I would ultimately end up having 10% of the population of earth, being related to me.
I often thought that the power of immortality would be pretty good. But imagine never being able to die and living forever. The amount of suffering you would go through like having a relationship in which they would die, you'd find someone else, they'd die etc. It'd be fun in the short term but not in the long run.
Teleportation. I could travel the world without the boundary of money being involved.
Stop time would be cool but I think you'd end up ruining all of existence.
But being immortal doesn't mean you would be able to
remember all the course of your life. Because, even if your body doesn't change at all, your memory works the same way any memory does. An old man with 80 years or more usually forgets some moments of his life, as well as remembers stuff that was forgotten maybe decades before. And it all might get mixed up and turning into confusion. As an immortal man starts surpassing human life expectacy, I imagine a similar effect would happen. So many events and so many people would come and go that eventually many important things would just be lost. Only the most truly remarkable events and persons would remain. It's like a journal becoming a history book.

Anyway, I guess my superpower would be being awesome without need of superpowers, only using intelligence, charisma and plain badassery to get things done. Like Tyrion Lannister. But without the size and beauty issues.
Also, be as powerful as Mr. Manhattan.
