What Superpower would you NOT want under any circumstances?

[game-lover]

So... we see the kinds of threads asking what kind of power you'd like if you had powers quite often. They're very frequent. In fact, there's already another recent one out there right now.

But what about the opposite? It just occurred to me that no one ever really touches on that. And so... I made this thread.

Tell me what super power would you not wish to have for any reason? Be it useless, stupid, lame or whatever the case may be?

The ability to extend and retract fingernails. Laaaaaaame!

Or anything burnt face man has.

The Midas Touch seems pretty shitty, or the even worse Skittles version.

Super strength.
by the laws of physics it would not work well, first off, if you try and lift something heavy your hands will go right through it since it's so much force being concentrated on a small area, second, involuntary muscle reactions (sneezing, hiccuping, sexual stimuli) would be disastrous.

I'm going to go with the power the girl from Misfits had, anytime someone touched her all they could think about was having sex with her and couldn't resist that urge. And as soon as they let go they forgot all about it.

To be the same as Mr. Immortality. His only power is coming back to life when killed. He still feels pain and all, he just comes back. On the other hand, I'd like to be the guy who always comes back with new powers after dying, though I don't remember his name.

Mind reading, because I really don't want to know what others are thinking. Imagine what you could learn about people. *Shudders*

Super speed. The accelerated metabolism required for sustaining it could go 'wrong' to easily. You'd have to eat massive amounts of food to keep from starving yourself to death. It would be incredibly easy to injure yourself without meaning to. Plus, it seems like it would be quite possible to have every aspect of your body accelerated, your brain, your body aging, all of it. Who wants to get bored with something after a nanosecond? Or die when you're three?

 

[HotPocket]

Laser eyes would be annoying

 

[Jmurray21]

The ability to extend and retract fingernails. Laaaaaaame!

Or anything burnt face man has.

Ha ha. Meg.

I agree. The ability to grow and retract fingernails is horrible

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Mind reading/telepathy. I don't want to be constantly bombarded by the nonsensical thoughts of morons all the time.

 

[KhaosElement]

Ant man! I could become tiny and - oh shit something ate me.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

Definitely mind reading. I would hate to know what everyone around me is thinking every moment of every day. Not that it wouldn't be useful, just annoying, plus it would probably make me hate all of humanity.

 

[cainx10a]

Flying. I have vertigo ffs! > . >

Teleportation. It sounds cool until you end up in a wall...or someone else.

Teleporting in front of a train would be so much more awesome.

 

[Raizekage]

I'd go with Dr. Manhattan's power to obliterate something into pieces. I'm afraid that I could get emotional and accidentally destroy someone I care about, or something I care about.

 

[stutheninja]

the amazing absorbent man would be pretty bad, taking on the characteristics of whatever you touch would make it impossible to live a normal life at all, or stopping time, because i feel like i would use it too much and become disconnected from humanity as a whole, and live out my days in a weird frozen world, makes me shiver just thinking about it

 

[MercurySteam]

To get an erection every time I sense danger. That would be fucking stupid.

 

[Fleetfiend]

I say ANY power that couldn't be controlled, or at least dampened. That would be terrifying.
