I would use my telekinesis to take revenge on all the people who have been mean to me in my life (I have a list), a la "Carrie".

Nononononononono...

That's too simple. What you need to do is:

We would expect a ridiculously long and drawn-out murder plot from a villain like the Joker, a man by whom all clearly deranged and psychopathic murderers are measured. But this one had to have taken the assistance of a room full of supercomputers, and several psychics.

We're guessing the planning went something like this:

"First, we find two empty buildings. Without the cops noticing, we'll secretly sneak in hundreds of drums of explosive liquids, and wire all of them to explode. Next, we'll orchestrate an attack on the convoy transporting Harvey Dent. This will involve blocking busy streets, blowing police helicopters out of the air and launching missiles at the armored car. All of this will be done, not to kill Dent (though that could happen at any moment) but to cause Batman to intervene so that he will throw me in jail.

"So far so good..."

Then, while the whole town is on alert, we go ahead and have our henchmen kidnap both Dent and Rachel Dawes and strap them in with the bombs in the two abandoned buildings. Then I'll send Batman after one of them, knowing that this will result in Rachel being killed and Dent being a certain distance from the explosion as to become grotesquely injured and disillusioned. Then I'll blow up the jail without accidentally killing myself. Gentlemen, it couldn't be simpler."

[HEADING=2]The Problem:[/HEADING]

Really nothing, as long as absolutely every single event happens exactly as it did in the film, down to the millimeter and microsecond. If the rocket blows up Dent's armored car instead of hitting the Batmobile, if the Batmobile doesn't happen to have a motorcycle hidden inside it, if somebody clears the makeshift roadblock out of the way before the convoy gets there, if traffic allows the cops to get to Rachel before Batman gets to Dent, if a cop happens to be stations out in front of Rachel's building when the cops get the coordinates, if a hunk of debris from the building hits Dent and kills him as he's escaping the explosion...

You get the idea.

[HEADING=2]A Better Way:[/HEADING]

The Joker makes a bullet disappear by shooting Rachel in the face.

Anyway, on topic: I'd probably just go all God-like on some random criminal's ass. And I don't mean donkey...

If i had nightcrawlers powers of teleportation, and invisible mans powers of invisibility...

The first second AND third thing i would do is rape anyone i want.

-edit-

Is this too far for the escapist forums? I mean i would so seriously do this, no repercussions. Id also kill a poor person to find out what it feels like.

Whatever superpower I've obtained, I would spend the first few days testing it somewhere remote, learning my limits, and just how much power I do have on tap.

Then I start being a good guy, just because.

I would develop dual super hero personas. I mean being the good guy is all kinds of great. However even as a super hero I would want the comforts and lifestyle that can only be afforded to the super villain. That and I would have inside information on other superheroes to sell to the highest bidder.

Just to throw some powers out.
1. Phase walking. (Its just criminal)
2. Force Barrier/Push (Pure good guy move with some evil aplications.)
3. Flight. (Flight is good for all times.)

In this order more or less:
1) Make up a cool name
2) Get Minions... yes! Minions to do my bidding...
3) set up evil lair somewhere off the beaten path..
4) ? *shurg*
5) take over the world!

I would keep my powers a secret and use them for the greater good. To start with, I would get used to my powers by fighting crime in the inner cities and suburbs (statistically the countryside doesn't have nearly the same crime rate).

After that I would escalate things and look for others with superpowers, all the while maintaining my secret identity.

Declare myself god, then go drinking.

Hopefully I get the telekineses/telepathy double feature. As I've argued before, it pretty much covers all your bases superpower wise.

I would go flying, if I could do that...

I would try to keep my powers a secret, maybe manipulating stuff from the shadows, but nothing really big.

But I know I wouldn't go running around in tights. A cape, maybe, but no tights.

I'd pull a Tobey-Parker and get acquainted with my newfound powers like in the first Spider-Man flick.

No repercussions? Somehow, I don't think the victim would agree.

Also, you should see Hitchcock's film Rope.
