Super speed.

I never seem to have enough time. Now I can get a full night's sleep in two seconds, do all my housework in less, read every book ever, maybe write a few dozen of my own, "hike" across America at mach 1......endless possibility.

Adjust probability of outcomes.

What's the probability I'll win the lottery? What's the probability your gun is going to misfire and blow your hand off? What's the probability Half Life 3 is announced within the hour?

I'd go with flight, provided I could mentally control how fast I'm going and my body would be adapted to handle extreme accelerations.

What if you get tired of living? I would imagine after a few thousand or even a few hundred years you might just be ready to go. What then?

Screwing around with the laws of physics would be fun.
I'd like to be able to stop time please.
Now if i only could figure out how not to destroy the universe...
I'f i where to stop time, air resistance would trap me in place because with time moving slower then i can perceive, air would move out of my way rather slowly. Even so, i'd drag a blastwave of compressed air behind me.
If i where to actually stop time, the tiniest movement would have me hit some particle outside of "me"; anything outside the magical field that would envelop my body, with unlimited speed.

I would be willing to take that chance. I have never really understood the whole tired of living thing, I mean, I get that someone very old and infirm might find themself ready to give up if their whole life is just a daily uphill struggle, but I can't imagine a point where I would fundamentally get tired of life.

There is a whole world to explore, not just to see, but to understand, and beyond. And I do not except the whole "what about when you have done/experienced everything?" premis, because the universe, and even our little world is changing and creating all the time, producing new things to see and offering up new experiences.

Plus, I want a an unimaginably huge, Scrooge McDuck style pile of money, and my rather competitive nature would demand it be bigger than anyone elses so i would imagine it might take me a few hundred years before I had even climbed that ladder and looked to move on to something else.

Yeah, Magneto has been wasting his life on cheap parlour tricks.

space/time continuum manipulation.

think about it. prince of persia-style time manipulation meets teleportation and time travel; all covered under one package with a fancy name.

I would probably take Telekinesis and Controllable Intangibility. The ability to move things with my mind and walk through walls and such would be interesting.

Get into a fight, simply turn intangible and let them tire themselves out. Or just lift them into the air and toss them somewhere, either way is a win for me.

I want Bob's Alchemy Ability from Heroes. The power to turn things I touch into gold (on command, not the Kind Midas ability where it's just EVERYTHING I touch)

It might not be the coolest crime fighting power, but I'd never have to worry about money, live a comfortable life.

It's an unusual super power, but one I'd be pretty darn happy with.

You can tell a surprising amount about a person based on what they said they would do with powers. Some of you scare me a bit.

I would want electric powers. That shit would be off the chain.

Telekinesis

Being able to control just about anything by looking in it's general direction seems like a fun ability to have
