The ability to control all forms of energy.

You want overpowered, just think of how powerful that ability is ;). You'd essentially be Dr. Manhattan without 24/7 blue balls.

sometimes I try to reach out with the force and grab a beer from the fridge while sitting in my recliner in the living room.

someday it'll actually work :p

The ability to fly would be great. Realistically however, all you really need is the ability to listen, observe small details, remember whats relevant and clarity of thought. :D

Definately +1 for being able to fly. Although something along the lines of Wolverine's powers would be cool, super strength and regeneration.

I would like to have the ability to absorb powers and have absolutely no intelligence or common sense to use it... kinda like Peter Petrelli.

I would easily take Dr. Manhattan's powerset. Please and thank you.

I don't want to lose my attachment to my own humanity. So I'll take a pass on those.

Sign me up to be World War Hulk, The Green Scar brings it.

EDIT: Come to think of it, he has a similar issue to the Doc, now I'm conflicted.

Magneto so I can clear all of the traffic in front of me on the expressway.

Invisible guy so I can be invisible.

That's why ya go with the powers I suggested. It'd probably be considered a (large) subset of Dr. Manhattan's power, but also some of the powers that others have mentioned here (such as Magnetism) would be considered a subset of it. Dr. Manhattan's loss of attachment comes from the fact that he has no basis in reality... not in his mind or really in a physical sense. Since the ability to control energy doesn't grant the sort of omniscience that Dr. Manhattan has, you shouldn't have an issue with it.

You can also fly and turn invisible with it if you realize that you can control the air molecules around you (molecular bonds = energy) and all you need to do to become invisible is control the light (energy) that normally bounces off you :p.

I guess I should try and wish for two powers... the ability to understand the power I suggested as well :laugh:. Either that or you'd need immortality to have the life span to understand how to use them as you don't have Dr. Manhattan's ability to see at a molecular level either :p.

LOL!

The Hulk ends up so disgusted with humanity aka puny humans, and his own puny banner side, that he seems to have abandoned his own humanity, or at least refuses to acknowledge it anymore. I don't know if the revelation of who was behind the death of his wife and subjects in the ending of WWH changes his mind or not, I will have to read some of the newer stuff.

Still sticking with WWH powers, hell, he kicks Sentry's ass.
