I would like not give my answer here, as that can give people ideas. But, it is true, I would want to be a superhero. Despite the moral questions this creates (ref: see Nietzsche).
As for what kind, right now, Deadpool is my favorite. Mostly because he can’t die, he can super heal, and has super accuracy. And he talks to the fourth wall. He is crazy, though so is Legion.
I have superpowers no one would believe (yet), but none of them (at this time), allow me to actually do anything with them.

Sinless.
@Weenis
Can you articulate why?
@griz
Because of the sin nature that all mankind is born with, it corrupts our desires and decision making. Things that we want can actually bad for us, and we end up in a worse situation than before. Our sin is so damning, God had to send his sinless, perfect, and holy son to die on a cross to save those whom the father loves.
For these reasons, if I could be anything, I would choose to be sinless.
@Weenis
An interesting thought though.
Is our current condition, contrary to God’s will? Not the object of the sin, but our current condition as imperfect sinful beings?
We work towards purity and “sanctification”. But would wishing it to happen outside of the process God has ordained, be calling God in error for our current condition?
@griz
Nothing that happens is contrary to God’s will.
No.
@Weenis
I totally agree to your first statement.
But your second needs substantiation.
Better actualized in all ways possible for my current maturity level.
(And if that means in ways I cannot currently comprehend that would result in super powers; well that’s a burden I would just have to learn to bear!)
From “Shrek the musical”
I guess I’d be a hero
With sword and armor clashing
Looking semi dashing
A shield within my grip
Or else I’d be a viking
And live a life of daring
While smelling like a herring
Upon a viking ship
I’d sail away, I’d see the world
I’d reach the farthest reaches
I’d feel the wind, I’d taste the salt and sea
And maybe storm, some beaches
That’s who I’d be, that’s who I’d be
Or I could be a poet
And write a different story
One that tells of glory
And wipes away the lies
And to the skies I’d throw it
The stars would do the telling
The moon would help with spelling
And night would dot the ‘I’s
I’d write my verse, recite a joke
It’d fit in perfect timing
I’d share my heart, confess the things I yearn
And do it all while rhyming
But we all learn, but we all learn
An ogre always hides
An ogre’s fate is known
And ogre always stays
In the dark and all alone
So yes, I’d be a hero
And if my wish were granted
Life would be enchanted
Or so the stories say
Of course I’d be a hero
And I would scale a tower
And save a hung-house flower
And carry her away
But standing guard there’d be a beast
I’d somehow overwhelm it
I’d get the girl, I’d take my breath
And I’d remove my helmet
We’d stand and stare, we’d speak of love
We’d feel the stars ascending
We’d share a kiss, I’d find my destiny
I’d have a hero’s ending
A perfect happy ending
That’s how it would be
A big bright beautiful world
But not for me
An ogre always hides
An ogre’s fate is known
And ogre always stays
In the dark, you’re all alone, all alone
So yes, I’d be a hero and if my wish were granted
(And I know he’ll appear)
Life would be enchanted or so the stories say
(‘Cause there are rules and there are strictures)
Of course I’d be a hero and I would scale a tower
(I believe a storybooks I read)
And save a hot-house flower and carry her away
(By candlelight)
A perfect happy ending
That’s how it should be
