Countering the uselessness of super-useless superpowers
Darren shared the website of SuperUseless SuperPowers on his blog (although neither him nor I remember who shared the actual link to the site – I do remember having seen it on Twitter too) and I got a real chuckle out of it. What I found extremely interesting is that commenters were trying really hard to justify the super-useless super power (hence, rendering it actually useful). See for example the justifications for the super-power of lukewarm touch.
The super power is:
Lukewarm Touch.
An estranged 3rd cousin of the Midas Touch, the Lukewarm Touch allows its hero to touch any temperature liquid and turn it to room temperature. Perhaps somewhat useful if captured by cannabalistic pygmies.
But even funnier are the justifications for the super power (commentaries)
If you’re a parent that has to deal with reheating formula/breastmilk, this super power would actually be killer.
I’ll admit… if I had a superuseless superpower, I’d certainly appreciate feedback on how to make it actually useful!
