No you wouldn't. You would kill all of your enemies, take whatever you wanted, and eventually enslave the Earth. You're no different from the rest of us.

Yeah why not. I'd make them the best three years of my life with all those powers. I'd try to get as many girls as I can. Or I would become a villain and take over the world since no one would be able to stop me.
Reminds me of a joke...
Superman is flying around Metropolis and he looks down to see Wonder Woman, completely naked with her legs spread wide open, sunbathing on a rooftop. Not one to miss an oppertunity, Superman figures he can use his super speed to fly down, get a super quickie and fly away without her even noticing. He does, and flies away.
Down below, Wonder Woman looks up and says 'Why did you stop?'
And her lover The Invisible Man replies, 'I dunno, I just felt a weird vibrating feeling for an instant and now my ass hurts like hell.'
Well, now that SpellJammer knows the answer, yes, give up dem' powers. And he wouldn't do something so trival as "save the world". There will always be crime and threats. No, SpellJammer would use his power to create a "super" goverment. One that would tottaly reduce the crime-rate by threefold forever! Rather then waste those 3 years tackeling individual case scenarios which he wouldn't even be aware of untill it was too late half of the time anyway.. Seriously, what function would Superman have in an un-super world? There'd be no alternative but to make the world how SpellJammer wanted it..
And yes, he's aware this sounds tremendously like what Supes ends up becoming in other world stories where he joines a neo-fascist goverment and Batman has to kick his ass..
