Hammerspace.
Be able to pull out whatever I happen to need at the time from out of nowhere.
…do you ever need an RKO?

From Star Trek TNG, I would pick Q’s power
Fuck ya, best choice so far.
God’s omnipotence, from the Bible.
And if that’s not ok, then Avatar bending powers.
You couldn’t find a more contradictory mythos if you tried, lol.
God is omnipotent? Well…that explains why Mary was still a virgin.
The ability to stop time and still interact with the world. Do you know how many books I have on my TBR?
Wouldn’t you still age if you’re operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you’re suddenly aging rapidly.
Please don’t poke holes into my fantasy.
Haha! Fair enough. It’s your fantasy, so you determine the physics of it.
I wouldn’t care. I’d walk out into the world to go see stuff and maybe change some things. I wouldn’t stay still or build a life with those powers.
Otherwise, you could look at Howard families by Heinlein for the solution. Which is also to move before people notice, but staying put for periods of time at a time.
…
Time stop can also be used for bad things like r**e and murder
I mean, it can? Feel like most super powers can be used for bad things. That’s where all of the good guys get bad guys to fight.
With great power must come great responsibility
I’d take Wolverine’s healing powers. I have a few chronic injuries that I wrestle with, and it would be amazing to be free of pain. I’d also be able to be reckless again like I was when I sustained said injuries. It would also be pretty cool to smoke cigars, inhaling them the whole time, eat 10 pounds of bacon each week, and other generally deadly behaviors that could be quite enjoyable.
The older people are, the more they will appreciate that.
Probably, like Deadpool, your injuries would keep regenerating back to their current state.
If that happens to me, I’m coming for you, for cursing me!
I want a Save and Load feature for myself in regards to reality.
You should see the Vat of Acid Rick and Morty episode if you haven’t already.
Quick save, from the web serial “The perfect run”

So, Jumper.
id choose super speed,
the kind where you also change your perception of time and everything just seems to slow down compared to you.as long as i can change that speed, and am not stuck percieving everything at a crawl.
Just make the the founding member of the Q Continuum. I’ll fuck off and leave humans alone.
Honestly this is a pretty good one. It’s basically the “any technology of sufficient complexity is indistinguishable from magic” answer. The Q Continuum were a weird mix of magic/super powers, and even demonstrated the ability to gift those abilities to others at will.
It was just one line but I loved when someone told Q that he was a trickster god to a planet from how much he messed with them in the past.
The implications of that. Ok, without the Marvel movies I highly doubt even 10% of the human race knows what Loki is about. Q was the trickster god for an entire planet. Billions of people knew the legend of Q. He must have been doing stuff to them for thousands of years all across their society. Take the most well known people in history there is still a big possibility that most people hadn’t heard of them a century or so ago.
Q was bigger to them than Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, the Emperors of China, the Monarch of the UK, Plato, and Santa combined to this species.
As an introvert a Bard loaded with charisma looks like a nice superpower to have, can’t be more fictional than that.
The immortality of Dorian Gray. Got to have that opt out of life.
…
I want the blink ability from the Dishonored video games. Basically a line of sight teleport but still it’s awesome in the games.
I was going to say teleportation as in Jumper but going instantly to a place outside your field of view seems like trouble waiting to happen. Blink is already good enough.
Nightcrawler teleportation. Could solve so many problems in this world caused by those who see themselves as untouchable…
Id personally choose power mimicry (the version where you just have to see a person using a power once and can just mimic it at any time) then I’d just build my set of powers
Feruchemy
Not Allomancy? Being a full Mistborn would be cool, but I’d take being a coin shot.
Hemalurgy is right out of course. Really don’t want spikes sticking in me anywhere.
