If given superhuman powers, would you use them only for good?

I don't know... I'd probably power trip at least one person.

I'd be willing to bet that my powers would not be used for good until I was the benevolent emperor of the world...

It depends on how cool my powers were. I mean, if my superhuman power was growing my fingernails really fast, I'd use them for good only.

If my superhuman powers were xray vision and laserbeam eyes, nothing would be safe.

I'd use them for personal gain, even if you use them for good there's still the "collateral damage" but if you are king of the world then nobody cares if you brought down a couple of tower blocks.

With my luck, my superhuman powers would consist of toxic breath or super stringy mucous. Maybe sledge hammertoe. But I do know it would almost certainly not be a good addition to my resumé of physical traits.

But, if I got lucky enough to have a cool power, I would exploit it to impress teh wiminz.

Where else would they shower?

I'd assume most rooms wouldn't be appropriate due to the mess involved.

That's the thing you see, while they are in the shower he sneaks into the bedroom while they aren't there and steals the cards.

It makes being invisible pretty redundant...unless they hear him go "ooh this will buy me lots of shiny things!" and they come to investigate.

I would use my powers mostly for revenge, teaching lessons to people who piss me off on the road.

Man, with sledge hammertoe, I could become the greatest kicker in NFL history, with a record-setting hall-of-fame career.

Nah, with my luck, I'd probably wind up playing for the Lions!
