The lame superpowers thread.

[Darkflame]

Captain Some Batteries Included. Intuitively knows what kind of battery a device needs, and will have some, but not all, of the batteries needed for it.

Genius.

Captain Some Batteries Included. Intuitively knows what kind of battery a device needs, and will have some, but not all, of the batteries needed for it.

What if a device only needs one battery?

Fast Man. Has the ability to abstain from eating for a longer than normal time.

People can survive up to 3 weeks without food. So "longer than normal" could theoretically be like 3 1/2 weeks...

I'm "finding the obvious flaws" man!

Cool Dude. He has a below average body temperature compared to everyone else. Making him slightly more adept at living in hot countries.

Unfortunately, this talent became a liability when he grew much older. It means people had to be very careful to keep his body temperature content and healthy.

Human-man - Half man, other half man

Captain Some Batteries Included. Intuitively knows what kind of battery a device needs, and will have some, but not all, of the batteries needed for it.

What if a device only needs one battery?

Then the battery "SBI man" has, has only JUST enough power left in it to power the device for 2 minutes. Tops.

Has a knife-guy. If there is no other knives easily accessible: able to produce 1 random type of knife from whatever clothing he/she is wearing. No formal knife-fighting training.

Waterdude. Can communicate with fish and other aquatic creatures, however usually comes off as demanding and not worth the fish's time to help. More accurately: has the ability to bribe fish.

[Ptangmatik]

Slinky man: Can cartwheel down stairs, hitting each step with first his feet, then head, then feet again, then head again etc. on any staircase.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

Milkman, and his nemesis Convenience Grocery Store Man.

[Atifexe]

The Beautician: Anyone he's attracted to finds themselves gradually becoming more and more attractive by their standards. He, however, has a crippling fear of beauty, and his ability to speak in their presence is inversely proportional to how beautiful they feel.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

The Amusician. He makes other people lol.

[Darkflame]

Super-Racist - The most inappropriate power ever.

[Keab42]

Regenerative healing, but only in your little toe.

[Atifexe]

Dead-man: A corpse. No known powers, but occasionally convinces criminals to cease crime with a mild reminder of their own mortality. But only if the crime occurs in the field in which he is still laying unburied.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

Future Scent.

Can smell the future. All he can smell is people's farts though.

[TStodden]

I guess it's time to disclose my family's curse / lame superpower...

My family has the uncanny ability of vivifying restaurants for an evening. Enter a place deserted & usually leave with the place busy.

It's more pronounced with multiple family members (generally by blood).

I can't confirm this, but my mom stopped at one place (while visiting my sister at college) that was like "ghost town" dead as she wanted a quiet place to have dinner & left with her meal comped by the owner as others started dropping in.

It's just funny when the "curse" kicks in when we stop somewhere for dinner.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

Could be monetized.

[Master Gunner]

Yeah, you could make a good deal of money off of that kind of superpower.

[Darkflame]

It might be because your willing to step into dead restaurants. I think a lot of people are put off and don't go in - causing a kinda feedback effect.
By overcoming that social initeria it breaks the cycle and everyone comes in.
[/boring explanation]

Either that or your family is quantomly entangled with the specific part of the brain in every other human that determains if a restaurant looks nice to eat in.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

Regardless, the world is a better place because of your family.
It gives quiet restaurants a fair chance.
-
The world if a better place because of your family anyway. They produced you into existence. <3
