Star Trek in the TNG/DS9 era, serving in Starfleet. Easily.
If you want comics... DC, with healing and durability.

Doesn't mean I like watching it. 😛
Think about the alternatives.
DC comics for Crisis Tuesday.
Marvel for getting caught up in random acts of mutant violance and civil wars.
Anything homage indy thing being a dystopian nightmare version of that.
I suppose Astro City would be the most livable out of all of them, being a somewhat idealistic reimagining.
And to be honest we'd all be red shirts in Trek. Sure you want to live THERE?

Sin let us choose abilities, which means I'd be a valuable officer that isn't a redshirt.
Marvel and DC, it's all about being powerful enough not to randomly die in an event.
Both are doable, given we were allowed to make that choice.

The most powerful characters are the ones facing down Thanos with the IG or getting the attention of Darkseid though. 🙂
Pr had a good one. I'd def be a starfleet captain and just explore the unknown and chill in the holodeck but if it were a comic. I wouldn't want to be all powerful but definitely not street level. Maybe an open ended powerset like Iceman where thru training and skill I could achieve God like power or maybe Spiderman because we swinging would be nice

That's why you make sure you have enough power to get them the **** off your lawn.

My impression that most Starfleet officers live relatively cushy lives. You're on this big starship, hauling cargo or dignitaries from one place to another. Very little war, and yeah, you might be unlucky to run in to the Borg, but that's a one in a million chance.

I certainly would, regardless of where you'd send me universewise, I'll just reshape the cosmos.
This.
If one is all-powerful ,you can create a scenario where you are challenged justenough....if things get too challenging, you have an automatic fail-safe kicking in.
And of course, wipe your memory that it's YOU who will help out, and attribute it to a god of some sort.
So go through life, and get cancer? Pray to this god, and voila your cancer is gone. Need to win the lottery? Pray and boom.
Do this every ten years or so when you're bored of being omnipotent and want to see how the common man lives.

100%. 👆Vader's solo comics have done more to expand his character(in mostly good ways) than any other medium, imo... Aside from that, I never expected him to be consistently written as an absolute beast, either.
There are quite a few, but some that come to mind are:
Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir
Lando (by Soule)
Obi-Wan & Anakin
Shattered Empire
Kanan
The Rise of Kylo RenAside from the Kanan series(which is 12 issues), all the other titles are only 5 issues each... And they are all quite good, imo.
*Soule is also about to launch a new 5 issue series called "Crimson Reign", which sounds promising as well.
I liked Son of Dathomir. I'll look up the rest too, thanks 👆

Naw let it be open ended. I honestly don't think anyone would truly want to be all powerful
I don't. Power corrupts etc.
