Does 'charming the pants off girls' not count? :confused:

Easy, Superhuman Intelligence, although it is not mentioned. It would crush everyone :biggrin:
 
i'd love to have superman's. Can't beat that :biggrin:

Of course it counts. Everything counts.

what exactly a intelligent superhuman do?
 
The ability to make any arbitrary individual within a 20 foot radius think that he or she owns me money from that one time that one day.

It was mentioned.
 
I do alright as is.
 
I do alright as is.
You are superhumanly human!

Personally, i'd love teleportation. At least I could wake up from bed at the last possible instant and still get to college on time.
 
I'd have "generic superpower" that can do anything. :D
 
I think shape shifting is the coolest. Especially if there are little to no limitations. You could look like other people.. .or animals... really small things that fit in people's pockets. All sorts of coolnesses.
 
The ability to generate any amount of money in any denomination in any currency at any time.
 
I'd like to be able to see through womens clothes. Sometimes. :biggrin: o:)

Actually, I'm kidding. Hell, I wouldn't like to have this super power. Things wouldn't be fun.

Not really sure. Get to speak at some conventions I guess.

Or commit suicide.

Or find elaborate ways to manipulate the masses and construct a massive army of loyal people to storm all nations and take over the world. No one could overturn me, because I would be very intelligent, performing calculations all the time, estimating probability and being able to evade attackers. The ground will be drowned in human worship and animal sacrifice. Then as Almighty Leader of the world, I could like, go speak at some conventions, or, alternately write a lot of self-help books for new promising galactic overlords.

The ability to generate any amount of money in any denomination in any currency at any time.

Imagine how fast one could drive down the US economy, hitting rock bottom in a matter of days.
 
It would definitely be one of two (unless I am only limited to one)

Complete body invisibility at will, and the power of supernatural manipulation of other people.
 
I would choose the ability to do physics problems and experiments at superhuman speed and exceptional accuracy.

Oh wait... :rolleyes:
 
as in the mel gibson movie, knowing what women are thinking.

Lame.

He said superhero, not supernerd powers.

Being invisible would be cool, but so would shape shifting.

this has already happened. Its called scientology. Unfortunately there was one major flaw :rolleyes:
 
My superpower would be that the universe is just a dream. Then I would wake up and see what happens.

Thats not a superpower. :rolleyes: It's a movie called the matrix.

A good superpower would be something like using the force in star wars where you can alter peoples thoughts.

Another good one would be the ability to travel in time.

I hate it when my imagination taunts me. Be silent or I'll wake up.
 
My one super power would be to have whatever super power I wanted to have at any given time.

Like the writers of that movie were the original creators of the idea.
