The superpower I would like to have is to be able to heal people that are in pain - physical and/or emotional. And I like to be able to do that without getting drained myself.
The drawback I can see that there is no way in the world that one person can heal all the misery that is out there and it might be even more frustrating not to be able to do that - when you are able to do that.
Now, I know that I only can do a little bit - but with that power - there are so many possibilities.
The other drawback is that sometimes going through hard times makes people grow in a way they never would otherwise. If I jump in and heal them, I might take away that opportunity to grow...

Healing is a great superpower, but like you said, taking away misery and suffering, whilst a noble goal does have it's downsides in affecting the growth of the person. I would liken it to the relationship between a child and a parent. As a parent, we feel an urge to protect and mitigate every difficult situation or any potential suffering that our child might encounter. However, for them to grow and learn to deal with situations (and to learn skills, perspective and experience) they might need to deal with that suffering/misery on their own terms and without the aid of a hero jumping in....
Well said - still, I would like that super power. There is so much suffering in the world that is caused by inequality. there is no lesson in people starving, getting bombed or kids being abused. At least not for them - for us - to do something.
