I want to be able to slow down time for myself at will. Maybe be able to include an object or two or a person or two in it. I'd never be late for work again!

Being able to make a double for myself to get everything done that needs to be, or telekinesis so I can get myself a pop without leaving my room.

Addressing concepts, as I have considered this many times...

Telekinesis is nice to have, but it's one of those things that can get you in trouble really easily... especially while driving. Good for tactics, and a real confidence booster.

Teleportation is a pain in the rear. You need clairvoyance just to use it!

Shapeshifting is handy, but people would get really suspicious of you if they found out. Best when used in subtle ways, like never needing beauty treatments.

Immortality requires all sorts of tack-ons to be useful. See: Death Becomes Her. Without things like eternal youth, invulnerability, etc., immortality is just a way to watch everyone you like keel over before you do. It is, however, a decent way to get revenge on someone, if you have the patience for it. Then there's the whole apocalypse thing. Once the planet's gone, you probably won't want your immortality anymore after that.

Regeneration and/or invulnerability. Both real confidence boosters, and less proactive than telekinesis. A good choice, so long as you don't catch one of a small batch of rather uncomfortable diseases.

Augmented strength is a bit of a waste. You get only some of the benefits of abilities like telekinesis, plus you have to worry about breaking doorknobs. And never pound your keyboard.

Personal preferences...

Limitless intellect: The ability to solve any puzzle, problem, or mental challenge. Comes complete with unlimited long-term memory and instant recall.

Telekinesis: Long-time favorite, though I'm most interested in it when I'm feeling vindictive.

Oh, so many choices...

I've had to make three different choices for this one...

Flight, with or without wings... you wanna travel, flight's the way to do it if you want the scenic route.

Invisibility, now, that's just exploitable, but I would love to go into Verant HQ and yell "BAN ME!" at random intervals with nobody able to see me. And of course there are dirtier applications, but do I need to mention them?

But, probably one of the most interesting and desireable powers would be simple probability-manipulation... Longshot, Domino, Scarlet Witch, those peeps' powers. Can you just think of what you could do with that? Well, I'm a Vegas native...

For me the choice depends on the setting, if there aren't a lot of superheroes running around in the world then I would want the ability to transform matter to energy and use it as an attack, kinda like gambit but also with the ability to be able to absorb the energy to improve strength, speed, etc.

If there are a lot of superheroes that the ability to copy powers in a permenant manner, i.e. Ifurta not Rogue, would be very nice.

Silently, the unnamed Senshi drew a small jewel-hilted athame from some form of pocket-space, and lightly ran it across the back of her left hand. Good, she wasn't one of those fools that slashed their palm open whenever one of the various reasons to use blood arose. I did the same with my own vorpal-bladed athame. It was a much plainer affair than my counterpart's, but I bet hers couldn't call up a higher-level demon just by carving a smiley face in the ground.
