Be able to mess with Raws.
Take on tons of damage and not die. On that note, heal just by touching or stepping over what is considered healthy (or would heal).
Use adventure game/Sierra/LucasArts logic, and have it work. Basically, if it works in context, it will work.
Save/load and quicksave/quickload.
No damage models for my car so it's technically invincible (Gran Turismo). While on that game note, modify my car with numbers instead of actual tinkering.
Give physics the middle finger and do the impossible (screw with gravity and thermodynamics).
Cast magic ala Final Fantasy style, and invent some of my own tricks (one signature combo being fire-ice-lightning; First you burn, the fires freeze into solid ice, and electricity flows between the bubbles, inexplicably exploding because of the awesome light show. Lots of damage.)
Climb and defeat colossi. And while we're at it, have theme music (battle, overworld, traveling themes).
Own an airship of my design. Already have a few I already drew, including Bloodfist.
Communicate via text sans cell phone. Much like Minecraft and other MMO games. Voice optional if I want to remain anonymous vocally. Communicate regardless of location; but only when I am "online".
Have a '~' key so I can use a console to life, and use that to cheat in further detail.

While at it, be able to instantly pick up and transport things and not waste breath with effort.
Ban/mute annoying people from my 'server'
Carry improbable amounts of money, and not have anyone treat me differently because of it.
In agreement with others, Portal Gun. To make it safer, increase my fall distance resilience so I don't break a leg from regular falls. It would take more like dropping from a building to cause it instead.
On this note, no awkward falls no matter how I land, or how far I fall.
My vision improves the better graphics settings (provided God's computer can handle it) I use.
Difficulty settings. Change them mostly by will (unless RL is hard by design).

Friendly fire is optional. (Nothing funnier than messing around with allies by hitting them with rockets, and they're miffed by it, but not dead.)

Anything can be solved with combat.
RL rules don't apply to me (because I'm the pro/antagonist).
Pilot a mech.
Do impossible aerial maneuvers, and nut suffer the consequences (like blackout and such).
I can survive being in space (breathe and move around without a space suit; no decompression, freezing, or any other bad space experience with Death as a side-effect.).
Be able to beat Death up, and win.
Go mono y mono against God, a god, or godlike being, and win.

Anything can be a weapon, no matter how ridiculous.
Sandbox mode
Breathe underwater. While at it, also be able to run underwater (Sonic games).
Shields work as they're implied (Sonic 3's shields, for example).
Everything in concept always comes with their secondary superpower to prevent RL consequences that would naturally occur and not end well.
Fly a spaceship, and also be capable of FTL speeds (again, with secondary superpower, not suffer time dialation by FTLs.)

Be able to make custom characters.
Be unnaturally good at sports and other activities, despite how much my stats (or starting stats) suck.
-1 = infinite/unlimited (whatever you want here).
My point comes across without having to say anything (Silent protagonist; IE- Crono, any other lead character in an RPG)
The end of the world can wait. I need to race for that WMD that someone's just giving away the grand prize, which also requires out-pacing a godlike rider.
Wait, that beast was harder than the asshole that's ending the world in the first place. Why isn't he the bad guy instead?
I am a headcrab
I can escape through vents, and they are surprisingly roomy.
I sold some priceless treasure (like the Ark of the Covenant) for a buck, just for the hell of it.

Use a Mini-map, and be able to stop time when looking at it at full

I can survive anything, provided I still walk away with a minimum of 1 HP.
Wear armor without it being apparent/visible. (RPGs, Doom with Blue armor or no armor)

The shirt on my back can protect me from damn-near anything, and not show any wear despite it. (No character/clothing damage/damage models)
On that note; no character, but clothing damage instead (optional). :3
Defeat or death only means "do better next time". (also provided a savegame or quicksave or savestate has been made)
Tool-Assisted Speedrunning my life is allowable/possible.
Friction? What's that?
Luck is a number, and the higher that stat, the more you have.
Survive the deadliest things because my (magic) defense stat is high enough to render it -1 or 0 HP done.
My opponent/mortal enemy is always some sort of attractive (or Ms. Fanservice) character that defines awesome in their own way. Just as well, there will almost always be an ally like that, but good-girl good, or anti-hero badass good. (preferably the badass, because they have better lines/mid-combat chatter.)
[INSERT TROPE HERE]

I can almost destroy the world by turning someone or something invisible, and trying to duplicate a rendering of them, and somehow walk away with 99 Excaliburs.
Tonic water can heal me (HP), and alcohol can enlighten me (MP), and an elixer can do both. Make that a mega, and I can do that to everyone in my group by myself.
I can hold 5+ relationships simultaneously, and nobody would ask. Nobody in the harem would even have a problem with it.

I can use materials in their raw state. No refinement required.
I can split a tank in half with a pure gold sword.
Making glass is as simple as cooking sand in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 seconds; and I can make a 1:1 scale replica of the Empire State Building out of it, and it will stand without any support. Hell, make that a 1:1 scale replica of the pyramids of Giza, standing on their summits without support, and they will not topple over, crack, break, or shatter.

Speaking of stars, I touch one, I'm unstoppable for a few seconds.
Jewelry has more meaning since I can collect about 7 emeralds and go super. I can trade them in for bigger ones (I no longer NEED to carry) and I can go hyper. Rings also make me invincible, provided I have at least one on me, and I collect it after getting hurt.
I don't have to eat or drink at all. Hell, I don't even have to go to the bathroom, possibly sleep, or brush my teeth.
I can eat ghosts, provided I eat a large pill (or is it a round of cheese?) first. Don't worry, they'll come back, they're just eyes for the moment.
As long as I'm carrying iron boots, I can float on water. I put them on though, I'll sink like a rock.
Gravity and wind doesn't apply to me when I fire a projectile or bullet weapon. I always hit my mark (provided I aimed well enough).
I can roll up a ball of gum, and use that to eventually pick up countries or even planets, and physics won't care. In fact, the King of All Cosmos would be amazed (though disappointed).
Save the world from the Apocalypse by traveling through time with a geeky childhood friend, a princess, a frog knight, a robot, a cavewoman, and a powerful dark magician (who I previously kicked the ass of).

I can walk on top of clouds.
I can cure my madness by wandering the depths of my head, and killing all sorts of bizarre nightmares that wander about and eat their spirit energy.
