Looking at this topic in general way, would you rather be incredibly strong or super fast? This involves the more physical things.

I think I'd rather be stronger than faster because strength is more of a useful life tool. Sure, you may be able to run everywhere but why not take a cab?

100% Speed. Imagine speed on the scale of lightening, or those superheros who travel continents in seconds. Would be a blessing and save airfares :]

Just imagine to run super fast at someone, wit a bowling ball (20 pounds) Then imagine gitting them with the ball at 300MPH or so...
Would super strenght achieve that..? I don't think so.

I agree, momentum can totally overpower strength, I guess.

The strenght of a collision is defined by its momentum, so a hit thrown at high speed is most likely to be as hurtful if not most as a hit from someone who's just awfully strong. Then again, muscle power can help increase the speed of a movement so really, I guess it's all about what you prefer.

I'd prefer being fast, because I think it'd be pragmatically better. I mean, you could travel everywhere you like in almost no time at all, think about it. Besides, in a fight, the speedy would most likely have an advantage because he'd be able to dodge whereas the strong would only be good to stand the hits; no matter how you look at it, I think speed would triumph in the end.

Speed is more useful than strength. Sure you could do a million things, but could you do those million things in half a second? I think not. Anyways, I've learned enough from RPGs that speed is very important to survival.

Speed, strength is only useful in the short term run.

Everyone appears to have chosen speed except for a select few, and I think I'll pick speed too.

Maybe we could introduce some new choices. Invisibility or flight? Control over fire or water?

Speed. With speed you can overcome strength with momentum as mentioned above. Also you can flee a dangerous situation easier.

Speed requires control, no control then no speed

Strengh is power, power requires responsibility, no responsibility then no power.

Honestly I'd pass up the offer because life is good enough right now.

Strength requires control too (crushing a puppy by accident)

I would choose speed because it would be epic to run on water (like this gecko).

Strength.

Because, after all, speed comes from strength.
