Some of each. No reason why I can’t get rich from robbing banks and also help people!

Honestly I want to be able to heal others and myself. Like physical bodies I mean. Not like I’d be able to add years onto someone’s life, just make them comfy and less in pain

If you had superpowers (any that come to mind are fine except being able to do anything) would you help people, help yourself, or not do anything with them/use them to relieve boredom

No omnipotent power, but any other super power (a super power with limits, etc.)

Why even bother making that confusing distinction, I don’t see how it changes your question

It’s more difficult to do good or to do evil when you have to do it by hand, like if you have super strength, you can’t hurt anyone or help anyone unless you go there physically. If you can do anything, you can just immediately make yourself money or make it so that there’s world peace

The “your super power can’t be omnipotence” thing is probably only there to make you choose a specific power and think more about why and how you’d use it. Honestly it’s a whatever thing to add, I see your point. But like I think OP makes sense

I thought it’s easier to do evil or good if you’re able to do literally anything you want with a thought. Where as other powers there’s more interaction and intent, which makes doing good or evil more difficult yk? Maybe not something that’ll change most people’s mind, but I put it there to try to negate the “I’ll make everyone’s lives better and turn my car into solid gold” comments
