Another good crappy superpower would be to locate lost keys. In other words go the "last place I looked is where I found them" place. I don't know how many times I've misplaced my keys and have spent minutes upon minutes searching for them, only to find them in the "last place I looked."
Can you imagine getting the lost key signal at 2:43 am. The mayor: "Hey lost keys finder man, we have an emergency. Some lady can't find her keys to go home. QUICK no time to lose!" Lost key finder dude: "Huh?? What??" That would be so awesome!!

I think invisibility is a dangerous superpower. Yeah, you can look at tits and all that stuff, but I would bet that sooner or later, you find out something you didn't want to know.
So for my real power, yeah, like everybody else, I'd choose flying. Second real power would be to have super speed. I'd love to make it from here to Hawaii in about 20 minutes. I'm loving reading everybody's crappy powers. For my own crappy power, I'd love to be able have all the dishes washed just by snapping my fingers.

Screw flying, Wishing.
You fly thru the air, guarentee you are going to get cold, at what altitude are you going to fly? So high that no one seens you, it's going to be colder, and there's that whole breathing thing... Plus what happens if it rains... or snows, or you just don't feel all that great... I want to wish myself places... I wish I was in Tahiti...

Crappy power would be.....the ability to fill gas tanks at will. I'd charge like $10 for a fillup, I'd be rich.

I would want the super power that lets me adopt other people's super powers. Sure, I know that's cheating, but hey, you're just mad you didn't think of it first.
As for the crummy one, I'd pick an auto-cleaning power, but it would only aply to laundry; as in I could touch any piece of clothing, and then it would be clean.

Good power. Time travel. It'd be so cool to go back and see the dinosaurs, watch geologic processes at high speed, see what was going to happen in the future...
Crappy power. The ability to unhinge my jaw so that I could dump whole bags of doritos in at a time. Maybe some 2 liter bottles of soda too. Additional crappy power would be to vomit them back up on command. This thread went from boring to fantastic with the addition of the crappy power bit. THANKS! |

Crappy power: the ability to conjure limitless quarters, for things like pay phones, laundry and parking meters.
Useful power: the ability to speak any language. Sure...flying, invisibility, invincibility--those are cool. But I'd be too tempted to use them for evil than for awesome. Keep it simple
