Ask Lemmy

Superspeed- quick commute, get chores done fast, visit the world

I'd like to be able to touch people and feel their deepest pain and just heal that away with a compassionate thought.

You invisible? Or you AND your clothes invisible?

Otherwise the in between phases can be awkward.

Shapeshifting would be fun, that or telekinesis

Being able to fly.

In order of preference:

The ability to travel through time (and change things) as I wish, and to also have a basic understanding the way those changes will impact the (relative to the time I am currently in) future. None of that "Earth's in the wrong place, you die in the vacuum of space" bullshit.

The ability to bring people back from the dead and have them be healthy and happy

Shape shifting

Assuming it's generally not too OP powers, shapeshifting for sure.

shield projection, especially adding "layers" to reinforce it, plus the ability to use that shield to cloak and absorb energy and redirct(like naraku), and use it to change form into "energy weapons", other than that another one is reality warping, dimensional manipulation, or pocket dimension creation(which absorption power also complements), and shielding thoughts from telepaths.

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.

Telekinesis.

Incredibly underrated power. It's probably the most OP and versatile power someone can have.

Immortality, I'll get around to whatever I need to eventually.

I would like to having healing powers of some kind.

By now? To have peace of mind.

Teleportation for sure.

Dr X level Psionic powers, mind reading and mind control

I don't think I can ask for immortality or close to it since I already had kids, so I would like a magic purse - the ability to pull whatever I need out of a pocket universe and store whatever I need there. Or if I can't have the stuff, then to be able to create space where it doesn't exist at least, to store things in and pull them out. I would probably use it for crime, yes. But also just so much easier if I can always only get what I am reaching for, but don't have to organize or store it IRL. Like having stuff without having stuff.

is reality and dimensional warping, plus other various abilities associated with it.

Being able to manipulate time in any way I like: make time go faster, slower, backwards and stopping time. Even time travel, though that's arguably a different superpower, but IMO it still falls under manipulating time.

Premonition.
