire and burn stuff down at whim. Psychiatrists have a mental disorder for that. It’s called pyromania. So society brands you a psycho. Now what, fight crime? Any evildoer with half a cerebellum will know to just blast you with an extinguisher, or lead you unsuspectingly into a water treatment plant so that he can push you into a vat full of water and deadly chemicals. Again, you’re not bulletproof, and there’s no assuming you’ll be able to out run a criminal and haul him to justice. In essence, you’re basically just a walking fiery ball of s**t that can’t do anything except maybe char private property by accident. 6.) Telepathy The whole charm of being able to read someone’s thoughts is the premise that the human brain thinks in a linear pattern. It doesn’t. Thoughts are like the colorful balls that pop around in those toy lawnmowers, only in your head. Whatever intimate knowledge you pilfer from someone will only emerge as gibberish, leaving you wishing people everywhere would stop thinking and just die. In time, you’ll become an anti-social a*****e rivaling any of those emo freaks. 5.) Shape-shifting At first the ability to alter your appearance may seem like the ultimate godsend. Who hasn’t wanted to be someone else at one point in his life? Maybe even someone famous. But consider, so what if you can physically change into Bill Gates? You won’t have his money, and you sure as hell never will. The same logic applies for anyone else you care to replicate. Johnny Depp? You won’t get his charisma along with that bizarre, sharp-angled face of his. Bono? You won’t get his ability to perform on stage while looking like a totally pretentious douche bag. Well, maybe that alone makes shape-shifting a power worth having. Yes, kill Bono and then become Bono, and make this world a better place by retiring to a cave somewhere in the Rockies and relieving us all of his obnoxious personality. 4.) Super Speed Zoom! There goes that naked guy again who can run really fast. Nothing except metal and certain kinds of plastic can withstand the kind of pressure and friction that’s associated with super sonic speed. So, unless you want to look like some kind of bondage freak in a chain-maille suit complete with conspicuous pee-hole, better avoid hanging around exotic chemicals in the lab on stormy nights. 3.) Teleportation Ahhh…finally a power that might actually benefit you in some way. Especially if you want to rob a bank. There’s just one little problem. You miscalculated the distance between the outside and inside of the vault, and now your leg is trapped in the titanium lining all the way down to the molecular level. Good going, numb nuts! Hope you brought a bone saw and a high threshold for pain, otherwise your a** is off to prison where you’ll while away your years as a one-legged laughingstock of every thief in the Big House. 2.) Invisibility "Honey, did you feel that bump in the road just a second ago? No? Hmmm…I could have sworn I felt something." You’re invisible, so no one can see you. Let me put that another way. No motorist can see you. With this power you have to be extra careful doing just about anything, because everything becomes dangerous. One errant jaunt across the highway and you become one flattened hero. 1.) Regeneration Finally, the only power that is actually useful in real life. Scrape your knee playing two-hand touch? Three seconds later and you’re as good as new. Splatter your guts across the pavement in a motorcycle accident? It’s cool, you’ll be popping wheelies trying to impress that girl in a halter-top or the boy with his shirt off on the sidewalk in no time. You can also eat whatever the hell you want because cholesterol and pesky fat build-up is no longer a concern. Dessert tonight? You’ll order two, maybe three. The only problem is that if your body can heal itself instantly, it looks like you’re going to be living a long, long extra-long life. So, for our sake, you better have a pleasant, jovial demeanor to console us since we’ll all be aging like suckers while you stay healthy and youthful. And just because I'm feeling generous: Honorable Mention Elasticity- Mr. Fantastic may be jumping Jessica Alba’s bones these days, but being a human Stretch Armstrong is still the lamest superpower ever.

10. Flight - (I guess a good use for this ability is to reduce the impact of falling. You trip and are about to plant your face in rock hard cement. BLAM! Using your ability, you make yourself kind of halt the process of falling by sort of semi-hovering for a split second to reduce the impact. Or you could be thrown off a bridge. No problems there.)
9. X-Ray Vision - (I pretty much concur with everything. Why would this be a part of the popular super powers?)
8. Super Strength - (Pretty simple solution to put that power to use. Learn martial art like Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, etc. Become a legend of said martial art with your super strength.)
7. Pyrokinesis - (Free heating and lighting for life. Eases up your bill payments if you play things just right.)
6. Telepathy - (Nobody said that the ability is constantly active right? If it is, then whoever has it is ********. If not, then simply utilize it when you want to know something specific. Manipulate them with questions and BLAM! Ability put to good use in real life situations. Now you will be able to tell if someone is lying to you or learn certain passwords to gain access to certain places and whatnot.)
5. Shape-shifting - (Sure, you might not gain the abilities of whoever you shapeshift into, but it's a great ability for espionage. Get in, get whatever you came for, get out, shape-shift to make the trail go cold. You could always go with impersonation for some kicks.)
4. Super Speed - (I concur with opinion.)
3. Teleportation - (No additional input.)
2. Invisibility - (Well, as long as you can switch the ability on and off, it will do great in the espionage field.)
1. Regeneration - (I agree that it'll be mentally trying to watch the world around you age while you remain the same, but if you can get over that factor then it wouldn't be too bad to spend a decade or two in different parts of the world until the planet explodes.)
Alright, done with my two cents. Now allow me to indulge you in some more stuff. Here's an article that elaborates on some of the listed super powers using science.

Invisibility.
Then if anyone ever wanted to bully me again,
I could just walk away, turn invisible. And kick their a**.
Or maybe Telepathy.
I've always wanted to know what my 'friends' think about when I'm around.
