Shape-Shifting

I really wish I could shape-shift.

I mean isn't it better than any of the other powers (except for probability manipulation). Because for mind-reading, yes it would be a good power to have but you don't really want to know what everyone thinks of you. And flight that would be cool to but what's the point of having flight without being able to be invisible at the same time? 

Though if you could shape-shift you could just become something that can fly and your power could stay hidden. And for invisibility you could just sort of become something that fits into your surroundings.

With shape-shifting you could become anything a dragon, a wolf, an owl, a bee. Whatever. I feel like the other powers would be confining in a way. 
Flight: that's it nothing else you can fly. 
Invisibility: simple enough become shy and don't talk a lot voila you are (in a way) invisible. 

With becoming an animal, you have the heightened senses, along with the abilities that are species specific. Yes, if you wanted to keep it a secret I guess shape-shifting might not be too much fun for some people who would want to show it off (not me). 

Imagine it: while camping you are exploring the forest and there is no one around why not become a wolf? You can suddenly enjoy you can suddenly enjoy your explorations on a deeper level, more scents, you can run and you can feel so free.

There is quite a lot of stories, legends, myths, etc. surrounding this idea, Like werewolves but they have no power over the transformations. Also Mystique, in X-Men where she could shape-shift herself into whatever she wanted.

So the power to shape-shift would be really great to have (especially if you can control the transformations) , some people might want to use it to become a hotter version of themselves, gradually. But no, I would prefer to be a dragon or something like that.
