It's semi-magical, I suppose, but I want to be pyrokinetic -- just to be able to start the charcoal grill without feeling like an utter failure, and light candles on demand.

Something more mundane: I would also love to be able to fall asleep without effort, as I wished.

I dunno, maybe that's too super a superpower

Neural Interface -- The ability to interface with any computer of any kind mentally, because it's so much faster and efficient that way.

Speaking of which...

Factoring - The ability to look at a number and instantly know its prime factors (Payday! Probably through mercenary work for the NSA)
