Superpowers
If you could have one superpower, which would it be? For example, I would be invisible.

Ah, yes, I'm already dreaming of all the frolicking in places where women believe they are "private". (Hey, I can dream, can't I?)

If hot naked women are out of the question, then, hell, shapeshifting sounds pretty awesome. Especially if one can gain the characteristics of their new shape. If not, then it's still awesome.

I'd settle for the old stand-by, flight.

Shapeshifting; hm. Could turn into a clock or something in a girl's locker room.

Flight, I could fly up and hide on the ceiling or something, I just hope they don't look up

Now, if I knew everything, then I'd know how to woo women and wouldn't need any other superpowers.

And if I took the USA , then I'd have plenty of women at my disposal. You have no idea how eager interns are to be ****ed and suddenly disappe...er...I never said that.

Flying would be great. No more paying for expensive cars. Your hair would always be a mess though.

I'd imagine things, and they'd build themselves without me doing any work.

Teleporting would be really cool.
No time lost for Transit I´m always loosing 1 h getting to and back from University. Or better, not exactly loose, as I can use part of the time in Transit to read, learn and the like, but that´s something I can also do @home
Of course Teleportation should involve all of your Clothes you wear and everything you carry with you. It could be disturbing for other people at university to see you appear out of Nothing in the Lecture Room, but even more disturbing if you appear there naked.

But Shapeshifting or reading minds could also be great (should be useful, flirting with a woman and knowing exactly what she thinks )

Telepathy/mind control.

With one power you gain access to the rest.
