I’ll stick with the strongest superpower of them all, I am Cables Never Tangle Man!
But you cannot tie knots anymore. Even worse - every knot you touch magically slips open. Be careful not to trip over your shoelaces!
Velcro has entered the chat…
So many tiny little knots
It’s going to look like a shag rug as soon as they touch it
Your cables break every 3 days
Every time you get an error it is unknown error
The power to reply to my own comment.
But you will only reply as your worst enemy would do.
but you have multiple personality disorder
You become god.
(Not oc, this is a known joke)
X ray vision
Everyone in your line of sight gets the full radioactive dosage
It cannot be regulated
Ha! So Congress can’t stop me!
I can teleport instantly to any location I have previously visited.
But each location has a specific song you must play on an Ocarina…
Thankfully my people know how big a nerd I am, so I actually have been gifted an ocarina. I’m ready. Now, what’s the song for my doctor’s office, again?
You don’t get to choose the location, it’s just a random place you’ve been before.
Fall asleep at any time and place by will
It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.
I either wake up rested or not my problem anymore.
Just make sure you pee first!
But when you wake up, you’re in a random spot in the wilderness. Every time.
You wake up with a severe headache everytime.
This is apparently my superpower and side effect combo.
True Omnipotence
(Also read/listen to Worm
But only over dial-up.
You have no choice but to see everything, wether you want to or not.
But of an unrelated universe…so schizophrenia with delusions of grandure lol
Being a cat
You make noise every time you walk
Ok, it’s basically like my cat.
Super good luck ala Domino of the X-Men.
It’s good luck for the first half of your life, then its bad luck the second half
That’s a good answer.
Reminded me of this movie.

Never saw it myself, just remembered the concept and searched
Kinda like a luck-based Freaky Friday… Starring Lindsay Lohan 🤔
Funny how the mind works. I remembered the concept, but had no idea Lohan was involved.
One day, your luck will reverse, and you know you have hit your halfway point. Before, you survived everything because of your good luck. Now, survival is a curse you cannot escape until your appointed time.
Teleportation
But you lose one of your socks every time you teleport and they’re like really cool unique ones that only work as a pair. Heartbreaking.
Butt stuff is marginally less fun.
Really depends on the butt
crab claw
Only when jorkin it
Immunity from all replies to this post.
But you are incredibly smart. BOOM GOTEM.
You end up with no superpowers at all
Hmm, but are they immune to this restriction?
Can communicate with any animal
But they can’t communicate with you
Haha imagine trying to explain that to people.
“I have a superpower, I can speak to animals they just can’t speak back”
“But everyone has that superpower, I can do that too”
“Yeh but I’m actually really talking to them, like in their language that they can understand”
“How do you know?”
“…”
I mean, you can ask an animal to do some arbitrary action specified by the other person, and then the animal (hopefully) does it. This side effect isn’t great, but it definitely still leaves some real usefulness.
Telling my dog as I go to the garage, “I’ll be back in literally one minute.” and being understood would rock.
But the thing is, if they do the thing you asked in a way where it’s noticeable that they only did it because you asked, then they are signalling to you that they understood, which is a form of communication and the word used was “communicate” with animals.
First, the use of “communicate” in the original superpower description is presumably referring to communication that couldn’t happen without the power - and the side effect uses the same term. As it stands, my dog can tell me she understands I intend to walk her by jumping off the back of the couch and being excited at the door.
So if the superpower only refers to novel communication, I’d interpret that to mean anything more than I could reasonably communicate to my dog, and more than she could communicate to me (confirmation of understanding).
If the side effect, despite using the same verb, actually renders animals LESS able to communicate with me than they already can, that seems an especially uncharitable interpretation.
Alternatively, I can ask the animal to wait until I was out of the room before performing the action for the third party. At that point, only that third party would end up communicating having seen the comprehension/performance.
Well thought out lol. You should get a genie, I think you’ll be prepared.
I appreciate the sentiment, but probably not. The genie would just scoff af my argument and say nothing was guaranteed to be “fair” about the situation. My only saving grace in talking about it here is that fellow humans are more likely to share a similar base point for reasoning.
Being able to hear from afar
But only bad music.
Invisibility.
You emit an unmaskable and extremely noticeable odour whenever invisible.
I don’t know who you’re responding to, but it sure is smelly over here.
That’s fine. That’ll just mean I’m a airborne disease since my invisibility would be infinite.
Shapeshifting to any other human or humanoid body
But you can only do so by singing, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” as loudly as you can.
But you also shift into that humans or humanoids personality
