Just remembered what happened when a friend of mien asked me what super power I would choose. In my defense he should have known better, but because this is a topic I have devoted considerable thought to I ended up giving him a verbal essay on why I would choose Psychokinesis as it gives me Pyrokinesis, Cryokinesis, Telekinesis, Teleportation, and Telepathy and Energy Blasts. Totally topped his choice of invisibility but I fear I may have exposed my nerd.
Ha! I can top that. I get asked which power I want and I have a long list of powers and different applications for both combat and every-day life with said powers, and different applications for different variations on the powers, and I'll go out of my way to show how some of the weakest sounding powers can be the most powerful and badass. Like, when you say shapeshifter, one usually thinks changing skin Mystique style (from the movies). Then there's Alyx Mercer. All he is is a shapeshifter. I'll go that far out there.
I also write comic books... This is kind of a field I specialize in...
Not to mention the stealth capacity for shapeshifting. You could infiltrate anything you wanted and if you're close to being spotted you could just morph into an innatimate object. Also a good technique for spies.
I usually choose powers that serve multiple purposes like shapeshifting. Telekinesis, for example, can be used offensively, for travel, to accomodate laziness. I love superpowers.
My favorite, bar none, is telepathy. The applications for complete control of the human brain goes much farther than most people seem to think. The brain controls everything the human body does, even little things like a heartbeat, breath. The human brain is like another world entirely, the world through the eyes of someone else, and you have complete control of that world. Offensive capabilities can range simply from pinging the nerves all over your body to actually make you think that your burning alive, to believe you're being picked apart, piece by piece, and having salt put on the wounds. You could tell the person's immune system to simply shut off for a few days and he'll die a cold and shivering death. Travel's as simple as getting someone to drive you.
Next to that is hydrokinesis (not sure if it has an actual name, I've been calling it that). Everyone's made of water, every living organism. Not only can you manipulate others, but you can manipulate your own body. Then there's something like freezing, dehydration, suddenly turn a trees insides to mist and the thing will either erupt or burst into flames from the heat. And there's something as simple as boiling the water!
I'll be at this all day if I continue, so I'll stop at one last one. I'd choose to have Superman's power. Why? You're immortal and indestructible except against a substance that doesn't exist.
