Well, at least he won't have to poop so much, seeing as he's hyper efficient....

well, he does have social issues cause his mind works really fast. i forget the issue number, but in an x-factor comic he revealed to doc samson (during a psyche session) that the world is too slow for him and he gets extremely bored by everything and everyone around him. during the brief session he completes a puzzle of a snail in which irony was samson's intent

Does he have a healing factor, too? Otherwise, every cut will spray blood everywhere Kill Bill style, thanks to that enlarged heart he must have to carry all that blood at high pressure...

I believe he referred to his every day life as being similar to waiting in line at the DMV behind a really slow person. Only everyone is that person.

I remember the scene where Flash had to choose between one of his kids. That sucled.

Yeah I know. Imagine doing belly flops off of high rise buildings?

As long as it can be turned off and on.

Electrokinesis .

Why would you want to turn it off ?

Cancer, so if they need to biopsy it, or cut it out...

Or cut my hair, clip my fingernails/toenails, shave.

Dunno if you'll be vulnerable to diseases/infections/pathogens .

That is the only thing you have to worry about .

Agelessness(active after 25) , Super-Immunity as well , and a powerful healing factor .

Functional biological immortality to boot .

Cancer isn't really any of that, though.

Its more your own body cells growing at an abnormal rate (simplifying things a lot here).

Also, if you're invulnerable, do you still need to eat? Can you starve? Presumably you'd be extremely weak as well, as exercise would never cause the micro tears in your body which brings on muscle repair and growth....

Well , as far as cancer goes , you have your genes to blame for(presuming you aren't a tobacco-smoker or some other sh1t like that) .

If your body needs energy , then you probably need some form of nutrition .

As far as exercise goes , some animals like bulldogs don't need a whole lot of exercise . Prior to getting your superpower , you get a gene therapy from such an animal or you could also have the proportion of fast twitch muscle fibers in your body increased . Also , if your body is genetically disinclined towards accumulating adipose tissue , you'll probably not get fat .

Ok what powers would you say are some of the most powerful in a real world setting?

No Magic/Reality/Molecule powers

Imho Spider-sence is an incredibly underrated power,

honestly I'd go with Nathan Grey level Psionics/Cable level psionics sans the technovirus or hyperintelligence breakdown how the universe works and figure out how to hyperevolve myself by successive clone batches I would tranfer my intelligence to until I developed reality warp/develop into a star child like entity who can perceive and manipulate in more than 3 dimensions. Giving a scientist a working hypercube would just be too funny.

An ionic Energy body would be awesome, or the phasing abilities of Shinobi Shaw/Shadow cat are awesome aswell
