Which anime superpowers would you prefer?

There have been a lot of "If you were stuck on a desert island with a length of rope, a volleyball named Wilson, and any anime character, who would it be?" kind of questions lately. So now it's time to start up something unique.

Obviously in a lot of anime, there are a slew of different characters, creatures, etc, with a ton of different superpowers, abilities, etc. If you had the choice, which powers/abilities would you have?

For me, I would definately want to be a Radham Tekkaman. Granted, there's the downside to having a mind-controlling parasite forcing you to kill of your own species, but in the case of Dead-End from Tekkaman Blade II, the Radham Tekkaplant didn't give him the parasite (because he was too focused on complete destruction anyway).

In human form, I'd have pseudo-telepathy (the whole "sensing/buzz" thing like Highlander or DBZ), and red irises (without having to go albino!).

I could transform at will, being able to fly, attack, and generally exist for extended periods of time in the vacuum of space. Surviving thermonuclear explosions: no problem! Causing thernonuclear explosions: again, no problem! There's also the fact I'd be immortal (unless I was killed by another Tekkaman, or a quantum energy weapon of similar origins) in both my human and Tekkaman form.

Finally, the biggest plus: I'd be my own mech! I could travel anywhere on the Earth, and with a rest stop or two on the way, through the solar system.

I wouldn't mind being a DBZ character, actually. I mean, I'd be able to whip the butts of the greatest fighters in the universe! (Oh, I wouldn't mind being a male in that series either....)

(I love the DBZ women. They're so.... unbalanced.)

For sheer power, Akira, but without the psychosis.

For showing off, Seijuro Hiko.

For everyday usefulness, any telekinetic.

For making my millions, the mind of Yukino Miyazawa, reader of stocks books at age three.

...

And Tutu's ballet skillz.

*Brandon (GunGrave). Or Grave as he is called later on. Grave has pretty nice powers.

*Alucard (Hellsing). He is cool and can smash vamps with his hands.

*Vash (Trigun). He is lucky, I would like a piece of his luck.

*Naruto (Naruto). Hear me chop ninjas!

*Yuusuke (Green Green). Chick magnet.

Giant Homicidal Fireballs! OMG¡¡¡¡ Wewt!¡¡!!!!1¡¡!Alt+941!!!

Actually Haruko had some pretty awesome powers, I want to pull rip-chord powered Bass Guitars out of people's faces... well.... it's actually more technology than "super-power."

Nabeshin is pretty bad-ass to. I need a super afro with trenchcoat effect, capable of concealing any weapon or device from a small watch to a thermonuclear device.

And then Miko, with the all powerful Neo-Nimbo. 0:

Kamui's power from X (the series more than the movie, in the series he wasn't such a puss)
