I've always been partial to telekinesis, but lately I've been thinking that shapeshifting would be really cool, so now I'm not sure which one to go with.

What about you, fellow friendly forum dwellers?

instant transportation/teleportation + ability to live in vacuum + infinite life span. No idea on what mechanism the teleportation would work.

Either taking quantum principles and scaling it up to the macro level (basically allowing large masses to probabilistically appear elsewhere), or somehow surpassing the speed of light, or teleportation via entanglement, but then the whole question of consciousness comes up if you're effectively duplicating yourself and deleting the old copy. Are you still you?

Light speed+ travel sucks in that upon return home, everyone you knew is dead or earth/solar system could actually be gone.

Downsides not withstanding, it'd be awesome to finally explore the universe.

Hmm, I suck at these questions because I instantly think of all the limitations of the superpower haha. You'd almost need a 'collection' of superpowers to effectively exercise any given one as intended without any ill side effects.
