which character's powers do you think would be the easiest for you to practically adapt to and control in the real world with minimal training? whose powers do you think would be the most difficult to wield?
based on that, if you had to pick a character's power to have in the real world- whose would it be?
I’m assuming this is meant for herald level character
- Green Lanterns rings would probably rank as one of the highest
The easiest would be innate abilities that come naturally. IE: Superman’s strength, flight..etc. yes, it can be hard to control on earth because everything would feel like paper. You’d need to apply .0000001% strength to everything you do but otherwise learning and using it without worrying for the surrounding will be easy.
Super senses and telepathy would be incredibly difficult, I feel.
Imagine being able to smell EVERYTHING. Your colleagues microfarts. The sewer below you. That rotting pizza in the alleyway behind you. The burning dust from your PC.
Like Parmaniac said, the shapeshifting and size change, maybe the invisibility and the replication. The most difficult powers in my opinion are molecular control and the weather manipulation.
Easiest would probably be durability. Until I needed an operation, lol.
Most difficult, I'm going to go with telepathy or super strength. I'm imagining just breaking floors because my footsteps are too heavy, or accidentally ripping my clothes because my arms got stuck or something. Someone tickles me from behind and I take their head off, or I have a nightmare and destroy stuff.
Super-senses would be absolutely horrendous irl, and would literally drive you insane. I'm trying to sleep but I can hear someone in another city coughing, I can smell my neighbor's farts, I can see through my own eyelids, etc. Telepathy would be even more maddening.
Durability/stamina/regen would obviously be the easiest powers to deal with. Everything else...even 'basic' stuff like super speed/strength/flight...would take a LOT of practice to get the hang of.

I wouldn't even count those honstely, they're passive and irrelevant until something bad happens to you or better said until really needed. healing does what it does without you having to actually learn to control things. I agree on the senses, even though passive aswell, everyday life would become a nightmare, I'm actually not even sure how you're supposed to be able to "control" that. I know Superman and Flash do that in the comics but that should then be somekind of extra power or added power because how the hell are you supposed to slow down or increase your perception without drugs or something.

In terms of interface with the outside world, super-strength would probably be the hardest [assuming high-end]. I'd probably never be able to squeeze/grab anything, since even a nano-fraction of it would shatter even the hardest materials.
In terms of interface in general, super-speed is difficult in the sense that, even if I can control the level of it [i.e. I can interact with the world at normal levels], in the back of my mind, I'd always feel like I'd waste time. Imagine spending even 30 minutes in normal time, when in the back of your head, you know you could have spread that to lifetimes -- even moreso if you're not immortal, so your lifespan is finite already. If you're not [i.e. you're Superman not Flash], then 'wasting time' wouldn't be that hard on you, considering you still have an eternity to live.

Telepathy would be the hardest. I remember watching a movie where a character discovered they had TP and almost went insane in no time.
Super senses would be tough to start with but you'd adapt to them within a month or so. Our brains are good at screening things out. I had a friend (I say had because he bortowed my scuba gear, never returned it and a couple of years later wanted me to pay for damage to his wall because the burst valve broke on the tank and it went thru his wall- like I can do the yearly pressure tests legally required on a scuba tank that would prevent that when I dont have the f#$in tank breath .... rant over) who lived on the back of the airport runway (boings taxied past his back yard) after about 2 months of him living there, when I visited I didnt notice the planes.
Durability and healing would be the easiest. Strength not so much, like DS said youd probably rip arms off people without meaning to
It's called a google home (you can also do it with Alexa) smart lights all over the house, smart tvs, smart remotes to control tvs, pay tv boxes, media players, aircons.
