Exact change. Whether I want to buy a pack of gum or an aircraft carrier, the exact amount of money I need appears in my pocket whenever I make a purchase.

The more I think about it, the more I think the parkING thing is a remarkable idea.

I like it. I'd add that if it's a metered spot, the meter always has a full amount of time on it.

I can't decide. I already seem to be immortal. Invulnerability would be handy, I suppose. Maybe ... the ability to teleport to a destination along with anything I'm touching. That would be nice. Going on vacation? Teleport Herself to the hotel, zip home for the luggage. It would eliminate having someone come in to feed the cat and bring in the mail, too.

Why even book a hotel? Teleport somewhere nice, see the sights, whatever, teleport back home at the end of the day. No need to pack.

True, true, but sometimes it's nice to get away. For daytrips, though, yeah, you could see pretty much anywhere. *pours brain bleach in liberal quantities to eradicate images of the Queen's boudoire*

I mean.. how do you get out in the morning..

I'm female, and I still don't know what all those products are supposed to do other than make money for the company that produced them.

An important lesson for teleporters is no doubt how to be sure you'll arrive on the right side of the door.

Teleportation, with the ability to transport with me whatever my hands are touching or whatever's on my person.

Flight. I've always loved the power of flight. Wouldn't it be cool to just fly to where ever you wanna go? You'd be skipping all the traffic jams, and you could go as fast as you want without getting pulled over for speeding. Sure, the same could be said for super speed, but with super speed you'd have to dodge everything and exert more energy just to get to your destination.

I'd say either shapeshifting, for various reasons, some of which involve pranking the living daylights out of people, a power based specifically around being able to complete boring/menial tasks instantly, or maybe omnilingualism.

Such a tough decision...

Maybe the power to always make the right decision would be nice.

Great, now that's four choices I can't decide between.

Look on the bright side. You get to not have done the things I'd do to people.

For me I would be a person who controls sound waves I produce and can use those sound waves to affect people's minds. I would mostly do this through things like making music and singing, though I could also dampen or magnify sound waves. This would occur regardless of the medium the sound is traveling through so earplugs and the such wouldn't exactly do much. The reason I would use song mainly because I would have a stutter, which gets in the way of my abilities. My abilities could be used to the good or the bad, where I can help people overcome there own mental scaring like ptsd, but I could also use it to brainwash people to do what I want.

Bug control.

Different universe. Even professor x uses the term mutant.

If I were a mutant, I would like to be 50 meters tall, just like this poor chap General Valentijn here! It would be freakishly tall, sure, and you might have to devour a thousand kilograms of food to survive, but the view sure is nice!

If not, I'll settle for immortality. It is a chilling thought to drift in the cold, dead universe for so long, but still, think of the parallel universes (only if they exist). Actually, drifting alone in space is kinda boring. But I would still love that immortality.

50 meters? You'd kill yourself from all the people going, "How's the weather up there?"

Such heresy from a supposedly loyal DC fan I cannot stomach.

Those of more refined tongues will use the term "metahuman" rather than speaking the crude patois of the competition.

I love patois! You get some of those little toast things and maybe some of those tiny pickles, a nice glass of wine ... lovely!
