I don't take full credit for this one, as I was reading it online, but thought it was interesting. I'll try to anticipate and qualify some of the questions that may come:

Invisibility - You are simply not visible, but physically still there. I.e. yes you could still be shot or run over.

Flying - No there are no wings or flapping involved, you can simply fly.

Running - Without getting into exact speeds, just assume that yes you could run way faster than the flying ability could fly.

Water breathing - Would assume that yes you could survive the high pressures as well

Size - not sure of any questions here

Vision - able to zoom down to the atomic scale, or out to see as far as light exists

Senses - Let's just say you can control the extent your senses are magnified (nobody wants to smell the dogshit pile at 300 yds).

Supercomputer brain - All capabilities of your brain are a billion times faster, and you can recall any memory in an instant.

Time travel - the "out-of-body" part means you are not physically there, but can observe and move around as if you were. I.e. no, you couldn't change anything in the past.

edit: bah, damn italics code didnt work on the poll question...

I went supercomputer brain first, just because maybe I can figure out how to do some of the others heheh. Second choice was time travel. I figure how cool would it be to be able to watch old historic battles and such, or go forward and see how things will be.
