Is it an anti-hero that helps people, yet still uses their powers for bad? Because that'd be me. I'd get what I want illegally if I had to, but see those guys attempting to steal that bloke's car after they just belted the crap out of him? Yeah, them. They're going to hospital.
love the fact that Superhero and Destroyer of Worlds are in exact proportions to each other in regards to votes.
I have almost no idea why "Other" is picked by so many though; mayhap the choices are too black and white.
I picked "Superhero", but that label is but a matter of opinion; Batman is not a superhero in the eyes of criminals, he's a bully. Same goes for Superman, and the villains crave vengeance after their encounter with the massively overpowered superheroes.
I imagine my actions would not deem me as a Superhero by the government or the majority of people; such is the life for an arbitrator with actual force behind them. Since following on your own accord will always clash blades with others; only this time they would barely have toothpicks and you have a Zweihänder.

I'd probably go and destroy people I deem detrimental to society. People who haven't broken any laws but spend a majority of their time abusing, hating and harming people nonetheless.
My first action, as a demonstration, would be to murder a majority of the Westboro Baptist Church and chain up their corpses on the side of a building with the message 'FAIRLY WARNED BE YE SAYS I' painted in huge letters around them.
I'd also devote a lot of time and effort to space exploration and other technological developments. I'd go to Mars and see what information and samples I can bring back that would be helpful in establishing a colony.

I would be an elite member of the Military... Having an aliegence with one side is always an advantage, and my previous experience would help! Also there is less ambiguity on the law, and whether it applies, as the Law of Armed conflict allows for a lot more to be legal!
I think, honestly, most people would be a criminal, or some kind of antihero. Selfishness and desiring power is simply human nature. I'd love to have everyone under my command and being able to demand both respect and fear with a click of the fingers, maybe even partly as revenge for what society has done to me. But I wouldn't completely turn to the dark side, so I wouldn't kill people without batting an eyelid for my own gain, and I'd still occasionally try to improve other people's lives. When I got bored, I'd just fly into space and/or to other planets and check them out, but not destroy any.
As someone else said, I might just do a Dr. Manhattan.

Pretty sure I'd use my powers for nothing but personal gain.
Taking over the world is strangely alluring.

I'd choose something along the lines of the DBZ characters; acting primarily out of the sight of the public all the while doing my own thing.
I've always been able to see the arguments of both sides of an argument and were I to act in my view of the "betterment" of mankind I would probably be seen as a villain to most people; forcing people to compromise by force generally isn't the accepted behavior of a "good" guy.

I'd intend to be a superhero, but I may end up accidentally destroying the very things I wish to save which would make me a tragic villain.
While it is my desire to be a superhero if given the superpowers but in reality I will be a supervillain well a super robber at most.
I mean yes I would like to lived up to the ideal of a superhero (fight crime) to raise hope in some people but I can't bare the media branded me as a vigilante or trollist comments from the internet. Sure I would be willing to hand myself in to the goverment if they would train me to be an agent of some sort but they will most likely to experiment on me than to see me as a assent to them.
Beside I would have given into my selfish greed.

I voted for "Something Else" because I feel I would probably straddle the line between "Superhero" and "Supervillian". I wouldn't go out of my way to hurt other people or cause any undue distress, but at the same time, I would right a few wrongs in my own life.
What else? A god. With that power, the world would be at my feet, begging me to spare them. I would, of course. Then subjugate them and force them to bow to my every whim! And then...
I will create a new world, free of evil. And I... will be the god of that new world that everyone desires! etc., etc..

I chose "destroyer of worlds". Infinite power granted to a species that have a habit of murdering each other for not having the same way of thinking is not a good idea. I was going to pick "superhero", but what happens when you go the Rorschach route and start seeing everyone as unworthy of saving? I wouldn't necessarily destroy the actual world, but I would attempt to destroy the world as we know it, removing any trace of humanity I could so that the planet itself can start again.
Hmm..now that I think about it, we've pretty much already gotten that "destroyer of worlds" part down, and we don't even need superpowers.

Superheroes wouldn't exist, though, unless you believe that you having superpowers means others would too. Or maybe you were joking.Dragonclaw said:A smart criminal stays well under the radar...no "super villain" hijinx for me thanks..that gets you ponded on by super-heroes, and greatly limits your ability to walk down the streets without attracting too much attention. I'd be just evil enough to live comfortably.
I see your point, though. It could go all "Heroes" and the government might try to catch me, either for quarantine, to kill me or extract my powers for their own gain.
