If it weren't for the undesirable super powers, this would be a harder question. I think it should be "You get to choose three powers or take the money." That would be STUPID hard to decide on.

For the record, I would choose flight, invulnerability, and the power to heal others over the money.

So then you'd be a doctor? Whoa, watch out!

A doctor fixes you up when he can. I'm talking the power to heal just about anything: AIDS, disembodiment, mental illness, STDs, cancer, whatever. And I think flying over to my patients would earn a lot of respect. Of course, someone might try to assassinate me because I'm taking all their patients, so invulnerability would help.

what is wrong with you people? i would gladly pay $100,000,000 out of my own pocket for a random super power, even if there was a risk of getting a lame one. and i wouldn't even stop to think if the powers cost me nothing. money is so overrated. then again, maybe i should consider the fact that my audience is just about the poorest bunch of people i know. but has it ever crossed your mind that you could have people pay you for your heroic deeds? or that your villainous deeds could be quite profitable? that is if you chose to walk that path.

Except that I couldn't make money if my super power was the ability to grow hair out of my toenails :P And not all the "cool" powers would be awesome for a given individual. For example, I wouldn't really want vicissitude - what need do I have to turn someone's body inside out? If I had $100 million, and we're accepting that we live in a world where super powers exist and are attainable, I'd spend the money to research and obtain a power I would actually want, such as teleportation. :D

And yes, your friends are broke!

there was a whole conversation that went with the perposed question that would have been difficult to summerize and put into above question. but you the $100,000,000 would not be enough to cover the cost of developing your own powers. just to get the procces down where you could only get a random power would cost lets say... $800,000,000 and the cost to devlope a specific power would cost billions!

consering others with super powers, the world is the exactly the same as the world we live in now. either A) no one else in the world has powes (except the stranger who alreday gave himslef all the powers on the list, this is to prevent somone getting a super power then try to use the power against the stranger and take the money from him). B) there may be other with super powers, but they are very rare, and are very well hidden from the public. C) you are the first persone to ever get super powers (excluding the stranger himself) but weather or not you are the last is up the the stranger.
