I liked Starship Troopers. It was no Gor, but what is?

Other, Immortality.

I've always fancied floating in a void after the heat death of the universe.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Seriously though, omniscience. It would enable you to possess almost any other power, as you would by definition know how to achieve the same functional effect.

Mystery solved, apparently there's a popular tv show (they said soap opera, but I'm skeptical since their understanding of genres is poor) where a main character can teleport and that's why so many girls want that power.  :D

Brock Hanson:  Max Stonemason, I should have known it all along.  You're the one whose been teleporting into my house in order to have an affair with my precious Veronica.

Max Stonemason:  Now hold on Brock, it's criminal the way you treat her.  The way you ignore her.  The way you're carrying on an affair with her evil twin.  The way you lock her up in your pleasure dungeon all day while you work long hours at the office.

Brock Hanson:  I work those hours so I can afford nice things for her; like a pleasure dungeon.

Max Stonemason:  I'm her only source of comfort and I'm stealing her away from you with teleportation.

Brock Hanson:  Never!
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Grumbler is right about one thing, anyway; there seems to be no "maybe" about his work - either you like his books or you don't, there's no middle ground.
I actually don't feel that way.  I loved Farnham's Freehold and I thought Stranger in a Strange Land was pretty good too (though weird as hell).  So I both love some of his books, and hate others. :)

Time Control.  I can go back in time and kill Robert E Lee.

If you really want to help the Union cause, you should kill Ben Butler instead.

After a quick look at the headlines, it seems I already have a superpower: Common sense.

It must be a superpower now, because it sure isn't common anymore.

He didn't say when, he might just kill him in 1866.

No I was going to kill him in 1862 so George B McClellan would be the greatest five term President in our history.
