Which 2 super powers would you have and what would you do?
Discussion
Further to watching a few superhero movies, my friends and I have been discussing this.
So here are the rules we came up with:
1. Choose two super powers (hint: there’s always one goon who chooses a power that let’s you become the genie of the lamp, so you can do anything. Don’t be that guy!).
2. In the spirit of PH choose a couple of “performance enhancing modifications” of choice to work alongside your superpower. To keep this “realistic”, let’s allow only a couple of modifications per power.
3. Decide what the first thing you would do with your new powers would be.
4. Decide what you’d do for a living with your powers.
I reckon that today, I’d go for limitless flight and invisibility (as in I choose when to fly and become invisible, it’s not a permanent state of affairs!).
I’d modify the flight power to let me breathe, see, navigate and stay warm at any speed/height temperature. For invisibility, I’d modify the power to let me turn any object I wanted invisible too. This is to counter the Invisible Man’s “problem” of having to go starkers to do any invisible stuff and to be able to carry things.
I reckon the first thing I would do is go fly to the top of some awesome mountains and just enjoy the view, followed swiftly by getting in a super car, turning myself invisible, and going past every front facing speed camera in the country and when the inevitable letter arrives, ask the camera partnerships to please let me see photographic evidence of the driver.
Lastly, I reckon I’d become a highly paid secret agent who rids the world of bad guys and does other top secret stuff in exotic locations.
(On any other day, I’d really LOVE to be Magneto with a few tweaks…).

Only need one

I won't bother explaining why

Super Voyeur to save the day... I mean perv.
Damn it beaten.
How about a 3rd one that would put the first two to good use? The ability to fire shotgun like supersonic spunk at crims. So you go perv a bit, stand to attention then go kill some scum.

Invisibility.
Just so I could play out the following scenario. Go to a lamborghini dealers and just drive away one of their cars. The look on peoples faces as a car just drives away on its own.
I would then drive to a busy high-street and park it up.
No-one would see me get out, I could then pop round a corner, un-invisible myself and walk up to my car, now surrounded by people wondering how the hell it drove itself there. Get in and drive away, as if the car came and picked me up.
Everyone would want one of these Lamborghinis that can drive itself.

Shape shifter with Time-travel\Time freezing abilities.
I think that covers most of the bases.
I thought about Time freezing on the way home from work the other day. I had the idea that if I could freeze time my commute wouldn't be half as bad. I would leave the office and arrive home at the same time. Then I realised that all the cars would be frozen, blocking the road and I would never get home. I think that covers most of the bases.
So I shelved those plans. See, it's always the little details that get you!

Chocolate flavoured sh*t and the ability to shape cum!
I will admit... that is an interesting Power you are investing in there. Perhaps not the most useful?
eta - just realised you have changed it! damn you.
