Creative right? So get to it.


My top 3 are definitely shapeshifting, flight and invisibility. Shapeshifting is mainly for comedic purposes to be honest I don't feel like I'd really abuse it to get power knowing myself other than to fuck with people and get out of tight situations. Like being able to be George Bush whenever I want sounds pretty cool you know.

Invisibility is also just to fuck with people and get out of rough situations.

It's either flight or speed but I think flight is better because you can fly really fast and then there's a lot less obstacles and of course the thrill of flight so it's generally a win-win.

I'd probably pick Crazy Diamond's ability

Being able to restore or revert objects or organisms to any previous state in their history must be one of the most convenient abilities to ever have, I could make quick money, defend myself and help others and it's almost unpredictable in battle

Other than that, any kind of time manipulation ability would be a close second

Just remeber that the healing can't be applied to yourself.

For me one of the most OP skills would be to make portals, even as big as 10 cm is perfect. Excellent for vigilante work, spying or for crime. To do activities and not leaving the smallest evidence, making incidents thousands of kilometers away. An idea was to put a pill inside the victim, they'd die with no warning.

If i were to choose a more "conventional" ability it would be manipulation of cold and ice. I'd fix global warming…by starting the next ice age, simply because it's cool.

Gonna have to go with time manipulation. Need more time for something? Just pause. Find yourself in an awkward situation? Just rewind. Wanna have a perfect date? Just keep rewinding until it's perfect. Not to mention you could break pretty much any law completely consequence free if that's what floats your boat.

Shapeshifting of course, just turn parts of yourself into whatever you need at the time. It even comes with other freebie powers like water breathing or flight.

I think the best power would be a healing factor, mainly because it has so much utility. Resistance to accidents, no aches and pains, eternal youth, no annoying injuries staying with you for weeks, perfect complexion, no getting tired, more efficient processing of food because of increased metabolism. What’s not to like?

Another great power would be superhuman senses, especially super vision and enhanced reflexes. Being able to see very far, or see extremely minute details, being able to judge distances and trajectories perfectly at a glance; Hearing things miles away with amazing clarity. All these senses and the reflexes to act on them would be amazing.

If I had to choose a third one, it would probably be electrokinesis, along the lines of Cole from infamous, or Hei from darker than black. I’ve always found electricity and lightning to be very cool, and the powers have a lot of utility, both for combat, and more mundane purposes. Being a human taser is an obvious use for the powers, but electromagnetism is useful far beyond such things: It is one of the most powerful and primal forces in the universe, after all.

I have a few.

The first would be the ability to fly, but at the same time have some form of invulnerability. Smacking into… anything really while flying at high speeds can't be pleasant. Just the idea of being able to fly freely's been floating around in my head since I was a kid. If I was restricted to just one (technically two) basic power(s), I'd be happy just to have these.

The second would be Telekinesis. It always seemed like the "all in one" power. Want to control fire, electricity, water, air, objects, etc? All possible in one form or another with telekinesis.

Third would be the power cosmic. Space has always intrigued me, and having powers based around elements and forces within it just sounds way too interesting to pass up.

And lastly, if my Telekinesis were to get dialed up to 11, I'd want to skip all the pretenses and get the power to end all powers, and have the ability to warp reality. On the plus it allows you to do anything you can imagine, and essentially become a god, and on the downside you'll likely go mad with power in one way or another. Or be like some rich people and become incredibly bored with life now that you can do absolutely anything you want.

I would love the power of Technology Manipulation, being able to will machines and electronics to do my bidding would give me pretty much control over society today. Want some money? Walk up to an ATM and ask it to give you some hundreds. Want some credit? Just will the machine to never charge your card while making the transaction go through. Imagine just willing away annoying popup ads, or being able to get fast internet and access cable for free with a simple a polite request. :P Altering records around you so that anything you want can be yours and nobody would be the wiser that something's off. And it's not flashy enough that you draw super amounts of attention to yourself, letting you live a pretty normal life.

Another would be mastery of space, just being able to bend and warp it however I'd wish. I'd probably use it to go anywhere I want. All I'd need to do is focus on bending the space around me and I could move the whole universe to the point I want it to be. I could sit here typing this out, and with a thought, will myself to another country to enjoy a better view and scenery. I could move my whole house just by picking it up in space and plopping it down somewhere else. And I could trade spatial places with anyone I wanted to, making it pretty sweet to cut in line or get someone else lined up to take any sort of punch for me.

Final one would be a no brainier, healing touch. No more doctor, dentist, or insurance people to deal with. I just use my powers and boom, cured of whatever ails me. If I had to have any power, it'd be this one, just because of how damn useful it could be.

Two powers always came to mind

First is the power to alter and manipulate matter. Beyond essentially having a non-restrictive form of alchemy that doesn't require any pretense, you can essentially do anything so long as its within your cognitive abilities. You can walk on water, up walls, and even air. Turn yourself or anything around you into any state from light as air, to hard as diamonds and so much more.

Second, and probably just as if not even more op that the previous mentioned, is the power to control energy. By control energy, i don't simply mean just electricity but energy in all states including Thermodynamics.
You would be able to break most conventional laws of physics because you control both kinetic and potential energy. You could unleash inconceivable amounts of kinetic energy without requiring even the slightest potential energy. A simple tap could have the force of a sledgehammer, you would be able to move in ways that would break the laws of physics by changing your momentum instantaneously.
However perhaps the most powerful aspect of all is you control the very principles of entropy which, as simply put as can be, is the control of heat transfer in a system resulting in absolute control of heat. You could make anything reach absolute zero or as hot as a star by moving the heat of all energy to or away from an area.

Although if it were merely an 'elemental' power electricity would be my choice. Shits dope.

Telekinesis: Being able to exert force on anything from a distance is damn cool if you think about it. It has great utility for everyday life and… wow all the ways you can screw with other people. Imagine how people would react to suddenly being tapped on the shoulder with nobody in range.

Teleportation: Self and that of others. In utility similar to telekinesis but still slightly different. The power extends to only teleporting certain elements or types of molecules so you can say "I'll just take all the water from this wet shirt". That would also make it possible to instantly cleanse a body of harmful bacteria and virus. Not having to pay for gas ever again is also nice but money shouldn't be a concern anyways since you can get some more at any point.

Control over Technology: This one is a little special as the way I would go about it isn't just giving somebody the ablity to do whatever they want with technology. To me it would make sense if this power transformed its owner into a roboticized version of themselves or ideally replaces all their cells with nanomachines (son) which fill the role of the normal cells, effectively turning them into a different type of lifeform. In that form it would be easy to interface with any technology (remotely or through physical contact) but it would also enable you to change froms as you only consist of nanomachines. Another cool thing you would be able to do is place single nanomachines in/on other people so you can easily track them.

I also do like good ol' pyromancy (of course with fire immunity).

Shapeshifting Myself and Others: I could be the cutest girl on the planet and be paid millions to remove peoples body fat. And cancer.

Perfect Mimicry: If I can examine somebody else demonstrating an activity, I could copy it perfectly. With the exception of lacking the physical prowess to do so.

A Real Life CTL+Z ability. Honestly when I do something stupid, it haunts me for Decades and I would like to be able to undo embarrassing moments like that. Also with drawing traditionally. Having to erase my mistakes is the worst.
