Whats the most original supepower that you havent seen in a comic yet?

[Major Comma]

The sky is the limit !

[ZimMan2]

Turning bread into Charleston Chews.

[Spiffy]

I was going to say "Super Digestion", but then realized that Matter-Eater Lad has to have that, in addition to his magic jaw.

Then I was going to say "Super Elimination", but I'm pretty sure I've seen Fart or Poop powers somewhere before too.

I KNOW I've seen Super Vomit. Heck, Super-Sweating too, if you count characters with Pheromone-based powers.

I'm trying to stick with actual practical choices, because something like "Super Procrastination" would be too useless.

Super Touch Typing? Nah--I bet Superman and Flash can do that.

Geez, this is harder than I thought.

[zemo]

Super hair growing. Not controling it, á la Medusa, just being able to grow it very quickly.

[ZimMan2]

How about when you get angry, you turn into a frail yellow man?

[Infra-Man]

The ability to disguise yourself as character actors.

The ability to say a word or phrase and use that word as an object. The object would not appear, but the word or phrase as written would appear instead. So you would beat someone up with a aluminum baseball bat in the form of the phrase "aluminum baseball bat" and the word would have the properties of an aluminum baseball bat.

The ability to make large groups of people dance in sync with your movements.

The ability to rearrange someone else's five senses.

[The Crushtacean]

Super-montage: the ability to just skip past all the boring crap between starting something and finishing it.

So... you aren't shooting for "practical" right? :no:

[Spiffy]

The ability to rearrange someone else's five senses.
You get the prize for coming up with the first TOTALLY practical one, I think. (At least in an "in continuity" sense, as opposed to that Super-Montage power, which would be really practical for US, the readers.)

I want this one. It'd sure as hell make cleaning shit out a lot easier.

[Hybrid2]

Super-montage: the ability to just skip past all the boring crap between starting something and finishing it.

Big super villain is about to attack the super hero.

Hero-This is boring.

Cut to the villain being taken away by the cops,beaten.
Vilain-What the hell just hapened?

[Infra-Man]

This opens up an opportunity for the following line to appear in a comic book: "This hot sauce just punched my testicles!"

[CutterMike]

A bit of a diversion, I suppose, but for me the interesting pat of the issue is the powered character's alignment.

For instance, having the power to make other people violently nauseous would be a "meh" power for a villain -- I mean, it SOUNDS like a villainous power, so where's the drama? But consider the problems for someone who DESPERATELY wants to be a Hero and whose power is the ability to induce projectile vomiting.

Even if he has the ability to target specific individuals, I'm guessing that the effect on bystanders of seeing a gang of bank-robbers ralphing into their stocking masks would likely be to set off a chain reaction of explosive purging that would make it APPEAR that he had no such control. ...And SOMEONE'S going to have to clean that up, and HE is not going to be a happy puppy. No, I can pretty much guarantee that Mr. and Ms J. Q. Public will NOT be happy when The Vominator swoops in to save the day!

"No... Really... It's all right...! Seriously -- we'd rather be pistol-whipped and robbed...! DON'T HELP US, PLEASE!!!"

And it seems a fairly safe bet that the police aren't going to be happy about having to load a bunch of vomitous perps into their cars.

Crime scene forensics...? Yeah... screw that!

His only fans are teenaged girls who follow him around so he can help them look like Calista Flockhart on a bad day.

So there's your drama -- the guy who wants SO MUCH to do the right thing and be a hero, who is loathed by the public on a scale that would make Spider-Man and the Hulk say "Dude, I am SO sorry...!"

[The Crushtacean]

Big super villain is about to attack the super hero.

Hero-This is boring.

Vilain-What the hell just hapened?

Exactly. That power can be abused horribly. Imagine if a villain had it? The power doesn't require you to figure out how to do what you are attempting, just start trying it, and BAM! you are finished successfully.

[Guapo Mendez]

A super hero who can summon newspapers to help him fight. He's about to get shot? How about a ton of newspapers appear between him and the shooter?
He needs to attack someone? He can form blunt weapons out of rolled-up newspapers.

Best part is that the amount of newspapers he can appear is related to how many newspapers could be around him. If he's in a desert, maybe a page would appear, but if he's near the print district or a recycling center, he'd be prepared to stop WWIII.

[Spiffy]

Oh, here's one...

I mentioned before that pretty much anything which comes out of body has probably been used before. Sweat (aka "Pheromones"), passing gas, spit (laced with acid, of course)...

But how about Earwax!

Our hero's earwax is a powerful hypnotic agent!

Think of the possibilities! :scared:

:)

[Dream]

Super hair growing. Not controling it, á la Medusa, just being able to grow it very quickly.

Bo-bo-bo-bo. It's a manga/anime.

[stealthwise]

The ability to rearrange someone else's five senses.

I swear I've seen that somewhere...

I got this idea from a woman at work who seems to be obsessed with laminating everything, and thought it might be a good superpower to be able to sandwich evildoers between two pieces of plastic. Fear The Laminator!

And then I realised it was really stupid, but it gave me another idea for another hero: The Shrink Rapper! She has the power to make villains smaller and therefore easier to handle by reciting poetry with a beat!

Wouldn't the lamination make the villains harder to grab, and therefore more powerful?

I always thought it'd be cool if there was a superhero who could mentally make people taste whatever he's eating. That'd be awesome.

Imagine a villain being distracted by a sudden FOUL taste in his Mouth,
Just before the Hero Knocks him out!
Works for me

[Silent G]

The ability to smell like Joe Don Baker on command.

[leafinsectman]

I haven't seen/read it yet but it does exist in a comic so I don't know if it counts.

King City fallows the adventures of Joe and his furry cat companion Earthling. Earthing is more then just a fuzzy pet, Joe can use a serum to turn Earthing into anything from a tool, to a weapon. King City is a dark place where drug, sex and crime rule the streets.

Joe is what they call a Cat Master and Earthling J.J. Catingsworth the 3rd is his cat companion. Here's a bit of info in him.


Earthing is a cat who has the ability to become anything, a tool, a weapon, anything his owner Joe can come up with.

Earthling is the cat companion of Joe. Equal parts friend and tool, he has exhibited a seemly endless arrey of abilities. He is also incrediblly intelligant, able to grasp complex concepts and preform dificult tasks with out Joe's help.

To activate many of his abilites a special serum is required. Joe's carried belts with syringes full of the serum to be ready for every occasion.

Some non-combat abilities we have witnessed;

* Turning into a grappeling hook.
* Acting as a flash light
* Turning into a wind-up skateboard
* Duplicate a key
* Produce a parachute to slow falls
* Preform an autopsy

Earthing is also a fiece fighter and his changing abilities give him amazing fighting skills. Some manuvers we have seen include:

* Turning into a ball and ramming opponants
* Breathing Fire
* Cutting 100s of objects in a multi-block area in half

How insane does that sound?
