Personally, I'm partial to invisibility that only works when I'm playing the tuba.Scarim Coral said:

<url=http://www.urealms.com/content.php?205-GRR-Podcast-Super-Powers>Rob had this discussion before and I'm going to agree, and say Sylar's powers from heros. He has a super power completely dependent on someone else having super powers. so the disappointment of knowing you are super human, but ultimately useless and just as powerful as every other human would just be so crushing.
Not quite correct, Sylar's ability is known as intuitive aptitude, and is not at all dependent on there being others with powers. That is to say he can understand/use complex things given only a cursory amount of study. The fact that he almost only uses it in the manner he does is... disappointing.emeraldrafael said:
The skill in question is all but a wet dream for people like me, who seek to not only understand the world and the way it works, but to shape it. A person could easily use it to vastly improve any aspect of human life they chose.
I'm going to say common sense for a useless super power. Because I'm not going to roll a giant tire down a hill straight into my genitals, nor am I going to jump off a roof, trying to land in the back of a moving truck. I'm also smart enough not to take a snowmobile onto a half frozen lake. I know enough to get in out of the rain, and I know enough not to cross an 8 lane highway on foot. I also know that games don't kill people, people with guns and bad intentions do.
The ability to grow feathers. That's it. Just feather growing all over your body. Doesn't hurt, doesn't have a function. Must itch like mad though...
The ability to summon fictitious beings. Like, they're still fictitious.
I would command hordes of Daleks and Borg and Minnesotans...But only in my mind, since none of them exist.

Curdling milk in a three foot radius or the ability to re-align DC Comics' continuity at will... Both excellent choices for the potentate to be.
My useless superpower would be making things useless. I just look at something and POOF it is useless now. If I look at a nice bucket of candy then POOF it tastes like tofu now.
Then again, I could probably destroy the entire world with that power, it might just be the most destructive tool ever conceived.
