Complete undetectability (cannot be seen/smelt/felt/heard/tasted, motion cannot be detected, cannot show up on thermal signature detectors, heartbeat sensors, or radar, cannot be detected by *insert detection-based concept I haven't heard of*) that I can switch on/off at will. Either that, or the ability to steal the other's powers (preferably at range).

If we assume that your body is physically able to travel at speeds without suffering compression

even immune to compression you'd still increase mass. But this could go on all day.

It's some serious hand-waving away problems though, ultimately super-speedsters actual powers would be:

"The type of guy superman would revere as a superhero, with the added ability to alter the rules of physics."

But to generate enough mass to become a singularity without being compressed into nothing would required you to be travelling far faster than the speed of light, in space your actual mass, to you at least, becomes irrelevant, because you do not suffer compression so do not feel the gravitational effects, you may however divert the course of various smaller, or possibly even fairly large astronomical bodies when you pass.

The mass does become more of an issues on a planet, and would have to become one of those things we just ignore.....Because.....Yeah...

Oh and my power breaks physics more than a real life copy/cut/paste function, or becoming a living stone at will and turning back, to perceive anywhere, presumably in the universe without being there or being made out of marshmallows.

Im claiming discrimination >.<

Teleportation...

but since it has to have limitations...

I guess the Houdini Splicers from Bioshock had a kinda limited teleportation thing going...eh...I'll take it...

Plant-controlling powers! I love plants. I'd use my powers to keep my garden healthy despite the southern heat and humidity. I'd have the bitchingest, prettiest peppers and corn and carrots ever. :D

But the plants don't taste any good.

The Ability to turn into anything i have seen...

Why?

Well I'm a geek, who in his time has seen MANY awesome things from TV shows, Movies, games, hell even Youtube Video's.

I can turn from Pikachu, into Bumblebee, then finish things off as Master Cheif...

And you will all cower in fear! Muahahahaha!!!!!

Magic. I'm talking natural and ritual stuff but with some visuals so folks can know whats going on. But with a catch, I have to "level up" my "skills so I can only start off with simple stuff and have to study and work my way up.

Just be careful you don't ending up loving plants so much that you think that humanity has to go in order to make way for them, right? Dangerous route, that. :p

Definitely double-jump. The most under-appreciated power.
Ahahahah this is the best!

I'f I had to pick a super power it would be auto-aim.

Discrimination?[spit] you speedsters deserve it [/spit]
What's wrong with the physics behind my Temperature control skill?
energy can be produced and destroyed easily and in infinite amounts, right?

(although it could be argued I'm altering,somehow, the vibrational rate of the sub-plank strings of string theory fame rather than creating and destroying energy :p)

It's a tie between these two:

1. An IQ beyond the highest possible constraints, able to process every little bit of information and convert it to a simple level, mostly for use in combat and such. Imagine being able to predict the path of every single bullet, punch, blade, or other weapon before the battle even starts.
Limits: Bad relationships.

2. Shape shifting. Self Explanatory.
Limits: Becomes harder and harder to shift back to original form.

I suppose the most practical superpower would probably be the ability to speak and understand any language in existence... but there's only so much you can do with that.

Power of preference would be the ability to make portals (much like that obscure thing they touched on in that game no one knows.) Aside from easy transportation, it also means put one over the other, drop a rock, and eventually you have perpetual energy because the rock is accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2.

In short: bullets just by dropping rocks. And that's not saying anything about what else it could do, destruction-wise...
