Undepressable man? Optimism man? Anti-anxiety man?

If those are too good, then: Instant death man

Once, I wanted to annihilate all bedbugs in the world with a snap of a finger (I would even learn how to snap for this very purpose), just disappear them forever at my will. A single use power, nothing more than that, and I don't care what that suppose to do to the environment.

For some reason.

The power to be comfortable in any environment in just shorts and a T-shirt. No sunburn, no soggy shoes in the rain, warm while sitting in a snow drift.

Making inflated objects explode with my mind.

Car tires. Birthday balloons. Bubble wrap. Bagpipes.

Yes, I'd be a villain... or at least a vigilante. Don't run that red where I can see you... pop pop pop

How is this not an S-tier power? Did you forget that lungs are inflatable?

The power to always pack exactly the right things that I will need when I go somewhere.

Control Minor Static Charges Woman. It would make housecleaning easier and my keyboards would always be clean. I wouldn't have to get near dust bunnies, I would be able to slowly guide them to the trash can.

As someone who's spent a lot of time working in a lab, the ability to control static electricity would be a godsend! There's really nothing like spending weeks preparing a new material as a fine powder, carrying it over to the weighing scales, placing a glass sample vial onto the scales, taring it, then a scooping up some of your powder with a spatula, careful not to lose a single particle, then carefully, CAREFULLY carrying the scoop of power to the sample vial -- then seeing the static blast your powder out of the spatula to coat the OUTSIDE of the sample vial, plus the scales, plus your nitrile glove...

I have trauma.

Photosynthesis would be really nice. Even if it didn't totally replace the need for food it would be cool.

Having a hydrophobic presence covering me at all times, sans wanting to shower, drink water, etc. so I could run, bike, hike in the rain and never get wet, unless I wanted to.

Another fun one would be having the ability and skill to cook anything I want without training or recipes. However, I would gain an excessive amount of weight though.

I just want to get the USB in the right way on my first attempt. Is that too much to ask for?

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I wanted to reply with an image of USB C that appears Holy because it is your savior, but this was the closest thing I could find.

I always thought it would be cool to be able to imitate any sound effect. Totally useless but perfect for jokes.

What's B tier? On Marvel and DC scales there are several god level figures, are they like S rank? Does that make Superman like an A tier? This is hard.
