Everbody knows super powers. Green Lantern can materialize things, Spider-Man is a pest, Super Man is super and Dr. Manhattan is broken.
So RPM, what's your favorite super power from comics/cartoons/manga/anime?

Wolverine's combo: high-speed healing factor + Adamantium-reinforced skeleton. Gotta love being nigh-immortal and immune to most human defects and weaknesses. :P

My favorite superpower ever has always been and will always be Super Speed, ala The Flash.  Sure, flight is cool and all, but there's something about running close to the Speed of Light which I love.  Plus, my theory was also that if someone could move that fast, like say run around the globe in a second, how could you stop him?  His punches, due to SCIENCE, would contain so much mass that they'd be almost as strong as Superman's, when going at that speed.

This scene helps to illustrate that point.

Wouldn't that crush his own hand too?

LOL logic in  a superpowers thread.

It would, but the friction caused by super speed would burn you alive. Super powers don't follow normal physics.

High-Speed Aura protects against such things!   8D

The Green Lantern Ring I consider more of a Weapon than an actually Superpower, so in terms of Weapon-Based Superpowers, it would be my favorite.

Some other honorable mentions for Superpowers are Magnetism, Aquakinesis, and Invulnerability

I personally like elemental based super powers. Like being able to control/become fire/lightning/earth/whatever.

I was always a fan of super-strength and morphing abilities. Oh, the things you could do with either..

Morphing would be so much fun, I agree.

Ghost Rider's Pennance Stare is one of my personal favorites. It's more or less the ultimate good-guy power: Turn all of somebody's past evils against them.
I've also always liked the idea of various mental abilities such as telekinesis mind reading, or putting your own thoughts into other people's heads.

Also, the Thing is one of my favorite heroes. Not sure if his super strength and stamina stem from him being composed of rock(or whatever it is), or if it's an actual super power. Whatever the case, I'd like to be able to do what the Thing does.

...what?

Deadpools powers have always been awesome to me.. 8D

My favorite superpower ever has always been and will always be Super Speed, ala The Flash.

Nightmare Inspector, Hiruko: Can go into people's nightmares to help them get over them and eats them afterwords.  He can't eat anything other than nightmares and the more bloody the nightmare the tasteier it is.

PhD Sang: Is able to use magic, talk too some mythical animals, and change her gender and strength of her magic depending on how many rings she takes off (she has like 5).  If she takes off 2-3 or more she loses her memory.

Current playthrough: Chrono Trigger and God Eater Ressurection

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

I perfer Super intellegence (Batman) over Super Strength (Hulk). Besides, who adores having the ability to build a mecha out of scraps in litterally 10 seconds by a man with no enigneering prowess?

@Tails: Time Travel, I wonder which hero who has that ability..?

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.
