If I could be any fictional character, I would definitely have
to pick Dr. Manhattan from the book Watchmen. He is by far the most
powerful character I have ever come across in any work of fiction. He is, in
essence, a pure external consciousness that has complete control over not only
his own form, but of all pieces of matter. He can also manipulate all energy
around him, giving him unlimited strength as well as the ability to fly and
move objects with his mind. He is also completely invincible, as he truly
exists only as a transcended consciousness, because he can instantly heal or
put himself back together. The list of things he can do is almost endless, but
one of the best parts about this character is that he doesn't act smug or try
to enslave the human race (something well within his power). Instead, he
demonstrates a higher moral understanding by continually contributing to
science and empirically deducing that all life is beautiful. While some may
argue that he loses touch with humanity and has a hard time keeping a stable
relationship, he is definitely the most powerful character ever with morals to
match.
