I would choose the superpower that stop’s retards from posting stupid questions....
I hate vanity posts...
Be able to do the Zot.
Welcome to the site. But dude, you gotta save these for the weekend when people are all drinkin’ or something, and not zotting boring vanities.
I want the ability to withstand obama’s dumb policies
The United States, Russia, and China?
Invincibility, the ability to jump to any parallel world of my choice and the ability to make people tell the truth by looking them in the eye with my powers.
I would travel to each world that has Obama as president and ask him if he were a citizen while looking him in the eyes and he would have to tell me the truth!
You forgot to mention the part about bong hits.

My 3 chosen superpowers would be to be able to...
1. Divide by zero
2. Find the real roots of negatives
3. Solve nonlinear DE’s
The power to write pages of well edited prose at lightning speed.
Also the power to shake the pick out of my acoustic guitar in one shake (sometimes you accidentally drop it into the soundhole and have to shake it out).
Ok, but to answer your question, I’d want the power to deem any collection of letters that I want to be a valid scrabble word for a short amount of time (most likely, one game’s worth).
Repay a “Debt of Honor”.....
Interesting. Usually people only ask if you could pick 1 superpower, so I’d never thought about 3 of them. With 3 to choose you get a lot more flexibility :D
1. Teleportation. Better than flying, since you can get somewhere instantly. Plus, with teleportation, you are not limited by distance, gravity, or any of that nonsense. If you want to have brunch on the Moon, go for it.
2. Density Control. Basically, to be able to make yourself more dense (even harder than a diamond) or less dense (intangible - walk through walls). This is as good as invulnerability at either extreme, plus you get other benefits too. Also, this is kind of essential if you are teleporting into a place you are unfamiliar with, just in case you teleport yourself inside a wall, or a volcano or something.
3. Matter Creation/Transformation. So you could make anything you can imagine appear out of thin air. Not only could you say, create a pile of gold to finance your adventures, but you could make all sorts of crazy gadgets, or a supercool lair to hang out in. This would also be handy, in case you teleport yourself underwater or something, and you wish you had some scuba gear!
As for what I would do with them, that is a trickier question in my opinion. The temptation to flaunt the law and do as you please would be pretty great, but I think I would probably just set up with a nice big island fortress and set up all sorts of nasty defense systems to keep out any unauthorized intruders. After that, I would invite FReepers and other sensible folks to come populate this island of sanity and write their own constitution (hopefully a bit more explicit this time).
Once all that was taken care of, I would probably while away my time teleporting around the world pulling pranks on commie policitians and tyrants while they were on camera, to make buffoons out of them in front of their subjects.
What have you been smoking?
x-ray vision
flying
looking macho while wearings tights.
I have a clue as to why.
Super intelligence.
The ability to manipulate matter like Dr Manhattan or The Molecule Man. [This gives me all sorts of super abilities]
That second power covers so much, so as a third power I’d pick super regenerative powers to maintain health and longevity (though the 2nd power pretty much covers that for me, and my loved ones)
I’d start as a super villain. I’d probably be giddy with my powers and since nobody could stop me, I’d be free to take whatever I wanted. Then, I’d probably become a hero, helping out with natural disasters, fighting terrorists and their sponsors, and assisting in macro crises, but not fight day to day crime unless I happened to be on the scene.
“Socialismislost” eh? Boy, this sure, sure, sure reminds of the old Usenet days and a certain avatar of pestilence who adopted just this kind of name and made just this kind of post. If this is the guy, I think he’s already been here a while, but you know, it just hit me.
Wolverine’s regeneration
Professor X’s psychic abilities
Dark Pheonix’s ability with telekinesis
