That's called the internet. Having that power on the street would be useless because you couldn't do anything about it.
The power to access alternate universes, alternate timelines, other realities and so on.
I probably would be able to gather all knowledge like TorontRayne wanted but I would also be able to visit places we can only imagine or dream off including a timeline were Van Buren was finished and released as Fallout 3.
There would be plenty of 'empty' Earths were the inhabitants killed themselves long ago and left their remains up for grabs.
Eventually I must also come across a university where they invented longevity and perhaps even immortality.
I would be plucking the pearls of the universe's oysters.

Well for one i could look and sound like anyone i want to, I could make others see/hear/feel/smell anything i want them to, the possibilities are endless. is it me holding a piece of paper or a bank manager holding a 1000 dollar bill? Stuck at a red light? not anymore! in fact, not only is the light now green but im driving a police car with sirens blaring, everyone in front of me pulling over to let me by. A supermodel would turn me down, but would she turn down a navy seal with incredible good looks? I could go on forever

I'd like either superman's or dark phoenix's skill set.
You could rule the world with an iron fist either way.

Not a super power, but something like the basic implants in Deus Ex. Internet connection in my brain, plus a HUD.

Bleep bloop.
How is receiving all knowledge in the universe a superpower? It would be worse than death for me, I imagine.
Akratus said:
How so?
You would probably be able to 'beat' death, and imagine all the fun stuff you could do with it.
I could finally make the Fallout game I want to make and impress friends and enemies.

Well if the choice is very open I'd go for Gladstone Gander's luck. That way no matter what happens things will almost always go well for me. Never have to worry about getting hurt or getting a disease that won't automatically cure itself, the luck would help me in every area of life.
But if we're talking about specifically super strength and x-ray vision and stuff like that I suppose I would like to have Wolverines regenerative ability, that way I can stop being a hypochondriac.
Now if Animé powers are allowed I might just go with Naruto's power. I mean the ability to duplicate myself 3 times and whatever the clones learn I will learn when they go away is like a cheat to get knowledge and experience. That way I could have 3 of them read from three different things and after an hour or so I de-clone them and whatever they learned I will learn.
In the meantime I can just sit and play a game or something. I'd also be able to do quite a lot of kinky stuff with myself.
So, if I got a choice between whatever it'd be unfathomable luck. If I can choose from Animé powers I'd go with shadow clones, and if I have to choose a superhero power I'd go with regeneration.
You get 'all' knowledge in the entire universe, you will get knowledge from every single lifeform across reality, past and present. So with every good thing you'll just suddenly 'know' so will you with bad things.
I think that might be tormenting after a while. Every time you see something on tv your mind might flash to the knowledge you hold and you might remember how it feels like to have something done to you.
You'll know how it feels to starve to death. You'll know how it feels like to liquify. You'll know how it feels like to be tortured in a hundred thousand different ways.
Personally I think that'd be horrible. Besides, when you know 'everything' what is the incentive to figure anything out? What's the point in watching/reading/playing/listening (to) anything when you already know how it's going to end? Every person you see you will know their innermost darkest secrets of their entire life. A lot of the curiosity of life will wither away with that kind of power.
Unless of course you're talking about knowledge as in only books and stuff, like how to repair an aircraft carrier to how to do surgery. But "all" knowledge means everything, and that sounds awful.

Well, we're talking about all the knowledge in the world, that means that whatever nasty things has ever happened will be in your mind, you will know how it feels like to drown, you will know how it feels like to burn alive, you will know how a cannibal thinks, you will know how a necrophile get's his jollies.The Dutch Ghost said:

Well where do you go from there? The pursuit of knowledge is one of the main things I enjoy in life. I'd imagine it to be pretty boring without it.
Well after knowing all "Scientific" and "Creative" knowledge logically world conquest would follow.
Seeing as I am surrounded by backwards barbarians whose minds are hardly enlightened it would befall me to take on the humble role as overlord of humanity to bring you into true civilization and break those shackles that tie you to your primitive instincts and lower human qualities.
Of course half of you simply need to go, either through extermination or sending you to the planets and moons to start mining operations to support the great new society that I will start here back on Earth, and those people will most likely die from the effects of interstellar radiation or not being to survive in non Earth conditions but that is the price I will have to pay.
Others of you will be used as spare parts for my cyborg armies, in particular your brains and nervous systems which I will have scooped out, implant into my minions and have their original personalities scrubbed out and replaced with cyborg soldier programming, making you completely loyal to me.
The remains will be grinded into bio pulp which I can then use to feed the remaining masses if food supplies are not sufficient.
Those that are selected to be allowed to live will work towards the task of making me a true god, being able to manipulate matter and energy through a mere thought, and then recreating existence in my own image.
I understand that this all sounds harsh, but it will all work out in the end, trust me.

That's a really good one, to be honest, I'd transport myself permanently to one where Obsidian developed New Vegas on a superior engine (maybe unreal 4 or 4A Engine), free from Bethesda with all the time they wanted to make it.
It'd be the perfect Fallout game.
