Really stupid/lame super powers

I always figured if I somehow acquired super powers, it would NOT be cool like strength or flight.

Some super heros control fire (Human Torch) or ice (Iceman) but mine would be more like Luke Warm Man. I would be able to make things a cozy 72 degrees F.

Another one I thought i would get is that I wouldn't be invincible but every time someone hit me they would get really tired and bored. So they would stop fighting me and go get a snack or take a nap.

Another possibility is to be like Aquaman, but instead of fish, I could talk to squirrels or platypus or okapi or ducks or penguins. Some really useless animals. If I could talk to gerbils I would find out what REALLY happened with Richard Gere back in the day...

    I already have a super power. I can MAKE people. I made three already. Don't laugh, lots of people can't make other people like I can!

    My favorite would be Forumman. He has the uncanny ability to create mediocre forum posts.

    My daughter (who is 19) claims that her superpower is that she can shoot glitter from her fingertips. She says that all it does is attract unicorns. :-/

    Squirrel Girl already exists and is one of the most powerful characters in Marvel, defeating the likes of Dr. Doom, MODOK, Thanos, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Fin Fang Foom.

    That said, the real reason that I wanted to respond to this was after a conversation with a friend who wished he had the power to "turn into a velociraptor." He wanted this power because he was tired of being chased by dogs while running.

    This is somewhat appropriate. NSFW for language.

    Clearly this power is already taken. OH!

    I have the ability to predict rain. Other than encouraging Superman to take an umbrella or tell Batman to put the top up on the Batmobile, it is fairly useless.

    I have been told I have Wolverine-like healing. I have not had a cold, flu, sore throat, cough, or even a fever in over 25 years. However, my weakness is strawberries and bananas. If I eat either one, within 10 minutes I am curled up in the fetal position due to the extreme pain in my stomach. My kryptonite for sure!

    I have the ability to find things that my kids can't find. Example:

    Son: Have you seen my earbuds?
    Me: No
    Son: I've looked everywhere!
    Me: (enter thought bubble) Well, your room is a mess, I don't see how you can find anything. Out loud: Did you look in the car?
    Son: I did, but I'll try again

    While he is looking, I go in his room, push aside a pile of paper, and lo and behold I find earbuds.

    Son, after much exhausting search comes back in.
    Me: Did you find them?
    Son: No
    Me: I did! hahahahaha

    I've always want to have the power of super speed... But only in my fingers and hands.

    Lukewarm Man would be pretty popular in say Antarctica, or the Mohave Desert.

    My superpower is talking like Sean Connery.

    ^^
    That one would work on me! I live in the Desert - Lukewarm man would be an awesome power!

    I have a super power but it doesn't seem to do me any good - I am totally invisible when I am driving my gigantic White 3/4 ton Suburban! If I was visible people wouldn't pull out three feet in front of me and expect me to be able to stop - right?

    My super power is sarcasm. It's not good for much, because the idiots I try to insult using it just don't understand. I want them to fall into a ball and quiver at my wit, but they just give me this face :indifferent: and they think I'm being totally serious.

    Those particular animals aren't useless; they know how to form an angry mob and take down humans with torches and pitchforks!

    Better start practicing your 'Make you Nap!' power right now... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: just joking :flowerforyou:

    I would have the superpower of finding lost non-essential household items. as in "Dang, where is a pen? ... Oh right here on the table, but not in the pen cup."

    My current super power is getting thing of the top shelves.
