If you could have one superpower

[Rita_Poon]

The ability to force (not by violence) the facts via testimony from any human being.

Sadly once this ability was known about, the hit squads would be sent asap.

Disregarding Planet rotation.
If you wanted to go back to say Roman London, bearing in mind you'd have to be there first, only one Super power, not teleportation combined with time travel.
Anyway the fall will probably break both your ankles as it's all 20-30ft under present day levels now

Nothing's ever simple

teletimeport into the sea 20 m from shore?

teletimeport, it's a shore thing

I’d want my superpower to be the ability to manifest whatever superpower I wanted / needed at any given time.

Run out of money at the bar, snap - create £20 pound notes from thin air.
Sat on the toilet and there’s no bog roll left, snap - adopt the ability to pinch one off without needing to wipe.
Etc etc

The power to ban international football would be a wonderful thing

Why even bother go up to the bar. Last sip, snap and another beer at the table

In situation 2 you could just use the same superpower as in situation 1

The ability to find a free parking space when ever i want one.

Yep eminently doable, shifting sands and all that, using the Roman London example, the Thames was twice as wide back then.
Thinking in reverse...you're standing on the banks of the river fleet and decide to go back. You'd end up in an underground sewer.

If you hold with the theory that there are parallel worlds in a near infinite ring around the sun as it were, stepping between those worlds going 'east' or 'west' would be a neat trick

To poke people on the nose for two minutes whilst saying, "you are really are very stupid, aren't you ?" , and they couldn't do anything about it. Yes, that would be a great superpower, and great fun to boot.

All's I can think is the red dwarf episode where they get the faster than light drive and travel back in time to present day earth but are still lost in deep space.

"We're not even betty boop!"

Will one be poking oneself just for starters?

 

[blue to the bone]

I'd become a mod here for a day. Perma ban every one I have on ignore and also eat all Dans fancy biscuits from the mods canteen

 

[Toffeeslam]

Gotta be a sort of Jedi mind trick and force anyone to do anything you want at any time.

Think of all the money and gorgeous snatch you could get….by the way regarding invisibility you can find me in Scarlet Johansson’s bathroom

I would quite like the ability to freeze time but I can still freely move around, (bit like that 90s tv show that I have totally forgotten the name of). I think that would be quite good fun.
