Magneto's power. It makes you a virtual god, but you can hide it as much as you feel the need to.

I'd like the power to absolute control all the processes of my body. This would grant me wolverine-style healing factor, immortality, do away with the need for sleep and do away with the need for Viagra. :)

I'd go with Hydro-kinesis or possibly a Guyver.

Comparing me to Petra? Why I'm... flattered. Really, I am.

Well, it was time for a change anyhow, I guess.

Doesn't wolverine's healing replace cells, organs, neurons, etc. so that he'll never die of old age? If so, I'll take that. If not, simple immortality will do fine.

If the question was to choose a hero to have the powers of rather than one single power, I'd take the powers of Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen. He was omnipotent for all intents and purposes.

I'd like power over Death. The ability to kill with just a thought. Simply think about any particular person/creature or group of people anywhere in the world (without even having to know their exact location) and have them drop dead.

The guy I mentioned in my post. He's from Watchmen, which is excellent, btw.
