Being Superman is probably the best. Functionally immortal, perfect disguise is just 1 pair of glasses away so you can still find love, hold the world hostage for unlimited money you can move through a swiss bank.
Easy there, Homelander
Sure, you can find true love but but you can never have sex again. No human would be able to survive your orgasms

That's fun for the first million years or so but then get a little boring. Then about about a billion years when the sun starts heating up and effectively scorches and sterilized earth, you better hope humanity has found a different place to live. By the time the universe dies of heatdeath, you will have gone insane from trillions of years of lonelyness
I'm sure if you are superman you can find another planet with intelligent life.
Else, maybe you can terraform some other planet and help humanity move there, you are fu**ing Superman after all
By the time heat death occurs you'll have lived for trillions over trillions over trillions of years (10^1500 earth years if I recall correctly), probably alone because everyone died except you. Them heat death occurs, meaning no more planets, no more stars, not even black holes will be left You'll then spend eternity in a black void with nothing.
Fun times!
No more stars means you would lose super powers and die. Problem solved
Great, so I'd only need to live alone for 10^100 years (iirc) until the last red dwarf fizzles out. Totally not maddening.
Not being able to die sucks very quickly
Not for me, I feel like I would get bored pretty quickly.
Then you fly to mars or any other planet in the universe
Edit: well not any planet, but at least any planet in our galaxy our yellow sun galaxies
Wait a second.... if Superman needs a yellow sun for his powers, and each galaxy is like, reeaalllyyy far away, then wouldn't he run out of sun energy shortly after leaving our galaxy?
I think you're confusing "galaxy" with "solar system", but presumably he could pick another suitable star, accelerate to light speed (or however fast he can go) in that direction, take a nap, and then use the destination star's power to slow down.
Ah. Thank you! Yes, solar system! Much appreciated!
Probably
I mean, assuming that I only have the features of Superman but real world physics still applies, everything is so fucking far away and as far as we can see, there's nothing out there. Like yeah, I could spend a few years observing stuff like black holes, stars etc. from upclose but I generally get bored with repetitive stuff.
