I'd like to be Mario from the Mario Bros. games. I always wanted to be able to double my height by eating a mushroom, and destroy anything by jumping on it.

Problem with Dhlasim's is that the most believable...I mean he breathes fire vs flying with a blue corona, flaming a part of arm, flying upside down, or hell resurrection(and I've yet to enter some of the truly wilder domains)

So I would go for using one's chi to perform superhuman feats...damn near DBZ level and not screaming for 20 minutes sounds like a good deal.

What about the rocket jump? Being able to survive an RPG (or more powerful) explosion right beneath your feet, that flings you practically unhared into the air, and surviving the fall!

Or to take it over the top, the BFG jump!!!

I voted for Mario.

The ability to be stopped by an invisible wall when you try to leave the boundries of your realm. Not neccesarily the players option, but a fascinating phenomenon nonetheless. What causes this immovible, unscalable wall to appear? Jump, run, and attack it at your own will, it will hold, laughing at you all the way. Who sunmmons this indestructable wall of invisibilty? Who commands it? It is a natural occurence in the place you happen to be in? Built by an ancient civilization? Placed their by the gods themselves?

That and the strange phenomenon of scenery convienietly placed to block your passage to areas outside of your immediate vicinity.

You might not be able to double your height with a mushroom ala Mario, but you can expand your consciousness exponentially.

Impossible Video Game power? Ill take Grand Theft Auto, Out of Jail immediately after being arrested no atter what crime you committ.

Yes, I'd like that too, but it could be avoided by not commiting crimes in the first place. But, it would be neat to be able to shoot several people in public and not be wanted for it, and then get off with only a small bribe. If they're that lenient, then it's no suprise there's so much crime.
