You'd better be able to choose the superpower.

Arm-off, Modok, the Lizard, ForgetMeNot, etc. There are superpowers that you'd rather not have to deal with.

I take it. If I die, I still succeed as my wife and daughter will get a huge insurance pay out from the VA and USAA, and they'll be unshackled from my sardonic, broken, pessimistic ass, thus probably leading to being ultimately happier. If I live, I can be so much more to them than I am now. It'd be a win win to me.

For guaranteed top tier powers (Superman or Dr Manhattan like)...maybe.
But I'm not risking my life for something like being able to fly.

No because that means a lot of people would have superpowers, diluting the intrinsic value of superpowers to a margin that possibly dying over it to acquire it isn't worth it.

Imagine risking it and you end up with this super power

Sign me up! I’d be the new starting offensive line for the Dallas Cowboys and get PAID! Who cares if you are fat, you millions upon millions and Super Bowl ring will get you more pussy than you know what to do with.

And on the side you could do open weight combat sports.

sure no more sports cars or roller coasters.... small price to pay for being exceptional in a world of billions of lamers.

I pressed nah, meant yes though.

Hopefully death is immediate and painless if that's the result. I'd prefer a superpower though. Is intangibility pr something similar a possibility??
Anything you consider a good power is possible. Anything you'd think is a shitty one isn't going to happen to you.

Let athletes have these who’s bold enough to take this pill? LeBron? Undertaker? I believe sports are ready for this kinda thing.
