I would have the power to control the minds of whoever I wanted, especially multiple people at a time. That would be really cool, as then I could just will the people to make me their leader and rule the whole world, which would be really fun. |

I would choose the power to control the mind of Natguy, so he could do all the work for me gaining control of the minds of whoever he wanted and take control of the world. I would then take that control from him, which would be really fun.  |

One power? The power to turn invisible at will, of course. |

I want the ability to cause telemarketers to go into convulsions via the telephone. |

Hmm...I admit, the telemarketers going into convulsions thing is tempting, but I'll stick to controlling the world. |

Er... nothing. Do you realise how boring it would be to rule the world/be immortal (witness Zaphod)/turn invisible/fly? Besides which, the would be paparazzi everywhere. John III |

The power to know instantly if a game was crap or not. That would save me a lot of money. Why did I buy CtP? |

My super power? The ability to exercise fifteen minutes a month and remain in top physical condition. Failing that, the ability to (selectively!) read minds would be very cool. |
| Natguy |

Yes, but I could will the Paparozzi to start killing each other or go get a better job! That would be pretty entertaining! |

Check out _The Fermata_ by Nicholson Baker for a hilarious take on using (and abusing) the ability to stop time. |

I would choose the ability to reshape matter. First I would reshape everyone of your brains, to keep you from controlling me, except DerekM, telemarketers deserve it. Then I would do whatever I wanted, I would reshape all the nukes in the world into food, and reshape some trash into nukes for myself and take over the world. |

Stasis- I bask in your reflected glory. If you've managed to sit through "The silence" then I'm really impressed, though I'd still hold the opinion that your time might have been better used watching wood warp. |

No, I've never seen "the silence". |

I'd like to know everything. From there, all other powers would follow. |

How could you know how to have X-ray vision? And even if you did know, you might not be able to do whatever it takes to get it! Although it would be cool...I could graduate right now! |

The ability to be divine, but not as God, without power to create or destroy, just to be everywhere always. Check out the start of an AC intro and the end of transcend animation. To be part of that. To get rid of mortal phisical body. �oki |
