What superhero identity would you like to have

I'd take the superpowers any day over being an ordinary flawed human. Godmode works for me. ;)

I'm reminded of a Star Trek TNG episode where Picard and Riker are offered Q powers and both ultimately turn it down. The old power corrupts or at least makes you arrogant and annoying thing. How dare Riker be so familiar and non-deferential as to call his commanding officer by his first name? He couldn't deal with the power, made him forget his station

I would accept the "gift" of the Q continuum, although I could see drawbacks and strings attached (not a deal with the devil, but a deal with something of a Loki perhaps). I'd rather have Q powers over the current QWERTY powers that I possess.

Voting matter manipulation, reality warping would do nicely. turtle power also lends you the power of your close proximety, to create a localized time warp that slows time around you, but you yourself is unaffected by the warp, but the world slows, this is controlled mentally by emotion and motivation. So if you are late for a job / work thing you can just walk Nd all the world (in 10 meter radius) will sloow down. While you walk in normal time.

Awesome, then definitely count me in for turtle power!

Super penis.

I agree! I wouldn't want to be a "real" wizard in an unfitting setting. The only viable "super power" among the options is telepathy, I think. Telekinesis is also OK, but needs some serious caution. I wouldn't want them in this world too, though.
