The Incredible Jerk - Blessed with the power to annoy the hell out of anyone within half a mile radius.
can continue to drive slowly, slowing all traffic stuck behind him, no matter what amount of psychic pressure is bent upon him.
How about Metor Attractor Boy. The last time I heard about him was the first time he used his power.
Maybe he’s photosynthetic?
Scott Adams had Dilbert starring as Boro, the most boring man in the universe. Like the male version of Big Alex, he could bore his date in seconds by regaling her on his boss’s funny confusion of token ring and ethernet.
The Red Herring!
His only superpower is to make people think he has more superpowers.
I read one comic book once that had a character with the ability to blow up with the strength of some super-duper powerful bomb. She said that she could only use it once…
The Estimator- Has that ability that Dustin Hoffman’s character has in Rain Man of counting stuff really really fast, except not always perfectly accurate. Also can estimate about how many inches or centimeteres an object is just by looking.
The Man of Milk- Ability to keep milk from spoiling.
Elitist Movie Bastard Man- Thanks to his abilities, he has both seen, and hated, every movie ever created.
Athletic Supporter Man- Has psychic ability to freeze motion. But only if the thing in motion is a baseball. And only if it’s about to hit someone in the nuts.
Can obliquely insult others without saying anything directly.
Already done. Papercut was a villian on * The Adventures of Pete & Pete*. He’s the first “foe”.
“Would you like some nice buttery toast today? How about some scones? A muffin perhaps? Hello? Hello?”
“We want no muffins, no toast, no tea cakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels. No croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes, and no hot cross buns. And definitely no smegging flapjacks!”
I’m bad with superhero names so put your own before the abilities
Can mess up people’s hair, like, really badly.
The ability to travel back or forward in time by exactly one second.
The ability to tell exactly how much memory is in a computer instantly
Anti-Jingles can get any song stuck in your head, even if it hasn’t got a catchy beat
Someone who can instantly see everyone’s memories as if they were his/her own for a moment, and can’t control their power. (Think about it, you’d become sympathetic to villains and hate your best friends and so on.)
Oh, yeah, that exactly the level of creativity I’ve come to expect from you.
“Oh, a waffle man, eh?”
Recall – remembers absolutely EVERYTHING that he ever saw, heard, felt, smelled, tasted, thought, or experienced in any way whatsoever.
As a result, he’s pretty much paralyzed by:
a total inability to make generalizations, since he remembers ALL the exceptions
extreme difficulty understanding the whole concept of “time”, because every moment of his life is as vivid as this instant
total emotional burnout, because he’s always experiencing the full effect of all his best and worst memories at once
Actually, this could possibly be useful in a fight. If you get hit, or shot, or stabbed, instantly go back a second and dodge really quickly. Repeat until you win or get away.
This all reminds me too much of the scene in “Mystery Men” when they are auditioning asipring superheros to join their elite cadre of crimefrighters. That movie just cracks me down every time. lol
Bateman - the ability to discern the brand of any item of clothing worn by an enemy.
Man-man - the ability to wear tights and a cape and not have his sexuality questioned (a la ‘bruce wayne’ and ‘dick’ grayson)

Now one of my own:
Speedthru: infallibly picks the quickest lane, whether in the supermarket or on a multi-lane road.
Yes Cankerist, this is exactly like Mystery Men (liked that one, too). Only this time we can play, too.
Didn’t get this one at first, but on review: ROTFL! And yes, how did he do that?
