Shapeshifting for sure. Don't even need to be human, id totally try being an amorphous sentient blob for a bit. Joints cant hurt if you don't have joints!

The condition is you can't turn it off.
Your body now fluctuates between recognizable and being an incongruent mess of wings, scales, claws, fins, fur and skin.
I hope the shape shifting is painless.
hmmmm, "plot armor" sounds nice to be always on.
I am incredibly resilient.
The doctors will have to find a chemist to even do surgery
I'll take Mr. Manhattan's power set for 500, Alex. Oh yeah, its naked time.
You just wanna be blue.
For some reason I can't see this image, but I'm betting it's FΓΌnke
Peter Funke? The famous anal-rapist?
Teleport. Its always on, so I'm just flickering on the spot constantly so fast that its only visible on some cameras.
At the same time this gives me the seeming ability to fly at will, be anywhere, and potentially float (destructively) through walls.
I would choose to have the power to turn off superpowers and then I'd turn off my superpower.
What if breathing in only is your superpower

Magneto's power set could be very useful and easy to manage. Magnets can certainly be made stronger and weaker. He/I would need to build up to any dangerous level of magnetic power, so meditation before sleep would be clutch. Bullet-proof, flight, what amounts to telekinesis, and the ability to manifest any metallic object is fairly incredible, yet unobtrusive.
Also, Forge's power set would be pretty nice to have. Can engineer, build, fix, and invent literally anything. Solve any technological problem at will. The photocopier would never be broken. Wait, does anyone still use a photocopier? The only thing that'd be annoying is becoming everyone's IT department.
Jamie Madrox is also a great contender. Instant dupes of myself at will (and, yes, magically, they come with clothes).
These are my answers.
And canonically if a dupe holds an item, and you hit them you get another of the same. So buy gold bars and keep on going to the pawn shop
Easy: Max out luck. Literally no downsides
You luckily have an abbreviation in your DNA that means your tellemeres don't shorten. You can't age. You reach 87000 years old. Humans have gone extinct. You are trapped alone on a dead earth. You try to shoot yourself but the gun misfires. You jump off w cliff, but a sudden updraft catches you and you land safely. In this multiverse, luck is now objective.

Luck is not an infinite resource, meaning that when ever you get lucky, somebody else won't. So you'll actively will siphon luck from people around you. Good luck with the loneliness, no pun intended
Invisibility
Iβd be able to slam dunk on anyone who guarded me. People would be like, βWonβt this guy stop dunking on people?β Canβt. I wished on a monkey paw.
NBA 2K26 would have to rewrite the game engine like when EA had to introduce βvision conesβ to Madden so Michael Vick wasnβt better than Payton Manning.
That is easy: super intelligence
Great way to feel lonely and isolated! It's already an issue "gifted" folk struggle with, and the more "gifted" you are, the more isolated you tend to be
Not if you learn to understand the people around you, and their limitations, and to anticipate and work around them with compassion and understanding.
Having no to few peers is isolating no matter how compassionate you are.

You are too smart and realize how fucked up the world is and become severely depressed.
