I have thought of the best super power ever conceived by man! Presenting...
With the awesome power to make the probability of any event occurring equal to 1!
It may not sound like an awesome power, but just think of all the possibilities! Want to walk through walls? Make it 100% guaranteed that your atoms would pass through solid objects! Need to fly up into the air? Set the probability that you spontaneously grow wings equal to 1! With this power, you could make ANY seemingly impossible event happen, JUST BY SAYING IT WILL!
I'll admit my knowledge of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is rather limited, but what I DO know of it makes my super power possible. If it's not, let me know how and I will promptly eat my (proverbial) hat!
EDIT: Dammit, I was thinking of Schrodinger, not Heisenberg. Oh well :/
So then was my initial assumption that it would be a Heisenberg-based super power correct? I suppose Schrodinger was the inspiration for Heisenberg, so there's still a chance it would be a kick-ass super power ;P

The problem with Schrodinger is that you cannot observe the results. The results are then be both what you expect (you have grown wings) or not what you expect (you have not grown wings)
So you will have both grown and not grown wings until you look. Then you are sure that you haven't :P
Well, it's been a while, so my explanation may be wrong :P
