Superhero Powers You Won't See Soon

Don’t forget the odiferous discharge from his anal glands! The humour-impaired adversaries are reduced to fits of vomiting and are easily subdued by the local constabulary (assuming they’re equiped with proper Hazmat apparati).

Some friends and I used to have a running joke about Man Man, whose only power was that no strange energy, unknown chemicals, radioactive animal, surgical experimentation, ancient spell, or in fact anything else could give him super-powers. So he alone would emerge from secret wars and transformative catastrophes unchanged. This would be very valuable, as he could be sure he was never carrying an alien symbiote or bonded to the spirit of an evil god or anything.

Vomit Man

Able to projectile vomit to ranges of several miles.
Unlimited amounts of vomit, not restricted to his consumption or the laws of physics.
Able to change the consistency, to vomit solid chunks or strong acid.

Isn’t this just Matter Eater Lad with bulemia?

How about someone who can talk to animals? Only since most animals aren’t that smart, it’s like being able to get one or two word replies from a low-functioning idiot.

You mean like this?

This would…almost be usable as a genuine super-ability for a character. A good one, too. :eek:

Anyway…

Neuropath! Generates the symptoms of unusual neurological disorders in his enemies, at will! Hard to depict on page, but pretty fascinating to read!

Legal Eagle! Preternatural skill and eidetic knowledge of all human law (criminal, civil, and corporate)! Also a hemophiliac.

The Mighty Thorazine! Turns crazy enemies sane when in personal contact—so you can turn the Joker normal, but only if you get close enough to grab on.

Or the Schwartzman Dog Translator. Hey!

There was an alternate-timeline Fantastic Four story where Ben Grimm (The Thing) was that last normal man.

Unfortunately for everyone else, the benevolent alien race who gave most of them their powers weren’t so benevolent. He ended up facing their leader, wearing a suit that mimicked the powers of those around him. Pity for him his plan involved killing all the superpowered humans around him.

And I strongly agree with Don’t Ask: a super"hero" whose power is date-rape is double-plus ungood.

Pelikenesis Woman can move seabirds with her mind!

The Dangerous Chef has the ability to prepare deadly materials to taste like delicious French or Thai food!

Teen heroes Wedgie, Indian Burn, Purple Nurple and Madeyalook.

Invisibility.

Quite possibly the only proper answer.
