From the ones on the list...I'd say telekinesis...mainly because I wouldn't have to get my hands dirty....

Well I'd take the Soviet Union... oh wait, you mean you aren't talking about that kind of Superpower? Guess I'll take immortality then.

Bloody hell. Right, immortality =/= invincibility. If you're invincible, you physically can't be hurt. There is no possible way you could die. If you're simply immortal, old age and disease won't kill you, so provided no-one sticks a piece of metal through something important, you won't die. If you're just immortal, you can still be killed.

Out of those choices, probably none. I don't really want superpowers, but to be enhanced with cybernetics/bionics or whatever you want to call them. Think I robot and Deus Ex.
In some cases of immortality, you can get stabbed in the heart and STILL NOT DIE.
That would be invincibility then. And what do you mean, in some cases? Has there been reported cases of immortality?
Well, super powers are not real (for now) but in the first pirates of the carribean, if you steal some of the treasure you remain immortal and can not die until the treasure is returned. like in the last battle where Jack Sparrow gets stabbed but doesn't die. The down side, you appear as a skeleton in moon light.

A combo of immortality and invisibility.

edit: Oh, actually, what I would really like would be the ability to make time stop, rewind and go forward.

With telekenises, you might be able to achieve all of them. You'd probably need to have a vast knowledge of science, though.

A power and a force that you've never seen before.

I'd want the ability to morph, to even up the score.

No one, would ever take me down.

The power would lie on my Si-i-i-i-ide.

Yeah... Being a Ranger would rock.

Was a hard choice for me between invisibility and telekinesis. Went with invisibility.

But with some caveats.

1) No heat signature, so the only way to be tracked is scent and physical signs (foot prints, sound, etc)

2)The ability to use it at will. Being permanently invisible would suck.

Telekinesis is a fun one, depending on the limits. Even just being able to fling pens at people would be amusing.

Pyrokinesis is another one that interests me. I mean, c'mon, it's FIRE. Anyone who doesn't like FIRE was obviously never in Boy Scouts. Or, you know, HUMAN. Once again, depending on the limitations of said ability, it's quite a useful one.

Imortality is one of those really, really twisted abilities. Not something I can claim to have any interest in.
Everyone you know and love dies around you while you never age?
You age, you just don't die?
You can live forever if no one kills you first?
You heal from any wound, including death?

The last one maybe... but eh.

And wings? Can you imagine having to learn how to use those muscles? Much less TRAINING and strengthening them?

Yeah, I'm sticking with Invisi.

Wouldn't that make you age faster? Since you're still living while time is frozen or moving?

IF YOU CANNOT BE DAMAGED, YOU ARE INDESTRUCTIBLE, NOT IMMORTAL.

Yes, caps were necassary.

How come people keep saying flight in terms of Pyrokinesis. What the fuck about controlling fire makes you able to fly?

Well, the called it immortality in the movie, so I just assumed that was immortality. Guess they were wrong.

out of the options there, id say telekinisis cause its badass
but if it was an option, i would pick shapeshifting, which covers pretty much any super power

Invisibility, hands down. I can steal a hell lot of games, get a proper computer, and ninja myself out of any situation.

I choose flight, because of the fact that would be most useful compared to the rest, even immortality.
Telekinesis, is just too much for me.
Immortality, I'd rather die then live forever , because I would not like the fact of seeing my loved ones die one after another and that people would hunt be down to dissect me to find the reason I was Immortal and not die from that.
Invisibility would be fun, but how do you see yourself.
Pyrokinetes, is almost absolutely useless skill because what are really going to burn that's actually legal.
One more thing, why didn't you add powers like Fast Regeneration or
The power to change form into any humanoid with animal trait's (wings, claws, carnivorous jaws, tails, etc).
Of course that would just be my opinion.
