They'd use it to get hot girls to sleep with them and get out of paying for bills in resteraunts and tricking the bank into seeing a check for a hundred dollars as a check for a hundred thousand.
It would be pretty much the same with any superpower. Most people would realize that regardless of how powerful they were (unless they had like Superman level powers), they wouldn't be able to beat an army. They'd use their powers to drastically improve their day to day life, but I doubt very much anyone would become a superhero or villain.
Unless we got LOTS of people with superpowers. Then crazy things might start to happen.
Yeah, that sounds about right...
You have a few, and it never reaches the public, that's exactly how it would play out...
But the second you have enough of them, and it gets out that they are different and potentially dangerous, then something like "Kingdom Come" starts to play out, and could signal the end...
And btw, Jedi Mind Trick would be an awesome power...
