After it was already posted, invincibility came to mind as a better choice. After all, just plain indestructibility wouldn't prevent me from being thrown into a volcano like Godzilla and surviving until an eruption or something else freed me. With invincibility, I'd get the same benefits of indestructibility while being sure that no opposing hordes can defeat me and put me someplace inconvenient.

I'm not sure just how far invincibility goes, however. It might include, for example, that no one would ever beat me in a game of skill or luck, or even a battle of the wits. Furthermore, the mechanism is vague. Do I beat every challenger in combat, with me blindfolded, through my own superiority, or does the superpower interfere and make them temporarily dumb? A bit of both seems the best (most fun) answer. If I were to try to fight a battle well, then I'd win by my genius. But if I were to deliberately fight foolishly, then I'd win through the opponent's worse folly. And if I were to try to lose, then the superpower would guarantee that. Unfortunately, if the superpower's mechanism was lazy, it would just take a shortcut: if I win, then I intended to win, and if I lose, then I intended to lose. It doesn't sound so great, after all.
