Most are not really that bad.

For super strength you would just be the strongest man in the world, yeah, you'd look like it, but some people dig that.

For super speed, that is actually not a bad trade off, especially since you could just use it a tiny bit to win races etc. Just increase your run speed by 1.5x and you'd win all the races and be rich etc. You could give up an hour of your life to quickly (so fast nobody can see you) look at other peoples hands in high stakes poker etc.....tons of ways to become super rich, and then you still have backup speed in case of emergencies (IE you would die if you didn't use it).

Time travel doesn't make sense sadly because how would you know to rewind time after you started and lost the memory of why you rewinded it, would you ever stop rewinding at that point? You HAVE to retain memories or at best you would have an endless loop of rewinding time, and at worst you would rewind all the way back to the start (again possibly every time). So logically everyone else would forget but you would have to remember.

The radius on telepathy would rock, but still, you could easily (very easily) become mega rich, buy an island, and only have select people come out. Also much like most noise you could probably learn to tune it out over time. You could also still have interactions with people online/over phones etc, just you would need to be selective about who comes onto your property (doesn't have to be an island, just at least 1 square mile of land).

Invisibility meanwhile is pretty easy to fix. Shave all your hair, close your eyes when you want to be totally invisible. As far as your mouth, just pull your lips in (kinda like what girls do after putting makup on) so it's just skin showing. BAM totally invisible. You can just open your eyes briefly to see where you need to go, and that would be all that shows.

No down side to lover if your selfish honestly, you could even have your past lovers kill themselves for you probably, or create a harem of slaves that will do anything to sleep with you. It's a messed up power but I'd say a good portion of humanity would take it in a second (both sexes).

Phasing would depend on alot of factors, especially if you can phase only part of your body (but it's still attached to the rest) letting you face your hand/arm through a safe for instance etc. You could phase part of your body at a time till the whole thing was through a door etc. If you have to phase your whole body, then you have to deal with if gravity would even affect you, velocity etc, but if you stay on the same trajectory/rotation etc of the early and are only affected by previous movement (ie you phase before jumping through a wall) then you would not sink into the earth etc. It would still be dangerous if your not careful, but would be useful in many situations.

Flight is messed up the way you make it, although it doesn't have to be. Your bone density could be reduces etc, and the wings could be small enough to fold back in etc, but yeah that flight power would mostly stuck.

Teleportation though is...fairly normal in many games etc. You basically can only teleport to places you know are empty (can see) or that you have set up in advance to be safe (create teleportation zones that only you can open, get in/out of, so there will never be anything inside. You could use this to travel quickly around the world, and make tons of money again. You could also use it for magic tricks etc, and to possibly eventually help space exploration by going out to space in a shuttle ship, creating a safe teleportation area, and then transporting tons of materials to make a space station (and later a base on the moon etc) for humanity. You would be a hero (and get lots of chicks cause chicks dig astronauts!!).
