The ability to warp myself to a time chamber that I can stay in as long as I want and warp back without time having passed. It's similar to just being able to pause a video game while you plan your next move.

That way I ALWAYS have an awesome comeback, insult, or counter-point whenever I could use one, even if it takes me a whole day to think of it in my time chamber.

Plus it gives time to decompress or think things over without having to waste time doing it. I could seem like a genius if I had enough time to react to everything immediately and with a plan or answer.

I don't think it counts as time manipulation if I'm just going to some room where time works differently and I don't get to interact with anything in the real world.

A possible drawback to this power could be a fear of death keeping someone trapped in their own chamber forever.

The ability to tell who likes oral sex just by yelling "Cupcake!" and watching them blush, for practical and amusement purposes lol

The ability to negate the need to sneeze. I hate sneezing.

The ability to stop my hair and nails from growing, as it would save time and money.

The ability to detect which normal looking/feeling avocados are already brown/grey and gross inside. Or any fruit really.

The ability to reliably command the loyalty of cats, without the use of cat treats ( aka. cat crack). I'd also like the ability to instantly learn any language just by hearing a few words spoken by a native.

Hmmm. Well I'm always a fan of powers that morph someone into a different form. Kind of like a Werewolf, but something I could control. However, Werewolves are boring. How about Headsprouter? I'd have incredible strength, resilience, the ability to resist and control energy such as electricity and look scary as hell! That is if we're going by the abilities of the more generic Zombies, if we went by Headsprouter's abilities, I'd have to explode the instant I'm shot.

Basically: Mess with me? FUCK YOU! I'm a monster!

The ability to absorb the energy from weather and use it. I.e. after being in rain, I can make it rain on demand. The same goes for things like lightning (even if it was sunny), snow, and clear clouds.

Empathy like powers; feeling what the other person is feeling. Maybe a bit of manipulation of said feelings...

Yes.

Probability manipulation a-la Longshot/Black Cat/Rio Rollins.
Someone moving to attack me? They just *happen* to sneeze right then.
Need $$$? Drop in to a casino.
People plotting to overthrow the world? I just happen to be in the next bathroom stall over,
and when I try to phone the authorities Steve Rogers or Clark Kent is standing right next to me and overhears....
I'd be the ultimate protagonist!

How about being able to rotate my limbs in impossible way like turning my head 360 degrees?
Ok sure I got more powers ides to think of but it will take me ages to determine if it's strange/ unusual or not.

The ability to make people see whatever I want them to see.

Great for pranks or self-defence. Imagine walking past somebody you generally dislike on the street, making them see a giant bird flying straight for their face, then watching them duck and cower in sudden terror, only to have nothing happen and everyone else thinks they're nuts. It's a very simple power, but beautifully evil and useful...

Aw, to hell with originality. I want powers of Domino from Marvel Universe. I want to be the luckiest guy in the world.

I got ninja'd in the OP. A buddy and I were talking a few months ago about how useful it would be to have the ability to make everyone in the surrounding area burst into song and dance. It was amusing to imagine people pouring into the streets, just as the chorus started.

I don't know if this would count as a power, but I would like the ability to fall asleep precisely when I want to. There have been too many times when I had to get up for work after laying in bed awake for several hours.

The ability to control blood.

Oh you're aiming at me? Try keeping that aim steady with absolutely no blood in that arm. Want to punch me? How about I make all the blood leave your legs, and you fall right the fuck down.

I may just decide to rip it out completely. Make it come out your eyes.

Do it to an entire army and form some sort of giant fist out of the masses of blood.

The possibilities are endless...ly messy.

The ability for me to be able to take credit for someone else's work, and for everyone to believe me. It has the double purpose of serving me, and also helping me just screw with people I don't like. Paid for your burger? Actually, I did, it's mine. Want to argue? Everyone else here agrees with me, thief!

It's the height of assholery.

Reincarnation as a human while retaining all the same memories would be a pretty great power.

Culinary Intuition would also be a good if somewhat mundane power. I'm crap at cooking and just being a natural master chef is a pretty good power.

The ability to make everyone on earth a enjoy metal as much as I, so I can actually talk about music with people without hearing "DUBSTEP 4 LFE!" every time. Little selfish but ah well I want it to happen.

The next is a little more... shall I say the different. I would want the ability to make a person or creature from a book, movie, anime, videogame, etc. become real with the all their traits and personalities still intact. Having a religious debate with Mocker from the Black Company sounds like a pretty boss day or punching every moronic anime character in the face for being so stupid or dense could be fun too. The best thing is it could be used as a fighting method as well. Situation time: I'm walking down a street, suddenly two thugs jump me and threaten to kill me, BOOM! summon Gearlt of Rivia and problem solved.

This last may be pushing the limitations slightly but I'll let others decide. The ability to make your will happen. You would be a god on earth, hell you could make a god. You could kill anyone in the world by just thinking it, learn something instantly by thinking it, the possibilities are endless. Mwhahahahaha!
