Why is it that superpowers are always wasted on superheroes who are, among other things, completely made up?
OK, don't answer that question. Instead ponder what would be the supernatural ability most beneficial to your non-world-saving everyday life.
Once you've voted, check out the pros and cons of your choice after the jump. As an added bonus, we've used our mind-reading powers and included a simple explanation as to why you selected the superpower that you did.
Mind ReadingPros: Financial negotiations. Job interviews. The ability to pick up random chicks without having to resort to negging, peacocking or genuine charisma.
Con: You would be constantly reminded of your most noticeable shortcomings and foibles. It could get pretty hard to leave the house.
Why you picked it: Confused by the opposite sex.
InvisibilityPros: The locker rooms. The pranks. The being a fly on the wall anytime you wished you could have been a fly on the wall.
Cons: Would have to spend an awful lot of time and energy avoiding collisions, especially to the exposed groin area.
Why you picked it: You're up to no good.
FlyingPros: The shortest distance between two points is always a straight line.
Con: Being revealed as a mutant freak for all to see. Sunburn. These days, you can get much of the desired flight effect on Google earth..
Why you picked it: Spending more time on your daily commute than you would like.
Super strength Pros: Could be the only guy at the weight lifting competition with healthy testicles. Really good at opening jars. Bar-fight shark.
Cons: You will be used by friends and family as a pack animal. You will become an extremely dangerous sexual partner.
Why you picked it: Get revenge on childhood bullies.
Telekinesis Pros: Rarely have to leave your favorite chair. Not only can you make your boss's death look like an accident, but you can make it really goofy, like a falling piano.
Cons: Muscle atrophy. Everyone you get close to will eventually think they've gone mad.
Why you picked it: You're hopelessly lazy.

Actually, no, I didn't pick mind-reading because of confusion with the opposite sex. I picked it because if you think about it, that is the only one that would genuinely allow you to take over the world. Well, so would invisibility, but it would be EASIER with mind-reading. And I wouldn't want to pick invisibility and run the risk that you mean invisibility that I can't turn on and off at will.
Just a little information goes a long way. One bit of information can double your money. And I literally MEAN one BIT, a zero or a one. Anyone who has dabbled in the markets or gambling knows that. You don't need a strong edge. For that matter, you could take very rich people at poker for a lot of money very quickly as well with mind-reading. It would even give you a powerful edge in blackjack. You'd always know whether to take insurance. Though you should be wrong deliberately from time to time to avoid tipping them off.

I am not lazy! I chose telekinesis because it has lot more uses then you would think. You can lift shit with your mind! Like a car so who needs super strength? Or you can lift yourself so you can fly. You could use it to shield yourself or others from harm.
You could even use it offensively by using it to give alittle extra umph to a punch (if you even wanted to throw a punch so as not to give away the fact that you have such ablities) It would be awesome to hit someone with your fist at the same time as you strike out with your mind and send them flying. The looks on the faces of anyone that had seen would be priceless.
Ok Ive made my peace... you all have your reasons but mine is the best!

F: none of the above.
I'd pick the ability to kill plants with a touch, then I could start a truly organic (and super-effective) lawn care business!

Telekinesis. Hell yea. Not only would it be the #1 super power for prank pullers (look im sitting in my desk, all of a sudden a plane falls from the sky and hits the school). Also you could do everything while sitting on the couch. So what if we become extremely lazy, i can make popcorn while still watching the movie, and i can check the fridge whenever i want. Hell yes.

I PICKED TELE BUT NOT FOR THE REASONS LISTED BY YOUR TEAM,BUT IF YOU CAN PREVENT AN ACCIDENT OR PROTECT YOURSELF FROM HARM WHY NOT USE YOUR POWERS FOR THAT GOOD. SURE IT DOESNT HURT TO GET EVERYTHING FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR CHAIR BUT WENALL NEED SOME SORT OF EXCITEMENT IN OUR LIVES, BEING A COUCH POTATO WILL NOT DO FOR ME.

I'm constantly having to get boxes down from shelves at work, and that would be so much easier with telekinesis.
