Vampirism, Divine Powers and Magic. These three pretty much give you every other power on this list. You are essentially God and need only keep the human race alive so you can feed off their blood.

Doesn't divine powers mean you can get anything on that list?
Its weird that not a lot of people decided to choose it.

Being a necromancing immortal weathercontroller sounds fun...
Shape shifting, teleportation, and insanely rich
Submariner necromancy size manipulation. Hoards of tiny zombie whales and giant zombie plankton.
Immortal, invulnerable, teleportation
Now I can do whatever I want without having to worry about consequences.
I picked teleportation because I'd hate for example if somehow someone launched me into a sun or black hole and there was nothing I could do forever.
Being immortal an invulnerable I assume I'd be able to get rich very easily.
I also assume the following:
- immortal mean that you don't die of old age or sickness
- invulnerable still ages (counter with immortal)
- divine is not godlike but jesuslike. Can perform miracles or even come back to life but has limited power. Not immortal, not invulnerable

Most of the powers are achievable with just intellect and magic. The third power to choose is immortality because most of the sci fi or magical immortality has a catch.
Feral. Radioactive. Submariner.
Sealab 2021.
Guys you don't even eye siphon abilities? It's the pro strat
I figure that and attractiveness will enable you to borrow any other ability you need.
Anyone who is planning shenanigans and doesn't take phasing or teleportation is asking for it. Sooner or later some government entity or another is going to try to put you in some kind of prison and you'd better have an escape card. Especially if you also take immortality. If you're immortal and some asshole Cask of Amontillados you, you're going to be pissed off about it forever.
And is "divine powers" just a free combo deal of magic, invisibility, and immortality?
If you take immortality, you also probably need to take healing. Being mortally wounded and unable to die sounds, uh, bad.
See. I thought "immortal" was "non-ageing" and impervious to cancer and Alzheimer's, etc. I took Healing because I felt it closed the injury loophole.
Of course teleport because life may not be too short but I'm still going to mars and I don't have to learn the katana. #thereCanBeOnlyOne
I feel 'Magic' is able to cover a lot of these....
Anyway
Immortality, Insanely Rich, Magic.
I will then become a supervillainous evil wizard. Sorry-not-sorry.
Immortal, invulnerable, teleport. I'm sure the super rich I can acquire in a lifetime or two in 1 hour deliveries. Cargo ship from U.S. to Australia in an hour, got you. Rich people need organ transplants? Poof.
Military needs someone to take someone out? Poof. A few contracts and now your stacking bank accounts.
Need more rules, does magic cover teleportation?
I don't see why not, but it would depend. Wizards can separate but need to know the location they are going too, so pick your own universe rules haha
Immortal, invulnerable, teleport
Accidentally teleport into deep space. Fuck

its just self teleportation so you'll have to do it by the arm load
There is no adjectives with teleport lol, could teleport objects without yourself as well using the given information.
Real world Santa Claus teleporting objects under everyone's Christmas tree if you got rich enough. Prop up entire economies off by building presents for holidays on man made islands of renewable trees etc

Still pretty efficient if they also hit the gym and make their arms/back strong.
They carry a lot less than a vehicle, but the travel time is instant.

Well, immortality and invulnerability are a definite to deal with some existential dread.
Then I suppose insanely rich because you're going to need a lot of money to make investments on a forever time scale.
I feel like teleportation gets you an ability that makes money just fine. Hell, just invulnerability makes you valuable for cleaning up nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima.

If I'm a plural system do we get to pick 3 for each of us? :)
If it's one set for everyone, I'm going with Shapeshifting, Healing, and the third kind of depends on how this stuff works.
Shapeshifting I'd take even if I was only allowed one power. I'd finally have a body that fits. Several of them, in fact. Some might even be human. We could swap between us physically, and turning into stuff for a while just sounds fun.
Healing because if I don't pick it I'm eventually going to regret it. Shapeshifting might already let me fix any damage that isn't incapacitating or instantly lethal, but that only applies to my own body. I'd want to be able to help others, too.
For the third power... Magic could mean a lot of things, including many on this list. Maybe it's a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of deal, which I'd be fine with. A bunch of spells that cover a wide range of situations but aren't as strong as specializing in a single power.
Teleport is really appealing. Lots I can do with it if I can take people or things with me, or set up something long-range that doesn't require line of sight. If it also allows me to create permanent portals then we're really going to have fun.
Or I could take Invulnerability to remove that "incapacitating or instantly lethal" weakness and really lean into being some kind of unstoppable healer. Divine Powers? Depending on what that does, it could replace Healing while also giving a bunch of other benefits. Hell, if it lets me resurrect people too, and I also take Invulnerability, then I'm basically an emergency respawn point for the entire community.
I feel like immortality is always a monkey's paw.
Can we replace it with like... Negligible Senescence?
Assuming it's not a monkey's paw (since invulnerability is also there) then:
Immortality, teleportation (to escape capture), intellect.
Also wtf is Devine Power?
Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.
It's inevitable, it might be 10 years from now you'll get stuck under a mudslide and buried forever, but conscious.
In a billion years, you'll get stuck inside the expanding sun forever.
In a few trillion years you'll get stuck floating in the void of space forever as the universe expanded into nothingness.
Immortality needs some sort of way out, or else you'll eventually end up suffering forever (what's a trillion years to someone who will live for eternity?)
Immortality+invulnarability has to break physics somehow. Use that loophole to extract energy and build an entire civilization around yourself.
Be the immortal sun god of the endtimes.
Will probably be fun for a few trillion years.
Teleportation is also one of the options, so that solves the getting stuck somewhere problem. My concern is what immortality is like without also getting invulnerability...
Sure, but that just pushes back the timeline some. Even with immortality, invulnerability, and teleportation, you're still going to live forever floating in the void of space. There just isn't going to be anywhere to teleport TO after a few trillion years.
Unless you can teleport to other universes / realities

Radar sense, submariner and radiation. I'm about to go defend Greenland mortherfuckers!
Teleport - force field - healing
Pretty much nothing you couldn’t do and get away with it. Go anywhere and nobody could stop you. Healing seems redundant with force field, but I assume you’d have to turn off the force field to do some things which would leave you vulnerable.
Why doesn't "Divine Powers" include everything else? 🤷
"Divine Powers" means you can make anything Fabulous! with just a glance.
Hell yeah
