The power to transport myself (plus stuff up to my weight, roughly 250 lb) to any point in time or space I have been to would be very useful (it would mean teleportation plus time travel) though the negatives would include massive draining of life energy (so plenty of sleep and food would be needed), and accidental transport into a dangerous place. The more restrictions, the less valuable. The need to feast beforehand and sleep after hand makes it worth less than free energy. Paradoxes would also be a problem so I would have to be careful not to go to the exact time and place where I was (so being nearby or in a different time period). I would use it to go to Florida, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, and possibly Leavenworth, Portland, Whistler/Blackcomb/Vancouver, and Hawai'i at the best times on a regular basis. I could use it to make billions in stocks and trade (trade because I could become a courier with instant transportation for anything I can carry, the more money I make, the more traveling I can do, which means I can expand my range).
Another problem with time travel would be lack of valid identification.
"Oh yeah, I am 21 so let me drink,"
"You need to show ID"
"Here it is."
Bartender looks at ID
"Sir, this is a fake ID, your date of birth was last year and your card was 'printed' in the future."
The problem with ID is non-existant if you go back to a time where you do not need ID.
For me I want the ability to control time stop, go back and forward.
I have always wanted time travel. No, I do not want to go back in time and change things. For all I know, changing the past might end up with me blowing up the present. I want the ability to freeze time, fast forward, slow down, and other options you see on a common TV remote. My 'time machine' would look just like a remote, and I would have it clipped to a belt that I would wear. I wish that I could just freeze time and relax sometimes. Or, I could freeze time and catch up on sleep. Or, I could slow down time to 80%, to make the days slightly more peaceful. Or, I could speed up time in class to 150%, so I could still understand the teacher, but class would go by faster. I have had many day-dreams about this kind of time travel. It sounds fun.

Teleportation. Or Matter control. I think I'd stick with matter control, so I can turn whatever atoms are floating around and make something useful or worth much money.

Sometimes I wonder if it's all too easy.
Lying, cheating, stealing your way to victory.
Though just how far would you fall for a dream?
Shape-shifting for sure.
There are massive exploits. I shall shape sift into a man, with hydrogen particles to his left, then another man!
2 men controlled by 1 'megamind'.
Exploit it for an army, or more...
You could shape shift your arm into a fully functioning gun, with the bullets being yourself, just with air in between them.
Universes, infinite rooms where on the outside, it is only as wide as a pencil...
The list goes on.
This may seem like a strange idea, but I sort of thought this:
Locating any life form, with names above where they would be. It would work through walls and the ground too.
Somalia. Because it puts the ARRRR in anarchy! DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOH.

Need to scare someone?
Spider
Get my point...
Sire I inquire as I do with most, but do you mean to gloat? For is it truly such a tire to reply to the host with but a simple QUOTE?
The one thing I do understand about time travel, if you fix the mistakes you made, it may drastically alter your future when you return.

Or speed, that would work too,

That's smart, f***ing smart.
