I would assume a thread about superpowers would belong in the comics section. Plus, there are references and similarities to the powers of comic book characters.
It really doesn't belong anywhere else, since the main target audience is comic book fans and Comic books are usually always about superpowers.
In a way, its superpowers vs superpowers, so its somewhat a vs topic.
If you look carefully, you'll find that some powersets are similar to those of nightcrawler, storm, colossus, shadowcat, Pyro, Aquaman, storm and more. Heck I even mentioned Nightcrawler.
Also, part one of this topic was allowed, so I don't see why this shouldn't be.
Earth is the most damaging... 8.0 on the richter scale is pretty intense. Especially for something you can generate casually every 30 minutes. That's in addition to sandstorms, etc.
But, assuming this is a day to day environment, I'd go for Space. Air has faster transport over long range, but Space is cooler.
Well, since I would also be able to teleport Nightcrawler style and phase through matter, that may be hard for you to do. I could teleport out of your range instantly, and be 600 miles away in around 10 minutes.

I like the metal option. Superstrength and durability would be great. I don't care too much about manipulating metal (melting it) too much but the other stuff would be nice. You could get a job moving heavy stuff and get paid well.
Next, I think I like air--fast flying would get me to work much much faster to save driving time and expense. I am thinking that one could probably make a good living delivering packages or something like that with this.
The water/ice thingy...you could create huge ice blocks for companies to use to cool factories like some of them already use. You could save them lots on electric bills and make some dough that way, eh?
With the Earth ability...I don't know, you could threaten to destroy things unless the govt paid you lots of money...but that would probably just get you shot by the CIA or something.

Which I personally think is silly...
