Ones that I would want, in order I would prefer them, from most to least, although any would be grand. As they say, I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers.
1. Teleportation - Ever read the book Jumper? Or seen the first 20 minutes of the movie Jumper (before it abandons the book and gets super stupid)? Teleportation is epic and awesome. I have so many places I would go. So many people I would visit. Also, I likely wouldn’t arouse the suspicion of the authorities with this power.
2. Healing Factor - It was hard to rank this one. Wolverine-esque regenerative healing would have a profound impact on life. I would likely feel some responsibility to help others, get in the way of danger and so forth. It would certainly be a useful power, but if I was functionally immortal, would architecture really be the best use of my time?
3. Telekinesis - Anyone who’s ever seen Sylar at work knows how cool this would be. Or Jean Gray, or Magneto really, except not just metal. This is an awesome power, but what am I supposed to do with it? It doesn’t have much of a practical use in day-to-day life. No need to say “pass the salt” ever again…
4. Flight - Totally and completely badass, and would be so much fun. Has practical use like teleportation, assuming I can fly relatively fast. Still it’s all cold in the air, and I’d have to hide from airplanes and not get shot down, and also only take off or land at night to avoid people seeing me.
These are the main four, for me. Possibilities I dismissed: super strength, laser eyes, control fire (pyrokinesis), intangibility, invisibility, control of machines.
