lol the exact same thing can be said about super speed. how many times have we seen a speedster get rekt by a guy without super speed? pis and cis are a thing.
tbh, it depends entirely on the situation. can go either way. but in comics pis and cis limit both these powers, or there wouldnt ever be a story.

Cyberpathy - Local level through direct interface, 360 square foot with ability to affect up to 10 machines at once.
Super Speed - Able to move and act of up to mach 1.
Advance Healing - unbeatable immune system, able to overcome any form of infection or disease.
4 in a heartbeat.
Extended youth/immortality is usually a side benefit.
Yeah, consciousness transfer makes telepathy OP. And immortality makes healing an OP #2. Nothing else is close if those are on the table, and all four are in play if they aren't.
Assuming the latter, any but #4 make you easily rich. I'd take speed personally bc it would be so much more convenient. Telepathy is too based on manipulation. Only cyberpathy entices me otherwise. Again, assuming the immortality options aren't available.
Originally posted by cdtmit would also be a fairly good way of making money. Get a few vials of your blood, distribute small amounts of them, and then sell your blood to the highest bidders when everyone realizes that you effectively have the cure for cancer, aids, etc. Your name gets in put in the history books as "the living miracle/the person that cured cancer", you get to retire early, and it's all completely legal.
Not having to worry about any disease still makes #4 pretty attractive.Goodbye health insurance premiums, doctor's visits, and worrying about every suspicious mole or heart flutter.. (Not to mention std's.. 🙂 )
Not sure why people are talking about a fight situation.
The OP didn't say if you picked a power there would be people who had the remaining three.
The reason I chose super-speed is because its the only power here that will actively make you feel like a super-human, at all times.
And again, unless its some kind of magic, non-physics based speed, you also get enhanced durability by default.
Telepathy is the next best, but 360 square feet is a really small range.

Decent chance you'd get locked up and experimented on going that route. Or assassinated because people are stupid.
Or the government declares your blood a controlled substance, and outlaws it's distribution until a lot of "research" is done first (E.g. they and their pharmacy cronies work on monetizing you.. or worse, ban's you if you're too effective and turn everyone into immune regenerating immortals..)
