What would it be like if we all got super powers? Would it fix all your problems?

Depends on the powers, to be honest.

if i was omnipotent or just any meaningful superpower at all i would want to spread peace and joy or just everything that is good and true forever. every night before bed i pray to just whoever is listening at my window so i can get the power required to spread peace and joy. first off i would want to be immortal and invincible, so i can spread love and joy and whatever forever. thats the main one. after that, i would want things that let me do the joy and peace part. i would need some sort of actual power to stop people / groups / countries from doing bad things, so controlling people's bodies comes to mind. after that, smaller powers that would make memories with people. something like flight so i hold someone and take them around or above the clouds. that kinda stuff. another like that would be healing injuries. of course my inherent human bias clouds my ability to spread everything good so another power i would want is a way to definitively tell right from wrong. or just being omniscient. if i was omniscient and and omnipotent i would easily be able to spread love. but, i feel like i have to earn these things. im not going to magically become immortal overnight. i have to study biology and research into preventing aging. i can't just fly. i have to work for these things to make myself worthy in the eyes of who could ever bestow these things upon me. and if they won't ill try my hardest to do these things myself. sorry for the blog post.

so yeah, immortality and invincibility are the two ones i can boil it down to

They would just be powers if everyone had them.
If everyone had Superman's power he'd just be another dude.

Again, it really depends.
If we all got the power of levitation, it would mostly put people out of business if they manufacture things like wheelchairs, shoes, cars or planes.

You say that as if we don't already have wars in the sky.

I still have to experience myslef using them so I'm not using them to be a nigger; I take my enhanced survivability and use it to climb every mountain on the planet and walk across the floor of every ocean to see as much of Gods creation as I can for aslong as he'll let me explore it

No. :( Unless that super power is reality shifting, but that is not usually called a super power.
If I was the only one to have super powers, it would be nice though. But if we ALL have, then it's the same as if nobody had.

Unfortunately, no.
The problem is that even if "balanced" everyone will have various superpowers, then their use, even if it is extremely reasonable, will be tried to be rigged by the authorities, they will impose a bunch of restrictions and obligations, reducing opportunities and freedom to a very narrow framework. This is a problem of scaling resources and the very organization of human society, its artificial environment, allowing those who control more to dictate their will to others.
From this side, even magical fantasy worlds look better, since their structure was already formed with such opportunities and a variety of intelligent races and cultures, and not like ours. And although superpowers could solve many problems (healing, high-efficiency energy sources, changing appearance to the desired one, transferring objects by teleportation, etc.), without freedom of use or forced use regardless of the owner's desire - everything breaks.

Something similar to It's a Good Life but more focused on manifesting instead of erasure

They would be quickly spotted and shot down.
It wouldn't actually change all that much.
