[quote name="Bookgobloblin" date="2023-01-29 21:39:19" ] the power to hear the soundtrack and easily pick up on the mood of a situation [/quote] Yes. This and the sandwhich power would be neat to have. I have a little glowing light ball floating around my head at all times. It istn strong enough to light up a room, it’s just there. It’s warm to the touch and if you spank it hard enough it makes a sort of chime sound.

any useless superpower that's flashy enough to get a supervillain's attention and make them waste months of research trying to copy it, only to find out that, yes, it really is useless and can't help them dominate the world.

Specifically fire breath that can't burn anything, like that burning bush in Prince of Egypt/Moses story where the fire doesn't burn plant or flesh.

Good news: harmless fire breath looks cool
Bad news: useless, and probably will attract every edgelord and mad scientist into my DMs

The reason why I specifically say harmless fire breath is because you can't really substitute different types of fire for each other.

If I recall correctly, fire is just a chemical reaction so every type of fire requires completely different fuel, so even if an evil super-genius found out how a person's body could breathe harmless fire (special organ, fireproof insides, etc.), they would have to start over their work to figure out how a superpowered human can breathe dangerous harmful fire without burning themselves up.

And for them to reach that point, it would take months of research to find out.

It's the Luigi way to beat a supervillain: By doing nothing except exist.

edit: I should point out it's still a useless superpower because, well, harmless fire breath means zero protection from angry evil scientists.

The ability to make something float like a balloon for a certain amount of time. Just imagine, you poke something and it just slowly rises into the air. I mean, I guess it could come in handy in some situations, but like, how often would that be the case?

Oh yeah, and it doesn't work on other people.

the power to fly but only once a day and for 5 minutes at a time
the power to breathe underwater but only when you're about to drown
the power to summon rocks out of nowhere
the power to cook the worst food imaginable
the power to do math but it only works when you have to do simple math
the power to wield giant glowing swords but the swords are harmless
the power to summon rubber bouncy balls

Summon a pair of googly eyes on a nearby rock. The googly eyes are stickers and do nothing

I want my superpower to be that I can do multi step math problems in my head and have that be sufficient for math tests

You can see through doors but only if they are open.
