Relatively minor powers that would be awesome to have in real life...

I could probably think of things to do for 200, 400 years, but eventually  I would just want to die.   Immortality isn't meant for someone.  I imagine unless you can completely alter the human mind's way of thinking.

 

Life can be miserable enough without drawing it out for eternity.

 

Life is also about fighting one "battle" after another, and eventually your mind will get tired of the war.

You'd better take some levels to hit.  Trump has a pretty big Ego.

 

Big ego, sure, but low mental defense value - everything gets to him.  He's that guy that reads the facebook of a girl who he went on a date with, one time, and when she says 'That could have gone better' without any context after the date immediately writes a massive text block disparaging her, her choices, her lifestyle, and how he doesn't care anyways but that he spent a half hour writing this novel of a post for her own good so she could find happiness someday. And also that it wasn't him in the slightest, that he is a great person (you know, should any of her friends be interested and seduced by his truthful and dominant manner).

 

If fully controllable - a range sense of taste.  I have a lot of stomach problems but love the food that cause them - but not enough to justify chewing up perfectly good food and spitting it out like I'm doing retakes for a food commercial.

In short, Trump will be "fun" to negotiate with Putin.

On the other hand imagine a 2D6 RKA with invisible power effects shooting people down with finger guns.

 

Here's a fun package 5" mega scale teleportation only straight gliding in the form of a wing suit and finally a 1 "teleport no relative velocity. Teleport up to 15000,feet then use the wing suit to glide miles and miles then when you want to land just teleport that last two meters and bleed of your velocity.

I should say the human mind is built to manage the ordeals of one lifetime.  100, not so much.

Fortunately, I don't think LS: Immortality makes you un-killable. You can always check out, or die from accident or violence. I once read that a person who didn't get sick or age would have an average lifespan of about 400 years...it's not always old age or sickness that gets you.

 

However a resurrection power combined with un-aging could make some as close to 'really' immortal as makes little difference.
