If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? (lemmy.sascamooch.com)

For me, it'd probably be teleportation. The possibilities with teleportation are basically limitless.

Building's on fire? Teleport in, grab the people inside, and teleport out. Easy.
Getting your butt kicked by a supervillain? Teleport to a gun shop, grab some weapons, and teleport back for round 2.
- Alternatively, just grab your opponent, teleport in front of a moving train or something, let go of your opponent, and teleport away.
Need to defuse a bomb? No need! Just teleport the bomb to the middle of the desert. Never worry about cutting the wrong wire again!
Want to go to a Taylor Swift concert, but you overslept? You guessed it: just teleport! You don't even need to buy a ticket!

Admittedly, stopping time is another very useful power, but teleportation is just really hard to beat. What say you?

You nailed my top two. Teleportation would make travel super easy and would be the only thing that could get me back to an office for work - got to keep my day job so people don't get suspicious of my powers right? Stopping time is also cool (for extra sleep I swear!) but with the obvious caveat that it's not "all molecules freeze and you can't breathe and you die" style time stoppage but the more sci-fi "you can still move around and do stuff, time just doesn't pass" kind.
