"Attractive Female", "Divine Power" ~~because what power doesn't fall under that~~, and "Insanely Rich."
Teleport, invisibility, and psionic as long as that includes mind reading.
Magic Feral Submariners will take over the world one day.
Attractive female, insanely rich, and teleport. I'll have a gf, have money to finance my 1000 hobbies and help others, and never have to stand an hour in a crowded bus trying to hold in a fart again.
I think Insanely Rich means that you're actually an insane guy called Rich
I think Attractive female means you become an attractive female, so the genie got you.
Oh no, you got me, genie! hahaha, definitely didn't want this, you got me so good π

I already have autism, PTSD and depression. I don't know if I can handle more.
I'll take Divine Powers. I think the rest will then sort out by itself.
I'm trying to work out what that is. The ability to, uh, do everything on that list? If so, I will also take 3 scoops please.
You know, standard stuff like food transmutation, turning into a swan to get laid and having fire come out your mouth when you get mad.
Maybe it comes with the burden of cosmic knowledge, so all the fun human-level stuff doesn't seem worth doing
Bah, thanks to my years as a shut-in tech dweeb I already have lots of Gadgets, a Feral appearance, and I Super Smell.
Size manipulation, stamina and blast power.
F-for for fighting crime, r-right?

Immortality, invulnerability, and shape shifter to not attract too much attention (hide)
All choices depend on the degree of the power. How much can you lift with telekinesis and how dexterous is? Is magic cantrips, level 9 spells, or something even more arcane? To what level are the speed and strength "super"? Are you a "Captain America" super human or Superman?
Thankfully, my constant favorites are pretty definite: invulnerability and immortality.
What even is "psychic" and how is meaningfully different from "telekinesis" and "telepathy"? Is it bundling all the other -kineses? Yeah, I'm giving it too much thought but personally I don't like discussions based entirely on everyone not having enough information.
Yeah it would be interesting to know the limits. Mine would be SuperSight+Teleport, with the understanding that I'm able to perceive time very slowly at will and maybe see very far if I want to. Also, sneezing wouldn't trigger a teleport.
I don't want any Saiki-K situations where I'm unable to be attracted to people because I can only see through their skin by default

Depending on which deity we're talking, "divine powers" is a no-brainer. Besides that: Immortality, invincibility, siphon powers. Use the time I have (i.e. all of it) to learn unarmed combat and weapon master, and become insanely rich and very intelligent, then invent implants and a powersuit (why would anyone pick those if they're a freebie with immortality), then wait around for others who have picked different powers and siphon off their powers. Since I'm invincible, I can also swallow some plutonium and become radioactive.
So, in conclusion, I would like to be a sci-fi lich.
Chameleon, Invisibility, Shape Shifter.
Guys, I don't know what I am and I'm scared
You're a cuttlefish!
You could be an old walnut tree in Istanbul! No one would be aware of you, but neither would the police.
You can be whatever you want.
Attractive male, insanely rich, intellect.
Yβall have fun being superheroes. Iβm gonna enjoy the fuck out of life.
There's no rules that says having powers mean you have to be a superhero
You could also be a supervillain... >:)
Aww, cute sad walrus emoji
Why would you pick intellect if you wanted a good time? Isn't ignorance bliss?
Yes but that haven't received the intelligence power yet so they don't know that
Attractive Female Attractive Male Third one doesn't matter
Add Shape shifting and you're Ranma.

How fast is the super speed?
Fast enough your skin melts from the friction and incidental contact results in amputation. Have fun!

Magic can accomplish all of this, so I choose that
Psionics (a la Legion/David Haller), Divine Powers (more Legion reality-warping fun), Immorality (until the Heat Death of the Universe). I've got a lot I want to do, starting with planetary reform and cultivation of the species.
