Your can make up one if you wish too but keep things pg-pg-13 becasue why not, idk. pretend this is an interveiw and try to get hired to join some big superhero company or something.
this might be intersting or funny.
Clumsy Vision. You shoot rays out of your eyes that make the person mildly clumsy for a few minutes. Not like Slapstick Comedy levels of clumsiness, but just like tripping over their shoelaces or looking back and running into a pole clumsy.
You’ve won a few battles (like that time the purse thief mistook you for an A lister superhero, ran away, tripped over their own feet, and twisted their ankle), but you’re mostly useful for anything other than occasionally stopping petty criminal behavior.
Hindsight. Always useful. Terrible timing.
I guess you can always perfectly learn from your past mistakes. Though it means you use the power less and less as you learn/get better
The ability to boil eggs by looking at them. Always the same consistency which is slightly too hard for your own tastes.
Being able to teleport only 1 foot away
Seems useless until you realize that it can absolutely come in clutch if you’re ever physically stuck anywhere
And you can pass through walls
teleports into wall and dies
You could rob banks if the walls were less than a foot thick…
Super hearing. I probably wouldn’t tell them that it gave me super tinnitus
Being able to breathe underwater, no boosts to handling pressures and no talking to fish. You can’t go rescue dumb submarines, you still swim slower than any trained seal or dolphin, and cleaning the office fish tank doesn’t require swimming.
But think of the epic bathing you can accomplish. I’m talking FULL. BODY. SUBMERSION.
Finally, you could be 100% clean.
There’s a Marvel character who’s “super” power is that he is instantly forgotten by everyone the moment they don’t see him anymore. Seems like a pretty shitty predicament but it can be very useful.
Sounds like The Silence in Dr. Who
Seems extremely powerful to me. You can do anything that doesn’t get you killed immediately. It makes normal life impossible though. Actually, seems like a lot of interesting premises could come from that.
Infinite and unlimited flatulence and defecation. Unlimited fertilizer and methane. Solves the tops soil issue and the energy crisis.
First thing that comes to mind is RocketJump’s video Milk Man: World’s Worst Superhero. Essentially, his power is drinking and regurgitating milk. While this sounds lame, he actually manages to disarm and incapacitate the robber, fly, and give the distressed citizen a nice, refreshing beverage. Sounds pretty useful to me.
Now, only one question remains: Got Milk?
In the British TV show Misfits there was a villain who had the power of limited telekinetic control of milk (and cheese), he literally managed to successfully kill all but one of the main heroes (including the guy whose power was the ability to resurrect himself!). He was only stopped because of time travel by the one hero who was also lactose intolerant.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures proposes a couple of interesting . One villain has a power called “The Lovers” he manifests a tiny ,almost microscopic, insect creature which is physically very very weak (or at least the weakest we have seen at that point), but has the ability of going crazy whenever the stand user feels any kind of pain, so he sends the stand inside an opponents ear to their brain and pain centre – whenever he feels any pain The Lovers inflicts that same pain but much worse on his opponent. It’s also heavily implied that any pain caused by The Lovers that is above a certain level would be lethal.
Super weak power that is actually really strong if used intelligently.
One power I’ve always entertained is the ability to slow the passage of time linearly to the level of danger you’re in.
You can’t move much faster than the average human, and just because you can see something coming it doesn’t mean you can avoid it (though with time, your eyes will eventually train your muscles to reflex appropriately).
The ultimate killer ending of such a superhero would be an unwinnable situation (e.g. Comet coming to obliterate Earth) and all our hero will see is time slow down and down and down until the point where the catastrophe is about to occur, but (for them) never does.
You can heat your hands up just enough to cook bacon.
Being Bullshit man. It gives you power of superhearing, flight, super speed, and ability to call-out bullshit.
