Top of my list is probability manipulation. This seems like a very practical power, especially if it is of the right variety, specifically "incredible luck". You could get rich easily by playing the lottery. You'd always be in the right place at the right time. Basically, in any situation where a number of possibilities exist, the best possible outcome is the one that attains. Someone tries to shoot me, the gun jams. I need to get away from danger, and a person decides to give me their new jag.
Enhanced probability has a similar effect. You see all possibilities and know which to choose to attain a desire effect. This power also affords a great opportunity for heroics, but without the egoistic danger inherent in the superhero enterprise. One can save people only by moving a rock two feet to the right or something. No one would ever know what you did, and so this reduces the corruptive influence such power might have.
To get a handle on how this power works, here is a list of characters who have the power:
Gladstone Gander from DUCK TALES (a favorite)
