Ultron

Effective serial immortality and a Reed Richards level intellect? Sign me up

Plus all my bodies would also be factories so that's neat

For some plans I have, a WIP supervillain I'm working on would be amazing. The main hero and his rival villain basically are normal people who have another person from another dimension fused in their bodies that allow them to transform into their superhero/villain forms. The best part about it is how when the transformation occurs, it's basically instant and so long as nobody sees it in person, nobody can figure out you're the transformed person. I have so far planned out that people seeing the transformation through the very rare security camera footage on universe would wonder why you suddenly disappeared and in your place is the transformed, so no need to hide from security cameras (even though you probably should just in case).

Would absolutely love to become the villain because he becomes an anthro goat with very long horns that can bend and move them (limited by horn length) to his will, that are pretty sharp. Only downside is how his horns can get caught in walls and other surfaces.

Would be able to do things I could never imagine without ever having to worry about people recognizing me.

Telekinesis is probably the most versatile, over-powered power one can have (though it's usually depicted poorly, just like super speed).

There are, however, some villains that have a decent show of telekinetic ability, like Darth Vader. But I'd prefer the telekinetic strength and precision of the Phoenix entity from The X-Men.

I realise it's somewhat of a curse, but Vandal Savage's immortality.

Ideally, some form of time manipulation though. More than simple time travel. Being able to speed up, slow down, have irl scum saving, age/youth-en people/things... And simple time travel too though.

I'd keep it simple and steal blink from the Dishonored games (basically a line of sight teleport) Its just so useful and good in the games I want it.

Skitter from Worm. I would love to be able to keep ants out of my kitchen non-violently.

Magneto. Bulletproof, can fly, can generate an EMP. In theory could manipulate the iron in your blood.

Who ever can control time. I'd argue that's objectively the most powerful superpower perhaps only rivaled by invincibility.

i would take the powers of a Q (Star Trek)
only need to learn how to flick with my fingers

All I want is the DnD cantrip Prestidigitation. I don't aim high.

enrico pucci from stone ocean.

ridic powers to walkback things. and he does not get flak from it. it is essentially fictional retcon.

Probably Metron, from the New Gods in DC Comics. Just, being able to know everything and anything with a thirst of knowledge. I'd be able to solve all of the unsolved mysteries in seconds, I'd be able to foresee so much ahead to determine what the right choices to make are. I'd be a supreme advisor and uncontested in the wars of strategy. Plus I'd get all the abilities of a god too on top of it so add that.

Any book?

I choose to be God from the Holy Bible.

Marvel's Legion, aka David Haller, son of Professor Charles Xavier. Omega-level mutant. Psychic powers that go beyond time and space, astral projection, teleportation, reality warping, mind controlling, pyrokinesis, et cetera. If you could keep your head in check (did I mention it also comes with disassociative identity disorder?), taking down Thanos with a completed Infinity Gauntlet would be a mere trifle.

There are several powers that are just restated omnipotence.

Perhaps my favorite is Featherine Aurora from When they Cry. She is the author of the story you are reading. The world exists to please her (and her audience). She cares little about the pains any individual feels as they all serve her greater purpose.

It's 'Just Omnipotence' but it's written in a way for very meta interactions. But yeah, her power to create and change the world is ultimate, she literally can do anything.

The Refugee's power as offered to Sally Faye Vierra at the end of Warbound (Grimnoir Chronicles, Book 3, by Larry Correia).

EDIT: If that's too OP, then Sally Faye Vierra's own true power is pretty solid.

Any character that can teleport (with their clothes intact) and take along the person they’re holding, without the risk of ending up inside something or someone. Traffic, borders, travel time, and sometimes access to restricted places are basically not a problem anymore.

I choose Goldfinger: charme, style and wealth :)

Time travel is the most useful by far.

As a concept All for One would be super broken (the ability to take the powers from others is too broken) it was super poorly used in MHA but in a world where everybody has super powers it's a great power to have.

Most generally useful single ability? Probably the Flash's speedforce. Being able to get whatever you want done in a fraction of the time has broad utility. Plus you're well equipped for any supervillain attacks.

Does The Bible count? Total omnipotence seems cool. If not, then Voldemort from HPMOR. A great intelligence and magical power.
