Which I couldn't if I were a character (see comment on previous page), but let's why don't I just pretend.
First of all, I'd ask my writer if he or she owned the rights to my life. If the writer did, I'd ask if he/she would kindly consider licensing me to other writers or, preferably, release me into the public domain after hir death (as Dave Sim has done with Cerebus. And BTW if post-1980s Sim were my writer I'd beg him to put me in a coma for the remainder of his life and pray for a saner writer to pick my story up).
If I were in a superhero comic I'd ask for a supporting character part because given my depression/generalized anxiety disorder, if I were a superhero I'd be a crappy grimdark nineties one, probably drawn with too many lines and minimally-functional feet, and who wants that? If I were a resident of Gotham, I'd ask if I could relocate so I'm less likely cross the Joker's path.
Being in an indie literary comic would be cool, unless Chris "Life Is 100% Despair and Humourlessness" Ware were writing me, in which case see above for post-1980s Sim.
What I'd really like is to be in a hippie underground-comix universe so I could hang out with the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. I'd be not only their buddy but also their personal information go-to guy, since they (especially Freddie) seem pretty clueless when scoring dope. I'd introduce them to erowid.org, the writings of Terrance McKenna and Daniel Pinchbeck, and such, so they'd be able to make better mind-expanding choices. While still having hilarious adventures, of course.
