WARNING GIF OVERLOAD For this Newly Themed Contest LOL But trust me, it is for a good purpose and will provide inspiration for the writing process

Who doesn't love superpowers? Wouldn't you want to have one? But what if they came with a catch, a controversial aftereffect? Can you come up with a cool superpower with a major setback? I always want to keep Steemit interesting and introduce contests and engaging creative opportunities that I want to see here in our thriving, growing diverse community. I don't have much STEEM to give, but it's always important to give back, whether we have a little or a lot. So let's run, swing, fly and batmobile to it!

RULES
What kind of Catch 22 SuperPower can you describe and write within a two sentence frame? In order to be a valid entrant, please be sure to follow my other profile @peacemaker for more stories and other topics and Submit your 2 sentence Catch 22 SuperPower below in the comments section for it to be a valid entry. I will be now making this a weekly contest, maybe I'll rotate out some different contests as well. The deadline to submit is Sunday June 25th, 2017 at 11:59pm Germany time, so anyone entering on Next Monday will not be a valid entrant. One entry per person so give it your best shot. There are no length restrictions to a sentence as long as your two sentences are grammatically structured and readable. Don't rush, take your time, and check for spelling mistakes as it might ruin my experience reading your Catch 22 SuperPower on the first time through. Winners will be announced Monday. Please resteem this to spread the word and get more participants involved.

That should give you a more than enough time to think up something creative with an unforeseen , detrimental or even funny twist. I look forward to being entertained by your endless and limitless ideas of imaginative super capabilities.

HERE ARE THE VALID ENTRIES FROM EVERYONE SO FAR, DON'T WORRY, THERE IS STILL TIME TO ENTER
IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR ENTRY HERE, IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW ALL OF THE RULES TO QUALIFY AS A VALID ENTRY SO PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK AGAIN, ONCE YOU FIX IT, I'LL ADD YOUR ENTRY HERE BELOW

@Patriot
The ability to read minds. However only things that would emotionally hurt you.

@Matthewtiii
You can shoot super hot flames onto your enemies, destroying them instantly. The problem is that the flames only come from your anus.

@Aguayojoshua
The ability to see every single social media post from the last 24hrs, as long as they don't have hashtag in them.

@Gomeravibz
How about the ability to step into any person,s every thought and feeling wherever they be?? The downside being that you feel the collective pain of the Human Race!!

@Jedau
My superpower grants me temporary invincibility. But, to activate it, I would need to make a baby cry by shouting at or hurting it.

@Sethlinson
You can leap over tall buildings (like Superman, before they decided he could fly.) However, you don't have the necessary strength to survive the landing.

@Jacobchamplain
The greatest superhero ability has to be telepathy within a distance of up to 50 feet (15.25 meters). Yet, the thoughts are heard in the voice of Florence Foster Jenkins resulting in immediate panic attacks and states of confusion.

@Firstamendment
Shapeshifting but the inability to change your voice, odor, dna, fingerprints, retinas, mannerisms, accent, phobias, etc, nor be able to perfect it enough to pass facial recognition software.

@Fronttowardenemy
The superpower that I chose is the good old fashioned Time Freeze. Don't turn it on if you don't know how to turn it off.

@Jean.racines
The ability to have a profound insight into life, yourself, and the mathematical intricacies that reign over the universe. However, it only works while furiously petting angry honey badgers.

@Doctorcrypto
My super shoes grant me the power of invisibility. Unfortunately, they are squeaky shoes like the kind little kids wear.

@Gogogadget
My catch 22 super power is you have every super power imaginable, from Anime to Comics, from Goku to any of the X-men. However, when you try to activate or use your power, a random ability is chosen and you have no control over which ability it is or for how long it lasts.

@Journeyoflife
These powers light the room from darkness, but I realized it's only my night light.

@Improv
My superpower is the power of camouflage to appear like whatever material you're touching, but the downside is that you can't automatically go back to looking like you did originally. You can only change your appearance to look like whatever you touch, though you can choose not to change when you touch something.

@Pineapples
Have a superpower of your choice, but, you cannot use it when there are other people in a radius of 100m.

@Mweich
You can convince anyone to do anything; you've convinced yourself to never use this power.

Short Term Flights
Pool Party No No

The winner will be announced on Monday, have fun brainstorming

Thank you for reading this post in its entirety, I hope you enjoyed it for what it's worth.

I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.

I've raised $2678 and .95 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $95.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.

Thank you for your isolated loner superpower entry, I am pretty sure that superpower of limitless possibilities is pretty cool even when no one is around. You can always tell your friends to fly a drone to watch you perform some crazy feats :)
