Al Parker did a porn film where the lead character had a limited form of the ability to hear other peoples thoughts.
But only when they were thinking about having sex with him.
Hey, its gay porn! Any kind of a plot is a rarity!! And that one was borderline interesting.
TV repairman thinks to himself: "I'd rather be fucking with him than this FUCKING TV set"
LOL!
So the point being, even modest, limited superpowers have their utility.

Maybe some of Rogue's powers, but I'll take shape shifting instead of absorbing powers by touch.

Money.
There's only one Superman, only one Spider Man, only one Hulk, only one Wolverine, only one Wonder Woman... But there are two superheros whose
only power comes from having lots of money!

But I already have a superpower.
It's called common sense.

Being death isn't a super power, choose another one.

I'd be Aversion Therapy Man: The closer stupid people got to me, the more pain they'd feel.
I cannot guarantee that I'd use this power only for good.

I've actually thought a lot about this particular question. The answer I've come up with is that telekinesis is the most versatile superpower. Adequate mastery of TK guarantees flight, bulletproofness, pseudo-superstrength, the ability to manipulate microscopic particles, and so on and so forth. As long as you can figure out how to apply TK to any particular concept, you can generate your own superpowers.
