My _new_ superpowers from the generator seem more interesting than my [old ones](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather-get-1-million-or-three-random-superpowers/1000564/68). . . But following @LSLGuy 's order of ranking (1 = worthless, 7 = most useful), here goes: 1. **Movement Vision** (_The power to instantly take notice of things if they move._): Useless. I already have this power. 2. **Plant Merging** (_The power to merge with plant-life._): What the . . . ? Do I really need to get in touch with my inner rutabaga? “_Activate cruciform fiber diet powers!_” seems like a pretty crappy battle cry to me. 3. **Projected Thermography** (T_he power to imprint marks onto surfaces without the need of scribing tools_.) This might be useful if I worked in a machine or carpentry shop. 4. **Fire Vision** (_The power to generate beams of fire from the eyes._). Now we’re getting warmer . . . 5. **Water Manipulation** (_The power to manipulate water._) This’d be kinda cool. . . and useful when I accidentally set the newspaper on fire while staring at the crossword puzzle clue. I could tap into the atmospheric water too, to help with wildfire fighting which’d earn me some good karma points. 6. **Ultimate Vision** (_The power to have all vision-based abilities_.) Kind of a catch-all, that would be useful in a variety of situations. 7. **Possession** (_The power to inhabit the bodies of other beings/entities._) I could quite literally effect World Peace with this one. Just imagine if I could inhabit Putin for fifteen minutes on the world stage, and recall all of the Russian forces wreaking wanton havoc. Or, I could inhabit Trump, at trial, to embarrassingly drop trou and ‘self-pants’ himself in front of the Judge, Jury, and media both ruining his trial and chances at the nomination. Yeah, it’s scary to imagine Trump bending over and mooning his pasty cheeks to the Bench, slapping them while saying “I alone can fix this, this is a witchhunt,” but I’d make that sacrifice for the good of the world.
