Best Superpower: Telekinesis

AKA, the ability to move things simply by intending them to move.
(warning: stoner thread)
You could move the Earth away from you and fly around. You could stop bullets before they hit you. You could build intricate machines from scratch in midair with no tools (assuming you were smart enough). You could kill people from a distance by imploding their hearts. You could create fire by compressing a pocket of air until it became superheated. Basically, you could do anything you could think of.
My challenge to you is: can you think of anything better?
Discuss.

Mind reading.... Not only could I read peoples minds to get whatever I desired from them I could read your mind to learn how you do telekinesis so I could do that too

Time travel is a better power. You can stop time, then have sex with women OR you can go in the future, steal some stuff and come back to the present so nobody would be looking for you.
Also, you stop time and kill political enemies. You can do anything with time travel. Hell, you could kill superman by stopping time and looking for some kryptonite.

So I have a question about the time-freeze thing. If you stopped time, so that you were the only thing that could move ... what happens if you push someone? Can they fall over? If so, wouldn't they hit the ground at like a billion miles an hour (time acceleration) and leave a moon-sized crater in the Earth? Also, how could you move, if the air around you was frozen in time? Time freezing got all sorts of problems.
Mind reading would be a pretty good one, but I'm not sure you could learn telekinesis from it. What if it was like an X-men situation, and I had telekinesis not 'cause I had "figured it out," but just 'cause I had like a "telekinesis gland" in my head? Telepathy would not let you replicate that gland in your own head.

Fuck that.
The ability to grow any kind of plant in huge numbers anywhere at your will.
Somebody tries to rob you, suddenly he's overgrown with poison ivy.
You could fucking summon a boss plant fortress to survey your kingdom from.
You blink, and you have a field of dank.

I would say the time control ability would be controlled by your mind
I would think that you can generate a certain aura around your being that would allow for things in real time, so that you wouldn't suffocate, or if you wanted to touch someone and bring them to real time while you are time traveling or time freezing or whatever.

Yea like Sylar from Heroes.
I've always thought this would also be the best superpower...but I am torn between this, invincibility, and super speed.
Invincibility would be fucking amazing. You could do ANYTHING and not die. Super speed would basically be like teleporting, which would be super tight also. You could be anywhere in the world in a second, and while you were moving super fast, everything around you would be frozen still.

Q best super power ever
Q is a mischievous, threatening, purportedly omnipotent being who has taken an interest in humans. Q's power is thus far limited only in that he cannot overcome others in the Q Continuum. He can, seemingly, stop death, create life, travel through time, stop time, multitask/create multiple versions of himself and create entire worlds effortlessly. He can change a person's mind or make them take any action.
Aka he is god
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Why do you need to be invisible if you're immortal? Just don't ever get locked up for life

couldnt you just escape? i mean if you can't die...
super speed=invisibility... think you could run into a bank and steal all the cash and be gone before anyone could react...
super speed=teleportation since you could just run anywhere instantly (talking The Flash type of speed)
super speed= stopping time since time is relative, when you were moving super fast, everyone else would be still...

And if you ran to fast wouldn't you catch fire. Being super fast and resistant to friction/heat seems to be 2 seperate powers.

that seems so backwards to me. why wouldn't you just use your telekinesis to pick yourself up and fly around? assuming that it takes more effort/energy to move larger more massive objects than it does to move smaller ones, then you'd be wasting insane amounts of energy to move the entire earth just to fly. i don't see any reason why your telekinetic powers could be used on anything except your own body. theres no magical force field surrounding your body, blocking you from your own powers.. right?
PLUS you'd have to use your telekinesis to hold your own body in place while you're moving the earth around it. otherwise the planet's gravity would just pull you along everywhere you moved it and it wouldn't seem like anything was happening at all. so you'd have to focus on two separate telekinetic tasks to accomplish the same thing you could do with one.
... sorry. i think too much about stupid shit like this. i'm all about the most practical and efficient ways of accomplishing everything.

Eventually your sentence would end, an example would be a life sentence, which is hardly ever life. But if you got a death sentence, I guess being locked up for eternity would be an option after the failed attempts.
I like the idea of being able to manipulate time, but I think true teleportation would be the one I would want, if I couldn't be Q.
