I'm pretty sure I'd go with Miles Teg's accelerated metabolism. Assuming we're stuck with one mutation.

Anyway, I changed my answer. I want to have the ability to time travel as well as teleport, like that guy from heroes.
Hiro?

Side note, that show was awesome the first couple of seasons. Of course they managed to screw it up after that :tisk:

Yeah, that was pretty cool, but the having to eat a bunch of carbs after or death kinda sucks.

:yesnod

Think about the possibilities! You could do anything, anywhere, anytime. And if you were gonna get pulled over by cops, just stop time and keep driving away. That is by far my favorite power.

Talk about over-powered abilities... Jesus.
does somebody read JoJo's bizarre adventure?

For me, super speed and super strength along with control of lightning.

lol

Everyone in the Naruto universe has powers, even the one guy who doesn't technically have powers.
Yeah, but I figure the Naruto universe's Bloodline Limits are the closest thing to mutant powers since you have to be born with them, not learn them.

For the sake of folks who don't know, the damned Sharingan can anticipate most attacks to the point where it borders on telepathy. It can control the mind of defenseless victims. It can copy the skills and techniques of your opponents...

And these are just the low level abilities! It's so cheesy. You write your own checks and no one says "no" to you if you've got the Sharingan... lol

Now you know very well only one guy was able to do that in the comic. And the reason Madara could do it is because he had shisui's other eye.

Fixed .

I'm gonna categorize "trap your a** in a genjutsu" under mind control for simplicity sake. I'm not talking about simple coercion. Sasuke used this to beat Danzo, Itachi was the king of that sh1t, Madara used it to control summoned beasts. I can't remember offhand, but I think I remember someone using a puppet-like jutsu on ppl too. Hell, Kakashi was able to copy Zabuza's techniques before he even did them...

Think the Sharingan is kinda cheating because it is a whole bunch of powers rolled into one occular awesome ball.
Cause anything you look at to burn with an unquenchable flame? Check.
Cause someone to see whatever you want them to see? Check.
Control the thoughts and actions of anyone? Check.
Invulnerability? Check.
A sword that seals the target in a wine gourd for an eternity? Check.

Other Anime powers to lust after are Haruhi Suzumiya's ability to give reality to whatever she imagines (Up to and including the destruction of the Universe because it is "Boring") and Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's ability to throw Galaxy Shurikens (Yes...shurikens created from entire galaxies)

God, I need to finish watching that show... I'm about 11 or episodes in. So awesome...

I swear, no one does super powers like the japanese. I mean, look at Read or Die. Who would have thought to use paper that way?!

And yes... OF COURSE THE SHARINGAN IS CHEATING!!!! lol It's like finding a genie in a lamp and wishing for more wishes!

Why? You would be the only person on Earth with powers, who's would you steal? It's a useless power.
