Hmmm...
I've orgasmed hundreds and hundreds of times in my life. I don't believe I've ever been the subject of torture.
Beyond that, the tactile sense is used very often in grappling (something I LOVE doing), in balance, and, the fact of the matter is, being immune to pain really isn't a boon. Pain is a natural warning response - it warns you of tissue damage.
And, you'd be stuck as steel your entire life.
I mean, if you're willing to give up some of the most mindblowing experiences known to man for a little strength and durability....

yeah, because most people will experience torture in their lives 🙄
People who make bargains with the devil and end up with Superhuman powers in a world where no one else has them would have far more opportunity.

If I had a body made a steel, tissue damage would not be a common problem.
As for the rest srug
Superman's powers: meh, too restrictive.
Spidey's powers: and be stalked/haunted/chased by every motherfookin' wasp, killer bee and hornet on the planet? Yeah right 🙄
Colossus' powers: I'll take it in a second. I may look horrible, but people will get used to that. And touch is indeed overrated.
Xavier's powers: sounds like major headache.
Wolverine's powers: I'll look normal and live forever, but if somebody, for some reason, decides to dispose of me in the classic Italian way (cement!) then I'm royally screwed for all eternity. Brrr....
Turning down the offer: since mr Devil can't be trusted, turning him down doesn't seem like a very good idea.

with a catch of course. Every power comes with a curse or limitation. Which one would you choose, or would you refuse the devil's offer?1. Have Superman's powers...but you will die if you are exposed to ANY sunlight!
2. Have Spiderman's powers...but insects around the globe will be attracted to you and come to you!
3. Have Colossus' powers...but you will always be in metal form and lose all your sensations of touch!
4. Have Xavier's powers...but you will have no control over when, who, and how many people's minds you read!
5. Have Wolverine's powers...but you will NEVER die! (Think carefully before you choose this one)
6. Refuse the Devil's offer and be content with your own life!
