Immortal
Only drawback,
I will not age, but everyone around me will,
everyone i love, will end up dead or dieing infront of me,
If i get hit by a bus, i would probably exist in pain for all eternity. (i'll be a cripple, like superman!)
(Please don't hit me with a BUS)

I'm going to assume that the powers presented here are Immortality, Invincibility, Invisibility, or Intelligence.
Among those, I'd probably choose Invincibility. Nothing could hurt me, but I'd still die when my time was up, so I wouldn't necessarily have to watch everyone I love grow old and die while I remain unaging. Best of both worlds.

Either invisibility or invincibility.
Both would be incredible fun.
Immortality? That would be more of a curse.

[edit]You're a non-native English speaker? Geez, don't worry about spelling then. I wish my second language was as good.[/edit]
On topic. it's a hard decision for me. I think invincibility would cool, but I'm not that afraid of the world as it is. Invisibility would be pretty sweet, but would it always be on? That'd be difficult. Intelligence? Well I already have that...
I chose immortality. While knowing that everyone will die before me, that doesn't scare me all that much. First, people always die around us. So that happens anyway. You form new connections and live on. Imagine being able to see the world around you change for many many years to come. Imagine learning every language, and traveling the world. Wouldn't that be sweet? Actually, immortality would be better if it was just a really long lifetime. I think after a few lifetimes worth, it'd get kinda old. However, if I was immortal but not invincible, I could just choose when it's time for me to go. Hopefully I'd do it with grace and not at a time I'm depressed (like when my first friends die off).

Yours would be too if you had 2.5 years to learn English. Gramma ("wat the???) In my native tongue, we have no Gramma, it is non-existent!!!
So, post in the "for all U spelling NAZI thread"
For 2 and a half years, your English is exceptional.
Out of interest: What is your native language if you say there is no grammar?
Chinese?

We opted for the free education in Australia, and nearly free Tertiary education.(unless you are making 30,000 you never have to pay it back through TAX) That's Rights!!! I don't have to pay a DIME right now and im studying 2 degrees!!!
That�s probably 8000+ AUS $$$ I don't have to worry about until I make my money as a professional, and if I end up being a BUM, its ok, I don't have to pay it back, EVER!!!!
Well, if it wasn't obvious, my comments were in jest, whether or not English is your first language. But I'm curious too, is it? If not, what is?

This was suppose to be a fun thread,
But instead we get people bashing each other and Nip Picking.
This forum should be called WhingeNN.

Erm, you WILL age, you just won't die.
You want invinsibilty if you don't wanna age or get hurt by a bus.

I want to be intelligent enough to build an invisibility machine. And super armor to make me invincible.
Yes. Intelligence is the key...

Do you people ever visit non-Mac sites? Ever go to HomestarRunner.com? Ever see the email "Invisibility?" http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail41.html
Here's how it goes:
strong bad,
what would you do if you were invisable for one day????
sin studly17
a> Well dumb name, this is something I've often thought about myself. And I came to the conclusion that... I don't really think being visible prevents me from doing whatever I want to do. So I'd probably just do the kind of stuff I'd normally do.
And it goes on. Watch it, it's funny.

Intelligence.
Then I would invent an invisibility potion and a force field.
Best of all worlds.
Hey, maybe I don't need that intelligence after all...

I'd put a bullhorn and a bucket on the end of my arms too. Sure beats a laser.

I voted for intelligent. I would never want to be immortal. Seeing the world change around you would be cool, but otherwise it would really suck.

Invisible: While sneaking around would be cool for a while, the novelty would wear off and I'd want to be seen.
Intelligence: Is often a curse, you can be too smart for your own good.
Immortal: No thanks. Life's long enough already.
Invincible: The best of the presented choices. Not being able to get hurt would come in handy in many situations. I don't like pain.

My super power: Indivisibility
That's right. You can't split my atoms.. no surreeee.
Nor can you divide me evenly by any number. (ie. it's not the case that me|x, where x is an element of the real numbers)

You left incredible stupidity off that list. With it you can actually think you have all 4 powers and it's far more attainable IMHO.
