Levitation sounds incredibly useful for anyone with any semblance of an active lifestyle. You'd never need a ladder again... also, it would be great for rock climbing.
For useless, I'm going to go with the ability to spray blood out of one's urethra at will. It would have the pressure of a firehose (thereby qualifying it as an actual superpower), but would be limited by the blood you have in your body- the same as any other blood loss.
If you have the ability to control exactly how much blood you shoot out at any one given time this is exactly the same as the power the protagonist has in deadman wonderland except he shoots it out of his wrist annnnnd I think he can shoot it withmore pressure than a fire hose, maybe, he uses it as bullets.
I agree with you on the levitation thing, even if it was a really weak form of levitation and you could only use it for a few seconds or float like 10 feet up the least he could do is use it to jump off of high places like an airplane or something or he could use it in conjunction with some sort of martial art or parkour to pull off some fancy shit, especially if it was like Zero G levitation where he keeps all his momentum.
the most useless super power I can think of is the power to digest anything you can put in your mouth and chew. I guess this might be good for a survivalist actually
ok the most useless super power I can think of is the power to heal self inflicted injuries... actually a magician could turn a bit of a profit by cutting off his hands to get out of a trap or something plus you could make a killing selling body parts
Ok the most useless super power I can think of is the power to talk to animals however they are made no more intelligent than they currently are when you do. Although I suppose this would be somewhat useful to a Vet or a circus performer...
the ability to read super fast? no
the ability to walk normally underwater. it would afford you mildly better control but any profession that would use that control would have taught you far better maneuvers anyways so whatever.
The psychic ability to know the name of anyone you see but only while you see them unless it is said allowed.
