I'd say complete bodily manipulation... If you've ever watched Yu Yu Hakusho, think Elder Toguro... Only a lot less creepy... And if you haven't watched that show... Well, Elder Toguro is a guy whose opening move was to morph his hand into a replica of his body, squeeze the rest of his body down in the cracks in the floor, let his opponent attack the replica, and then come up from underground and backstab his opponent (who as far as anyone could tell, had just cut Elder Toguro in half. The actual damage was about the level of a bad papercut.) He's also able to regenerate from anything that doesn't destroy his heart or brain, and can move those around his body at will (he described trying to kill him like trying to find a needle in a hay stack, only the needle is constantly moving around).
Slightly more on topic, if I could have any sort of power, that sort of bodily manipulation would be it.
Thing is, wether Jake's willing to use it to full extent changes by the episode. I mean, we have yet to see him go Shiva-like with a small armys worth of weapons, and he can form at least a few pairs of hands. Half his battle stratagy revolves around streching around a area and raming the opponent, rather than, say, becoming tiny and poping up to the size of a small house.
So, yeah, much like the Ice King, he has a pretty varied way to use his incredibly useful talent, but lacks the sort of "ommf" to use them properly.

I believe I said earlier that Finn and Jake are going to grow up to be the Toguro Brothers. You got the younger tough, front line fighter and the body manipulator.
I would love to pull off some amazing comeback, unfortunately I'm not good at that sort of thing, and that timing was so impressive that I'm speechless can can only communicate through type. So what I'm saying is...nice *holds hand up for high five*

Darn it Finn, why did you have to break her out of that room! I think everyone could have been happy with a seven minute episode if it ended right there.

Old. Or as a hypothetical guess and her information about science, as old as Marcy. Have we actually met royalty who ages normally?
I'm not sure if she's quite that old. Marceline seemed to have been around for the Mushroom war or at least not too long after it ended, but thats purely speculation. As for other royalty, not really but we don't have that much to go on. LSP is around 15, but other than that, nothing really comes to mind.

Ehh, she's still pretty old. We dont know how long the Ice King has been kidnapping her, but it's probably started long before Finn showed up in his behated glory.
Also, amusingly, out of the five kings we have seen, two were undead, one was flat-out dead, and another is, well, Simon. The other is a being made out of fire, and one can only hope that he was not originaly a human. The apperance of his daughter, on the other hand, says otherwise.

She was 18 at the start of the show, and Finn has gone thru two birthdays. Nope, she's physicaly eighteen. Thats where it stops.
If she could make herself 13 through surgery, maybe she can basically control her age and therefore extend her life. The only problem with this is that she seems to thnk she's going to die of natural causes when she's making Goliad.

To put it bluntly, Ooo is harsh enough that if Finn was not around, any or all of the things that have effected the Candy Kingdom could have ended it permently. Heck, dieing from PB's expriments could probably be considered "natural causes" in the Candy Kingdom, if it were not for the fact they can now raise the dead.

Not because its bad. Far from it. This season has some of the best episodes.
But because I don't want it to drag on long enough for it to suck so I can remember it positively. And the creators can go work on something new.
I can understand the notion of always leaving people wanting more, but I do want them to keep going because it's so good. At least give us one bad season, then okay maybe. Not every series with great early episodes that goes on forever turns into the Simpsons in terms of quality.
