    Legit, in the real world, wolverine’s healing factor is the most useful. Other stuff is about tricks. His kind of healing means no cancer, no Alzheimer’s, no strokes, no heart attacks, nada. A long, healthy life free of disease of almost any kind.

    The only drawback is the semi-immortality. A long life watching others die would suck hard. It’s already bad enough with a regular life span.

      Wouldn’t you still age if you’re operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you’re suddenly aging rapidly.

        I wouldn’t care. I’d walk out into the world to go see stuff and maybe change some things. I wouldn’t stay still or build a life with those powers.

        Otherwise, you could look at Howard families by Heinlein for the solution. Which is also to move before people notice, but staying put for periods of time at a time.

    shapeshifting

    depending on how realistic you want to keep it the benefits go from “pretty nice” to “god amongst men” level:

    • backpain? just fix your back
    • toothache? grow new teeth
    • don’t feel like going to the hairdresser? shift into a different hairstyle
    • gender problems? forget HRT you can make hormones science doesn’t even know about
    • aging is no more (if you want)
    • donate all the blood you want! hell you can donate your heart if you find a doctor that doesn’t ask questions
    • mental fog getting you down? just fuckin change your brain. “is it still me after? don’t know don’t care now go revolutionize physics Einstein
    • grow a tail

    the possibilities are endless

    I’d take Wolverine’s healing powers. I have a few chronic injuries that I wrestle with, and it would be amazing to be free of pain. I’d also be able to be reckless again like I was when I sustained said injuries. It would also be pretty cool to smoke cigars, inhaling them the whole time, eat 10 pounds of bacon each week, and other generally deadly behaviors that could be quite enjoyable.

      Honestly this is a pretty good one. It’s basically the “any technology of sufficient complexity is indistinguishable from magic” answer. The Q Continuum were a weird mix of magic/super powers, and even demonstrated the ability to gift those abilities to others at will.

      It was just one line but I loved when someone told Q that he was a trickster god to a planet from how much he messed with them in the past.

      The implications of that. Ok, without the Marvel movies I highly doubt even 10% of the human race knows what Loki is about. Q was the trickster god for an entire planet. Billions of people knew the legend of Q. He must have been doing stuff to them for thousands of years all across their society. Take the most well known people in history there is still a big possibility that most people hadn’t heard of them a century or so ago.

      Q was bigger to them than Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, the Emperors of China, the Monarch of the UK, Plato, and Santa combined to this species.

    Either Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones, or if I can cheat a little, Legion’s powers in Legion on FX. He sort of has multiple but they can all basically be chalked up to “mind powers” if we’re being loose with it.

    For the record I’m not saying I want to be like Killgrave, he’s a disgusting small monster, but his abilities are insane. Hard to resist something like that.

    As for Legion’s, I mean I’d effectively be a god. Hard to pass that up, tho maybe not if it comes bundled with the schizophrenia.

        My other concern is at what point do you withdraw from society because your age doesn’t match your appearance?

        Imagine going to get a passport or driver’s license and saying I was born in 1895 but my face says I was born in 1985.
