Which superpower do you think is the most practical, versatile, and useful?

Which do you think is the least practical and most useless?

What would be a good drawback to your superpower of choice?

edit: as in superman, batman, etc. powers, not nation state powers

    … that’s not a power, that’s a disease. A bodily dysfunction that will very quickly kill you. It’s more comparable to cancer than to a superpower.

    Also I think the spirit of these questions is usually an established power, not one you just make up. If we’re making up the worst “power”/disease then it will quickly just devolve into the worst causes of either instant death, or keeping you barely alive but in tortured pain. The lava thing is neither instant death, nor really tortures you that much before killing you. use your imagination lol

      There are plenty of superpowers that have killed/guarantee/have an extremely high likelihood of causing the death of their wielders. Spawn, for example, dies from using his power. Baily Hoskins and Gentle both have powers that will kill them.

      Additionally, one could live with lavapoop powers by surviving off an IV or getting a specialized ostomy. Death isn’t assured, just highly likely.

      In fact, there are plenty of established super powers that would make death highly likely, like inability to feel pain or super speed.

      In short, I disagree with your opinion here.
