Most unusual BUT useful power you have ever seen or thought of

[Mirroga]

What do you consider to be the most unusual BUT useful power you have ever thought of? It can be an unusual power you've seen in books / shows or you have just thought of. It can also either be useful practically or in combat.

The most unusual combination of powers I've ever seen is from the manga/anime "Law of Ueki."
His powers are:
- Turn a target's thoughts into text messages, once he touched the target
- Swap places with the target he touched

He then combines these powers to read the opponent's next moves, then swap places to take advantage of the environment or use his opponent's moves against itself.

This set of powers would also be useful in real life. You can read minds, and use swapping to take advantage of teleportation.

The power to Jack off without being seen

The ability to materialize hotdogs...or was it any food in general?

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

The ability to make anything orgasm on touch. Not for sexual purposes, but because it'd be amazing in a fight.

And to amuse people at the zoo.
"Which animal next?"
"The Hippo!"

Thanks to the comedian Russel Howard for that one.

[AdmiralWolverineLightningbolt]

the ability to change the channel by blinking
so useful when that damn remote feels like too much effort to lift

 

[ZeroMachine]

The ability to pull money out of your ass on demand. I've heard many people say "well, maybe we could afford that... let me bend over and pull some money out of my ass!"

It'd be hilarious to see at least one person actually do it. And as odd as it would probably feel, well... you'd be getting money!

 

[Skuffyshootster]

The power to give people indigestion.

There's an X-Men issue about this. I think the most useless mutant power in the universe is owned by this one guy who has the ability to melt his face. It serves him absolutely no purpose and has no benefit to anyone. The only time it ever really helps him is when someone goes: "Hey, we need someone that can't be identified." And he's like: "Oh okay" *Bllldfffdfd*

 

[APPCRASH]

Punching people through the internet. You have been warned.

 

[New Troll]

Power to deliver a whisper to anyone's ear. Think telepathy but more realistic.

 

[DarkFenix]

to be able to reach into your pocket and always pull out the exact amount of money needed no more looking for change in your wallet ever again.

 

[Croaker42]

The power to not need sleep. Imagine all the stuff you could get done.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

The power to not need sleep. Imagine all the stuff you could get done.

I'm going to agree with this

 

[ae86gamer]

The ability to reach into a brown paper bag and pull out an infinite amount of marshmallows. That would be an awesome power.

 

[G1eet]

The power to make women orgasm by merely pointing at them and saying "booyah".

Edit: Woops, didn't even see Oblivious' post. I got that one from the Chuck Norris joke book.

I'll take two, thanks

Not what the OP is referring to. What he wants is the oddest but most useful ability you have ever seen or thought of, as the title suggests.

Is the power of quicksave and quickload unusual?

What about the power to so representative images of what a person will do in the near future once you touch them? so you can actually see where they will go and what they will do through a set of still images ranging forward in time ahead of the moving body?
