Which character(s) in the DC universe have your favorite powers?

Mine are the Green Lanterns (like most I'm sure) and Martian Manhunter.

I think J'onn is the most underacheiving hero in DC, he could do a lot of damage if they wanted him to.

I agree about MM.

Telepathy. (On planetary level)
Shape shifting. (Humanoid forms, animal forms, even physical objects)
Invisibility.
Intangibility.
Flight.
Super strength.
Super speed.
Super durability.
Vision powers. (Martian Vision, Microscopic vision, X-Ray vision)
Advanced tech expertise.
He has Martian racial memories locked in his genetic code.
He had a once off power of granting a great illusion that he used on Despero

Who wouldn’t want those?

I wouldn't call him underachieving, i just don't think he wants to do a lot of damage, is all.

I actually like that about him. He's quiet, a little shy, but very observant and thoughtful. It's nice to have someone like that in among all the slam-bammers.

All told, though, its just a bit complicated for me. I'd rather have Supes' powers, slam-bam or no.:D

Heros - Superman's powers.
Villains - Amazo's powers.

Hands down, my favorite power in the DCU cause it's just plain bad ass: Any invention in Mr. Terriffic's arsenal. Hells yea. Ok not a power technically but hey screw it I'm coutin' it.

Second favorite is the Green Lantern powers. C'mon it's practically everyone's dream to be able to create anything out of your head and use it to help ya around the house or pound some bastard into submission:cool:

Raven's dichotmous nature of being the devil's, Trigon's, daughter, yet being raised as a pacifist religion founded by Azar; her empathic nature & teleporting between dimensions combined with the powers of her Soul-Self just make her a really interesting character. Unfortunately, I'm not talking about Raven's current incarnation, but her original incarnation by Marv Wolfman & George Perez.

Villains - Amazo's powers.

Definitely Martian Manhunter. Take Superman's powerset and add a bunch of mental stuff to it. Not to mention the shapechanging thing. Now just lose the stupid new look they've got for him and let him go back to being the cool philosopher who loves Chocos cookies and I'll take him.

As a secondary run, I'd have to agree with either Green Lantern or maybe Sand.

My favorite used to be super-speed.

But, after this week, it is now Captain Marvel using the power of Zeus to time travel!

How about the power.....

to move you?

I'm rather fond of ice powers (like Ice from JLU & the Giffen League or Ice Man from the Marvel U).

I'd take a modified version of Superboy-Prime as I'd like to "punch" things into the way I'd like them to be.

My girlfriend got the last piece of chocolate cake?

KA-POW!

Not only was it ME who got the last piece but...she baked me a whole 'nother cake!

Naked.

Quoted for truth.

Black Adam's got the whole package, and he's no boyscout.

Flash, and all of the stuff he can pull off with his speed/the Speed Force.

Jericho's ability to possess with eye-contact.

There ya go.

My favorite powers are zatanna's powers.

If You are talking about the comics, I suppose I'd have to agree with you about J'onn being under used, I also think that about zatanna.. But if you are talking about animation I think Zatanna is by far the most under used character, she has so much power and she only appears in ONE JLU episode.

I really like how the video game portrayed Zatanna's power. It really showed how versatile and powerful she is.

MYSTERY IN SPACE's Captain Comet's current power-set (telepathy/TK, teleportation, enhanced speed/strength/stamina) is pretty cool. And I agree with the aforementioned Black Adam and Martian Manhunter, too.

Can't forget the naked!

Oh, hell....

KA-BLAM!

Every woman I've seen that day that I want to see naked, shows up at my place naked.

Each with a different flavored cake.

KA-BLAM! (again)

They don't give a crap how fat I get from all that cake!

HELL YEAH!

Doing the Old Kenobi trick to girls everywhere and getting it to work would be cool, cooler if it works on guys and animals too: Dog-eat-neighbor-go / neighbor-attack-dog-go.

And then: neighbor-girl-bake-cake-show-cakes-go.

An awfull power would be to have every one fall in love with you, ipso facto, imagine the WAR for you, haha.

Super-speed would be real handy in real life.

The Quiz from the Brotherhood of Dada has my all-time favourite power set from an entertainment standpoint. (Basically, she has every power you haven't thought of.)
