Probability manipulation can make anything happen. That's the strongest one. Although ofc big risk of tearing up the fabric of reality by messing with small forces probability and just destroying everything by accident.

Hammerspace.

Be able to pull out whatever I happen to need at the time from out of nowhere.

Legit, in the real world, wolverine's healing factor is the most useful. Other stuff is about tricks. His kind of healing means no cancer, no Alzheimer's, no strokes, no heart attacks, nada. A long, healthy life free of disease of almost any kind.

The only drawback is the semi-immortality. A long life watching others die would suck hard. It's already bad enough with a regular life span.

The ability to stop time and still interact with the world. Do you know how many books I have on my TBR?

Time stop can also be used for bad things like r**e and murder

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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.

shapeshifting

depending on how realistic you want to keep it the benefits go from "pretty nice" to "god amongst men" level:

  • backpain? just fix your back
  • toothache? grow new teeth
  • don't feel like going to the hairdresser? shift into a different hairstyle
  • gender problems? forget HRT you can make hormones science doesn't even know about
  • aging is no more (if you want)
  • donate all the blood you want! hell you can donate your heart if you find a doctor that doesn't ask questions
  • mental fog getting you down? just fuckin change your brain. "is it still me after?" don't know don't care now go revolutionize physics Einstein
  • grow a tail

the possibilities are endless

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.

Probably, like Deadpool, your injuries would keep regenerating back to their current state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

If that happens to me, I'm coming for you, for cursing me!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Time control. I think it's the most powerful one.

God's omnipotence, from the Bible.

And if that's not ok, then Avatar bending powers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

You couldn't find a more contradictory mythos if you tried, lol.

From Star Trek TNG, I would pick Q's power
