I'll start with 2, otherwise this thread will become a giant list.
1. Spiderman's powers, freaking awesome, no explanation needed here.
2. The power to make you shit your pants with my mind. This one would be a great way of getting out of undesirable situations. Boss yelling at ya? not when they shit their pants their not! Girlfriend nagging? Not while she's running to the bathroom ashamed and in tears! Getting mugged? Nope, that tough guy act got dropped along with the load in your assailants pants!

Mind control, I control the minds of all the world leaders and take over the planet. I don't think I need to say anymore.

Mass Reality Manipulation, it's godmodding at it's finest.
If I wanted to be fair, I'd probably have earth/rock manipulation which has always been a favorite of mine.

Superspeed. When done right, you can fly, be invisible and phase through things. Like peoples heads. Causing them to pass out (at least they do in the comics.)
Plus, if I was a costumed super (which I would be) I would be able to change without any the wiser.

In honour of Secret Invasion and the super skrulls, I'd take 4 people's powers:
Magneto, Multiple Man, Layla Miller (the girl who "knows stuff"), and The Flash. As effeminate a power as super speed is, Flash can use it to travel between dimensions which I"m sure could be useful.

Ability to manipulate gravity.
I don't just mean flying. I mean actually manipulating gravity. It impacts anything and everything.
I think a close second would be elemental control.

The ability to time travel. I always wanted to see if you could crash the universe with temporal paradoxes and force God to reboot the whole thing.
Also Burt wins.

Definatly, magneto's power over magnetism. Definatly a toolbox ability. Does pretty much whatever he wants. opens worm holes, flies through space, stops the earths rotation, builds stuff. Good times.

In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo! |

The main problem is that it would´nt protect you from superpowered retards.
You can´t beat mind controlling. Its got all the practical day to day goodness of mind reading, in that you can tell them what to think. Its a bit morally sketchy, but so is shooting fire from your eyes.
A big problem of a bunch of these superpowers is their practicality. Simple utilitarian stuff gets you kidnapped and enslaved by some larger power like the government. And most destroy stuff abilities can´t measure up to modern weaponry, and aren´t really good for much except stuff that would get assaulted by modern weaponry.
