Taxes paid...one month early!

I got the short end of the superpower stick. A power that can easily be affected by a day
planner.

No. you got Batman's superpower, I think that means you automatically win the thread, because Batman.

Of all the things that make Batman interesting, I have never heard anyone reference his planning skills as an enviable feature. I would much prefer the physical prowess, awesome gadgets, deductive reasoning skills (not the same as preparedness), or his money.

Come to think of it, Batman isn't a SUPER-human at all. His abilities are not beyond the conceivable bound of human ability. Therefore, calling being prepared a superpower is a misnomer.

Batman has contingency plans for everything, he has a gadget for every occasion, and I mean every occasion:

If your still not convinced then look at this TV Tropes page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrazyPrepared Scroll down to the Broad examples categories, there's a folder for every time this trope appears in all Advertising, one for every time this trope appears in all Anime and Manga, there is a category for every time this trope appears in all comic book stories, but just before that, I'll give you one guess as to who gets their own super special batfolder category...

It is a well worn plot point in the Justice league storylines that Batman has prepared failsafe plans to defeat and neutralise every other member of the Justice league (Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, etc.) just in case they get mind controlled or go mental. Being prepared for every occasion is the only way he can compete with people who can melt things with their eyes, or play baseball with the moon!

Also I would like to draw your attention to the very link that you gave in your first post, the very webpage that details this superpower, that categorises every superhero with such a power. Click on that link again and see which superhero they decided to use as an example, out of all the other superheroes they could choose from, who was the best example of someone exhibiting enhanced preparedness?
I'll give you a clue, their name begins with the letter B.

I'm fine with your logic...until the point I need gadgets or athletic skill or both. Under the ill-defined rules of this forum game, I was to go to a random page. What I see is what I, personally, have as a super power. Under this assumption, I don't get the gadgets you mention are "for every occasion". And, every plan I see involving your Justice League example all involve technology that I will never have access to.

Here's an example. Let's say I'm trying to take down a mugger who has a gun. I don't have access to gear, so a bulletproof vest, Batmagnet, Bat Anti-bullet spray, Bat stun gun, Bat-arang, and Bat tranq darts are out. I don't have ninja skills, so dodging bullets only to disappear into the night is out (as is the inevitable "appear behind the bad guy"). No martial arts skills means I can't simply punch the mugger into submission. No detective skills means I can't really deduce where he's going so I can appear in his lair when he's most vulnerable and take him down.

So, what am I left with as a plan? If you come across the mugging, make sure I have a cell phone on me. Try to take a picture of the perp, then, quickly and silently call the proper authorities to alert them of the crime. Hopefully, the cell phone photo isn't blurry so that a proper ID can be put to the criminal and an arrest can be made. Clearly, the city will thank me as it's new vigilante superhero that is a protector of the meek and downtrodden.

Face it, without the rest of Batman's arsenal, I'm not a hero. Just a boy scout. An old, slightly out of shape, poor boy scout.

Cryptic Physiology.

I can use the powers of Cryptic beings, and can take their forms. So I can be things like the Slender man, the Bogeyman, and other stuff like that. Sweet.

rerolled and I got subliminal seduction....that comes with being eternally youthful....but the trade off is that it may also draw guys to me as well and that would be seeing home Im a straight guy

 

[GodofDisaster]

I got Magic, I'm ok with this, I'm capable of all sorts of acts ranging from defense to offense to animation.

Now all I have to do is wait for some big bearded man to come along, tell me I'm a wizard and drag me of to a school for Witchcraft and Wizardy.

[ZehMadScientist]

I got Electrical Exoskeleton.

"The user is able to gather electricity and solidify it into a form of protection. This armor functions like power armor with electrical-based abilities. This specific type of exoskeleton can also enhance the user's speed to inhuman levels due to being made of pure energized particles and works well against opponents with limited body movements."

So basically, I am The Flash with a protective lightning cloak? Yes please ^^

i could either be a master of disguise or the world's greatest voice actor.
i'm pretty sure most birds have this power already.

tally-ho.
