How pedantic do we get to be? Like, Iβd be fine with flying because I could just hover a millimeter from the ground instead of standing, I would think
My stepson asks all kinds of questions like this and highly scientific pedantry is my go-to move.
βTechnically if you were invisible, your retinas would stop working, so Iβd go with flight.β

This is pretty simple though right?
Healing factor - always-on healing.
Healing factor - always-on healing.

Shapeshifting, I will take no questions
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!

I'm always at a comfortable temperature no matter what.
If humanity finds out about that property of you, you might end up as some kind of human battery. If you can't be cooled down under any circumstances, one could use your body to heat up infinite amounts of water/air with heat pumps and use you to heat entire cities. Super useful for the rest of humanity but not exactly the life I'd like to live. :D

Being lucky all the time would be cool. The only time I can think it might be a hindrance would be at a casino because they'd think I'm cheating but I don't gamble so it doesn't matter I guess.
Being lucky all the time will feel like nothing matters or is exciting anymore because the outcome is always positive.

I would have the power to be naturally skilled at anything I do and having it always activated would be a bonus.

I would want the superpower of linguistics: the ability to fluently read, speak, and understand any language ever spoken or will be spoken.

I'll take Mr. Manhattan's power set for 500, Alex. Oh yeah, its naked time.
hmmmm, "plot armor" sounds nice to be always on.
Shapeshifting. It's what I wanted anyway and I can always just be continuously toggling the length of my little toenail to be 1mm longer or shorter.
