First, sorry for the delay. One, I thought about the questions that people asked and two, I haven't had time to write.
1. I had to really think about this one. While the hell sounds rather inviting I had to go with the heaven. If you saw the movie "Fight Club" you may remember Edward Norton's saying "After Fight Club, everything else in your life gets the volume turned down." I've recently discovered that abundant sex does the same. After 5 or six times in one weekend, I've found that nothing, absolutely nothing, even a languorous county workday, bothers me. I blame it on the oxytocin. . .
2. Of course, I would use it mercifully and justly. But I think that this answer has an inherent contradiction. That would be that I am of course a human being and as such, I am rather subjective and so I think that answer #1 is also answer #2 depending on point of view.
3. I don't know if my first thought counts as one power so I'm making a list of 3.
Immortality/invulnerability. See, I don't know if immortality implies freedom from illness, injury, and the effects of aging. The reason that I would like this is that while it might take 500 years to really affect changes, what is 500 years to an eternal being?
The power to speak to and control animals. Sort of an Aquaman type of thing, except I'd be able to communicate with all animals. I just think of how cool it would be to command a flock of pigeons to appear over President Shrub or even fly into a Wal*Mart, creating an enormous amount of chaos, mess, and just general mayhem. Plus I wouldn't mind running down a wash with a pack of coyotes, howling and rushing a campground in order to frighten the begeezus out of campers, park hosts, and anyone else. I also wouldn't mind carrying a rattlesnake or two in my backpack for those special occasions when someone is trying to mug me or I have to deal with a lawyer, politician, or police officer.
Invisibility. The sort of invisibility that would allow me to pass through solid matter. Mainly because I've always been a trickster of sorts and this would just make it all the more fun.
