I want the Flash's loadout of powers. Hyper speed (catch bullets out of the air? sure! run at just under the speed of light without dying? sure!), speed manipulation (lend your personal super-speed pool to others, steal the kinetic energy from other people or objects), altered personal time rate ("Speaking as someone who has over three hundred normal sleep cycles a day..."), rapid regeneration (anything shy of cutting a limb off generally heals), intangibility (though technically since Wally leaves a wake of speed energy, anything he runs through gets hyper-fried, kinda like a microwave).

Teleportation with some telekenetic ability, to be a great thief.

or the ability to make wishes and have them come true, then I could have whatever powers I want whenever.

I don't see why anyone would want to be immortal, I mean, shit, there's some things you just don't want to live through. Besides, life is boring enough as it is, would you really wanna live for eternity?

Invincibility would be a far better choice, at least in my opinion.

Well, if you have immortality AND time travel just imagine all you could see.

The ability to percieve my time asleep at the same speed as my time awake.

Effectively double your percepted time AND lucid dream at the same time! Schweet. Would suck with nightmares though

Hmmm... Tough to chose. My top 3 would probably be:

Shape shifting
Phasing (able to turn intangible; like Shadowcat)
Teleportation

Others would be nice but I'd be happy with any oen of those three.

Telepathy.

Body getting old? Take someone elses. Test? Take the knowledge from the teacher's mind. Hundreds of other uses.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. - Ursula K. LeGuin ~ The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

Mind control sounds pretty useful, especially if it includes normally non-concious brain functions.

[ 11-17-2003: Message edited by: Shazorx / Modrakien ]

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Any of the following:
>> Total shapeshifting with zero maintenance (concentrate to change form) [Mistique].
>> Telekinesis [Jean Grey]
>> Telepathy [Professor X]
>> Manipulation of chance, i.e. the ability to change any possibility into certainty.

Super hearing, one that allows me to hear what's being said around me (as I was born with a hearing loss) and that allows me to instantly hear and speak in any language.

How cool is that?

Telepathic and Telekinetic powers, Akira style.

(Well.. Tetsuo to be specific, since you never see Akira do anything but blow the entire city up. And without the bodily mutation and unstableness, of course. I dont want to die within like 48 hours of developing the abilities.)

Interesting point...There's a comic called "Resurrection Man" who basically dies to reload a new set of powers, and then returns to life. In the end, Vandal Savage (a true immortal), can't kill him for good, so he kills him "forever" by setting a device to keep killing RM over and over and over forever.

There's no time for us,
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever?

There's no chance for us,
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die.

But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever,
And we can love forever,
Forever is our today.

Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today...
Who wants forever anyway?

I bug you with this because all that immortality talk got it stuck in my head.

Superior physical form. Strength, speed and agility, regeneration, no dying of old age but not completely invincible.

Any power would be worthless without some way to stay alive forever IMO.

Argh, too many to count...If I had to pick three, I'd pick telekinesis(flight can be included, just lift yourself), telepathy(can manipulate people's perceptions of you to shapeshift in a way), and hyper-regeneration.
