Are these powers unbalanced.

I'm working on something involving humans gaining supernatural abilities. I'm aware they would be insanely powerful compared to a normal person. I'm mainly interested in whether or not the multiple sets of powers are balanced enough against each other.
Also, should I try to balance them, or leave it for a little realism?
Here's how my system works.
Each person will develop a round stone the size of a BB in the center of their brain, which will be labeled a Life Stone. It has no affect on the brain by being there.
Everyone with the stone will gain the following.
-They will be immune to diseases, and will remain as healthy as possible.
-Humans can feel pain, but have higher tolerance, and cannot die from it.
Regardless of dieting a person will remain at a healthy weight for their size at all times.
-They will not physically age past 25.
-Humans can still be damaged as before, but will heal. The body regenerates from the portion still containing the Life Stone. Even if the Life Stone is the only thing left, the person will eventually regenerate.
-Regeneration is selective, a person can choose when to start regenerating. -If the body is completely gone it will take 48 hours to regenerate from the Life Stone.
-Humans remain aware while the Life Stone is the only thing remaining. In this form they can sense everything in a 15 meter radius.
-Humans can turn their bodies to ash at will, and revert to the Life Stone.
-A human will die if their Life Stone is destroyed.
-Humans don't need to eat to stay alive, but one month without food or water and they will be reduced to their Life Stone and will take two years to regenerate.
A Life Stone can be destroyed by the following methods;
-Being heated to a temperature of 3800 C
-Struck with at least 12,000 pounds of force
-Placed under a pressure equal to 34,000 psi.
-Receive 1230 REMs of radiation.
By encasing a Life Stone in either Lead or Carbon its' powers will be contained. The person inside can no longer regenerate their body or perceive the outside world
Along with the above abilities, each person will gain one of the following sets of abilities.
Elemental-
-Blast lightning from their fingers with a range of 400 meters, with the ability to control amps and voltage.
-Can heat a target to as high as 1320 C, or as low as -180 C, with a range of 140 meters. Also throw conjure a ball of fire or ice and shoot it 300 meters.
-Can conjure water and blast it in any direction with a max pressure of 200 PSI. Can change the water pressure from -3470 psi(repulsive force) to 4200 psi for a radius of 8 meters, as far away as 400 meters, only works in water.
-Can funnel winds into any direction with a max speed of 987 mph. They change air pressure the same as they can with water.
-Conjured water and ice will vanish after 24 hours.
-Their bodies can handle temperatures up to 989 C without damage or catching fire, and will not freeze in temperatures as low as 150 C.
-Their bodies can withstand air and water pressures as low as 0 and as high as 7800 psi.
Physical-
-Has the strength to lift a weight of 870 kg over their head with ease.
-Can run with a max speed of 173 km/sec.
-Can jump as high as 443 meters.
-Bodies can handle 8100 pounds of force before being damaged, and 12,400 psi of pressure.
-Cannot feel any pain.
Telekinesis-
-Can move as much as 8000 kg with their minds and manipulate them, and throw them up to 80 km/sec. This has a range of 100 meters.
-Can deliver 9500 pounds of force or 11,000 psi of pressure to an object within 200 meters.
-Can inflict pain on anything within 400 meters, but intense pain has a range of 50 meters.
-Can create a force-field capable of repelling any object moving up to 75 km/sec or as heavy as 2000 kg, as well as blocking fire or lightning.
Shape-Shifting-
-Can transform into any organism with a minimum weight of 10 milligrams and as large as 400,000 kg. They can choose an existing creature or make one up, but it will be physically subject to the laws of physics. It will maintain the intelligence of the human.
-Can transform into any inanimate object with the same size restrictions as above, and the same sensory capabilities as a Life Stone. It can only take the form of simple machines, anything requiring electricity or fire will not work. As an object they cannot move on their own, and will need help.
-Is immune to any form of mind control while transformed.
Mind Manipulation-
-Can create illusions in another person's mind if they can see or hear that person, regardless of distance.
-Can create an illusion that will be seen by anyone in a 300 meter radius. The illusion field can be held up even without the caster present for six hours.
-Can control a person's mind if they can be seen or heard. They can keep up mind control for six hours if the victim is no longer present.
-Can control any animal in a 300 meter radius.
-They are immune to mind reading.
Intelligence-
-Can absorb knowledge with ease. They will understand any concept, regardless of how it is presented to them.
-Will have strong logic and reasoning skills.
-Can read any mind they are with in visual, audio, or physical contact with.
-Can instantly learn a new language by reading the mind of someone who speaks it.
-Can understand any machine by touching it.
-Will retain perfect memory.
-Has the equilvilent of 400/20 vision.
-Can see any spectrum of light at will.
-Is immune to illusions or mind control.
-Can detect a transformed person.
Each person will receive one set of powers, and it will be random.
Offspring will receive one set of powers from their parents or be born with a different one. Each child born has a 0.0000001% chance of receiving both sets of powers. Each new child born also has a 0.0000000001% chance of being born with all six abilities, although they will be sterile.
