My first result was awesome: Voice Manipulation! I get to sound like whomever and whatever I want. As a singer, this is ideal!
I would use this in a fairly conventional way: to become famous! American/Canadian Idol? Move over, folks, I can sound like any of you, and anyone else I want. I form several bands, and eventually skyrocket to superstardom! I'd probably also do voice-overs for commercials and animated features.
On its own, however, it isn't a particularly "heroic" power, so time for my level bump: Cape Manipulation. Okay, now I can fly, parachute, attack, teleport, snare, become invisible, invulnerable, and intangible, and have limited use of one of the greatest superpowers ever: Cartoon Physics. Now I'm starting to shape up. Enhancing Mutation. Sweet sassy molassy. I can now adapt to nearly any environment or condition, and gift myself new superpower suites at will. I am nigh-invincible!
With my new power bump, I grant myself whatever powers I need to solve the world's most unsolved mysteries, to hunt down every at-large violent offender, to eliminate the threat of nuclear war, and whatever the heck else I feel like doing that day.
I found this thread this way, I was randomly blipping around in TVTropes, just for fun, when I landed on Super Power Lottery. There was a link from there to here.
I give myself the body of the Ultimate Goddess that's as powerful as possible without my mind shutting down (and since the brain is part of the body, that would be a lot).
Prince Zahn, an average movie theater usher from NYC during the day, sneaks in every night to watch the latest movies.
But using a special movie projector given to him by a distant relative, he sees things other than the latest blockbuster hits.
Prince Zahn is-
The BIG SCREEN PROPHET.
Literally "Walking" into the latest films and "wrecking" the greatest climatic moments of all time to find the hidden prophecies within!
Coming soon to theaters in Spring 2013 -*Like everything else coming into our lives that's awesome!
That is, assuming he can refrain from eating Spiderman...

Snicker.

You can call me by my username, or Zahn, or PZ, I would appreciate you not deviating from the given.
Games currently playing:
I have Negativity Manipulation, which is apparently... "The user has the power to control all forms of negativity, physical and spiritual negativity. such as Anti-matter, Nothingess, Demonic forces, Destruction, etc"
Sounds like I am a mary sue or a villain. I'm going to hit random again...
Gravity Negation! "The user can negate gravity in a certain area whether it be a house, a city or even a planet, causing things to rise from the ground. The user may be able to choose whether or not they are affected by their negation."
Seems less broken than an open ended power like Negativity Manipulation, still a little OP.

I got Power Via Blood. I can activate whatever power lies dormant in my bloodstream. And since I'm still at Mundane Level (Skills Peak at Good, by the FATE system), let's inject me with fresh super-powered AB+!
And the good donor just happened to have... Power Mixture!
...
Yes. This is good. But given how my power works, I'd rather stay neutral to the side on the side of being-quite-charitable, tossing the occasional goodie to the good guys.

Put them all together and it sounds like I can touch someone, target a specific point in their future lives and live it out for them. They simply lose that period of time.
I'm fairly certain I could find a lot of good uses for that, even after the lottery numbers and stock tips.
That was shaping up to be a nicely sinister Swamp Thing. Now it's been reduced to a mysterious swamp witch that people journey to in order to gain powers. But, c'mon, I want to see someone who can punch planets...
Enhanced Gliding
Enhanced Driving (I AM the Stig!)
Power Manifestation
So, I'm a superhumanly good pilot capable of ramping a car over nigh unlimited distances. I'm also an immortal being who is a physical embodiment of... stunt driving?
Holy moly, I really AM the Stig. I'll take that! Call me... Fragenstig!

is it wrong that the first name for a superhero with that power that came up to me was "the emo-crusher"?

If by wrong you mean wonderfully and completely right, then yes.

So I guess I'd raid a graveyard and build myself a big 'ol bone dragon, and just ride around, hurling nickels at people with my magnetism powers. I'd make my dog behave well with my "Companion Allegiance".
4th Wall Awareness. Oh. God. I'd go insane within a week, knowing that I'm just a character on a page, that someone's always watching me...
Bond Empowerment. I. AM. SUPER BRO! My power comes from having awesome friends! With the power of Brohood, none can stand against me! FACE-BROFIST, Evildoer!
I am easily amused, and I've already forgotten what I obtained previously, so I have the opportunity to have fun again.
(Note: as a fourth power, I must have "has a complete power overhaul every 6 months.)
First one is Empathic Power-Shifting which would actually explain my large array of powers.
Then I have Electromagnetic Noise Manipulation, which means I'm likely to destroy my own electronic devices, computers included, if I get angry. Yay. I'll try not to ragequit next time I play TF2.
And last but not least, Spatial Manipulation. I can't tell when exactly I'm able to do that, keeping the first power in consideration, but damn, it's the best.

1. Cryptic Physiology: Eh? weird one. can become any fictional thing not a part of an established mythology….
so anything I want? cool.
2. Demon Creation: NOW we are talking. BOOM! You are now facing my demon, care to take me an my demon on? I can now make demons, and make thme do whatever I want. because DEMONS.
3. Ash Manipulation:……cool. surprisingly flexible in application, I could get used to manipulating ash. much more creative than fire, certainly!
universal force constructs
so I can make stuff..from other stuff.. the mind boggles at the possibilities Ascended physiology
so I'm sort of a superior being...which combined with the first one basically turns me into Dr. Manhattan... cool. Garbage mimicry
...aaand, here's the catch. apparently everything I do, turn myself into or create, looks like crap.

So...I put people to sleep and copy their powers. The site gives Patecatl Alcohol Manipulation so I'll take him as the chosen deity because that's an awesome power.

Or you're a Toxic Spirit/Toxic Shaman from Shadowrun. Which isn't that bad, unless you want to be a good guy.
Er. So I can enhance my own abilities, am good with a sword and have some way of manipulating light.
Am I a Jedi? Or am I Trunks? Random. Try again.
Valley Manipulation (How do you manipulate a valley?)
Psychometric Telepathy (Better not litter in MY valley!)
Ocean Lordship... but I already have a valley. Is it underwater? Like a deep sea trench, maybe?
I get the feeling they let just anybody make up powers. Ah, well. I already got about as awesome as it gets earlier.

Let's see...
Radio Frequency Detection. I can hear and mess with signals like telephones. Cool, I can get phoned without needing a phone.
Oh dear, I read a short story about a guy who randomly gains that power. Then he starts detection more and more frequencies. Of the whole spectrum. Radio, television, colors, etc. It ends badly.

the fun part of this game is that if you don't like what you come up with, you can go again..
even if you do like it, in fact.
like so: light absorbtion
ok... so now I can turn off lights.. and feed on light? umbrakinetic combat
wow!.. seriously wow!.. I mean..this is possibly the greatest conceivable combo with the first power. it both allows me to do all sort of things with the first power and also depends on me having the first power should I be standing in full daylight/artificial light. Holy fire manipulation
waitwaitwaitwait...l so I can choose between going all dark and using the shadows to do.. everything, or I can do the opposite, turn the light on and go all holy warrior on people?
even better.. holy dark fire
yeah.. definitely one of my better combos so far.
and there I thought that my first power was lame
