Shapeshifting. Lots of applications! Just off the top of my head:

Need to get somewhere? Just become something small and stow away on a jumbo jet. (Or become a bird and fly there yourself!)
Need some extra strength or flexibility? Just turn up your muscles or stretch out your limbs.
Find yourself in a dangerous situation/environment? You can adapt on-the-fly.
Disguise yourself as someone with power to fix things (or wreak havoc, depending.)

Obviously there are Questions™ involving how this would interact with conservation laws, but we can just handwave those.

That's always been one that sounded super cool to me. Honestly I'd turn into weird stuff out of curiosity, like just to see what compound eyes are like, or what it's like to be liquid.
