Yeah, though about that after making this. Originally I was thinking of how people want to freeze themselves to skip long waiting times. Still, Skipping boring stuff would be pretty awesome.RadiusXd said:

Yeah, pretty much this. I'd just become a genius and make heaps of money then retire to the bahamas.vashthblackseed said:
The ability to communicate with cats/kittens and control them to do my bidding, that would be so awesome!
The ability to have the absolute perfect driving conditions (regardless of vehicle). Never run out of gas/battery, never need the car repaired, never get stuck in traffic, never get pulled over, never run into red lights. All of that would be freaking fantastic.
...And then I get a pilot's license.

The Power to overhear when people are talking or thinking about me.
That would be dead handy. No guess work regarding who likes and doesn't like you.

The power to set 'save points' in my life such that if I wished consciously to, became unable to wish consciously to (e.g. permanent coma/stroke/brain damage etc) or died, I could rewind my life to that point with the full knowledge of what happened (well, from my perspective). This of course could be very useful ala Groundhog Day, acting as a kind of precognition.
Though of course it'd be nice to be able erase/partially erase these memories if something truly shocking occurs.

I raise you shapeshifting! I may not be allowed to use it to fight/commit crimes, but extra strength for moving stuff? Yes please! Extendo arms for reaching? Yup! Have the preferred body type for a potential mate (should I ever want to have sex)? Yup!Android2137 said:
I guess it depends on what the 'line in the sand' limitations are. I mean, could I use shapeshifting to make muscle and then fight? Or can I use my shapeshifting to make myself susceptible to muscle gain, and then use that? Or do I need to put on muscle in my current form and fight like that? I mean, if you can shapeshift, then isn't everything you are an extension of your power? So does it just mean that you can't fight ever, or does it mean that you can't shapeshift after the fight begins, or to prepare for the fight, so I could shapeshift into a dragon, fly around, get into a fight, and then fight as a dragon?
I mean, if you can shapeshift, then you have no static shape, so you are whatever you make yourself. So if I shapeshift into someone twice my height, then I am that 'someone'. Shapeshifting is the process, not the end result, so if you were to isolate a crime/fight as an 'event' (starting with 'preparing for it', followed by 'the actual thing', and finished with 'the conclusion/clean-up') then does that mean I can't shapeshift mid-fight/crime, or deliberately shapeshift to be better suited towards a fight I am entering into? Can I only shapeshift after the entirety of the event, so if I committed a crime, I couldn't shapeshift to hide my identity?
This limitations thing does not work well with shapeshifting, because either it just doesn't work, or it is more practical than the OP wants it to be.
The ability to imitate any voice. Makes is basically useless in fighting/commiting crime but it helps me get chicks, money and fame

I'd want the ability to see English subtitles whenever someone speaks another language so I can understand what they are saying.
