What Would You Do With a Superpower?

In most superhero stories I've ever read or watched, the main character began fighting crime and evil the moment he or she received their super abilities. Alternatively, they used them to make money. Worm's Skitter or Eddie Spinola from The Dark Fields are two good examples.

Personally, the world I'm living in is probably too normal for this sort of thing. I used to daydream about becoming invisible or invincible, asking myself: what would I do then? Should I go to third-world countries to rid them of their dictators? Or to South America to confront drug cartels? And the more I thought about it, the more I realized this wasn't really viable. Most likely, I'd just keep on living like I used to, while trying to do the same for myself and my friends — trying to change their lives for the better.

Which is exactly what Phil, the hero of Level Up, is trying to do. He rescues his friends from all sorts of trouble and tries to make a little bit of money for himself. And still, his new abilities keep forcing him into a far-reaching, global picture…

In the meantime — what would you do if you received a superability?
