probably anything that has to due with athleticism, speed, strength, etc. it would make my every day life so much more fun. working out would be better, playing hockey in my beer league i would own, playing pickup basketball in the park and pwning. plus your metabolism would theoretically be much higher and all the activity so you would get to eat more and eat whatever you want without gaining weight. so pretty much like spider-man powers i guess. super strength, speed, agility, stamina, plus spidey sense, wall climbing, no web shooters as those probably wouldn't be practical anyways irl

There's an episode of the Twilight Zone called, "A Kind of a Stopwatch" (1963) that might interest you.

Edit: There also seems to be a similar episode from the Twilight Zone reboot series, "A Little Peace and Quiet" (1985).

Invisibility of course. Free flights. Free hotels. Free movies. Free concerts. Women's locker rooms. Etc.

And if you didn't want to go that route, be the perfect robber and be rich.

Speed force speedsters can vibrate their molecules at the right frequency to phase through solid matter.

There's a reason I draw a distinction between super-speed and the speed force. Superman has super speed. The Flash can (and has) outrun instant teleportation.

In that order.

Or the effects of NZT without the side effects or addiction.

Teleportation.

There are a lot of places I want to go/ live, but there are also a lot of people I don't want to leave behind. I've already moved around a lot, and I'd like to be able to more easily access friends/ family/ places/ food/ language/ study.

I'm believe you, but that's just dumb. If teleportation is instant, then how can someone possibly outrun it?

Good point, you've convinced me. It seems like there are no real flaws or weaknesses with teleportation. Kind of overpowered now that I think about it.

If it's in a world where you all have superpowers as well, I want the ability to negate powers. I know someone would go crazy or evil, I'd just strip their powers away and take them down with a baseball bat.

If not... probably teleportation, assuming there isn't the potential for getting your bits scrambled up. Invulnerability + flight would be cool.

Density control.

It has multiple applications: flight, intangibility, pressure control, enanched durability, super strength, super speed, and invulnerability.

Whelp some others have already covered it.

Teleportation sounds like the most harmless one to have, but I feel like it'd just make me incredibly lazy in the end.

Telekinesis sounds like the most fun one though.

You'd need to stay incognito about it or find yourself locked in a cage underground with wars being fought over you (I guess you'd be able to read a lot of books still though!). You'd have to pick and choose how you want to influence the world, if at all, drop by silently with random acts of kindness, help out loved ones, etc. Even then, if you healed high profile people you'd probably be figured out eventually, unless you could do it at range and not just up close of course, in which case none of that really applies if you're vaguely discreet.

I like it, though. Being able to heal your wounds at will is in many ways cooler than being outright invulnerable, since invulnerability takes some of the excitement and adventure out of life (plus there's the chance your invulnerable ass falls into a crevasse...). And being able to heal people I care about, that kind of sounds a lot better than any mainly self-centered superpower, TBH. Fuck off, cancer!

mind control is the best, cause you can get away with anything. all the money you want, free to do anything, explore, have rampant sex, go see the world.

teleportation - sure i can teleport to a desert island, but i can just charter a plane and bang models on the way there. why would you be in a rush to do anything or get anywhere?

telekinesis - moving shit with your mind? to what purpose? rob banks? lift up skirts?

running really fast - i'm not that much of a hurry

immortality/self regeneration - someone's gonna catch on that you're not aging and you're gonna get in trouble. probably end up getting dissected by some government

superpower - see immortality.

invisibility - you're gonna get run over by a bus.

x-ray vision - really? you want to see through walls or through women's dresses?

The only other thing better is superintelligence, like Forge. You can just invent shit to help the world, feed the poor, clean up the environment, make you rich AND get you laid.

I would love the power of a holodeck in my mind. I can escape totally into my mind and have a perfect accurate simulation of any reality. Fake, but absolutely accurate. I somehow wind up in jail? No worries, I'm good. Bad day at work? No worries, I'm good. Being tortured? No worries I'm good. Sexual fantasies will be amazing.

Anyway, If that's too odd, I've always thought Colossus has cool powers. I can be my normal human self, but when I need to, welp, I'm pretty much a god. Or how about Thor, does he count? Be normal until I need to become godly and I whip out my hammer and get all them cool weather powers and space flight.

Flight. Sure, it's slower than teleportation, but I would miss seeing the sights as I travel.

Either that or Intuitive Aptitude, so I could show up at SuperGAF Meetups and get some knowledge.
