    Not one that I think I would actually want, but one I’ve thought a lot about is absolute bodily autonomy in the same way that you can control any aspect of your body consciously but without deliberate thought then it’ll default back to unconscious control. Want to grow taller? Start kicking that system back into drive. Want to lose weight? Start absorbing energy less efficiently or burning more calories fruitlessly. Have a random pain? Start to monitor that area and sensing for any particular anomalies.

    If the control can go all the way down to the microscopic level then you’d be a walking advancement factory for every medical field. The primary issue would be trying to make practical recreations of the medicines and procedures you’d help create, and even then you could try bioengineering cells to recreate your medicines and procedures. You’d also likely be able to effectively never age by correcting the errors in your cell reproduction. With enough time and effort you could probably spawn a clone of yourself to go out and continue to help others.

    If you allow the caveat that this also works on anyone/anything that you can touch, then the limit for what you can cure or at least aid with is bound only by what you can touch, analyze, and solve in time.

    Technopathy. Being able to sense and manipulate electronics/electricity flows to “hack” computers and less smart hardware by waving my hands and “wishing” the outcome I wanted would make my life so much easier.

    I could charge a good rate for my ability and my learnt knowledge as well take down huge tech companies.

    Teleport. See the world, visit everywhere, without enduring planes,trains,cars , nipping home for a quick 15minute alone time and being able to sleep in my own bed every night.

    To be able to talk to animals. Really just so I can talk to my dog who is losing the ability to walk, so me and her vet can help her; where it hurts, are the drugs helping. So I know exactly what she needs and where she wants to go when she’s barking at me for help getting up and walking.
    So I can explain to my boy dog why we don’t go on walks as often or as far, why he can’t rough house with her anymore.

    Is third person empath a thing? Like being able to have what one person is experiencing be felt emotionally by another person? I would do that, then really fuck up the day of an ICE agent.

    Teleportation, no distance limit, and I can take others with me. For accuracy, I can “see” where I’m about to teleport to. First, I’m going to explore other planets with life, venturing into the universe for a few weeks. Then I’m going to move a few people off planet. Don’t worry, I’ll let them bring their money.

    I’ve always liked the idea of time manipulation- stopping, starting, speeding up, slowing down, rewinding time. It has a lot of uses like giving me as much time as I need to get ready in the morning and doing good in the world in ways I won’t mention.

    Oh mine is very simple and not much to ask at all: I just want pure, unlimited, godlike omnipotence.

    I promise to use it in every irresponsible way imaginable.

    The ability to manipulate probability.

    Get the green light, getting you some where on time. Somehow manage to tickets to a sold out concert. Boss just extended a deadline to allow you to get the work done. Score the prefect seats on an airplane. No delays when taking a train.

        Probability manipulation seems like just being able to transfer your consciousness into whatever multiverse contains the outcome you prefer. All the other versions of you still experience all the bad outcomes, but you get to surf through your best guess at the ideal one.

          like how she made the bomb not explode when she was young, that was prior to her gaining magic. i think reality warping is more potent form of probability manipulation.

            Probably manipulation is not guaranteed or its not really probability manipulation if its always 100% the power you are actually think about is destiny.

    Basic telekenisis. I want to be able to move object(s) with my mind. This can include me, also giving me a base level of flight.

    It would just be so convenient. Nothing is ever out of reach again.

    Teleportation. Most superpowers would be either useless on a day-to-day basis or - as another commenter suggested - would make you too inhuman to continue to have meaningful interpersonal relations with other normal humans.

    And it would allow you to have a croissant in Paris for breakfast, spend the morning strolling along a beach in the Caribbean, pop across to a great barbecue place in Texas for lunch, pass the afternoon exploring the ruins of Pompei before an evening meal of scallops in Hobart. Even just not worrying about the daily commute, always being able to 'port home to use your own toilet during the day, just mundane stuff like that would be grand.

      depends on which kind of teleportation, interdimensional or matter transporting in the same reality. Nightcrawlers and azazel teleportaiton is all interdimensional, so more advanced(at least azazels teleportaiton is more advanced than nightcrawlers, because he can teleport anywhere even if he never been there. Or like dofp apocalypse, teleportation bubble forms and it teleports you to another location, cons is it takes a long time to form it, but benefits from teleport multiple people without any straining.
