There's plenty of good powers out there, but which ones would suit your superheroes depends greatly on the narrative. Powers should either mirror or in certain cases contrast the character of the hero.

Straightforward hero types should have straightforward hero powers:

Flight, super strength, invulnerability, energy beams etc.

Heroes with more usual methods should have more unusual powers:

shape shifting, telepathy, intangibility, summoning ghosts, etc.

You should consider what you want your hero to be doing. Heroes with telepathic powers can make great leaders and do all sorts of interesting things, but they'd be of little immediate use in stopping runaway trains or saving people who fall from high places where the more traditional ones work better.

Here are some good requirements:

- Not too powerful

- With a variety of applications

- Fitting to a central theme

- Original

Possibly one of the greatest power sets ever is Spider-Man's. None of his powers individually make him exceptionally powerful, but they still allow him to do all the heroic things. He is agile more than he is strong and resilient, which means he's a capable fighter, but he can still be knocked out for dramatic purposes.

This finds a very good balance in powers that make your hero capable, but not too overpowered as to lose the sense of drama.

Hmmm...This is a tough one. There are probably over 1,000 creative super powers I could type, but lets stick to the basics.

Universe Walker: The power to enter and exit a parallel universe at any time.

Persuader: To persuade anyone into doing something.

Weather Control or Element Control: Having the power to shoot any element or weather thing from you're fingers.

Visual Pain: I call this one visual pain because it is the power to look someone in the eye and give them excruciating pain. Not positive on the name...

Angel Seeker: Once again, a made up name. This is the power to see and speak to angels.

And then you could always make up one.

:]

Hope this helped.

this is someone else talking, also another awesome creative super power is to be able to see through womens cloths yaaaaaaa! that would be so cool........

I think what the best super power would be is any power that able you to help people and to do good... the power that brings self-satisfaction!
