What would be the most beneficial superpower?

Time travel is a good choice for a "superpower". Although people say that you can disrupt the time-space continuum and destroy the universe, there's a new theory of time travel that makes the possibility of time travel real. This theory states that when one travels into a different time, they aren't just going to another time, they are actually traveling to another universe. So even if one kills his/her own grandfather, it wouldn't affect that person because he/she created a new universe where it is possible for that to happen, while the first universe that the person was in is still unaffected. Kind of confusing, but it can happen.

People can also argue that you can teleport to other universes and worlds. It's not untrue, teleportation is the "movement of objects or elementary particles from one place to another, more or less instantaneously, without traveling through space." (taken from Google definitions). Without traveling through space. So that must mean some kind of wormhole or portal is opened from that point where the teleporter is standing to the place where the teleporter wants to go. So why not open a portal to another dimension, or create a wormhole to another universe?

I won't go as far into it as to say that you can teleport (using the wormhole/portal theory) to another time as well, because wormholes DO have the capability to do that. Then it's basically saying the same thing as time travel.

Another aspect of time travel and teleportation comes to mind. What if you can master it to such a degree that you can stop time in one area, accelerate time in another, slow it down in another, and etc.?
What if you can teleport objects, not only yourself, and actually fly (by teleporting yourself very quickly an inch or two ahead of yourself, thereby "floating" in the air and "flying" to the place you want to go, although if you can teleport there's no need)?

Also, things such as super strength, super speed, freezing capabilities, premonitions aren't needed with teleportation and time travel. So if you choose either one, they essentially do the same thing, but just with different methods.

That's the common phrase and I stand by it. If it's always easier to make decisions after the fact, the ability to reverse those would prove the most beneficial.

Although this hinges on the ability to act quickly in mortal situations.

Beneficial? As far as crimefighting or daily life?

Daily life, I'd have to go with flying. Although it does require you bundle up a little more than otherwise, and no more wearing skirts.

As far as crimefighting goes, I'd go with telepathy, with some caveats. You could read opponent's moves before they made them, pinpoint where someone is just by thinking about them and isolating their brainwaves, and depending on your power set and how well you can train, you could make people think they're hearing things, or seeing things. Telepathy is a big, big power.

However, if I were a superhero, I'd want to be like Negative Man/Woman from the Doom Patrol. I love the idea of going out of body to fight evil. I think I wouldn't want Negative Man's distance limitation, though, and it'd be cool to be able to change forms. (Like have a hand turn into a mace or hammer.)

I think we all have a superpower, and it's the best one too. It's the power to be kind and loving and to be humble and forgiving. The problem is we don't always use it. I'd take those powers over teleportation and time travel any day.

Because we all have that dead relative that we want to meet/spend time with, and because there are so many cool events in history that I would die to be a part of.

So Neeru mentioned how time travel is a sticky situation and that a person can change what was supposed to happen. So therefore one would have to believe that everything is predetermined. In that case, it can be said that time travel was supposed to be discovered, and everything a person changes was supposed to be changed, and things still happen the way they were supposed to happen...kind of. Plus, I like the idea of time travel, because you still learn from the mistakes you make, but you can go back and fix them.

Because of the many things I do, I would prefer super strength. No one would ever disrespect you. I grew up loving comics like the Hulk, and loving Colossus in X-Men because of their great strength. Have you ever seen the way Hulk moves? He can jump so far, screw teleportation! He jumped from island to island to crtoss the Pacific! Take that, WWII Air Force!

I wouldn't want to mess with time travel...it's a sticky situation. Too risky really, with all that stuff we see in the BTTF movies. But teleportation, now that's the super power to go with. What? You're doing spring break in the bahamas? Great, gimme half a second to meet you there. There's a kick ass Coldplay concert in London? Boom, backstage passes! Long Distance relationship becoming too hard, BAM visiting your partner who lives three thousand miles away is as simple as...clicking our heels...or blinking...or however you activate teleportation...

You bring up good points Suhail, and while very exciting and convincing in theory, I can't help but think of the more serious pragmatic consequences that come with time travel (rent all the Back to the Futures over break :) What if you were meant to get that bad grade in math (not that you or I would ever know what that feels like, right? heh jk), because the math tutor you eventually end up getting turns out to be the woman you're supposed to fall in love with and marry...? Messing with time is a sticky situation, though I still concur, it IS a tempting one for the uninformed..

(I bet you'll think twice before calling the superpower of my dreams 'simplistic' again eh :)

Reading minds. I feel like conflicts are escalated, your mind is tormented, hours are dissipated, misapprehensions exist at a much higher degree etc etc- all because you have no idea what that other person is thinking. Granted, one can argue that ignorance is bliss- and that reading minds would if anything escalate the aforementioned to an even greater extent.. that's why I suppose it's fortunate that superpowers are unattainable, if anything..
