Which of these superpowers have the most appeal to you?

IMO, they all have great appeal to me, but I pick invisibility.

Super speed.

So I can have more time for myself and myself alone -- than someone else's or even "myself" in a sense of need than want.

I could care less what variant and what possible side effects.
If I want to live this life, at least more of my own terms than whatever.

Shapeshifting; if I lived in the Marvel world, I would love to have the same power as Mercury from the X-Men (her creators stated she can do potentially the same things as T-1000 from Terminator 2).

I'd like to be able to shift shape into Om Nom, my little pea.

Shapeshifting. Whether it was the ability to change into anything like the Pokemon Zoroark, or the same thing every time like a werewolf, it would be so cool either way.

Shapeshifting.

I don't suppose I could exchange it for something like mind-reading or mind-control or omniscience...

Heck...even a good memory would be a useful upgrade.

I think though that the better option would be the ability of mind-reading, especially if it would entail the ability of mind-control :twisted:

IMO, it would be great for espionage especially in regards to the current state of global politics.

When I was eight to eleven, I would have said shapeshifting. Specifically, a werewolf. I sometimes wonder what that says about me when I was a kid?

From maybe twelve and onward, invisibility.

True but generally it would be a very useful ability to have even without its being used by us for espionage - because I would always know what others are thinking about. I would use it to predict the others' next steps - I would generally have an advantage over them. I would know their secrets, even those smaller ones. A VERY useful gift :)

But if I was going to choose, I would choose this gift: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Grace_La ... (Earth-616

Yesterday, I maneged to convince some person who makes short Youtube films on the X-Men characters, to make a similar film on Sunset Grace :mrgreen:

My NT sister says mind control, telepathy or teleportation.

She has a strong hatred of men, therefore she would be able to open portals, throw all the men she comes across in them, close them and walk away without a care in the world.
