Do you need inspiration for Superpowers?
#1
I found a wiki which contains a massive number of special abilities.
Should help inspire people when they're coming up with special abilities for their stories.
http://powerlisting.wikia.com
Examples:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Meta_Teleportation Just for fun
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Plot_Control Some of the powers listed are awfully meta.
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Omnipotence No power listing is complete without this. It's a fuzzy one though, as omnipotence is a vague thing to begin with, so there are many "omnipotent" powers on that site.
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Reality_Warping Just in case you need a deity..
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Illusion_Manipulation A more normal power
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Symbol_Magic Magic
A couple of power categories to make it easier for you to find your way around there:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Omnipotent_Powers
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Common_Powers
A list of all of the power categories:

Updated the OP with some information that'll make it easier for you to find your way around there.

Of course, you could go with the classic idea of clicking the "Random page" link, and seeing what might be good.

Random is kinda random. Three things which it gave me. It's kinda hit and miss.
I just wander around the site sifting through dozens of powers, usually via the links on other powers.

Well yeah, it's pretty imperfect, and I'd say it's best for those who have literally no ideas, and just want somewhere to start off. Clicking random a view times couldn't hurt, at least.
That said, you may end up finding yourself clicking it many times before you find something that you like.
You could say it's a last resort.
