1) Super speed - While super strength would be great, it doesn't help anybody if you can't get there in time to help them. I was always a big Flash fan, and remember several ways he could manipulate the environment using his super speed (shockwaves, passing through walls, etc) so with that you can get to the problem, get the job done, and back in time for dinner ;)

2) Greatest Orator ever - I think reading minds would drive me insane after awhile, though it would help national security in the short run. But to be able to persuade and influence large numbers of people - that's where it's at...

3) Vampire - I don't see any practical application to being a werewolf - change at full moon, become basically a feral animal once every thirty days or so (sort of like my wi-- no, scratch that). But being a vampire also means changing into a bat, which would be fun. I'm not sure I would like being either one, though.

4) Internet - I survived without the internet until I was 20, I can survive it again. But give up pizza, hamburgers, or watermelon? Give me a break ;)

1. Super speed: Barry's nailed it.

2. Read minds. And work for the greatest orator who ever lived. That's a surefire plan for world domination.

3. Hm...vampire, I guess. There's just something distasteful about being a female werewolf.

4. That's a tough one. If I really HAD to choose, I'd give up solid foods. Dim sum is good, by information is more important.

1. I think I'd pick super strength, because we have cars and planes for going fast when you need to.

2. I'd have to go with reading minds. It's tough though.

3. I was thinking of a werewolf who could control his shape-changing at will. Vampires can't go out during the day, or anything, and that would suck. Vamipres are certainly cooler monsters, but I think I'd rather be a werewolf, just because of all the disadvantages a vampire faces.

4. Argh. Probably solid foods. I simply couldn't do most of what I do in life without the internet.

1. Super speed. Time's more important than weight.
2. Reading minds. I'm a reticent person by nature and could use this skill without having to be the center of attention.
3. A werewolf. A werewolf doesn't have to live at the expense of people.
4. Take away the Internet. I have enough magazine subscriptions to keep me in reading material.

1. Super strength -- and a really fast car.
2. Michelle's got it right.
3. Werewolf. It'd be kind of like being in the monsters' National Guard, whereas being a vampire is a fulltime deployment.
4. Just shoot me.

1. Super speed. Strength is useless if your target moves too quickly to hit...

2. Telepathy. The greatest orator in the world will never be as good at persuading individuals as someone who knows every thought and feeling they're experiencing. I'd persuade an orator to persuade the mobs for me.

3. Vampire. Half the people who meet me think I am one anyway, may as well get the cool powers to go with it.

4. Solid foods. Information is a far more valuable source of sustenance.
