I would be neutral. Use my powers for the good of myself and those close to me, but not at the expense of others. Too much.

If you have superpowers, would you do good or become evil?

Become evil?Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

If I had superman like powers, i.e. near omnipotence, I would start out just doing it to get what I wanted. But I know that eventually, if someone angered me, I'd forget why I should resist the urge to crush their skull in my hands. It would pretty much go downhill from there.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

i'd probably end up trying for good, fail miserably, then proceed to rain hellfire down on my enemies, plagues, hoping to destroy mankind. i would then leave, thinking man is dead.
kinda like god."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

I'd satisfy all my personal needs in an "evil" fashion (e.g. raid banks to make myself rich), then do "good" against the world's nasty dictators and suchlike. How much "good" can I do anyhow if I need to hold down a regular job?
Probably best if I get two costumes, and I'll have to be very careful not to get them mixed up.
