Many stories have been surfacing, from Heroes to Twilight to the Incredibles to Gen-13, that now attribute appropriate powers to the character in relation to their personality. E.g. Human Torch: temper, need for thrill and excitement ---> Pyrokinesis.
My theory is that you can find your power by analyzing yourself. Find your best quality, your worst quality, and a neutral-yet-significant quality.
For example...
Best: I'm compassionate, and always willing to provide counselling and advice to friends and strangers.
Worst: I'm quick to judge people, and have a tendency to want to change others' behaviour.
Neutral: I can understand people well, what motivates them and brings them down.
Power: Telepathy.
Now, if you do try this, do not pick your favourite power, then try to match it to your personality. Find what power would match your personality, whether you want it or not. And feel free to pick a few if you can't decide.
Have fun learning about yourself in the geekiest way possible.
What Power Would You Get? (Not which one you'd want)
" Best : Funny, Outgoing, Forgiving, OutrageousWorst: Jealous, Overthinking, Self- CenteredNeutral: Intense, passionate Don't know what power matches that.... "Sounds like a fire or energy based kinda power to me. Something out of control.
takes alot to get me angery, very patient, can keep a level head
negative: can be very apethic, don't like showing emotion, have a load of friends but i'm not bothered if i don't see them for months on end like over the summer so i guess you cpuld say i'm a loner with friends, talk about an oxymoron
maybe ice control
Good: I'm fully willing to admit when I'm wrong and I'm not easy to anger(most of the time)
Bad: When I am angered, it's not pretty. I'm also very sarcastic and sometimes mean.
Neutral: I'm very creative and I actually think of unique ways to use abilities in my free time.
I don't know what I'd get.
You could have also been electrokinesis (electricity generation/control), but because fire is raging and strong, yet also very productive, I think that's a good fit.
" @Decoy Elite: Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde kinda thing or Bruce Banner/Joe Fixit. "Hulk powers? Lame >:(

Best: I'm a hard worker and think before I do most things.
Worst: I have a short temper and have a hard time concetrating on stuff.
Neutral: I try not to judge others and try to stay positive
@Darkseid Elite: Super thinker. You can see a bunch of scenarios play out in your head based on everything you know and don't know, making it so you always choose the best possible thing for any given situation.
You can be a little vulnerable and open (admitting your mistakes, very noble), and somewhat passive emotionally. However, when you get emotionally "overloaded", you can take it out without a lot of ration (tell me if I'm wrong, please). And if you're creative, you can take a situation and manipulate it to your liking.
With these characteristics you gave me...
Energy absorption and release.
This power is very interesting because it's somewhat complex, but if you know how to use it (someone creative, like yourself), it's spectacular.
Think Bishop from X-Men. Passively or actively absorbing any and all forms of energy, and releasing it at will. However, if overloaded, it will erupt in a radius unless channeled.
I'd say if you think ahead all the time, have a hard time conentrating, and try to stay positive, I'd say precognition.
Now, I know some media have given the power a "lame" rep, but I'm not referring to they type of precognition where you sleep and get a long, heavy flash, then get pissed and paranoid.
Yes, some uncontrollable visions would occur (lack of concentration), but you can see into 5 seconds to years in the future. You could avoid troubles, and figure out ways to change little outcomes to your favour. If you know how to use it, it's a pretty amazing ability.

And I'm surprised how many people are in this forum. I made this for the Quest, but also thought it was cool. I guess, as comic fanatics, we all imagine having super powers, but now we get to think of it in a more realistic way (in a sense), because in comics, characters RARELY ever choose their powers.
" @DH69: Don't be so hard on yourself. There's got to be something you like about yourself. Not trying to play Freud here, but if give me some things about you (random order), I can match one up with you. And I'm surprised how many people are in this forum.

yeaaaaaah i dont like anything about myself, thats the beauty of depression. at best i would come off as a bleeding heart goth jackass and nobody wants that, especially not me
Best: Genius level IQ, funny
Worst: I have little patience with morons.
Neutral: Sarcastic
So, I guess I would have a computer built into my brain. Cool.
http://www.comicvine.com/midnighter/29-2196/ Was actually what I was going for. I couldn't think of a thing to call that other than super thinking. I understand where you're coming from, though." @Darkseid Elite: No disrespect to NexusOfLight, but, as an avid reader of humanistic psychology, I feel that terms like "thinking" and "intelligence" should never be superpowers, because we all think in extraordinary ways, just all different. I'd say if you think ahead all the time, have a hard time conentrating, and try to stay positive, I'd say precognition.

I think that my suggestion would allow me to hack into stuff reallllly well. I would steal billions from multinational companies. On the other hand, with technopathy, I could go to a bank machine and make it give me money. Either is good." @NexusOfLight said:

" @Lunacyde: Nice thinking with the nuclear power. Pretty cool. But it seems more passive, emitting radiation SLOWLY... With pyrokinesis, it's a BURST of energy, and it's very intense, like passion. "True, but who says the nature of my power is only slowly emitting radiation. Perhaps I can cause uncontrollable explosions of nuclear fission/fusion. The splitting of atoms to create nuclear energy seems to be a very volatile and intense process to me :)
