Superhero or supervillain?

[Siege]

Two questions:
1- If you could have one superpower, what would that be?
2- And would you use your new found superpower for good or evil?

Keep in mind though, that when we are talking of superpowers, anything short of using your powers in completely unselfisheness for the good of mankind, is evil.
If you use your superpower to make money, even though you might not being doing direct damage to other people, places you in the supervillain cathegory because you cannot been brought to justice by regular cops.

That looks a bit too narrow.  What if the Flash started his own courier service, for example?  He's making money, but not doing anything illegal...

You can't be serious. Do you really think a person with a superpower is going to come out in the open?
Just the fear of goverment experimentation on your ass to replicate the phenomen will keep you in hidding.

Ok, lets say the Flash did start a courrier service. How long until he gets bored and starts to think of other uses for his power?
This is like a college graduate working as a janitor. It ain't gonna end good or/and last long.

What if your superpower is making money?

[Siege]

What if your superpower is making money?

Then the question is what will you do with that money.
Lets say you can turn any metal into gold.
What will you do with that gold?

What if I wanted to be invulnerable to physical harm and then I joined the army and walked ahead of the soldiers and absorbed IEDs?  I'd still get payed right?  Is that good or evil?

Siege, or sig is hilarious.

I choose sig is hilarious over Seige.

Is "None of the above" not an option?

With great powers comes great responsibility.

That's silly.  Even if we assume the government would be be willing to experiment on someone, the best defense against that sort of thing would be to make your existence public.  I can't think of any public figure beloved by millions who has ever been vivisected.

Anyway, to answer the OP question, do I have to choose just one power?  If so, I cheat, and choose the Power Cosmic.  If that's not acceptable, then mastery of magnetism.  I would be a superhero, in the Miracleman vein.  Which is to say,  I would fuck shit up.

Yeah because if there is one thing humanity is known for - it's being very accepting of those who are different.

Also, if your existence is public, you don't have to worry about keeping to the shadows while you toss an aircraft carrier into the Capitol Building.

They may not be accepting, but at least in this country at the current time it's difficult for the government hold you without charges for the purpose of dissecting you.

Anyway, I'd probably be some kind of batty joke telling Superhero/villain.  Perhaps looking something like the fellow in my avatar.
