Within the realm of existing biology, I would take the ability to rapidly change colors like cuttlefish and octopuses. More efficient skeleton/muscle to be as strong proportionally as a monkey. Better eyesight and color vision (birds of prey).
Beyond that into superhero/magical, omnipotence is the catch-all that makes everything else moot. I probably wouldn't hit that button though.
So this means you are squarely into transhumanism right?
The only people I've met who called themselves transhumanists were straight up barmy. I don't know enough about the actual movement to claim association with it when the small sampling I have indicates "hell, nope".
Well yeah, the modern transhumanist concepts from like say the '80s to today have all been based squarely in science fiction that has not yet been proven to be possible
This would be more like a "we proved it is possible, now what?" scenario.
