Dimensional Phasing
Basically being able to half-exist within all dimensions. Phasing in space, my atoms pass in between other atoms and the loose field holding me together is light enough to fly. It basically gives me noclip. Phasing in time, pretty straight forward, the dimension of time having the qualities it does means that I can phase in any direction, forward, backward or in the middle, which means I can stop time for myself.

Becoming ethereal on command. Phasing through objects, and never have to worry about getting hit, unless I'm surprise attacked.

I've never been able to decide between Shapeshifting kind of deal or Telekinesis.

With shapeshifting, even if you have to adhere to conservation of mass, you still have alot of options. Feel like you have too much fat? turn that fat into muscle! If you figure out how, why not give your body the ability to photosynthesize? Need a disguise? A dime a dozen! Old feeble body? Fix those rusty joints! Just got your leg blown to bits during a fight with a supervilian? ('cause lets face it, you're using these powers to fight supervilians) Don't worry, just grow it back! You must be this tall to ride this ride? You ARE this tall to ride this ride! This role requires someone who looks older/younger/prettier/grittier/etc? Oh you know some guy, he'll be here in a couple of minutes!

If you aren't stuck looking human, you could get real crazy. Four arms for extra points of manipulation. Grow a tentacle with an optic nerve in it to see around corners and in places you would never be able to see. Leaf the Dream and spend a day as a tree, because you know you always wanted to be a tree!


The telekinesis however has so much versatility.

Near infinite points of manipulation allow for incredibly fine actions. You could open locks without tools so long as you know how the lock works. You could actually get the dregs of the peanut butter out of the jar. You could reach anything, no matter how inaccessible it is, so long as you can see it (or even if all you need to know is where it is, or that it exists). Press every button on a keyboard without missing if you practice enough. In fights this gives allows you to use anything that's hard, heavy, and/or sharp as a weapon, no matter how unwieldy or numerous. Hell, you don't even need to use a weapon, why not just crush their organs?

It can also mimic just about any other ability. Flight? Levitate yourself. Fireballs? Throw flaming oil at them. Mind Control? Can't do that, but how about the next best thing: Body Control! Your not even cheating when you try to do the various bending abilities, and you get to do all of them!


To sum it up: Practical immortality, with none of the drawbacks (aside from emotional, but if things start looking bleak, just stop regenerating) versus Basically every power that affects the physical world rolled into one convenient package.

In the end, I still can't decide.


EDIT: added thoughts and fixed derps.
As a shapeshifter you could create your own clothing (such as cotton, wool, or leather) just by growing the bits into an already woven/tanned outfit (a bit Skuicky [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Squick] but what are you gonna do?)

Also, so long as there is some kind of organic conduit for a power (like if psionic powers come from a structure in the brain) you could grow those organs with shapeshifting, so maybe shapeshifting is the most powerful. And who's to say you can't asexually reproduce by making a perfect clone of yourself and splitting it off?

I could just cheat and say, for example, Magic as a superpower or somesuch, but I'll go with teleportation. Good method or transportation, good for surprising people and devilishly effective as an attack option if you feel like it.

And please don't bring physics and earth's rotational speed and whatnot into this. I know all that, I'm just using comicbook teleportation, not Mongoose Traveller teleportation.

Super-strong Elbows and Knees. Like super duper strong elbows and knees. Elbows and knees that could crush diamonds.

I would love to have the ability to pause/ resume time (obviosuly I'm not affected in the pause phase).
Half-ninja'd mine. I'd take it a step further and have full mastery of time. :p

Wow, Telekinesis has been very over-used...means my 2nd choice is out.

So I'll just go with the ability to alter all aspects of reality as I see fit. :3

Clairvoyance, seeing the future and being able to prevent issues and help the world and after im don't doing that I can win the lottery a few times and be uber rich >:D
:p You'd be better off just cheating the lottery, the problem with the whole "using future sight to solve problems" is you'll never know if you're ever actually doing anything. Could be that all the steps you take to prevent the future problem are actually all the steps that ultimately create the future problem.
Touche, I did not think of that :p maybe id just go for the whole superman deal.

I'm nearly 25 and I haven't grown out of thinking that the flight/strength/speed/energy thing of Dragonball Z is awesome. I'd go with that.

Density manipulation - able to scale between intangibility and hardening to the point of invulnerability.

Shapeshifting, with no limit on the realism of the transformation. For example, if I became something that I didn't know the anatomy of and made a mistake that causes the body to not function properly, I wouldn't die because my transformation doesn't follow the rules of reality. Also, I can become unrealistic creatures/beings such as a dragon or angel regardless of physical laws, because my power exists beyond the physical.

That or the ability to stop time.

Transfiguration. As in, the ability to turn one thing into another. No money? That rock is now gold. Drowning? The water in my lungs is now breathable air. Hungry? That tree is now bananas. Try to fight me? Your bones are now sponge cake.

Super speed is still my most desired super power, as I can be very versatile and use it in many different ways.

I was also interest in being able to use electrokinesis and being able to connect/communicate/command machinery, have psionic powers, or control the elements like the Avatar.

It's hard to choose for me, since I have so many favourites but it's a toss up between Terrakinesis, which is the power to control the earth and any material related to the earth, it's far more powerful than people give it credit for.

Or the abilty to make solid objects non solid and vice versa, as such I can stab someone in the heart without damaging their chest, walk on water and air, phase through walls, the power is just awesome.

The ability to shift to parallel realities at will. 'Cos fuck this place, there's adventures to be had! I can take a ride in the TARDIS, get a new pet cyndaquil, listen to the Sex Pistols with Spike, and be back in time for dinner. What could be better than that?
