For me, it’d probably be teleportation. The possibilities with teleportation are basically limitless.
- Building’s on fire? Teleport in, grab the people inside, and teleport out. Easy.
- Getting your butt kicked by a supervillain? Teleport to a gun shop, grab some weapons, and teleport back for round 2.
- Alternatively, just grab your opponent, teleport in front of a moving train or something, let go of your opponent, and teleport away.
- Need to defuse a bomb? No need! Just teleport the bomb to the middle of the desert. Never worry about cutting the wrong wire again!
- Want to go to a Taylor Swift concert, but you overslept? You guessed it: just teleport! You don’t even need to buy a ticket!
Admittedly, stopping time is another very useful power, but teleportation is just really hard to beat. What say you?
Instantaneous learning.
Want to play the sax? Just pick it up.
Want to cook? Just pick up a knife.
Want to draw? Just pick up a pencil.
A complete understanding of genetics and manipulation as a technology, with the social connections to make it useful to everyone without capitalist exploitation.
-
I’m not a god, yet I can extend the lives of everyone including myself, maybe indefinitely
-
I can eradicate all diseases. Alter probable animal behavior, or entire ecosystems.
-
I can create a new era of lab grown organic technology that runs from photosynthesis or caloric intake. A computer could be a synthetic brain like structure with similar organic based power requirements.
-
My super power makes humans a galactic species as I can solve all problems related to time, hibernation, radiation, and a sustainable ecosystem.
-
Within a few decades, we would be contemplating the furthest galaxies that could be reached realistically with hibernation ships.

Teleportation would be so dangerous. The chancers are too high that you’d teleport into something: a wall, table, chair, etc.
