Also, what about not super powers, but say there was some wonder drug that could make you smarter/stronger/more attractive/etc.. would you go for that?

Well I think the thing about the wonder drug is I wouldn't want to be left behind. If it was financially viable and everyone else was taking them to be smarter stronger etc. I would too - depending on the side-effects (of course).

As for super powers, you bring up some good thoughts but I think I WOULD want them.

I would use them to do good and tell all my friends so they can keep me in line ego-wise etc.

I also might use them to stop people from cutting down the rainforest - BOOYAKA!!

But it doesn't seem as exciting as other super powers...
