Actually, I've been thinking about this one for some time (because I've collected and/or read comics all my life....well, up until the recent doom-and-gloom crap from the Big Two, you know?). I used to think I'd just be happy with one or two really good abilities (like in super-speed or mind control) but anymore these days...I think I'd need the *whole package*
And this is how it would work:
My public codename would be Sevenfold, mainly because I'd have the following *seven* powers.
--High-speed flight....not just the ability to fly, but if need be the ability to break the sound barrier just with this power alone. (think: the Marvel character Lightspeed, courtesy of _Power Pack_)
This power comes with its own weakness--it is always *on*. And while I have enough control over it to a) move at normal speed and b) stay on the ground, that control only applies while I am AWAKE. If I am knocked out, unconscious or asleep, I need to be tethered down, held down in place so I don't go floating off, gaining speed the longer I go floating off.
The remaining *six* powers below are available to me, but only ONE at a time. If ONE of the following six powers is turned ON at any given moment, that means the others are turned OFF. That is the second weakness, that I cannot use more than ONE of these powers at a time:
--Transcendent Strength...I figure I could likely adapt to being some, oh, 700 times stronger than normal without running *too* big a risk of bodily tearing myself to bits,
--Intelligently Impenetrable Force Field...meaning, it has its own *intelligence* so I *don't* have to micromanage it and remember to screen out threats but *not* like, air to breathe or anything like that. All I have to do is turn it on, leave it on and it keeps me from being hurt, without being a pain about things I *need* to touch or let in,
--Telepathy with Mind Control. Yes, some would argue that X-ray type vision would be better for spotting people in distress, but this isn't just about picking up "help" signals...this is also about being able to clean up the mess afterwards so that I *do NOT* get the bill in the mail for property damage from dealing with "bad guys", *lol* among other things....it just gives me more options, ok?
--Phosphoric Heat Vision. I figured it out, how to actually make it *work* in terms of biology....you have your tear glands mutate so that they can "spit" a tinctured saline solution of *white phosphorous*....
--Human Chameleon Grade Camoflague/Skin Shifting....you know, kind of like the Mystique thing (from Marvel Comics of course), it isn't just about blending into the background to hide, but also about being able to mimic the appearance of others, which would come in handy I'd imagine, if only because it would be easier to *show* people a reasonable copy of the face of someone I saw than say, to try to describe it...
--Metabolic Life Support. This would basically cover the kinds of things the Intelligently Impenetrable Force Field doesn't do so well: keep me from starving, suffocating, dying of cancer versus radiation, dying from contagious disease, that sort of thing. It would also make it easier for me to get healthier and stay in shape by virtue of making it harder for me to get tired, fatigued, exhausted, etc.
And again....none of this is perfect because aside from the flight, the other six powers, I can only use *one at a time*. ;) And the only reason I excluded flight above from the *one at a time* weakness is because even Ultra Boy from (DC's) Legion has a tough time functioning as a *hero* without a flight ring.
Would I use my powers for good or evil? Hmmm...I'd think mostly good, I would definitely have the *public* career as a hero going, but on a private level, I'd also likely be, well, a bit more selfish than your average comic book hero, not just because I'd need to be to protect my private life, but also because, well, my private life does need improving. And if I can use my powers to cheat to win in life--*without* breaking the letter of the law--why not? :)
The weakness is done. And yeah, I have no doubt I'd have enemies, but my biggest *arch* enemy is likely going to be that nosy *tabloid reporter* who insists on trying to prove my weakness and *reveal all* to the public...and of course the people who then use that knowledge to try to either blackmail me or get me publicly disgraced. Because that is a more morally grey way of "dealing with me" than killing me outright, which would just make someone want to step up and take my place. :)
Hope this helps, and sorry to go on so....thanks for your time!

I would have teleportation/time-space bending ability.
I would then be be able to undo our tragic episodes, such as Columbine, Twin Towers, Rwanda, Hitler, the worldwide anthrax assaults... a person could even take out terrorism at its roots.
The weakness to this ability is getting people in the position to do something about something to believe the "messenger"
This could be over-ridden by dealing in something small and showing the person the ability, then preparing them for the larger picture.
I would work for the benefit of mankind. The arch enemy would be the devil/chaos factor.

I would be like dr. doom. Basically I would be extremely powerfull, the most intelligent person on the planet, with all the armor, weaponry and inventions and indomitable will of dr. doom.
I would pretty much be the greatest sorcerer alive (as dr. doom is the second best in marvel but dr. strange wouldn't exist).
my weakness would be my ego.
I would use my powers for the benefit of humanity and for my own benefit just like dr. doom.
While he does have a personal vendetta against reed richards, he is a benevolent ruler who when he did rule the world, created a utopia with no poverty, no crime, no war, no famine, and the only catch was that he was the ruler. He also outsmarted the devil to free his mother's soul.
My personal vendetta would be to rid the world of scientologists and metrosexuals.

I've wanted the power to fly and to read people's minds. I would of course use these for good. My weakness would be something that could ground me or being to trustworthy of people. My arch enemy would be a person that could track things at quick speeds or could fly themselves.

My superpower would be to make everyone on earth compassionate. I would stop all war, pain, health problems, etc. I would always use my power for good. That is as the Creator wants.

I think if I had super powers, I would have the powers of the Green Lantern Ring while not wearing it. If you know of Green Latern, then you know of the weaknesses I would have, but they are easy fixes. I would be inbetween good and evil, because there is no real good, or real evil; just want people percieve good and evil to be.

I would be a ninja like in Naruto with jutsus and kunai and shurikens. My jutsu would be shadow possesion jutsu and i would teach myself my own type of gentle fist taijutsu style of fighting. My weakness is that im lazy when it comes to work. I also don't like killing people in real life, so if some dies, I would get really shocked at the sight of some dying......the pain, the horror, the suffering..... it would shock me at first.....but i would get used to it some day. My enemy would be Temari because she would be trying to hook up with my awesome brother (who is Shikamaru). I would also be enemies with Orochimaru because he sent the sound four over to get sasuke or what ever and one of them almost killed Chouji (who is Shikamaru's and my friend) and I would avenge Chouji for his near death stage that Orochimaru made him go throught.
:D How was that? :D
