What if it was real X-rays?

x-ray vision

I'd use it to cheat at poker in vegas :groucho:

Or go on Deal or No deal and pick the million dollar briefcase on round 1.

While Superspeed and Invulnerability are damned tempting, it would have to be Flight.

Invulnerability.

All you have to do is carry around grenades from that point. Hold 'em in your hand and tell people to act right or else.

Invulnerability - If it's total, I wouldn't be able to get drunk. No thanks.
Flight - can only fly so high before you freeze and so fast before you run into something, and without invulnerability, landing would be a bitch.
Super Strength - again, needs invulnerability
Super Speed - for best results, it needs invulnerability
Super hearing - I'd never be able to focus on just the one thing I wanted to listed to
X-Ray, Macro, Micro, Radio or Heat vision - I have corrected vision, what prescription do I need to make any of these work?
Freeze breath - uh... no thanks
Super-Intelligence/Recall - WINNER. Apart from being Jeopardy champion for 8 years straight, I could apply all that I need to study to artificially duplicate everything listed above.

I've always liked the solar-battery part, so regeneration for me.
To develop their conscience and consciousness, to make them aware of what is going on, to prepare the precarious ground for the future alternatives—this is our task: "our" not only as Marxists but as intellectuals, and that means all those who are still free and able to think by themselves and against indoctrination, communist as well as anticommunist.

Hmm..let's say your eyes and the area surrounding your eyes would be immune to the effects of the heat vision. Kinda like how Cyclops doesn't fuck up his eyes every time he uses his optic blasts.

Well you'd have the ability to turn it on and off just like Superman does.
