I would only use my powers if necessary for me to live. like my mind powers to grab the remote. or to know the books out of the hands of a kid I don't like. you know, important stuff.

Does melting badguys faces off count as good? I mean you have to teach them a lesson. They're sure as hell not doing it again with a melted face no sir!

I often contemplate how i can use my real world talents for the good of man. I want a brighter future for my children. So it is only natural that i would use my super powers whatever they may be for the peaceful advancement of the human race.

I would honestly be neither, but the 2nd option is the closest to my opinion. I would go about the town/city/county/country/universe with my awesome powers and just fuck around.

I like how they assume we don't already have powers and simply hide amongst the norms, using our powers in secret in massive coliseums built by others with powers until there is only one who has proven they are the most powerful, or most intelligent, and lead the rest of us to conquest over the others, to be guided (or ruled if you must) by our superiority.

I would have to hide my powers. Then evaluate how to use it assuming that I know how to use my powers to its potential.

If you were suddenly imbued with magical superpowers, would you use them for good or evil? Well, according to a study [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104293-Super-Power-Corrupts-Most-People-Would-Be-Villains] conducted by a team at Northwestern University in Chicago, most people would probably use their powers to harm, not help. What would you do?

you should have added an option saying "Both cause depending on your mood..."

I don't think it'd be evil so much as "I have the power to run this place, so I'm going to." I have been given something that puts me apart from others, and I'm going to use it, that's how it works. I would probably be closer to benevolent, but it wouldn't be vigilante justice, it would be one ruler of the world.

I'd be Doctor Doom. Maybe toeing the evil line, a bit self-interested, but not Chaotic Evil.

If you're good at something, never do it for free. I wouldn't hurt anyone, but I could certainly see myself exploiting my power for large sums of cash :D
Damn you took the words right outta my mouth, for the most part...I might hurt people if the money was right.

Pardon me being a smartass, but if you're a "Super Hero" I think the choice of being good and evil was already decided.

In all seriousness, I'd probably just try to lie normally, and chip in when I can.

I would be one of those people who want to take over the world, but I wouldn't be evil. I mean I love Batman but he doesn't kill anyone, so the bad guys just escape and start all over again. If they were truly effed up, I'd probably kill them. I would take over the world and under my rule everything would be alright. There wouldn't be war and those who fought would be dealt with swiftly but not harshly. Everyone would think I was evil while taking over the world and they would try to stop me, but since I am so awesome, they can't. Then after I establish my rules everyone would be like "Oh everything is so lovely now, all shits and giggles. Would you like some tea?"
