Sorry to take this to a dark place, but I'd have to say the ability to cause people to die in a way of my choosing, just by thinking it.
I would like to having healing powers of some kind.
Teleportation for sure.
shield projection, especially adding "layers" to reinforce it, plus the ability to use that shield to cloak and absorb energy and redirct(like naraku), and use it to change form into "energy weapons", other than that another one is reality warping, dimensional manipulation, or pocket dimension creation(which absorption power also complements), and shielding thoughts from telepaths.
is reality and dimensional warping, plus other various abilities associated with it.
By now? To have peace of mind.
Being able to fly.
Telekinesis.
Incredibly underrated power. It's probably the most OP and versatile power someone can have.
Time manipulation, easy! I have so many projects and my work schedule is all over the place.
Immortality, I'll get around to whatever I need to eventually.
In order of preference:
The ability to travel through time (and change things) as I wish, and to also have a basic understanding the way those changes will impact the (relative to the time I am currently in) future. None of that "Earth's in the wrong place, you die in the vacuum of space" bullshit.
The ability to bring people back from the dead and have them be healthy and happy

Being able to manipulate time in any way I like: make time go faster, slower, backwards and stopping time. Even time travel, though that's arguably a different superpower, but IMO it still falls under manipulating time.
I don't think I can ask for immortality or close to it since I already had kids, so I would like a magic purse - the ability to pull whatever I need out of a pocket universe and store whatever I need there. Or if I can't have the stuff, then to be able to create space where it doesn't exist at least, to store things in and pull them out. I would probably use it for crime, yes. But also just so much easier if I can always only get what I am reaching for, but don't have to organize or store it IRL. Like having stuff without having stuff.
