Would you assume all the powers of Superman, if you could?
Tempting just to say yes -- as with telepathy, it's not like you are saying you would actually use your new abiilties, only that you would have the option -- but if absolute power really does corrupt absolutely...
I think I would turn out to be rather Tony Starkish. My motives would be good, and I would generally do the thing I believed right regardless of personal benefit, but there would also be occasional screwups.
