I have two choices depending on my role in the narrative.

1: unrestricted ability to grant other people powers with the requirement that I keep them balanced both in power scale and moral direct as well as not being able to use the powers on myself either on my own or through proxy.

2: I'm the Thing from Carpenter's 1982 movie The Thing but every cell is me and under my control. If need be, I can consume an injury's worth of biological mass to heal. I would mostly use this to get out of conversions by bisecting my face and spagetti-ing before returning to normal, apologizing for that, and saying I should go take my meds.

For number one, you might enjoy the excellent, then subsequently boring, show Misfits.

Actually yes, I watched ever episode as they aired until they killed Curtis. At that point I wasn't invested enough in the new characters to keep watching.

I went a bit further than that and you didn't miss much.
