The power to make flowers bloom 2 minutes earlier, but only if used during planting.

Able to leap tall outhouses with a catapult.

Able to tie your shoes off-handed.

Able to name the planet Alf came from.

Able to pick your nose with your big toe. In public. And not be stared at.

Able to make public bathrooms smell like springtime. (Actually, I'd prolly pay for that...)

Able to laugh at everyone at the Will Shatner roast.

Able to rotate your underwear clockwise around your waist while wearing it.

Able to recite the alphabet backwards, skipping all the vowels, and giving the sign-language equivalent as you pass by. While drunk. (Tapeheads!)

Able to give Wierd Al Yankovic his 'fro back.

Able to fly, except in a atmosphere.

Able to be truly perfect. That will get you killed if it goes public, so it's useless.



With Tolerance For A Couple Off The Top Of My Head...

Extremely heightened tactile olfactory senses.

Meaning that you can smell anything really really well, but only if you if you're touching it.

I think the character Super-X from SAVAGE DRAGON has a pretty useless power. He has the ability to repel dirt from his body to keep his clothes clean, but he also repels soap and so smells constantly. Genius!

You know, I think IŽd absolutely LOVE a comic where everybody has a completelly useless power and yet the writer managed to have them save the day through inventive use of those powers.

Key word being "inventive". :D

The child of an unholy union between a human woman and a vampire father, she has all the vulnerabilities of a vampire -- and none of the powers.

Didn't they do that in "Sky High" (mom alert)? There was the kid who could shapeshift, but only into a guinea pig, the kid who could melt into a puddle, and the kid who could glow. Yet they saved the day . . .

useless super-powers? The ability to make all keyboards within a given radius get stuck on caps lock, the ability to shed all hair on the head and body at will, the ability to convert small metal objects into pennies - but only pennies, and, last but certainly not least, the ability to instantly recharge ONLY C sized batteries

Had completely forgotten about that one....

I was thinking more along the lines of Mistery Men. :p
