3. Healing powers
Heal the sick, raise the dead, make all the boys talk outta their heads.

4. I wish we had China and the European Union for superpowers.
This 'U.S. as the sole superpower' thing has really turned us into power-crazed, warmongering, torturing, bigoted, arrogant thugs. It's time to turn the reins over to someone else for a while.

8. The ability to pause time.
Imagine the State of the Union address..

The Chimp is up there "blah blah blah.. terra terra terra.." and then I pause time, put a blot on his forehead, walk away, and resume time. Pause again immediately & continue with my writing on his forehead. The process may take a while, but it'd look to normal people like some invisible force was writing "666" on his forehead. THAT'd cause a stir - could you imagine his fundie base trying to blame the liberals for that one???
(I'd also take that opportunity to replace his water with Everclear. Let 'em take a sip of THAT during the speech.. lol)

Meanwhile, there are senate races going-on. Picture the debate: Our Candidate is sitting back relaxing, while Their Candidate is circling on-stage, giving his bullshit answer. I pause time, pour some water down the front leg of his pants, and then resume time. Yes, ladies & gentlemen.. I just made it look like their candidate pissed his pants.
(I'd probably wait for a key question.. to make him look afraid. Maybe a gay rights question would be good timing on that one..)

Then, there's always the hidden-camera-planted-by-invisible-man ploy. That'd be interesting, to say the least.. :P

10. When using the power for good, the ability to not be killed or feel pain.
Sort of like how it was for the guy in Highlander, although he wasn't necessarily a "good" guy. (However, cutting off my head wouldn't kill me the way it would kill him.)

16. Just two: telekinesis and one of Wonder Woman's old tricks...
...the power to compel another to tell the truth.

You can just IMAGINE who I'd be using it on... :)

The telekinesis? That's for personal use. :bounce:
