-the power to conjure boot-to-the-head strikes (what would you do with all those single boots?)
Actually... that's a superb power.

How about the power to randomly spawn rabid tasmanian devils in people's trousers? (Doesn't exclude the caster!)

Turning everything you touch into gold

Just about any superpower can fuck you right back. Invincibility win inevitably lead to you going mad after watching everyone around you die on the battlefield. Immortality will lead to you going mad after everyone around you dies. Flight will result in you either flying into power lines, getting sucked into a jet turbine, or you getting shot down accidentally. Laser vision for obvious reason. Same with heat vision.
...
Just about every Superman power has to potential to backfire.
They would all backfire if not for his impenetrable skin/ invincibility.

I am pretty certain one of the worst superpowers has to be the ability to regenerate and/or survive inflicted injuries. Why exactly though?

The reasoning is simple. Though you are effectively invincible, that doesn't necessarily equal the same thing - you're still going to feel everything and the fact that you can't die is going to lead you into more and more situations where you're going to get REALLY badly hurt. Not to mention, you're probably willing to take even bigger risks and get even MORE hurt in the knowledge that you can't die.

Worse yet, if a super-villain hooked you up to an endless torture machine, you'd be in quite a damn spot, now wouldn't you? Yes, regeneration/guaranteed-survival is nifty, but it doesn't come along with inherently offensive abilities like other powers and means that you're always 'the guy' that's going to get his ass kicked (whether by your whim or otherwise) over and over and over.
