If you could have one super power what would it be?
I'd like the ability to make people I select sterile. And reverse sterility in people I consider deserving.
"I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

A bit longrange as to results. (well, the first part, the second might only take 9 months)
I'd vote with Seshat. Why shouldn't a healing power work on both oneself and others? I'm fine, I smile several times a day, but what I wouldn't give to be really well again.
I've always wanted a shape shifting power...and I mean true shape shifting, not just being able to look like another person. In addition to the obvious things (I mean, come on, it'd be awesome), there is the obvious trolling potential. I mean, being able to bounce down any street like a GMod Idiot Box character? I'd do that every damn day. Plus I bet I could figure out some way to cheat and shape shift extra brain cells to become a diabolical master...er, really..good...smartiepants?

I'm already an empath with a very dodgy Spidey-sense, sooo....hmm. Levitation. Not actual flight because I don't do so well with heights, but being able to just hover around everywhere would be kinda fun. And it would make getting outta the house a lot easier.

You could solve world hunger by accelerating the growth of food. no animals would ever need go extinct but if used wrong.. well could be disastrous.
World hunger is a distribution problem, not a quantity problem.
I can think of a few animals I'd like to go extinct (skeeters, I'm lookin' at you!) but the enormity of figuring out which ones are doing so "naturally", and which by our (human) carelessness would be pretty daunting.
The ability to choose my superpower, dependent on what I have to do at that moment
Airline screwed up connections and I now have 2 minutes to get across the terminal? Teleport...but then I could dispense with a vehicle completely. Save money, hassle and time.
Pricing Guy wants me yet the front end is shorthanded? Invisibility or cloning, depending on how well I like who's running the front.
Nice customer wants something on the top shelf and as usual I can't find a stepstool? Levitation.
I think in general, the ability to instantly absorb and fully understand technical stuff I need to (programming languages, certification materials, etc).
