Rules 1. No power that involve copying other peoples' powers - that has always been a lazy cop out 2. Super intelligence counts as a superpower 3. If you're taking super powers from a comic/manga/anime/video game they function how they would in that universe Personally I'd take Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear from Naruto. You get a load of powers in one - I could stitch up any wound, so that's healing factor. As long as I could find fresh hearts I could live in theory forever. 5 hearts gives me super speed and strength; I could also unleash them as monsters so I've got elemental manipulation too. I could also fight close and long range by detaching parts of my body. What about you guys? What power would you take and why?
So I guess I'll start this off. I'd probably have one that makes more forum activity I like to have a sort of "Shift" ability, where I could "move" into another person's body, but still attain my persona, similar to Driver: San Fransisco's main mechanic. I'd like it because if there was anything I didn't like, I could simply change it quite easily. I could also be really evil with it so.... that's fun.
For real, if I could have any I'd go with something like super-intelligence or being able to see the future or read minds or something like that. This is simply because in the world we live in, information is everything. Being say, super strong or something is cool and all, but how much is it really going to accomplish? Second to that would be healing abilities or the ability to conjure stuff out of nothing. You can do a lot of good with abilities such as those. In terms of sheer badassery I'd probably go with Telekinesis. The idea of being able to create a whirlwind of mayhem while not even lifting a finger just sounds so cool, like I'm just casually walking down the street, while cars are getting flung about, streetlights flattened, chunks of pavement getting torn up and smashing into buildings. This all just stuff off the top of my head, I haven't even thought of what different characters I could model my hypothetical superpower off. Maybe the black ka'kari from the night angel trilogy? Gets me invisibility, immunity to opposing magic (if there were other people with superpowers I guess), a small shapeshifting weapon, a companion that gives me moral guidance, immortality (though not invincibility) and reincarnation (though the latter comes at a very steep cost). Edit: Swanna that ability you described sounds exactly like one you get in Dishonored
Well, guess my name kinda gives it away, my superpower would have to be Alicorn Magic. Not only does it provide immortality from ageing but I can use different kinda spells. Levitation, transformation, creation, teleportation, barrier and blaster. Of course, I'm not trying to sound overpowered but even an Alicorn has its limits. A demon such as Tirek can osmose (drain, syphon, which ever you want call it) their magic at close range anyway.

I didn't realise you had that many in your ?power bot command. I mostly see repeated ones but few I don't think I've seen before.
Some of those aren't even superpowers, like the ability to have a nice boat- isn't that just being rich? Which is kinda like being Batman? Also the one about not feeling pain is a serious medical condition and is definitely not in any way good for you. Still, I wish I'd answered with the ability to rek =] Oml gaining powers through eating dumplings is perfect
The ability to scare things? The ability to run? The ability to float? The ability to make history? The ability to find things? The ability to solve problems? Half of those superpowers are stuff that any normal person could do...
