Psychokinesis (4) - Basically this is just like using the Force, which is bad ass. Why is it not rated a 5 then? Because why would I ever get off my ass when I could just make something float to my hand. Sports? LOL, I would just make the ball/puck/whatever shoot right into the goal every time without even moving my feet. Psychokinesis is the recipe for laziness and obesity.
Invisibility (3) - Not bad as far as super powers go, but there seems to be some contention as to whether the person's clothing also goes invisible with them, here we'll assume that they do not. It may not be that big a deal to run around naked as long as you're invisible but this isn't a super power you can use without some amount of planning. It also has some substantial drawbacks.
- You have to have time to remove your clothing and stash it some place so that you can get back to it later.
- You still have to open/close doors and use standard modes of transportation to get places.
- Footprints where it is not clean and dry.
- Things like smoke and steam(women's shower room for example) would produce evidence of your presence.
- You still make noise (footsteps, sneezes, farts, etc).
Teleportation (5) - Top tier super power. It's generally assumed that A: You can teleport to any place you can see or that you've been before. And B: You can teleport stuff along with you, including other people. So, take the normal route to any place once and then teleport there and back as you wish. You can't be captured or forced to do anything because nothing can hold you. Seriously, I don't think there are any significant down sides to this power except for the possibility of accidentally teleporting inside another solid object.
X-Ray Vision (2) - Only a 2? Yes. Have you ever looked at an x-ray? They suck. You wouldn't even be able to peek under someone's clothes like Superman does. You'd really just see through clothes, and the skin, and get to check out their sexy bones - boring* **. Plus you're lighting people up with hazardous radiation you ass.

I wish I could teleport my kids to school and avoid traffic.
I need superpowers that could help me become a Genius of the Week! I'm always baffled... until I read the answer and then all is made clear.
well, have you seen those new airport x-ray scanners? I think that would take care of everything you would need from x-ray vision. Just have to get a job with TSA and work your way into that position, I guess.
