To be able to play any instrument masterfully just by picking it up.

Telekinesis is useless in everyday life? How does that even make sense? Telekinesis is the most useful everyday super-power(IMHO).Kahunaburger said:Really, a lot of the stock ones (controlling fire, telekinesis, etc.) would be pretty useless in everyday life haha. Unless you were a firefighter or a solider or something.
The way I see it is, you got one second: what are you going to do that could possibly prevent any serious problem? Even in a fistfight, you're going to need to be more than one second ahead of your opponent.Subwayeatn said:That would be EXTREMELY useful, haven't you ever been in a situation where if you reacted a second earlier you'd prevent something bad?PureIrony said:The power to see one second into the future.
Like getting killed walking around a corner in an fps or stepping on a nail?
DUDE WTF?? Great power. Professional sports, professional video games, you could make so much money off that. Not to mention being damn hard to kill, it's fucking spider-sense. I want, so bad.PureIrony said:The power to see one second into the future.
How about the ability to smell the dark?Flailing Escapist said:The ability to smell in the dark would be pretty useless.
apparently there is a energy drink that already does thisUnendingLight said:The ability to change the color of your piss.
so uh...how's the weather up there?Caverat said:The ability to communicate with plants. Useless. What interesting thing would grass have to say?
better reach, more leverage...Korolev said:There's a pretty legendary useless super power that was actually in the comics a long time ago: it was the ability to make your limbs spontaneously fall off, to be used as weapons. Literally, there was a character called "arm-fall-off-boy" whose only ability was to make his arm fall off, so that he could club someone on the head with his detached arm. The pointlessness of this power is mind-boggling - if you're going to use your arm to hit someone, why not just punch them? Why detach your arm to use as a club? And isn't it a bit stupid to use your own limb as a weapon? Why not a baseball bat?
Well, okay - better reach is actually a fair point. But if you were a super hero, wouldn't you carry around a weapon all the time, like a bat or a fancy sword? Many others do. Plus, removing your arm to use as a club would endanger your arm (can you imagine using your arm to block a sword strike?) and it would basically handicap you - you wouldn't be able to defend yourself as effectively because you've only got one arm. I suppose the only advantage of this power would be to be able to temporarily remove one's limbs to fit into tight spaces, but even that's not much of a power.viking97 said:better reach, more leverage...Korolev said:There's a pretty legendary useless super power that was actually in the comics a long time ago: it was the ability to make your limbs spontaneously fall off, to be used as weapons.

and do you really want to carry a bat around with you all the time?
i'd want this only if i could then reattach my fallen limbs.
