7. Super strength

You don’t have to work out to get that hot bod, just get super strength (muscles and hot bods go together, just look at all the super heroes).  On top of that, you can lift your car.  Don’t worry about parallel parking, just place your car in the spot.  And if there’s a no parking sign, just lift it out of the ground and move it some where else.  See, there’s lots of great real-world applications for super strength.

Examples: Superman, Hulk, Thing

6. Super intelligence

Ok, take this one to the extreme.  This is like, any language you hear, you instantly understand.  Or you can invent time machines out of coffee cans (even MacGyver failed there).  You could solve every unsolved mystery in the galaxy.  So many you won’t do all that yourself, but having a nice 400 I.Q. or something could make for some profitable endeavors.  Think of yourself as Bill Gates time a million.  Yeah, being smart might have sucked during grade school, but once you’ve made that first million, the suits and sluts will be lining up.  Or sluts in suits, whatever you’re into.

Examples: Braniac 5, Mister Fantastic

5. Invisibility

Whether you’re sneaking out of the house late or hiding in the girl’s locker room, invisibility comes in handy.  Do whatever you want and no one can see.  You could sleep at your desk and make your eye lids invisible (or just make your whole self invisible).  Plus, it’s fun to hang out in the snack room and watch people who don’t think anyone’s around.
Examples: Invisible Woman

4. Shapeshift

You can be anything you want to be.  Literally.  Just turn into it.  Turn into the president and make a silly speech.  Or turn into your worst rival at work and embarrass him(self) with your boss.  Or just turn into your boss and give yourself a promotion.  Yes shapeshifting offers a life of variety and joy.  Tired of being fat or bald.  Shapeshift into Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie and call it plastic surgery.  Your significant other will be very grateful (and they might even have some suggestions).
Examples: Mystique

3. Super speed

10 hours of work done in 10 seconds.  Screw the car, just run to California for the vacation.  With super speed, all the boring stuff can be done instantly.  Do all your chores in seconds giving you hours of video game playing time.  Get all of your work (and your co-worker’s) work done, impress your boss, get a promotion, and still have time for golfing all afternoon.  The only thing you have to worry about is being dragged to your kid’s school play.  Nothing speeds that up.

Examples: Flash

2. Telepathy
Telepathy just does everything.  Find out what people really think and use that to your advantage.  And if you don’t like what someone’s thinking, just change it.  Yeah, it’s really unethical, but this is made up anyway so go with it.  Yup, you can make the high school football team your work slaves and the cheerleaders your love slaves (or vice versa, gotta be equal opportunity).  Anything you want can be yours with just a thought.  Good stuff, huh.

Examples: Professor X

1. Telekinesis
A tough choice, but telekinesis takes the top spot.  Not only will it give you tons of power to get what you want, but it’s really fun.  You can make anything move with just a thought.  Want a soda?  Get one from the fridge with your mind and never leave your seat.  Type on your computer from a lounge chair.  No carpel tunnel.  And the power many people demand, flight, is all taken care of.  Just lift yourself and soar through the sky.  All with a little brain power.  Yes, your mind is good for something.

Examples: Jean Grey
