Pick you limited use superpower

The ability to see in the infrared spectrum, but only when it's too dark for me to see otherwise.

Also, the ability to create beautiful pictures... but only in the form of large amounts of text from a significant distance.

I'd want the ability to summon background singers. Once a day, greater racial power.

The ability to fly, but only a few metres up and at jogging pace.

The ability to create a pocket dimension inside an object for storage of excess... anything, really. A literal bag of holding, as it were.

Also, for fetish satisfaction the ability to snap-summon an Opposite-Sex Clone for autoincest.

Pullet proof skin - complete immunity to damage by chickens.

Nice pun.

The ability to not have regrets about some of the stupider things I've ever done. I'd then be Marginally Regretless Man =)

Astral projection. Leave my body behind and go wherever I want to go.

The ability to create and manipulate impenetrable energy shields, but only if in dire need of one (in that they would react to my body's adrenaline levels; if I feel I'm in real danger, the forcefields can be generated). I wouldn't be able to knowingly trick my body into doing it, but they could still work if it turned out that I was mistaken about the presence of a threat.

I'd have super strength, but the inability to turn it off. None of that crush-mountains-yet-fold-origami-with-ease stuff. Full power, all the time.

The ability to make everyone love everyone.

So basically, you're taking away the ability of your motor cortex to control the amount of motor units it stimulates, an ability which every creature with a muscular and nervous system has.

The ability to recharge batteries WITH MY MIND.

What? Depends how big the batteries are, doesn't it?

The power to summon coffee tables in front of people.

the ability to fly! but only 5 feet off the ground and only up to 20 mph

The ability to manipulate the form of matter, but only if I have an energy supply to handle the physics of moving the atoms.

A Dirt Forcefield - look clean all the time.

Phasing - but it only works on lampposts, telephone poles and sign posts.

The ability to convincingly fake my death, but only when I don't need to.

I'd chose the ability to reincarnate as a ghost who can interact with the world.

By that I don't mean a ghost who knocks cups off tables; I wanna be a ghost like the motherfuckin' Jackal from Thirteen Ghosts. And then maul the shit outta criminals and other miscreants.

'Course, this power is less "limited use" and more like "one time use only".

The power to float in the air.

The ability to play any sport/game perfectly, but only while drinking in a pub.

MCE: As if that isn't the best time to play sports. XD

The ability to lay Geasa. Five uses for life.

The ability to lift anything so long as I'm carrying it for someone else.

The ability to run at high speeds in increments of exactly six miles.

The ability to be completely immovable so long as I willingly stand on a reasonably accurate depiction of an apricot.

Immunity to motion sickness.

corporeal astral projection. but only within a short range, say 12 meters.

Freeform shapeshfiting. Invulnerability and Healing Factor of course come as the Required Secondary Powers.

The catch? Cannot willingly shift, only forcefully or randomly by accident.

Of course, the Healing Factor reforms the body back to normal after a couple of hours to make life bearable instead of having to spend the rest of your days as an umbrella, raft, doormat, stray cat or anything else you got yourself changed into.
