The title is self-explanatory.

If you had to choose one super power (either a natural ability or genetically enhanced, NOT induced by a device or a weapon) what would that be?
To me, I have an appreciation for practical abilities, the ones that rely more on strategy and skill instead of being just "cool" or "flashy" but ultimately less practical (like 80% of Alex Mercer's overpowered arsenal in the game "Prototype").
If I had to pick a personal favourite, it would ultimately be Yugo's double-portal summoning technique from the "Wakfu" series.
Imagine the Portal gun from "Portal" but as a natural ability and with a practical use during combat other than brilliant puzzle-solving... that's basically it. And it's AWESOME!

Later on he learns other cool stuff... but for obvious reasons, this one gets the Cake... ha ha ha ha, get it? The Cake... because it's like "Portal... oh forget it.

Just leave your comment below.

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

Pyrokenisis sounds good.
But, personally, i'm a fan of shapeshifting, flight or immortality.

EDIT: I take it back, density control sounds EPIC.
Or even the power to control enzymes at will...

I don't think Immortality counts as an actual power... unless it has self-regenerating abilities added into the mix. Imagine living forever as a crippled quadriplegic... 0.o

True, but it kinda depends on what a power is. If we're talking about the ability to control something then it's not. Unless, like you said it's regenerative - then you could lve forever and look gorgeous at the same time! :D

It's not disqualified because of that - genetically altered powers are allowed -, it's disqualified because he has hundreds of super powers! Just pick one...

Flight. I wouldn't fight crime or become a nefarious villain. I'd just fly places and take pretty pictures :3

But I guess telekinesis would give me the ability to fly, technically speaking...so telekinesis.

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 ;)

Fourth-wall breaking. The one thing that the Joker, Deadpool, and Squirrel Girl all have in common. Well, that and being crazy awesome.

I've always loved the power of shapeshifting, specifically the ability to shapeshift into animals.
