Basically, what is the Super-You, the Ideal you would like to be?

For example, I would make myself smarter. I already consider myself smart, but I mean SCARY smart, and I would also make myself a Super Sleuth.

So, what is your superego?

My superego was purged from my being by six generations of careful selective breeding. Instead, I have two seperate personas which I involuntarily adopt at day and night, respectively. They are as different as black and white; but curiously, each of them imagines the other as their ideal state of being.

I feel as if my super ego would be a very annoying thief that steals things for attention and to mess with "super heros" as opposed to actually wanting said things.

Mine would actually be a man bent on causing chaos without ever harming a single person. Instead, I would trick my superhero rival into doing the killing.

My superego is a bit more critically thinking, taking in the situation before rushing in, and using his genius I.Q. cleverly instead of wasting it on games. So me, only paying more attention.

That's actually very interesting, don't know how that would work though.

I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means

superego(noun): The part of the mind that acts as a self-critical conscience, reflecting social standards that have been learned.

You're probably meaning Übermensch or similar.

I've had moments where I got trough life being my own super ego , being funny and spontaneous. We all have them in us, but at some points in life they are just dormant for some reasons.

Hmmm, I guess I'd have to divide it into appearance and personality :D

Personality:
Mysterious but helpful and kind, probably alot like the average vigilante or super hero xD

Appearance:
Shirtless wearing a black hooded trench coat with back pants/jeans with various markings and chains embedded into my clothing. I wouldn't be too "buff" but I would be all if not mostly muscle but not like a tank just defined and big enough :D

I'd be the average super hero but I'd be strong enough to not have to worry about thinking things through, not because I'm stupid, just because I'm lazy. XD

More dependent, uncaring, solve puzzles easily. The kind of guy that you pass a Rubik's Cube only to be passed back completed in a few minutes. I'd also like to be in better shape and be more attractive and people actually try to be with me instead of the other way round. Also, some cool clothes that are hard to find. Be intelligent in a way that actually helps academically. When I speak everyone else stops. And when I say something poignant people actually take it in.

I want the power to start random song and dance routines at the most inconcievable of times.

Freud was a cocaine junkie though, which makes you paranoid and impotent, so I'm gonna go with the idea you were looking at the physical alter-ego, rather than the mental super-ego. :)
