Dragon Ball Z in a way is similar to Heroes, Sylar was a super powerful criminal who acquired the powers from the others, so basically, he's the Cell of a Live Action series.
Too bad Heroes was cancelled.
If you could have a character's power which would it be?

Cell. He can do about anything since he has everyone's cells.

Kibitoshin's. Being able to teleport anywhere, materialize any items I want, and have a ridiculously large life span.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!
Re: If you could have a character's power which would it be?
The generic answer would be Goku, for strength, speed and such. My more creative answer would be Majin Boo, because I can fly around and turn things into candy.
Re: If you could have a character's power which would it be?
Probably Majin Boo's, Kibito's, or Piccolo's materialization powers. Those would be awesome for every day purposes. Mark up Majin Boo and Kibito's teleportation-to-anywhere technique and that's another useful thing I'd forfeit any destructive beam technique for.
The lifespan issue with Kibito / Kaioshin wouldn't be bad, either, if only there weren't brain problems that would arise with old age, memory retaining, and a place to live after the Earth inevitably gets eaten by the sun.

Piccolo, because I'd just be able to magic up anything I wanted.

Buu.
The ability to turn things into candy and eat non-stop WITHOUT gaining a pound!? Yes, please!

Re: If you could have a character's power which would it be?
What I'd probably try to do is mix together two powers that would probably cause a logic bomb just to see what happens.
For example, if I mix Guldo's Time Freeze with Goku's Instant Movement... Would I end up having time frozen myself?
(Guldo's ability would've been absolutely crazy if a more powerful villain had it, BTW.)

Buu since I can regen from smoke and Buu is immortal since he cannot die from natural causes, old age, illnesses etc. I can also copy other powers even though it would be limited.

Re: If you could have a character's power which would it be?
He dies in DBO, but then again, he died because he lost too much power from having children. And the Majin race doesn't seem to be immortal, since they grow from kids, to adults, to old adults, from what we have seen. Though I don't think this applies to Boo.Hellspawn28 wrote:Buu since I can regen from smoke and Buu is immortal since he cannot die from natural causes, old age, illnesses etc. I can also copy other powers even though it would be limited.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Cell, specifically after his zenkai so it includes Instant Transmission.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Re: If you could have a character's power which would it be?
Definitely Paikuhan for me, I love his ''Thunder Flash Attack'' and his tornado move thingy 
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Re: If you could have a character's power which would it be?
I'd love to have the abilities of a dragon-clan Namekian, or, more specifically, Dende. Create Dragon Balls, wish for world peace (although I don't really know if that would be possible without altering people's behaviors, and if that was the case, I'd opt out of it), for all countries to be economically, scientifically, and agriculturally equal (both on an individual and governmental basis), and for the eradication of all harmful diseases - all that jazz. Then I'd proceed to make a bunch of selfish wishes, naturally. That plus regeneration and healing (which can presumably be used on myself as well as others) would be all I need.
I'd almost opt for Buu's powers but the downside of immortality is too debilitating in my eyes. While it might be a promising prospect at first, the idea of having everyone and everything I love die around me would make life extremely depressing, to the degree where I wouldn't bother forming relationships just to avoid the inevitable hurt that would come with the association of their eventual death. Besides, when the Earth eventually gets destroyed (whether through deterioration or the Sun's energy supply running out some billion years later), I'd float in the empty void of space, forever. I'd rather just wish for immortality and then have it undone some thousand years later when I get sick of life, that way I could extend it to my loved ones, although that could be problematic after a while. The same is pretty much applicable to all of Buu's powers. Want to eat candy and not get fat? Wish for it.
The only flaw I can think of is that I wouldn't be terribly strong, physically, since even the Dragon Balls are only as strong as their creator, but I can't really think of a purpose for unlimited strength besides to show off, so even that flaw is kind of negligible.

Re: If you could have a character's power which would it be?
Goku's and Kaioshin's Teleportation for ultimate transportation method, so I can teleport to everyone I know and everyplace I know, even if there are no person to sense.
Piccolo's CLOTHES BEAM!! Just making clothes out of nowhere? Could save me some money.
Sensing Ki/whatever, so I can use Teleportation properly of course.
