If you could have one superpower...

As cool as all of these would be, recall that most of them would involve violating several laws of physics (and trust me, you do not want to deal with the physics police - even the most minor infraction requires you to fill out more forms than are involved in an IRS audit).

Instead, I'd like to have full technical schematics of all tech (past, present, and obsolete) in the SW universe, as well as knowledge of the underlying scientific principles. Not only would this be a fairly simple matter, but it would:

1. Provide me with instant access to wealth and power, by allowing me to "invent" these devices mellinea before they would otherwise be developed.
2. Allow me to use this wealth and power to take over the world (really, once I start building 200 GT warheads, even the US will keep it's distance)
3. Once I have taken over the world, I can abolish all the lawyers.
4. Having done that, I begin programs to upgrade Earth to SW level tech, which should take no more than a couple of centuries. (I'll upload my brain into a computer at the earliest possible time so that I may live to see the end of that program)
5. I find that idiot DarkStar (who I shall have preserved in cryostasis), and ask him to declare while standing in front of a 200 GT turbolaser that ST would have a chance vs. SW, thereby at last forcing him to concede defeat. (And if not, we get to enjoy a nice mushroom cloud )

Super strength. If super durability could be tossed in, even better.

1: Problems with patent offices and also that everybody will be trying to kidnap you or steal the plans.

2: There is the problem of actually ACQUIRING the materials for those warheads...

3:Nothing bad about that, except that lawyers have cockroach-like resilience...

4: There is a thing called resistance to change. Plus, the politicians might not go along. A military invasion might also be troublesome.

5: Much as I would like this to happen... Darkstar will probably keep ranting that "MIKE SUCKS! MIKES SUCKS!" even as Exterminatus is applied to him.

If you were exposed to radiation in a freak accident, and you could choose which superpower oyu wanted, which one would it be? And, "all of the above" is not an option.

I've always liked the idea of flying, and I find I can do so upon occassion when I'm dreaming. Leads me to a strange story:

Went through US Army Airborne School several years ago (I'm what they call a Five-Jump Chump). The school teaches you all the correct methods of exiting an aircraft, checking your canopy, guaging wind direction, steering your chute, etc. Well, I had a dream the other night that I and a crew of soldiers were jumping from a WW2 German plane (have no clue why I was exiting that kind of bird). I was first out the door. I looked to the jumpmaster and stepped out .... and forgot everything. I was flailing through the air, when I thought to myself, "I'm not doing this right." So I crossed my legs at the ankles (NOT the way to position your legs by the way) and reached up to grab my risers -- only they weren't there. The wind was screaming next to my ears louder by the second. Looking down, the ground was getting awfully close, awfully quick. Just as I realized I was about to become a dirt dart, I thought to myself, rather eerily calmly, "I'm dead..." At that moment my wife woke me up -- talk about perfect timing....

[Bug-Eyed Earl]

Complete mental control over every atom in my body.

What this means I can willfully make happen instantly anything the body normall does slowly.

I could shave my head, and make my hair long again the next day.

I could heal injuries.

I can instanyly clear up my skin.

I can eat and drink anything I want and not gain weight.

I can pump up my musculature and flexibility in seconds.

I can grow my dick to the perfect size to fill any woman to the max without
tearing her love canal.

I can break my teeth and grow new ones.

I can regenerate lost body parts.

And so on. I guess also I would never get sick- from constipation to cancer, None of that would bother me.
