Most of us know this character from the comic books, and the fact that he has a myriad of amazing powers thanks to his Kryptonian heritage. We all know: - Super Strength
- Invulnerability
- Flight
- Super Speed
- X-ray Vison
- Heat Vision
But there were also some relatively unknown powers of his: - Telescopic Vision
- Microscopic Vision
- Infra Vision
- Super Ventriloquism (?
 ) - Super Breath
So here’s my question: If you could have one of Superman’s powers, which would it be?

I'd have the x-ray vision so I could see into Mr Sleeps front room and find out exactly what he needs "super blowing" for.  | | |

Hmm...not X-Ray vision. I prefer to use my imagination for this. The reality's never as good as what my imagination comes up with anyway.  
Hmm....not superspeed...I already type faster than my computer can show it on the screen most the time.
Hmm...flight wouldn't be good. Then anyone would be able to kook up my skirt.
Hmm...infravision? Nah...I'd probably blind myself. 
Invulnerability would be nice. That way, when some idiotboy decides to hit me, they'll get hurt instead. | | |

Personally none of those.
I would either like Storms - from the X-men -power of the elements.
Or Magneto's power over metal.

| Actually, Magneto's power is over electromagnetic feilds. Thus the name "Magneto." He warps the Earth's own electromagnetic field to provide him flight.
Having wings like Angel(not those metal ones Archangel has) would be cool.  | | |

The ability to fly would be so cool... (Even if you couldn't wear mini-skirts)

| Sure... but you would then be wearing your briefs outside your spandex with a belt to support it (SUCH fashion!)
As for powers, I'd go for super speed. More efficient in a lot of things, like checking exams of my 350+ students ...
...aside of course of being able to satisfy my woman...

I would go for superstrength if I had to pick just one. picking up buildings, jumping incredibly high, all that would come with superstrength. After that would come X-ray vision so I could ahem study the effects of X-rays on women's skirts.
