Skip the first minute and a half of the video, kinda boring up until 1:50 but otherwise I want HER powers:

The power to control electricity and magnetic forces? Very relevant and powerful in the modern era, and any coins or small metal objects (such as ball bearings) double as powerful projectiles.

Probably flight, and fast flight at that.
Maybe invisibility to perfect it.

Mach 2 and invisibility would make my day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day......

The powers I would like to have would be teleportation, invisibility, or electrokinesis (I may have made up this term, but it's the ability to manipulate/produce electricity).

They all have some practical use and could be used for fun as well.

Edit: I would probably lean towards electrokinesis if I could only have one.

Telekinesis, of the usual variety but I'd use it just like Nero in DMC4, so I'd have my own personal, physical ghost.

I'll do as I usually do:

Absolute Telekinesis i.e. control of material from the subatomic level to (theoretical) infinite mass manipulation.

Covers everything:
'Stereotypical' telekinesis - well d'uh
Flight - obviously, you're just moving yourself now
Healing - biochemical manipulation
Shapeshifting - as Healing
Telepathy - manipulation of synapse firing in either yourself or any number of targets
Electricity - electron flows (see subatomic)
Invisibility - manipulation of air densities to refract light around you

And so on and so forth

Argument = over!

I just thought, using density control you could create a shield of impossibly dense air and collapse the universe around you before causing it to expand again, allowing you to effectively wipe the universe at will and create a new one.
Yeah...This is why density control is the most OP, you name it, with enough practice and thought you could do essentially anything. Besides the whole aging thing you're essentially God for your lifetime, unless you enslave humanity and force them to find a way to make you immortal of course...
Not that I've carefully thought this through or anything ;)
You know... I think Pain from "Naruto" could do something like that... that density thingy I mean.

You know who could do all that? Psycho Mantis! And he could only be defeated by CHEATING!

Too many people with electric powers nowadays... aside from that, What's the name of this anime again? Do want!

The power of AWESOME.

What is AWESOME, you say? Well, people with the power of AWESOME are friggin' AWESOME! No description needed

Who is it that has the power of AWESOME! you must be asking? Here are some examples:

Batman
Wolverine
Deadpool
Dante (Devil May Cry)
Rorschach (debated; some say he had the power of MORAL AMBIGUITY!, a much less awesome power)
Bender
Cartman
Chuck Norris

As you can see, the record speaks for itself. AWESOME IS AN AWESOME POWER! IT IS AWESOME!

Density control is an unparalleled super power and conquers everything hands down.
Controlling how much something weighs and its mass means you can fly given enough practice, make shields out of the air itself, make objects weigh essentially nothing and swat them away like flys, make matter so dense it collapses into itself creating black holes at will wherever you want. I don't care what your power is, someone who can make your brain collapse into itself is going to win.
I'm not sure if there's atually anyone with this power. super-hero wise, but if there is he/she must be massively OP.

EDIT: While a quick google search finds that there are people with this power I would mean control over EVERYTHING not just your own body
Really, though, this. No, really, I've done forum games with this as a power. It was AWESOME!

To Aru Kagaku No Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun) I think, spinoff/sequel to To Aru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index).

Whatever the opposite of telepathy is. You know, the ability to put thoughts into people's minds. Yeah, you can annihilate the universe with density powers. Yes, you may be able to obliterate nations with telekinesis, but I will be able to sleep with whomever I want, get whatever I want and go wherever I want... something I see using more often than ending civilisation :)

I'm amazed nobody has said 'The Force' yet
I mean come on, whilst it's not as powerful as Density control, it can do other stuff - influence people, make you move super fast, and can anyone say force lightning?? :D

Unless, of course, it doesn't count as a superpower...

I always loved Cyclops' eye lazer beam from the X-Men. Having a deadly lazer blast that comes from your eyes, yes please.

The only problem was that he wasn't as popular as Logan, especially in the cartoon (Where I get most of my Comic Book knowledge) so his powers were nerfed to keep him behind wolverine. Also no one ever died in the cartoons, so the beam only ever pushed people back. That was the problem, he had bad plot armour.

The Force is more like the inner energy that allows you have SEVERAL powers... mind control, telekinesis and the ability to feel other people's life energy with accuracy. Just pick one.
