    Mm, 7 seems more like probability manipulation.

    So I'd either pick 7, or 3.

    9. Copy gems to make better gems = infinite wealth, copy medicine to make better medicine = excellent health, copy body armor to make better body armor over and over again = Iron Man armor, etc.

    It's a toss-up between 2 and 3 for me, depending on the magnitudes of each power.

    But one of the two.

    Well the obvious one for that is Guardian 5.

    If the MunchKING pledges to aid anyone, then whenever they are in danger he can teleport to them and save them.

    2. Was that supposed to hurt?
    Ooooh... Ultimate Stamina!

    This one's obviously some DBZ-esque No-sells.

    3. It's all mind over matter.
    "and if I don't mind it didn't matter"

    Sophlistic injury? I only take injury if I allow myself to believe you have existence?

    4. Anything is a weapon in the right hands.
    Well that sounds like the MunchKING (or Jackie Chan) standard. An ability to use any item, no matter how silly as a powerful weapon!

    5. Don't fear the darkness, fear what is in the darkness.
    Epic stealth... I like it!

    6. Time to put this thing into overdrive.
    Tim Taylor specials? The ability to overclock any machine no matter how powerful or complex?

    7. Looks like it's my lucky day.
    Super Luck combined with Serendipity obviously. Everything is coming up MunchKING.

    8. You better hope you heal faster than I do.
    The obvious answer is Wolverine level regen and bad attitude...

    9. Sometimes the copy is better than the original.
    Ah, the ability to take a copy of an item and make it powered up to it's fictional equivalent!

    I take Hammers and turn them into Mjoliner, and toy phasers become super deadly.

    10. Nature is unstoppable.
    Green Mage all the way! Control over Nature/Forests/Deadly animals. Maybe some other Natural disasters like Volcanos/Tornados/Tsunamis thrown in there depending on how loose of "nature" I can get away with.
    The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!

    Since it's 'based on' the phrase, I'll go for "As long as you knead me, I'll be there." The power granted to bakers to have a little magical dough-boy assistant.

    The power to make everything hurt you, even things that aren't supposed to, like soft furnishings or cold scrambled eggs.

    The power to psychically look down from above the Matterhorn and get a clear warning of imminent avalanches and whatnot in the environs of the Italian/Swiss border-country Alps.

    The ability to always be holding a weapon in the wrong hand so you can't use it.

    The ability to avoid walking into the end of the bed when you get up for a pee in the middle of the night.

    The ability to survive getting driven over (though not without considerable discomfort).

    The sad affliction that means one has no ability to distinguish good luck from bad, and so every day looks like it's a lucky day, even when it's in fact catastrophic.

    ".... because at least then you'll be healing a bit." The power to freeze all damage received such that it never gets any worse. Or better.

    The ability to instantly re-draw all Rob Liefeld comics from the 90s.

    1. As long as you need me, i'll be there. Anytime someone says your name, you are teleported to that person's side, regardless of whatever else you're doing.

    2. Was that supposed to hurt? Immunity to pain, butt not injury.

    3. It's all mind over matter. Your brain teleports out of your skull and strikes against an object in order to move it. This does not protect your brain for damage, nor reconnect it to your skull.

    4. Anything is a weapon in the right hands. Anything you grab with your right hand becomes a lethal weapon, such as a knife, gun, or bomb.

    5. Don't fear the darkness, fear what is in the darkness. You become incapable of thought or action whenever you think you see something moving in darkness.

    6. Time to put this thing into overdrive. For a period of exactly one second per day, you can cause things to go into super speed, but unable to slow down.

    7. Looks like it's my lucky day. Everyone else around you is afflicted with horrific bad luck, while your luck doesn't change.

    8. You better hope you heal faster than I do. Your healing slows down drastically.

    9. Sometimes the copy is better than the original. You cause a clone of yourself to appear that is better than you in anyway, including a "more efficient morality."

    10. Nature is unstoppable. All human civilization and artifice instantly crumbles to dust.

    There is no "overkill". There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload.".

    I like to think the 90s was the time when comics hit puberty. They’d grown out of being endearing but hadn’t yet figured out where to channel their emotions to not be utterly whiny cocks. -Beadle

    Given I would only say this to one person, ever, this would indicate some kind of power where I will literally always be there for her. So...as long as my wife is alive, so am I and nothing can keep me from being with her.

    I'm down with this power.

    7. Looks like it's my lucky day.
    Second choice, because supernatural luck is always good in the real world.
    Why are we here?

    "Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
    "...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik

    5. Ability to make loud animal noises when in a dark area. I would make a lions roar.

    1. As long as you need me, i'll be there.
    You are intricately linked to your name/moniker. If someone calls it out, you appear beside them, often with something handy to help resolve the problem. This is not bound by physical limitations - if a hundred people cry out "Help me, Handyman!" than a you appears for each of them simultaneously.

    2. Was that supposed to hurt?
    A variation of immutability. Things still can hurt/damage you, but if you get a moment you can negate the injury, along with gaining a minor and temporary stat boost.

    3. It's all mind over matter.
    You have telekinesis based off your perception of the item. For example, if a car in the distance looks like you can pick it up with your hand, then you can, and so forth.

    4. Anything is a weapon in the right hands.
    The traditional "I know how to kill everyone in this room with this teacup" power, with a minor luck-based assist on that useful things always seem to be at hand. For example, that sandwich you threw at the guy had peanut butter in it, and he has a dramatic allergy to peanuts and it got in his mouth, etc.

    5. Don't fear the darkness, fear what is in the darkness.
    Two-part power. You have the ability to meld and travel through shadows. You also have a "shadow beast", a creature of mist and shadows that does your bidding. Its strength is inversely propotional to how well it is perceived.

    6. Time to put this thing into overdrive.
    The ability to force "mechanical" tools to perform 10-25% better than they should, with the side effect of them breaking down in a quarter of the normal time. For example, if the top speed of your car is 100 mph, than you can squeeze out 125 mph, but you will need to change the oil or tires in just a few thousand miles. Also applies to electronics and the like.

    7. Looks like it's my lucky day.
    Serendipity field. You always seem to have what you need to advance at any point in time. You catch all of the green lights, the road does not close until after you pass, a stock jumps after you buy it, you have a camera pointed in the right direction to snag a blackmail photo, etc. Does not work if you try to force it.

    8. You better hope you heal faster than I do.
    High-speed adaptive regeneration.

    9. Sometimes the copy is better than the original.
    Can create copies of the items someone else is using, as well as copying their skill with the items. Your copying also has a chance to produce results greater than the original (better sword, faster computer). Copied items and skills also tend to fade over time, though you can still pick things up yourself from the boost.

    10. Nature is unstoppable.
    See Ultimate Kars.
