The ability to comprehend and speak any language, as long as I am near someone or in contact with someone who can speak and read it.
Would be great for one-upping people who think they can have rude conversations just because the people around them can't understand them. I could just turn around and say 'Could you watch your language? I don't care what tongue you're speaking, don't swear when there's a little kid around' or something like that. Or just threaten to translate for people around.
Nah...even better. The ability to bestow language skills. Then, when someone might be talking smack, I can snap my fingers and next thing you know they're saying everything in whatever tongue everyone around understands, and they can't stop and go back to the language they were disguising their poor manners in. The fun factor for that alone...
I'd also like hammerspace. You know, the cartoonish ability to pull things out from behind my back or from my pockets that could never have hidden/fit in those places? That would be awesome. Even if I have to store a real item there first before I can have it.
Or the ability to create a zone where toon laws prevail. Crazy man threatens to blow up a bank, turn on the power...we just get black and sooty, he winds up a pile of ash with two blinking eyes.
Oh...and not for me, but maybe for a hot woman...Extreme Stage Prescence. She strikes a pose, spotlight comes out of nowhere, people become her backup singers/dancers. Imagine a superheroine who could just dance her enemies exhausted because they can't keep up...that would be hilarious...people would pay to see her fight.
