Thanks go to Garp (a fellow member of Wil Wheaton's Geeks group on Propeller) for posting about this and making me aware of it. It's a very funny little blog called Superuseless Superpowers. Each post is a different Superuseless power, and the powers the writer has come up with are pretty damned amusing.
Pictured above is the illustration for the Superuseless Superpower of "In Flight Flight" which is the ability to fly, but only while in the confines of a moving airplane.
Other examples of great Superuseless Superpowers that can be found on the site are The Slightly Invisible Man, Lukewarm Touch and more. My personal favorite though, was this one:
13th Bullet Bulletproof
SUPERUSELESS SUPERPOWER: Eventual Kevlar Skin
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Boink.
So what's your Superuseless Superpower? I believe my power would be to be able to see exactly two and a half seconds into the future. It's just enough time to see the car that's about to hit you, but not enough time to dodge out of the way.
But hey, at least I'd die knowing what hit me.
