Ahhh. One of the great philosophical questions of stoners who read comic books. For some reason, I had never considered the sexual benefits of Plastic Man. A compelling argument. I would probably choose invisibility. I could gain access to places off limits to me and profit from it. Althought telekinesis would be great for getting beers from the fridge.
Flying at high speed! Wheeee! Great for getting to work, would impress my date and in my space time, I could do the rush hour traffic reports and work for a messenger service.

Teleportation ala Snapper Carr.
This guy has a range of several thousand km, and is able to 'port several tons with him, and never seems winded when he does. I could put NASA out of business. Or open a new delivery system. “When it absolutely has to be there right now!” I bet I could make a very comfortable living. And that is without porting into bank vaults or other restricted areas.
A friend of mine (who not only reads comics but WRITES them) posed this question just the other day. His choice was
Omnipotence.
Ok, it doesn’t fit the rules here but I still think it’s a good choice.
Assuming I could make my camera invisible and then visible again later, I’d go with invisibility. I’d be the worlds greatest photographer. (Since I am a photographer and have little interest in thwarting crime.)
Being able to turn into a penguin. Just THINK of the comdy potential of that. A guy gets into a lift and theres someone already in there. A few mins later the first guy looks to his side and sees a penguin. Looks again, and theres a normal bloke there, reading the paper. This could keep me amused for hours.
ultrafilter and simetra have already alluded to Dave’s top10. I thought I was going to be clever and pipe in with “ability to calm jittery squirrels”. I’d settle for invisibility.
