the steps:
1. produce enough me's to form a corporation
2. use illusion control to make everyone look different
3. use the super-teamwork me and my duplicate plus my paint powers to become the best paint company in the world.
4. make more duplicates of me to buy stocks in my own corporation.
5. totally become rich. then use my duplicates to buy out other companies without anyone knowing, eventually controlling the entire worlds economy, and since I can always make a new duplicate, I'll be technically immortal. maybe.
So apart from destroying David Copperfield's carreer, I would also hide inside solid objects all day so that no one would witness my 15' long tongue or slimy amphibian skin.
I'm thinking I'm going to be an embittered super villain with these powers, but a petty one, stealing only what I need to survive while avoiding the public eye. Still, as my resentment grows at being shunned by society, who knows what darkness might take root in my soul?
Plus, for fun on weekend nights I'd jump from building to building with my toad legs.
This has to be one of the weirdest power sets I've ever seen and I did all of these at random (and is it weird that I can sort of see how they'd be tied together?)
I'm pretty sure I'd be hell bent on using these powers for good just to prove I friggin' could since two of these are pretty villainous powers and the other comes with a host of ethics issues (mental manipulation).
The Poison Manipulation and Reanimation would be awesome for medical and law enforcement purposes. Reanimation to have the deceased assist in the capture of their killers and speaking to spirits would allow me to give comfort and solace to their loved ones while the Poison Manipulation would let me remove poison and illness (hopefully while being immune to pathogens myself). The mental manipulation could theoretically be used in therapy to help unlock buried memories or uncovering the causes of other problems. I'd like to use that one in Law Enforcement to make people tell the truth but then there are those ethical issues again.

I got season control (by the way, whoever wrote that Deerling controls seasons has never actually played Pokémon), air manipulation and cosmic manipulation. Hm, I sense a theme here (I swear it was random). I'd probably abuse them, though I wouldn't actively use them to be evil, simply chaotic.
EDIT: Ah ha! I would use them for space travel and survival on other planets (and screw with the seasons on the planet of anyone who dared screw with me). Air manipulation is effectively telekinesis, so that would probably be used for simple things like fighting and creating shelter.

This is actually a pretty decent set. I can transform into a monster and then evolve that form to upgrade it in various ways. I guess the Illusion Manipulation would just help increase the effect on enemies, I suppose.
If you don't think Shapeshifting is a good power play five minutes of Prototype and you will want the power for the rest of your life.

Remember, I got Double Jump. I'd call you a winner with your shapeshifting.
And I got power negation in a world without any other supers.

Okay, so now I have the ability to best even the top military snipers in the world in any competition, beat any world-class athlete at the Olympics, make Stephen Hawking look like a baboon in comparison...
*censored* that! I'm going to mimic Warren Buffett's business acumen and make a KILLING!

...what? So, my power is to be able to use two powers? But I don't have any other powers! Unless this is like one of those tables where if you get 100 you can roll 2 more times, in which case my other powers are: List of Methods of Flight (Which can be stretched into Flight, if you agree to it), and Radiation Manipulation
So, under the first interpretation, I'm useless, under the second interpretation, I'm pretty badass.

