If You Had A Superpower...

Psychokinesis (or mind over matter).
This kind of ability pretty much guarantees a roller-coaster of feats you could do.
Flight, conversion of matter from one form into another, enhancement/regeneration of your own cellular structure (for extending the lifespan or preventing fatal injuries), keeping up a low level personal field around your body that prevents anything from getting through (and that's just the start).

With enough time on your hands, you'd likely be able to 'evolve' the ability into something else down the line.
I don't remember if it was a novel or a short story in the Wild Cards series were it was speculated that all the Jokers and Ace powers were in fact telekinesis. That all the Dr Strange spells, powered rings etc were actually just how the Ace activated his power.
 
In order of preference:

Telekinesis; which I'd use to stop projectiles, levitate/fly, move big stuff, pull pranks to knock people with big egos down a peg or three, and many more uses.

Something like La Forge and Ensign Ro had in TNG "The Next Phase" (Invisability plus phasing), only that could be turned on and off would be very useful.
 
There are a few I can't decide between.

I would like invisibility.
I would like Jumper-esque warp skills.
I would like to be able to speak every known language fluently.
Telekinesis/The Force would be cool.
