Legion of Superheroes was definitely first, but it's not a concept that is out of the realm of possibility for people making a movie like Mystery Men to come up with on their own.
I think you're being too lenient, but I'll forgive you for it and move on, if only because there's nothing in the rule book that says a giraffe can't play footBALL.
Oh my friends and I did this once in line for a show. We tried to think of powers that have no actual practical use.
My favorite we came up with was blood summoning. The ability to summon, project, create, and otherwise control blood (except other peoples). It failed our challenge though because you could help the Red Cross immensely with it.
Or go into a public restroom, blast a stall, and leave it there to scare the hell of of someone.

I was going to say that it would be useless for that if it was blood infected with AIDs, but then it could be used as an offensive weapon if done right, albeit a slow acting one. So that doesn't work.
if you drink ammonia, then you go through all of the terrible pain that would entail but rather than suffer any permanent damage, your skin color temporarily changes slowly back and forth between bright orange and pale green

At the age of 5, after witnessing his parents' murder at the hands of an armed robber, Logan Wayne was sent to live with his uncle in Alberta, Canada. [...] Logan guards his secret identity well, as only his sidekick Sparrow (a combination of DC's Robin and Marvel's Jubilee) and the Huntress know of his superhero alter-ego. However, his arch-nemesis, the Hyena (A combination of the Joker and Sabretooth), also knows his secret as he was also a part of the Weapon X program which gave Dark Claw his adamantium skeleton and awakened his latent metamutant powers.
Edit: I can't believe I've never heard of Amalgam Comics before. *scratches head*

I think we all agreed to never speak of that affair again.
I usually judge super powers by the metric of "could you fight crime just as, if not more, effectively simply by buying a gun". If yes then your superpower is shit. Arm fall off boy is the first super hero I've seen who's beaten not just by a man with a gun, but by a man with a short piece of wood.

Does the Punisher give your equation a divide by zero result?
The ability to give yourself cancer.
But you can't cure the self inflicted cancer though. For that you have to go through Chemo. And it might not work.
I thought about that once myself - the only potential downside is the inevitable cross-over that will result in the character getting a lock of Superman's hair or something.

Actually...that could work...
"Honey, it's time to go to the mall for us to spend hours looking at clothing that, isn't lingerie and frankly isn't flattering, for me while you hold my purse...."
"Can't Honey....pretty sure I have cancer again."
"Again?"
"Yep. Got to go to the oncologist." And under his breath "Please god, let the chemo fail..."

Maybe you agreed to, but I thought Amalgam was a lot of fun. Dark Claw was actually a good issue as were several others, like Spider-Boy, Speed Demon, etc. It was like a fanboy's wet dream come true.
Now, the actual fights, like Wolverine beating Lobo and shit, that we don't speak of.

I thought of this one a few years back. A man with the power that if he concentrated on an individual, and hurt himself, they would be hurt in the same manner.
Paired with a hero who could heal his self sustained wounds, he would be a force to reckon with. If he were by himself? Not so much.

Or make blood appear on someones pantseat.
Yeah basically I wanted it just for prank value.
Isn't that basically spidey-sense?

What if it was pigs blood?
That senses more general danger, this would just make it so that when someone thought "Man this guy is a total asshole" you would hear it.
Though I suppose hearing "I'm gonna stab this guy in the back with a knife" would be helpful.

You may have agreed, but I've never posted in this forum before.
Just up walls, though.

I think the power to always know when someone is talking about you and what they're saying would suck ass.
I'm sorry - I tuned out - was there more to this post? ;-)
I think you want a hint of potential, but an infuriating caveat... like Super strength... but only when your eyes are closed.
Or invisibility... but only when you're on one foot.
Or invulnerability... so long as you're holding your breath.
I've never had that particular wet dream.

Also, the ability to speak any language, but not comprehend them.
Also also, super speed, but it only works when you keep your eyes closed.
