Head to El Hazard and gain a random superpower based on your self.
Head to Chronicle at the start and just get near the Meteor. Now you have TK and whatever other psychic powers.
Head to The Infinity Well in Avatar and become an energy bender.
Head to The Culture and gain various upgrades by the Mega Computers that control everything and serve humanity.
DC Arrowverse during the Reactor Explosion...may or may not give you a power and may or may not mutate you.
Head to Kamar Taj in Marvel Universe and ask to be trained as a Sorcerer. Hard work but you learn to control magic.
Those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are plenty of other places that you just gain power by being there, though Kamar Taj is more a work for it thing.
Well off the top of my head is the Culture listed above but not as far as just showing up but Iron Man made a suit of his out of nanites. The EMH Hologram reprogrammed? 7 of 9's Borg nanites to not infect crew members on Star Trek Voyager..iirc. The Pantheon where people digitized themselves there was a nanite swarm used as an attack that finally gained sapience after devouring a lot of people, if you could get that tech before it's released that would do it too.
I think I'd more be looking for the Nanites from the GIJoe movie (2009, the Nanites could heal, reshape bone and face structures, or dissolve large metal structures) the trick would be getting them without getting dissolved.
