Superhero powers that would be pain in the A#@!!!

in #comics9 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemit,

I am sure that everyone of us was fascinated and enthralled with thinking: "OK, what if I could flash-freeze this beer, with my breath, like Superman does? :) " or any other of those super-awesome powers that the heroes from Marvel and DC have, but then there are those powers that would be accompanied with the total inconvenience and embarrassment to the one that wields them!


"It's probably cold enough :) "

SHRINKING

Let's get this straight - It just looks silly!
Just imagine the following picture - Your super buddies are out there, with their awesome powers, punching with the force of an Atomic Bomb, Flying Overhead, using their Heat Vision or if you are Batman, you have the most awesome power already, to be filthy rich ( which according to every lore is the most awesome power to have :) ) and you are just this little, near subatomic man-particle, just running between the feet of your super friends, trying not to get squashed.
And let's face it - in the end of the fight all the ladies won't come to you saying: "That was the most awesome shrinking that I saw in my life!!!"

MAGNETISM MANIPULATION

Yeah, I know, I know - Magneto is one of the most badass mutants there is and it looks like that he is unstoppable with his power over everything that is made of even the smallest amount of metal. (Not to mention his awesome power to stay in top-noch fitness form, despite his age)

But think about it - You are walking down the street and there is an awesome blackboard, in front of some bar, with an awesome joke:

"This one "

Aaaaaannnddd Kabooom, you have, for a fraction of a second forgot all about that pesky control over your powers.

Congratulations! Just for a few moments you have become the biggest pile of scrap in 10 block radius!

"That one"

TELEPATHY

"OK, now your are going too far! This thing is awesome!" - You may think and I know, because Telepathy :)

But is it though??!

Let's see, most people have so much random thoughts in there heads and most of the time those are the ones that in which you are imagining how to bitch-slap your boss, how annoying is that story that you are hearing for the Nth time and will this prick stop telling awful jokes!

To have this power means that you will be hearing all of this moaning, all the time, everywhere, from everyone!

From now one you will never have the feeling that you look awesome, because the first thing that you will hear, in your head, after bumping into somebody will be: "Oh, not him again" , "Oh God, how can he smell so foul, so yearly in the morning!!!" , "I cannot hear another story on Crossfit, and it doesn't look like he trains at all, anyway!"

So yeah, ignorance is bliss and anyway it would be awful to know how everyone performed in their toilet, every morning :D

In the end there are only so little, so awesome superpowers, without having any drawbacks and those should be: Flight,Speed, Strength and the most awesome of them all - to be a billionaire ( C'mon, just look how loved is Batman, Green Arrow and Iron-Man)

And don't forget to have fun!

Sort:  

I would like a smart brain super power or strength.

It would be the best to combine both! Because I am not sure that if you had the super-intelligence only, the scenario will play like in the movie Limitless or Lucy, for that matter :)

I'll take the superman body above all the other powers

Shrinking is cool. Imagine the possibilities.

Ohh, now I see more clearly :)

Being Rogue would be the worst
