So, superpowers. I'm sure most of you want them, and so do I. Some of them save a ton of time in otherwise tough work, while some can be used to help people and feel like a superhero.
But, like any good superpower movie or game, there are limits to superpowers, and superheroes have weaknesses. For example, Cole MacGrath from the inFAMOUS series has electric superpowers. He can be beaten by forcing him to run out of power (like a battery), or using water.
Therefore, I will impose my own limits to the superpowers I can have. For example, I can only have one superpower at a time.
So here are the superpowers I want, from least to most preferred:
Any Superpower Not on This List
I don't want to copy unique superheroes like Spider-Man. But web-swinging is still crazy fun.
Some non-unique superpowers are either not very useful in everyday life (like super strength because I don't need to lift in my dream job of video game development), or too powerful/godlike (like magically creating money out of thin air).
Oh, by the way, sorry player4709, but I find blinking/teleportation to be an OP "upgrade" of super speed.

Super Speed and Stamina
Real-life running is slow and tiring, and I don't always get to ride a bike.
Plus, I am eco-friendly, so I dislike using motor vehicles.
Not only will super speed help me to get to destinations faster, but it can also help me dodge attacks.
Catch: I can only use it when exposed to sunlight.
Psychic Powers
Knowing exactly what people are thinking without forcing them to reveal their thoughts helps me adapt to situations.
Does the game reviewer want a casual game with a powerful story? I'll give it to them.
How do I make MandJTV hire me a guest voice actor at Pokémon Talk without asking him? Know exactly what kind of fan service he wants.
Curious-sounding footsteps approaching? It could be a customer at my family store whose order I can give before they can even speak.
Enemy soldiers in Annihilation planning a full-force attack? Hit their base back while they're not looking.
Does the exam moderator know the answers to a multiple-choice exam? I can read his mind without moving my eyes away from my paper.
Random person with ill intent? Save the day before the crime gets committed.
Catch: I can only use it on people who are 100 m away from me. Also, I can't see the future.
Invisibility
I HATE stealth in real life because I usually get detected.
Invisibility also helps me get out of embarrassing situations where I don't want others to see my stupid embarrassed face.

Catch: Like in The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book by Jeff Kinney, I can only be invisible for 10 seconds, except for me, I'd limit it to once per day.
Healing
Probably the most helpful and least "bad" superpower unless I heal the bad guys.
Besides, I don't like seeing people get hurt, and when I do, I feel guilty of not saving the day.
Also, I find biology to be very complicated, so I don't want to be a doctor.
(I am already fast and strong in real life, so I can still fight the bad guys.)
Catch: I hurt myself a little when healing. Just please don't tell me I have to kill myself to cure someone else's disease.
