Superpowerz!

I'd like to be an asshole and point this out.

There are plenty of other super power related articles on this site, just look around.

I can bet you if they wrote about the cons of telekinesis, it would be something like this:

"Imagine that right when you're about to launch a 10 ton tank into a group of enemy soldiers in the midst of battle, you suddenly feel a tiny mosquito sucking your blood on your forehead. You can't use your hands to squash the bug since the majority of your powers are being siphoned from your brain to your hands to the object you are lifting. You decide 'hey, why not use my telekinetic powers to squash the bug'. Five minutes later, there are military soldiers laughing and pissing on your dumbass splattered corpse".
 
There are alot of powers that would definitely beat what I want (not counting "God" powers), but I still want molecular manipulation -"shapeshifting".

The reason that my hands are somewhat sore and I have not been sleeping is that a game recently came out where the main character has such powers, and uses them very similar to what I have wanted for quite some time now (clawed and whipblade arms, change my density, consume people for health/mass, being able to climb and run on walls, heat vision, regeneration). In fact, many of my closer friends/aquintances have actually commented "Hey, the guy in this game has your powers..."
So, since I don't really have these abilities, I have been content to wreck general havoc in a game, and giggle maniacally.

With the exception that I would also want to transform into "monsters" as well...
