I'd probably want to use his powers of clairvoyance and superhuman intelligence to decide on what to do next.

But with my average human intelligence, I'd materialize money so I can retire. Wait...Dr. Manhattan is immortal...yeah I'm really going to want to use the brain power thing to come up with something better.

I read a book as a kid where someone got a stone they could ask questions to and always get the right answer.

The trick was toask the stone what you SHOULD do to instead of a particular thing.

So yea I'd probably figure out the best way to get humanity to the point where things are pretty good. Possibly deal with corruption, set up a better governance/financial structure, etc. But they key is to figure out what to do after I get the powers, not before
