Power to change the reality just by imagination. This will probably feel like a cheat code

I've always loved the gadgeteer/super-genius trope. Iron Man, the Tinker types from Worm, Girl Genius's Sparks, etc. I always found something appealing to the idea that they can do anything eventually, but they have to work their way to it - they have to think, put in effort, adapt to pitfalls, then get an awesome payoff.

They all seem to have something they specialize in too; so for a specialty, I'll go for movement enhancements. Flight packs, powered exoskeletons, custom vehicles, etc.

Anything I draw, becomes real.

The ability to convince people even the hardliners.

I feel like what some of you guys miss. Here is understanding what makes life fun. Certain superpowers would make life criminally boring and the goal would be to get power so that you can do what you want with your life, try different things out, be safe and secure, but still have a life that has meaning.

If you are too overpowered or have things that allow you to see way past what being human is, then you'd be stuck all alone looking at humans that look like ants to you and you'd be bored out of your skull. I kind of feel like that's what Dr. Manhattan was except I think the reality would be worse.

You have to look at what phase two of this super power would be. I kind of like the save point one or something that gives you control to do what you want, but you still have to deal with the consequences. That way you gain a lot of control over your life, but you still have to live it with consequences. It would kind of be like winning the lottery. It would be turning the video game on easy mode, but not making it so easy you don't want to play.

To know how my actions will affect the future and the brainpower to process the shear endless possibilities. The longer the time frame is the more powerful it gets.

Could go a bit like a butterfly effect: I know if I get a croissant this morning the store will run out and the assistant of some hedge fond guy won't be able to get him one. So, he's grumpy all day and crashes the marked.

More direct: I know how I have to throw the dice to win at the casino, which numbers I have to pick for roulette or the lottery.

Wandering into Fort Nox because I know when and where the guards are.

Brute forcing every password with the first try.

Knowing basically everything because, let's say the time frame is a week, there's a future in which I choose to read any one book, article or paper in that time and I know what's is in it. Everything not written I can get out of people. Get it through asking them, drug, seduce, or torture them without actually doing any of it because it's enough that there's a future where I could do that. Of cause I could just guess and see in which future I was correct.

With a timeframe of a year I could tell scientist what they would have achieved in that year with unlimited funding and leapfrog any discovery that way. Which could get continued ad nauseam, day one I tell them what they would have achieved after a year, day two I tell them what they would have achieved after a year with the knowledge of day one, etc.

Would make for a very boring super hero movie though. Solving all the problems before anyone even knew that there's one. Dispose all the problematic world leaders without getting caught and pulling all the money out of the stock market to solve world hunger.

In order of preference:

1. Immortality
2. Shapeshifting
3. The ability to look at something and immediately know what it is and what it's worth (would make flea market and thrift store visits a lot more efficient)

Super Siri that can answer any questions.

"How do I build a time machine?"

"Is there any hidden treasure around here?"

"How do I make myself immortal?"

Being able to stop time. Unlimited sleep.

The power to instantly, constantly, automatically, and effortlessly transmute the bone marrow of every single individual on Earth who is being harmful to humanity's progress and wellbeing (fascists, billionaires, global warming denialists, mimes, and so on) into molten lead.

Kira-esque powers, easily.

Shapeshifter: it’s broken as hell if you take it to the molecular level. Shapeshift into something that can fly, into a very thin transparent film on the ceiling of a room, into something which can withstand great temperatures or bullets, hell, you can even shapeshift into something that photosynthesizes.

I don't want to be truly immortal, but if I could be like I am now for a few hundred years that would be pretty cool.

Complete read/write access to the mind of anyone I'm aware of, and anyone aware of me.

I'd use it to have a huge harem that everyone is fine with.

I think a lot of folks who say they wish they could be invisible don't realize how horrible it'd actually be without secondary superpowers. The reason you don't currently fall over and you're able to grab what you're looking at is because you can see your own body and gain a sense of direction. But if you're invisible... how do you know where your feet are going to land exactly? How do you know how far your arm is from that book you're trying to pick up?

It'd be pretty hellish to constantly trip over yourself and not be able to balance yourself at all! This kind of caveat applies to a lot of superpowers, like super strength. Sure, you're strong enough to lift that car, but your bones and flesh aren't. They'll be crushed under the weight and you'll have a big problem, lol.

That said... superpower? I'll go with omnipotence. It's always my answer to any "if you could have X, what would it be?", omnipotence!! It's basically EVERYTHING that I could ever possibly want packed into one. Imagine the sort of life you could have. The sort of freedom. What could you do, create, see, experience, feel. I do daydream about it more than I should.

Ending all conflicts in the world with one command

A healing touch.

To never have to worry about the basic necessities of life 🥹

Shapeshifting so I can impersonate people. I love Mystique in the X-men.

In order of preference:

The ability to travel through time (and change things) as I wish, and to also have a basic understanding the way those changes will impact the (relative to the time I am currently in) future. None of that "Earth's in the wrong place, you die in the vacuum of space" bullshit.

The ability to bring people back from the dead and have them be healthy and happy

Shape shifting
