This would enable me to commit many "crimes" and get away with them! For example, as Trump holds a rally, I could creep him out with a few nudges and whispers. I could also dig plenty of dirt and cause chaos throughout the Republican party.

… into large, remote mosquito-infested swamps. (Without their autos. And without insect repellent, of course.)

It’s a fantasy that calms me when BillyBob is tailgating me in his monstrously huge truck.

I simply want to be God. All powerful, all knowing.

The ability to change the past, the present and the future.

There would simply be NO Trump, no MAGA, no dictators and their cronies. No racism, no genderism.

I don't know if I would allow any free will that would lead to the creation of inequality. Maybe, but there would be constraints on it.

Yes, I would be the dictator of the world, but a benevolent dictator.

All bow down before the one and only Lapfog!

Ha! I would not have Darrin/Durwood/Dumbo around. This means my house would always be clean and I could live it up with Aunt Clara, Uncle Arthur, and Serena. My roast would always be in the oven and my kitchen immaculate. If I had a headache, ‘Calling Dr. Bombay, calling Dr. Bombay’. And, lastly, the delight of driving Mrs. Kravitz bonkers.

I’d like the ability to give myself any of the superpowers whenever I wish! At any one time, a given power (flying, invisibility, reading thoughts, teleportation,…) might be useful. So I like to keep options open!

Flying seemed like a good one until he really thought about it. Figured that if you aren't also invincible, you will likely wipe out or fly into a bird and plummet to your death...
