    The power to release a mild sedative. Enough to knock out a room full of kindergardeners, but not enough to effect a person who drank a cup of decaf that day.

    Turning into a pony when you get angry.

    I don't think anyone could want to be a hulk-pony.

    I don't know about that. Ponies can still kick you in the teeth pretty good. And you'll never see it coming because it's like, "Oh hey, a pony is coming over here. Perhaps it will sidle up alongside me, and I can feed it this carrot and stalk of celery. That sure would be- OH GAWH MUH TEENF!*"

    *Oh God my teeth!

    1) The power to turn your feet into cheese. Not even GOOD cheese.


    2) The power to fire spaghetti from your fingertips.


    3) The power of immortality, but you're CONSTANTLY suffering from illnesses or other ailments that would otherwise kill you.

    4) The ability to smell brainfarts.

    5) The ability to turn blue paper...int YELLOW paper.

    Well, technically he never claimed ownership, I just assumed.


    He IS a Dane Cook fan.

    I don't know if it would be completely useless in combat. I mean, it would make the floor slippery and hard to stand on.
    My question is, would he be capable of dispensing marinara sauce and/or parmesean cheese from any of his many orifici?

    No, but if he had a female sidekick, I think I know where the marinara might...er...'flow' from.

    Wow.
    That went downhill faster then I thought humanly possible.
    And it's at least partially my fault.

    To make amends, here's an awesome super power:

    That was actually a character in this x-men novel I read where Magneto swipes the Sentinels and takes over NYC as a haven for mutants. There was one mutant who could make people kinda sorta sleepy. IIRC, Cargill broke her neck like a toothpick.

    The power of exact change.

    If you shove your hand blindly into a purse or pocket, you can pull out the exact change you need to complete a purchase. The power doesn't create change, so if you don't have enough you will pull out all the change you currently have. It also does work with bills, only coins. It only works when you are purchasing something, though you can handle change normally at other times.

    Thanks. ;) I was trying to think of something vaugely useful, but not super. If one lived in a super-powered universe, it would be seen as 'lame'. Though the power would be really convienient to have, 'The Changemaker' isn't going to be getting an invite from the JLA.

    You appear invisible to yourself but NO ONE ELSE. Not only do you not know what you look like, but styling your hair and make-up is a daily trial. (It would be a female superhero, of course, so she couldn't just shave her head. Well, I guess she could . . .)

    The power to excel at mediocre endeavors. Sure you may not create a corporation to rival Stark International or Wayne Enterprises, but damned if you won't cruise to be the largest rubber-stamp in Spokane County. What's kinda cool, is that you could win in ball room dancing in the Olympics. Win no name marathons, date one of the hotter, but not the hotest girl you know, and get a solid B- average without even breaking a sweat.

    For every 1 pound of your own fresh, raw flesh that you eat, you gain 1 minute of super-intellegence.

    Note: I chose intellegence because:

    A) I can think of situations where 1 minute of super strength or especially speed would be handy, but intellegence strikes me as a more long-term valuable commodity. One minute is barely enough time to get a pen and jot down "fusion=hydrogen+..."

    B) With your increased wits, you can fully appreciate just how increadibly stupid and painful your power is.
