Random superpwers that make nearly no sense.

[electric discordian]

The power to make millions of pounds disappear and yet never be caught for theft or Fraud.....

Politician man and his side kick Boy accountant

 

[Zombie_Fish]

The power to summon clones of Dara O'Brien upon will.

Whilst that would be funny I doubt it would be productive.

 

[Cerebreus]

Someone whose overall perception is one minute slow has the compensation of seeing one minute into the future.

 

[El Poncho]

The ability to make pizza with ur mind but when u try to eat it, it dissapears

 

[Simalacrum]

some old manga I used to read were the protagonist could turn garbage into trees...

 

[dekkarax]

super ventriliquism.

 

[Internet Kraken]

The power of glowing teeth.

Your teeth glow, and that's about it. You have a dazzling smile.

 

[aww yea]

the power to forget?

but not when you want

 

[Timewave Zero]

Turn invisible when no-ones looking?

Ah, Mystery Men. How I miss thee. A prime expamle of random and crappy superpowers.

Also, Mystery Men rocks.

 

[Timewave Zero]

The power to change the pH balance of things...

In combat, it would basically just turn into a "dissolve people into a puddle of acidic or alkaline mush", but it's an interesting take on the "dissolve people into mush" superpower.

Hey, that's pretty cool. HEY!!! That's a good one! It makes sense! Fuck off and make one that's weird! Fuck off in the nicest possible meaning, of course.

 

[Timewave Zero]

I said it once, twice, three times and now four times... I've found that it can fit this thread nicely as it is also pretty random:

The power to manipulate and reshape my own living flesh into an endless range of disfigured and hideous shapes. (I'm basing most of the ideas for appearance on the game Dead Space by the way). So therefore I could sprout bony spikes out of the palm of my hand and an extra set of limbs could burst of my stomach, I could sprout giant spider arms out of my back or turn my legs into a long whip like tail with a barbed spike on the end and my arms could get stronger and function as legs. I could sprout fangs or mandibles as well. I could make the skin of my legs and arms merge together into wings and fly. Or sprout tentacles out of my back or even split myself into several independant organisms. I could sprout flood-like tentacle claws out of either arm. The possibilities are ENDLESS.
My flesh, bones, organs and even blood... like clay can be moulded and reshaped into anything.

That power would be cool but even if I was the ultra cool superhero I'd still get ported over by the other superheros who are also tragic brooding rebels but have slightly 'sexier' super powers. And therefore my alias Nomad would be very appropriate.

You see, this is also an awesome one. Kind of like Alex Merver in [Prototype]. MAKE BAD ONES AND WEIRD SHIT!!! Like Moose-Control.

These are all too good, dammit!

 

[LaughingTarget]

Dodging the rain, but nothing else

Being able to turn into brick, but can't move

The ability to talk to fish (in Phil Ken Sebben voice: Aquaman, ha ha, pointless)

The power to insert something into one ear and have it come out the other one

Being able to see the world in binary

The ability to become incredibly attractive, but only in absolute darkness and when no one is looking

 

[cubikill]

I thought of two.
1. The ability to lactate and/or sweat and liquid you want.
2. Anything you hump changes color .

 

[Pseudonym2]

i.e. Deus Ex Machina! power: The power to manifest world ending powers ONLY when you are in a life or death situation. Never anytime else.

One of the character from the Marvel universe has this, but I can't remember his name. He was once attacked by the Hulk and picked up the ability to teleport 500 miles away.

How about, The ability to make people "not care." A limited mind control power.

Agent "!" from Doom Patrol has this power or at least he "comes as no surprise". It's very useful since he can waltz into any lair or base and no one will care or be surprised enough to stop him.

The power to change personalities at will.

The catch, they're all five kinds of crazy.

Crazy Jane, also from Doom patrol is like this. She has 60 different personalities.

Gender Bender, the ability to change sex and never turn back.

On of the antagonists from Un-men has this. S/he was less than happy about it.


There are a ton of other ones here I recognized. The main super power I could never figure out was how Superman flew. He can hover over water without it rippling so it doesn't use Newton's second law. He can flay in space so it's not anti-gravity. What keeps him in the air?

 

[Riding on Thermals]

a bad superpower???

the able to talk to fishes?

Uh, you would get to be in the Justice League. That's not too bad.

true but does anyone even care about Aquaman?

Honestly, I really like Aquaman. Sure, the ability to communicate with ocean-life is next to useless, but all his other powers are pretty standard fare. He's one of the most "human" superheroes (with the obvious exception of Batman), where his strengths also have flaws.

One of the reasons I never liked Superman is that he has no flaws. How is that compelling?


New power: The ability to freeze/unfreeze time, but it only activates when you sneeze.

 

[Fightgarr]

The power to turn invisible, but only when people aren't looking at you.

The uselessness of that is... Uncanny. Its like a mirror that only works in pure darkness.

Or if you were a character in a movie where you and your gang had to get by a death ray which killed everything that it could see that entered its viewing radius....

+10 points for anyone who can tell me why "The Waffler" was the best part of that particular film

I would guess because you're a Dane Cook fan.
But the truth is Tom Waits is the best part of that film.

 

[Lexodus]

The power to turn invisible, but only when people aren't looking at you.

Oh come on, the only thing that's crazier than that is Janeane Garofalo fighting crime with a possessed bowling ball. >___>

I love that film.

Also, search bar? I'm sure we've done this before. I remember one of the best from the last one was 'the power to choke yourself with your mind'.

I don't like him because he's a TOOL. Also, he's pathetic. He gets beaten up by everyone, and every single tweenage girl and her dog has kryptonite now.
