Duh, shapeshifting, even if it's only to wild animals.
Need to fly? Hawk.
Need to go fast? Cheetah.
Need to go fast through the air? 'nother Hawk.
Need to swim? Shark
Need power? Gorilla.
Need I say more?

Of course, I'd much like to keep partial brain functioning of a human.
Enough animal to know how the body works, enough human to think sentiently and know to change back.

So basically the concept behind the Animorphs series?

meh, probably not reading this, but i say psychic powers. Telepathy, mind controll, ect. I have a little influence over fire in reality. Like i can command fire to fliker, like little candle fires, and it does. I dont know why. And btw dont go calling me a fake. If you dont believe me, ohh well. If you do great.

reasons why some powers are horrible

1. flight: no land(air)marks for navigation. unless you're gonna fly around with a world wide GPS system handy you'll be lost for quite a while during flights

2. telepathy: even if you had a mind filter, a persons train of thought, spontaneously changes in rapid succession even for a single thought. So say you were thinking "I'm hungry" telepathically it looks like "I'm, dude I wonder whats for lunch, aww man I'm craving hotdogs, haha dogs that are hot wtf man, dongs, tits, hungry". and that enough to drive any man insane.

3. super strength: in terms of society not all that practical, be prepared for a crap load of law suits.

4. extreme intelligence: ignorance is bliss, realizing every truth may actually be quite sinister to your mental health and stability. what if you could instantly tell when some one hates you, or is cheating on you, or your family happened to be murderers. you'd never give anyone chances totally all your info. you'd be rich and successful, but you'd keep everyone away from you.

5. teleportation/instant transmission: this ones obvious, one false move in navigation can put a phone pole through your body.

6. X-ray vision: have you ever seen an x-ray? a womans body looks nothing like a womans body. it looks like white and black blotches.

7. super speed: your mind can't process the things around you quickly enough to see, then when you stop the rest of the organs in your body are still moving forward, meaning if you were running at 50mph and then stopped, your heart will ram into your rib cage at an approximate 50mph

8. elasticity: your body must still be relatively the same mass, so if your not fat, then this powers of no use to you

9. laser vision: you can't see what you're shooting

10. animal morphing: because your brain will also change its shape and therefore function for something other than humans, once you turn into say a bird, you'll never remember that you can turn back into a human.

11. my personal favorite invisibility: you're invisible only when light is is bent away from you, so in order to be completely invisible you also need to be blind, because your eyes need light to see. unless you want to be a pair of floating eye balls, which I would probably think is more noticeable, with people screaming "WHAT THE f***!?"

if I had a power it would be perfect balance control of my body, at the molecular level

pros
1.enhanced body organ functions, such as perfect heart contractions and perfect distribution of oxygen in body.

2.maximized brain capability (our brain only uses 20% of its possible receptors)

3.hardcore immune system/disease immunity

4. the ultimate bowel system (because only heros take awesome shits)

5. irritability and brain reaction and delivery of neurons to muscles

6. unbreakable bones

7. ridiculously good eyes with also vision of about 50% more of the spectrum then we normally would

7. connection of the senses (this actually exists) so I can pretty much hear colors, taste what I touch, smell what I see from binocular ranges etc... on will

8. direct control of adrenaline and bodily morphemes

9. ultimate homeostatic control, allowing me to survive extreme temperatures without perspiration, allowing me to store more water in my body

10. increases ATP output I don't need to eat a lot to keep up these functions, I can eat the same amount I do now and still run like normal, but enhanced

11. hormonal control

12. ideal felxability

13. maximum fertility and endurance.... lol

14. my trait will most likely be passed on genetically

cons

1. the only issue is if I had all my receptors activated there is a possibility that even though it is assumed to be just the humans maximum potential, it can prove to me mentally lethal, or if not lethal pain full. like mentioned for super intelligence above. like finding out the one true religion, might completely ruin my life, or anyone else's for that matter because that devotion will be the one things worth living for. then if I find out there's no such thing as a true religion, my life will be bent on material things but I will quickly lose faith in humanity as a whole. all those things are worth being ignorant about will disappear, which will pretty much screw over the perfect body.

whats the down side to mind controll, or being able to move things with your mind.

[/quote]WELL THEN. Taking this into account:

The ability to control the sensory perception of another person, whether one singular person, or an entire group completely.

OR

The ability to control energy.

To be able to stop time. just cos...

Temporal: Spacial control would be pretty badass.
Don't like maths class? Speed up time to skip it.
Don't like that there is a wall in your way? Walk through it.

And no one would be able to see you with time stopped... or do s*** about it

*cough*

You could also do even funnier stuff by freezing time then shutting the door in someone's face so they walk into it

I'd like powers to do with the moon, such as controlling the tide.
I really wouldn't mind that.
Make sure my enemies are at the beach, and do some tide twisting.
Other people = safe.
Them = BADASS DROWNIGN MOTION.

I wouldn't mind being able to hide in shadows, and teleport through shadows.
That, or do my epic OPness and hypnotise, Time travel, mind read and turning into any creature I want.

Also the power to Hax Time would be good. If you could keep your memories of the Future, you'd literally be the strongest person on the planet. Why?

- You could go forward in time, see the future, go back in time and change it to your will.
- You could go back in time and prevent certian things from happening.
