Mostly because im new to the game and want to know the basis of powers and what not:)
So far my favorites are electrcity because it looks and sounds cool, and telekenetic for the same reasons why I enjoy electric.

My favorite powers are Room Sweeper and Force Explosion >:'D
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Ice is my favorite OG powerset, animation-wise, and I like using it (even moreso now that it has a proper EU). Great damage.
Favorite individual powers are Energy Wave (awesome VFX, love the adv that pulls everyone in, and the useless-but-shiny adv for the honeycomb shield is class) and Void Shift.

They do good damage and do not bother expending energy on pointless effects other than damage. However, they also have advantages that can add other effects, like slow or KB, if you like that sort of thing. They have good defense debuffs, so you can do even more damage. At level 40 with good gear, mine can maintain a good 3200 DPS forever and did not have to sacrifice HP for that. Also, that is DPS is AOE (which admittedly doesn't really come in handy in end-game, but is still nice when needed).
Fire is great for leveling because of all the AOE. You can burn groups down quickly.
They have fun SFX. Sometimes I just go all Fireball in fights because BOOM BOOM BOOM. The stance for Conflag is awesome. Okay, the fact that it locks you is sometimes a pain, but it does mean I don't have to work at moving and firing at the same time.
Also, it's fun that practically nobody else uses it. In Rampages or Cosmics, there might be one other Fire, but there are usually none. Being unique is cool.
I also like the Force set, but you know, only when soloing, or playing vs unknockable.
The Earth set has fun SFX, but it's power is weak and it has too many attacks that do essentially the same thing.
Ice Wall is another of my faves. SFX is cool, a little root/hold and some decent damage at 100' range, what else could you want?
Oh Gatlin Gun. So fun to watch those numbers float up almost faster than my vid card can render them. I wish it was better, but eh, what you gonna do? In regular content, it is fun to open up from 100' and watch the mobs just run down the line of death.

Courage is doing what is right even when it isn't popular or safe. Honor is retaining the dignity and virtue in one's self, so it can light the way for others in the darkest of times. Compassion is showing patience and mercy towards others, even when it isn't returned or deserved. A hero is defined by these 3 words, they set him apart from others as a beacon of hope and excellence.
In B4 Summers fanboi Smack says summing stupid.
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!

because with a lot of toons, you will always have that favorite power for him
well for instance for my behe, defensive combo (only because of the animation)
for my savage would be antagonize, so cool looking anim and good stats of this power
for my specialist would be "spin and give bullets to everyone power that i don't remember how was called" (that or Bullet beatdown, also cool looking)
for Alfa would be UR, BIG roar for a big dragon
and so on...
This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day
Runners up are:
- Ebon Void (favorite block, no contest)
- Lifedrain (obvious)
- Dark Transfusion (goodbye energy management)
- Ebon Ruin (for the shadow summon and its healing at R3, mainly)
- Void Shift (stylish!)
- Pulse Beam Rifle (highly-practical, no-cheese ability)
- Conflagrate/Lightning Storm/Avalanche (mass destruction!)
- Thunderclap (speaks for itself)
- Force Cascade/Ion Cannon (amazing alpha strikes)
- Annihilate/Haymaker (fooooore!)
- Laser Sword (so hard to make it energy-friendly, but it's stylish and I still love it)
- Lead Tempest (so much range)
- Force Shield (so much energy)
- Conviction/BCR (them self heals)
- Rebirth (practically mandatory--save a star, don't release)
...and more, but I'm done for now.
This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day
Hehe, Tateklys always introduces the street gangs as from Millennium... whether or not they are.

Anyways, I don't particularly have a favorite since I appreciate diversity, But for the Game the only reason I would even consider it is because of functionality and aesthetics that I might find more appealing then others, like Shadow Embrace, dark energy whipping around and striking them with fear is nice.
I take this quote from a review that I agree with.
"customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."
Always loved "magical heroes", and the three toons I use the most are all super-sorcerers.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.

Ebon Sorcery lets you summon a little demon guy, and Radiant Sorcery lets you summon a angel thing. That is about the only real good thematic difference to be found.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
- Slotted passive aura
- Block enhancer advantage associated with the chosen slotted passive aura
- Circles
- Sigils
- Summoned ritual pet
Other than that, there's a few powers some have access to that others don't, but they're not really memorable themewise.
