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.
This, but with selective abstraction.
I could just manipulate raw electricity signals, but if i need to i can see the flow of assembler instructions running through the CPU, or even the same code in some high-level language modeled on my brain pattern.
As en electronics engineer I’m going to “Yes But…” this and say that the lower the voltage/current you’re trying to manipulate the more concentration it requires to do it without over-voltaging the components you’re trying to manipulate and frying the circuitry.
So whilst this would be possible you’d have to:
-
Hold all the cores, ALU, etc. in the CPU at the current state that they’re in
-
Then spend time flipping the bits (not one at a time but like a whole 32 bit number) required to represent your instructions.
With enough practice and meditation you get a “feel” for the instructions and can do this but it takes time. I think this is fair as once you’ve learnt a CPU architecture most of the machine instructions are the same and it’s just a matter of getting them to run in the right order.
This way you don’t start out overpowered and there’s a high skill ceiling.
(I may or may not be writing a book around this already and have thought about it a lot haha)
I was about to say, almost sounded like you were speaking from experience XD You’ll be the first suspect if a supervillain with your powers ever pops up
(quickly hides cape and twirly mustache)
I have no idea what you’re talking about officer

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.Superspeed- quick commute, get chores done fast, visit the world
How to exit neovim.
The correct answer is omnipotence
I would like the ability to remove other people’s superpowers, please, and thank you
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.
immortality but I can die if I want to.
I would want to be able to switch bodies with people like in Freaky Friday, but I would want to control who and when.
My family is full of mental health issues.
I’d like to fix that for them and myself, and for all the other sufferers out there.
Superhero ability? Healing. By far.
telepathy, psionic effect on the brain does that in variations of it.
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.
scarlett witch and dominos mutant ability is probability manipulation, i think thats what makes her chaos magic so more stronger because of her mutant abilities
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.
extreme cum
how extreme?
Like 3.6 roentgen.
Ability to give people taste buds wherever I think is funniest at the time
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.
This is the one. I hate driving, so taking the middle man out of traveling would make my life so much better. Being able to visit my family and then come back home to sleep? That would be the dream
Also true!
Would be so cool to have personal sanctuary in the middle of the wilderness to relax at without the worry of how to I get back.
YES!
This is the best super power hands down. If you get a space suit, you could even jump to the moon. And in a single night every despot and dictator could be dealt with.
Hmm. good thought.
