Who Wants to Be a Superhero?

A friend once introduced me to the “Lamest Superpowers” game. The goal, obviously, is to come up with the lamest super-human power for a superhero.

A few we came up with:

  • The ability to instantly change the temperature of any room by two or three degrees.
  • The ability to instantly make hair grow on anything (not just body parts, and if body parts, not just your own.) So, for example, you could make your nemesis grow a mouthful of hair just as he’s about to give the order for his trained mutant monkeys to take over the White House. Or you could grow hair on the side of a burning building to help you climb up to rescue the child at the top.
  • The ability to make things come undone. Like buckles, velcro, snaps, and such (hey, bra straps!).
  • The ability to make people instantly question what they’ve just said, no matter how sure they should be of it. “Hi, my name is Radley. Or…um….is it?
  • Super-human spelling.
  • The ability to write a terrific, very effective letter of complaint, in any situation.

    I am of course open to your suggestions.