Anyone who can tell me what my avatar is gets a cookie.
A sub-set of weather control... so I can make it winter, but I can't force a snow day when I'm feeling crappy. Or keep it spring when I want it to be nice outside. Okay, I guess...
Then there is Ectoplasm Control and Stinger Protrusion for my next two powers. I'm a ghost bee that controls the seasons? Hark! Fear me flowers!
I got the incredibly awesome power of Hibernation.
If we do the tree superpower thing I also get Healing and Mediumship.
Now, I find it boring to describe what I would do with them separately, so instead I will combine them into one fun and balanced power.
I am now able to heal people, but will fall into a coma in which my spirit leaves my body and can not enter it for a time dependent on the amount of healing I did. As I am disembodied I will be able to see the spirit world and communicate with its inhabitants. And then there is the thing that other spirits can enter my body while I am barred from it, but only if I don't stop them in my spirit form. After my forced waiting period I will be able to easily exorcise (under the condition that they are not especially powerful beings and that I am actually there) that I am there them and take back my place in my body.
Dimensional Storage, which may also grant Summoning and Weapon Summoning.
Quote:
The power to store objects/organisms in a "pocket dimension" and cause them to re-materialize at will.
The user can put items into a separate dimension for safe keeping, and can summon them back with relative ease. Some users have different methods of "Pocketing", some have holes or areas on their body that "suck" objects in. Some use a "Bag of Tricks" or "Magic satchel" to hold infinite amounts of objects inside. Wile other can mentally make a portal.
Well, there would be the boring (but incredibly useful!) things such as using this power instead of a schoolbag and pockets.
Given the ability to summon weapons, in a combat situation, I would fight like Noctis Lucis Caelum (FFVersusXIII), calling and dismissing a variety of swords just for the heck of it. I might also spam throwing weapons or one-shot firearms .
I would also eliminate the need for CGI monsters if I can summon any one I want.
Some of my creature summons could be new friends!
(also...Shiva. 'nuff said )
Gives the user the ability to create a new power and use it instead of this own.Not to confuse with Miming,as Miming only allow the user to mime another's abilities.Add new power here allows the user to create abilities,even though they're not seeing it at the moment,or have never seen it.
That's actually awesome...

I got:
Light Mimicry (apparently I can fly and move FTL. )
List of all Superpowe....oh.
Enchanted Artistry (I draw things and the happen)
List of all S...HEY!
Omnipotence.
Jumping Jack: The ability to jump as high as I want.
The Rabbit Hole: The ability to put your opponent in a spinning piledriver and then turn into a vortex to slam them. You could hold your opponent them upside down by the waist, then leap into the air in a sitting position with the opponent's head between your legs and set them up for a spinning piledriver, but once activated you'll glow & turn into a ball which dissolves into a vortex and slam the opponent head hard into the ground that causes massive damage.
Age Shifting: The ability to alter one's age at will
huh i don't know about the age shifting bu jumping jack and the rabit hole work great together.

so i looked back at jumping jack and it only says i can jump as high as i want but what about how far??

Wow. That is actually a pretty good combat-oriented set. Laser Emission gives me a nice long-range attack capable of piercing things (and if recent technology ideas are any indication, "things" would include battleships), Danger Intuition means that I'm always on even footing or better as far as surprise goes, and Skin Manipulation is minor shapeshifting with some tanking and regeneration capability. I like it, but it doesn't really fit me all that well, to be honest.
...that set could work very well for a villain, what with the 'sawing the lady love in half with a laser' thing that shows up very rarely and the not being surprised when the hero shows up thing.
1. Sound Mimicry
Well, now I can sing (better). NICE!
2. Stinger Projection.
3. Techniques... (which ends up being able to use your powers in cooler ways that you wouldn't think of otherwise)
Eh, sound mimicry is good enough for me. Now I don't need an ipod, since I memorize songs really easily.
Taken by itself: I can give awesome hugs! Also, once I get it coordinated, I should be able to manage all sorts of complex tasks, which leads into:
2) "Techniques" (which I'm interpreting as "can apply other superpowers in highly specialised ways)
3) Replication
Now this is fun... let's say I started out with a weirdly altering anatomy and duplicating limbs, and then started being able to create entire duplicates of myself, which themselves also have the same powers. Properly weird, but definitely entertaining.
basically, Judge Dredd..with 3 levels of punishment
if you litter I'll make you feel guilty until you go pick it up..
if you do something more serious I'll fling my poo at you
and if you commit a capital crime, I'll snuff your life out with a kiss... or a whack with my tail, if you're a dude
alternatively, I could become a master criminal.. a trapeze artist by day, I'll guilt trip you into giving me all your stuff by night "...or else"
