The power to instantly communicate with anyone I want, regardless of time or place.
Making people think they're going insane or prank-calling Charlemagne aside, even just the ability to call your future self for advice or warn your past self is stupidly overpowered. In a Many Worlds timeline it can be absolutely insane, Qualia the Purple-style; by constantly reporting back to your past self and telling them about your life, your past self can simply change the decisions you made and live a different life. Then they report back to their past self, and they can change the decisions and live a different life, and so on. You're not even limited to the time after you acquired the power, as you can simply call any version of your younger self even prior to it, although who knows what shenanigans that could cause. By doing so you can effectively tailor and live your perfect life.
Even in a fixed timeline scenario it's handy, since it acts as reality warping (as the conversation with your future self is now destined to happen regardless of your actions). Just call your future self at an age close to when you would like to die (say 150); if you get no answer, count down day by day until you get a reply. Just say hello to each other and you're set; regardless of whatever actions you take, no matter how careless or dangerous they might be, you're guaranteed to live to that point. In short, you have absolute "freedom" because you have absolute certainty. Once you've done that you can test whether you're in a Many Worlds timeline or not to your leisure by calling different versions of yourself.
Even if time works in a different way we haven't even conceived yet, it's still an extremely useful tool that can test and discover the limits of it and our Universe. Not to mention you still have all the perks of telepathy at your disposal for fun.
While playing in God's domain is asking for trouble, if you're gonna get a superpower you might as well see its limits. A power that simply allows myself to help myself, past or future, also really speaks to me.
tl;dr Even minor time powers like this are crazy.

I would have the power to steal anything without getting caught. I take someone's wallet from them, right in front of them? Reality bends to my will, and they don't remember me taking it, going so far as to believing that the wallet was mine in the first place. I steal the nuclear launch codes? Yeah, they were mine in the first place, according to every top official from then on. Basically, anything that comes into my possession is recognized as rightfully mine by everyone in the universe.
Nah jk. If we're going with any power here, the real power I would choose would be complete control of all 10 dimensional planes.

If we're talking about superpowers, I'd like to have a power to bend reality to my will. Not spellcasting, not energy string weaving, not divine faith magic, none of this, just pure willpower. And I don't want to get it all at once, it's about the ride. I've read it in a novel, the guy was a captured soldier about to be executed, he accepted death but thought "at least I'll take some of you with me". So, the result was: clear state of mind, supernatural accuracy and 8 corpses. Pretty cool I must say.

I have decided it!!
I want to be a healer. Just a healer, I don't want the power of resurrection. But a healer like this guy:

Time travel and reality manipulation is tempting but there will always be troubles and mistakes so I rather help myself and others with their well being.

I kinda have healing powers. i can just rewind my body to before it got hurt, and i guess i can do it to others but only if they're not an asshole to me.

That sounds like a pretty cool superpower. I like how it mainly depends on your will power, but than if you feeling discouraged in a situation ur power wont work.

hmm i like the fact that ur willing to let things play out instead of having an explosive power that just gets things over with. I wouldnt have enough patience for that kind off thing but u seem like a very patient person.
