To me, one of my favorite poweres to read about is TERRESTRIAL TELEPORTATION. The character LILA CHENEY from Claremont's latter days as Uncanny X-Men scribe was the first character I read about who had that power. It's the first power I think of and it just rolls off the tongue whenever I've been in a convo having to do with "what powers you would have". If you had the tech, you could harness an awesome spacesuit fit to withstand any atmosphere, and then you just start studying our galaxy, to start. That's what I would do. Chart the Milky Way, then see why/if the hell Jupiter's so deadly. If things go wrong, with enough training and study, you could be back in your bedroom in a wink. Teleportation has always fascinated me, especially on a terrestrial level. Meaning, ANYWHERE in the universe...if you know how to get there. Of course, you would also have to learn about time travel, because if you're not presice, you could also be doing some serious time-jumping.
As for Jackman's reply, being able to phase through walls/objects would be dope. You'd become the greatest sports star in history. And as a telepath, if you're not careful, you'll hear a lot more than you wish to. Sure, it'll get you in or out of the sack quicker, but most of us know that's not what having a super power is about(unless it was manipulation, then you would almost HAVE to try it at least once). But honestly, when is it, as guys, that we wish we had some form of telepathy? Bingo. The next morning, when you're driving back to her car or home or where ever, and she hits you off with the "in passing/'I need to get this off my chest because I just slept with you and don't know where this is going'" info that she's a felon, or legally crazy, or something that makes you think, "Why did I not pry her brain for more than just wondering if she's down for some 2 AM action?"...yeah, you'll curse being a telepath. And as for the claws, well, you saw the scars on Silver Fox in the movie. Even with a healing factor, and death-clad nightmares, no one else is safe in the same bed with retractable claws, unless they had a healing factor as well.
